Hi all, can suggest a good Mattel head for Owen Hart which just require minor fix up like repainting. I was thinking using any Zack Ryder without the moulded head band.  Hmmm... I think need to repaint the eye brow. |

Awesome job! That looks so much better than the figure Mattel produced. |

The only paint i have learnt how to use properly is tamiya acrilyc paint. Its so easy just add a bit of water than u can brush it however u want without dripping or sticking. I can't find them in fluorescent though so i give another brand a try; mr.colour by mr.hobby. (also a japanese brand as I live in asia.) The green one is not acrylic i think as it can't mix with water nor with acrylic thinner i have bought. And its very thick and sticky. So i get my wife to 'teach' me which in the she painted the whole thing. Hehe. Thanks to her. The lighting kinda highlight the flaws tho. Oh and after a lot of trial and error and amendments, (due to using mr.colour paint but this one is acrylic and i painted it on myself but i have yet to figure out the correct mixture between to sticky n too watery and either way the colours are kinda hard to sit.) my mr.perfect is complete. I love the bulk and height of it now. What kinda size is suitable to post the pic? Is this correct size or needs to be bigger? I'm on a mobile phone so i may see it differently. Nice man, Perfect is perfect, I love the warrior too. Are you using the flat or gloss tamiya? They don't make florescent colors in flat, have to go with gloss. But THe gloss bonds better than the flat paint, so I switched over to that as the finish doesn't matter once you seal it. I have a Florescent Green and Orange in Tamiya, The green on my green RVD was that green with a little Yellow dry brushed in places to get a sunburst type look. it says "light green" on the bottle. |

Here's the hogan I was talking about before, My No paint, made for play, trimmer 1998 Hogan. I'm probably gonna swap the boots out later, just didn't want him to look too plain with no paint work lol. Can see he's in scale too.  |

 Finished my Brock lesnar street attire. It's the BAF teddy Brock with B15's cena hands and shoes. My first ever custom/fix up and I think it looks great! That Brock is sweet looking, man. Even Honky seems to be approving of it! Weird to me that Mattel hasn't been able to make that themselves yet. But hey, the more Brocks in red/black shorts the better right? Oh wait...   |

^ Loving That Hulk raven! How did you manage to get the Undertaker hands into the Rock's arms? I tried putting Taker's hands into HBJ arms & they where extremely loose and looked really awkward.

I am going to try the BP vince hands next, if they don't work, then it's back to taker hands and I'll use the floor finish to tighten them up. |

Cause i have used a spray on multipurpose acrylic matt sealer before but its too mat and the paint still chips. Ur wcw hogan looks perfect too! |

2 things...
1) if I want to put a Havoc Unleashed angle head on a swagger body, is there any modding needing done?
And
2) can someone please share with me a good AJ Styles custom? I'd really like to make one without having to do a torso swap or paint, really need a formula and reference image PLEASE!
Thanks so much! Keep up the great work guys

Cause i have used a spray on multipurpose acrylic matt sealer before but its too mat and the paint still chips. Ur wcw hogan looks perfect too! thanks. I use the one on the left for flat finish, one on the right for gloss finsh (figures for play it works great). These are the florescent colors I have, the blue says "Sky blue X-14" Orange is "Orange X-6" Green is "Light green X-15" They are all gloss. If you having problems with chipping, you need to wash/scrub the figure down with warm soapy water and I use a green scrub pad. It gets rid of oils and grease and will scuff up the surface so it is more porous and the paint bonds better. Then let it sit 2-3 ays before you seal and use light layers of sealer with an hour inbetween coats and you shouldnt be able to chip it off with your finger nails. When I use the gloss sealer, it makes it really slick so I can't even catch my nail on it. If it's too glossy you can use a magic eraser to take some of the shine off.  |

Thanks all for the support. I got the idea for mr.perfect fixup from u guy's rants about the size that mattel gave us. And i learnt how to do fixup from u guys on this site. I hoipe together we can continue to improve and motivate and learn from each other. Most tamiya paints i found are gloss. So they have fluorescent but it doesn't say fluorescent on the bottle? Tell me more about the sealer. Do u use flat sealer? Does the sealer protect the paint? Cause i have used a spray on multipurpose acrylic matt sealer before but its too mat and the paint still chips.

When I use the gloss sealer, it makes it really slick so I can't even catch my nail on it. If it's too glossy you can use a magic eraser to take some of the shine off. Thanks. Oo thats why i can't find them paint. Its because they use different names. I'll keep that in mind. i 'm not sure if The krylon and magic eraser brands are easily available in my country though, so may need to find alternatives. So if u spray the sealer, do u spray it evenly? It wont be so thick? Or does it depends on the paint type? Thanks. |
