Thanks bro, so I just use a combination of different acrylic paints, usually consisting of a base of a store bought 'skin tone' and different browns and oranges mixed in to achieve a tan skin tone. Yes, they are fully sealed with all original Elite articulation still in tact I'm a bit incredulous. It's easy to make a figure look pretty with paint, but very hard to make one durable and scratch-resistant, especially with acrylic. Could I scrape off that paint with my fingernail, or would it scuff up a white ring cloth or another figure if clashed? Can you explain your sealing process? Understood, so this is my routine for painting a figure, beginning to end. I spray figure to prep surfaces after sanding down joints to prevent paint from chipping off and scratching while moving parts or posing with this: Now, after surface is covered with base tack coat of primer, the figure is then painted, head to toe with acrylic paint. Don't get crazy with this shit, paint is paint in most cases. I buy whatever is on sale in which ever color I need whether it needs to be mixed or it's a staple paint like black or white in which I don't finish a figure without the use of. So, we've covered our fig in primer and it's been prepped for paint, we laid down some paint and the fig is ready to be sealed. I then spray with this: After this has been sprayed, the figure will achieve a semi-gloss look, much like the figures we buy from Mattel and Jakks. The difference being, obviously, if you were to try and scratch the figure with a blade or something sharp like a finger nail, eventually you would get through and chip away some of the paint as my parts have not been dyed to fit the color achieved. It will not scuff up any ring canvas' that you might play on, but like all customizes that produced figs with complete repaints, I would advise you to play at your own risk. Hope I helped.

If you ever sell that Rhino, please let me know, he is amazing, as is Raven.

I like the Rhino legs, and the paint job is nice and crisp. But I'm not sure the body captures his stalky stature that well. And I'm not a huge fan of that head. I'm working on my own Rhino and should have pics up soon.

Those are really solid. Love your basic tutorial above too. Any chance you can give us a step by step through the process?

The Lynn and Tajiri WIPs are looking really promising, but the finished figures are incredbile! Raven, Franchise, and Taz are always my favorites to see done and you've done them well! Which head and hair did you use for Raven and Shane? I wanna use those heads for some of my minifigs although I don't think I'll be able to recreate their bodies in mini size as well as you have with Mattel. Really cool to see such a good Corino as well. Plus, you've made a good roster of guys so far! Can't wait to see more Are any of these figures ones you're likely to make? I'd love to see any Mattel ECW girls like Beulah or Francine for sure and ,for the guys, it'd be cool to see Eliminators, old school Sandman, Cactus, Stevie, Jason, Brian Lee, and the list goes on. Always love seeing ECW customs done so well.

So unfortunately I'm not so much into customizing divas, so no ECW girls anytime soon. I am however working on an Elite Spike, the Dudley Boyz, 2 Sandman figs and Lance Storm right now. Also, I sent you a PM

Dont come here often but wow!
Gunna say I was looking through thinking "these look good", but the big kicker for me is the simple Lynn tights you made, stylising the crotch area so they look like the style of sort of crinkly tights he wore is bloody amazing man. Super awesome work on these!
Just looking at the Corino though and the boots look modified obviously to fit but do you substitute any movement in the limbs so things fit properly?
