Time to raise your prices, my friend!

PLEASE GOD NO!!!! I have so much that need your expert hand....

 

[Darth Caedus]

nice repaint DA, how much to do mine?

 

[todoelresto]

Fortunately I could remove the glasses from the head without wreak it.
Unfortunately there was a brown paint dot on the nose.
To anyone who made those excellent repaints; please can you recommend a good brand of paints and a code colour to correct this dot? I want the best paint for this. I don't want to ruin this figure. Thanks for your help guys.

Try a rub some fingernail polish on it very very very lightly.

I'd have to agree with EF here... just be super super careful because it will ruin the paint if you aren't. Matching factory tones isn't an easy task, but it can be done. I use Model Master Acryl, mixing the two tones... Warm Skin Tone and Base Skin Tone in various shades to achieve the desired effect. So with him I would use a mix of those two, more heavy on the Warm tone. Once you have that mixed in your palatte, water it down just a tad until it's nice and thin. Brush that on with a very small round brush and then blend the edges until it looks natural. It works wonders.

Hope that helped.

And conger... PM me man... My rates are pretty cheap...

Thanks, I tried that but the paint is into a little notch on the nose. I need to cover it.

Thanks for the info DarkArtist81. I'll try to do my best.
I'd like to ask you to do that and also do a repaint of my HTSuperman head, but the shipping rates on my country are not cheap
Thanks again.

Josh, could we see a close up pic like this one of your repainted Superman?

Sure! It will have to be late this weekend as I am moving... But I can certainly do that for you.

And todoelresto, I too wish I could paint those for you.... Maybe shipping wouldn't be too much for a tiny tiny package with just the heads? Not sure, never did business with anyone in Uraguay before...

But I would love to if the chance occured.

Hehehe, I have to say that it is not Uraguay, it's "Uruguay" and instead of Homer deduction, Uruguay means "River of the painted birds". But I have to say that Homer meaning is much funny It's an honor to be on that TV show, even as a part of the joke, that's much better!!!
and talking about "painted birds", I think it's time for a Superman's head repaint.

You'll be happy with him, I was really blown away when I finally saw mine in person!

 

[Seth Gecko]

Yeah can't stop lookin at the gallery.

 

[EVILFACE]

He is a kewl fig. Nice taylored and detailed suit.

 

[Seth Gecko]

my HT Superman is in the USA :chew SOOOOON! It will be home

 

[IrishJedi]

I agree with the consensus. Such a terrific figure.

Now, just to have Josh repaint the head and I will have the perfect Brandon Routh Supes figure to go along with the equally awesome HT Clark Kent.
