Excellent work. You have a very deft hand. Acrylics are all about layers. Unless dry brushing, it usually takes more than one coat. Also, adding a little water to the paint when doing fine line work will thin the paint enough to get those nice smooth lines. Awesome job.
you have to prep the figure. use warm soap and water to clean all the factory finish off the figure so the paint will adhere. you have to use a finisher paint as well. Use a heat gun or a hair dryer or put the figure in boiling water to remove joints
I definitely appreciate the comments! Thank you as I am still learning and going to venture in trying another. I will be kitbashing so I will want to make sure I don't damage the figure.
since its acrylic .. you can wash-up / wash off the mistakes with water easy peasy .. the problem with that is that too much posing / playing with it will rub off all your work without some kind of sealant ..
If ur on hisstank I posted them ( *CHESTswapped COBRA OFFICERS* then since the NECKS and shoulder pins were different i cemented the TOMY XAM necks to the torso , and left the shoulders to look like sigma 6 arms . *it was good enough for me* the only other mod I did was repaint the chariot colorshift green and added LEDs to it 😍 (utube )
You just graduated to a professional, looks damn good. I was going to do the red also before I watched your video but I'm going to do the rest now thanks for the idea and great tutorial. 👍
Good job &Just incase you did not know.the dollar tree sells packs of great smaller brushes. i do amateur figure modifications sometimes and dios,they work perfectly.
Excellant work Art, you explained every step perfectly. I hope to be able to find a couple of these one day in Australia & if I do I will definatly do this custom, it really pop's mate. Cheers👍🏻🍻
Amateur hour my ass, amazing work buddy, simple, subtle, easy to do, and very well executed, most beginners just cake on layers of paint, it looks very cheap, but this is great!
I would not use that apple barrel paint. its not made for plastics. try hobby lobby for paints or angelus paints. they dont chip. any questions hit me up so i can help you out using the right stuff
What a great video Art! Thank you for doing that. It’s AMAZING how much better you made Major Bludd look compared to what we got...a great figure from Hasbro that looks WAYYYYY better! 👏🏻👏🏻 @Hasbro should redeco him just like yours. Great job buddy! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great work but always wash the figure first with hot water and dish soap. Why? Cause making these in the factory it adds oil and other stuff. I did hundreds of customs from over 15 years ago none chip ever. This why people have great paint application but it comes off easy. Also get krylon indoor matte sealer do a few super light sprays do no spray close and dont glob it do fast quick left to right sprays. You wont even know it was done no gloss. Then let dry for a few days then enjoy dropping it and no chips only dents if anything no paint comes off. Joints is a whole different story but can be done with some work. I got real good with sealing my joints never scrape off. Experience with trial and error back when i started there was no youtube lol
If your talking about joints by itself, you would have to take it all fully apart and then seal it after you paint. Test for rubbing and chipping. Then put back together.
I have a quick question not sure if you can answer it, just got a baroness and really wanna add some details but not sure if I can just use paint right on the soft parts of the belt. I tried painting a McFarlane Warhammer figure and it went well up until my spray can primer didn't stick to the soft parts like the cape so I want to avoid that.
@@ArtGcollection I am too my friend lol. Right by the paint your buying in Walmart is a acrylic sealant, like 5.99 in Matte or gloss. Comes in a spray paint style can. Trust me works wonders. Alleens matte finish is in my eye sight but there are Teflon ones all kinds. Try it, great job.
You won’t find them in retail stores anymore. Maybe at local comic/toy shops. Not sure who may sell them at a good price online but it’s good to surf the internet retailers to find out
A huge improvement bro. Makes this figure even cooler. Very nice work
Appreciate it!!! Thank you!!
Looks great. I love the change in color from black to metal.

Excellent job man I'm very new at doing this myself
Appreciate it!! as long as we have fun with it...it is always a great time to do something like this

@@ArtGcollection you wont damage the figure, that A.B. paint you used comes up fairly easily with soap and water and a good scrub.

True….I wasn’t sure on the sealant to use but I will be careful. It’s just fun to do sometimes.
Thanks man I’m gonna repaint TOMMY AND XAMOT actual crimson with your technique
appreciate you watching...i hope you tried it and it went well

And accented SERPENTORs snakes ( everyone but the shoulder snake heads ) with candy apple WICKED COLORS …. It popped

Everybody else's missiles fall off the backpack too?
All the time!
How do you keep the paint from chipping off when you move him or pose him especially on the knees and elbos
If your talking about joints by itself, you would have to take it all fully apart and then seal it after you paint. Test for rubbing and chipping. Then put back together.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Outstanding work What Brand of paint and Brushes you
all cheap stuff....apple barrel paint from walmart and brushes probably from dollar tree

I would wash with soap, then apply a primer. Then you can paint it. Then you can probably seal it after it's complete
@@ArtGcollection Thank you so much for the fast response!!! I appreciate it a lot and will try it.
Did you use a paint sealer at the end? I was watching in the background and I didn’t hear you mention that.
I did not. I'm still learning since I'm an amateur.

Yo can you find another major blood?or any one selling one??thanks
You won’t find them in retail stores anymore. Maybe at local comic/toy shops. Not sure who may sell them at a good price online but it’s good to surf the internet retailers to find out
