Re: Cocoboloboy's Crazy Customs

Thanks voorhees and hicks. Joker is a great figure untouched but with a little fast tweaking he really shines.

More painting this weekend for those that have sculpts waiting on me. I'll have a couple Hans done pretty soon. Thanks for having patience with me guys!

Deak should have his Anakin sculpt this weekend so I'm looking forward to getting some geared up pics from him once it arrives.

Re: Cocoboloboy's Crazy Customs

I haven't finished with Luke yet but here's your Anakin...

That's the stock Sideshow sculpt? It looks great. It just goes to show how badly they screwed up the paint. The sculpts on these figures are usually solid, but things get lost in the painting process -- I think because it's done overseas and they just don't have good enough oversight in place to make sure it comes out right.

Re: Cocoboloboy's Crazy Customs

Yep, stock sculpt, and it's a good one. Anakin had one of the worst paint jobs ever and it completely screwed up the beautiful sculpt.

Hey Vic! Here's your Han. I'm going to try and get that black rub mark out of his shirt that happened during shipping and then I'll dye it.



Matt, your Han is almost done then I'll finish up your Luke.

Looks very nice. What do you use for skin tone?

Re: Cocoboloboy's Crazy Customs

Thanks! I use a mixture of three different acrylic paints, layering them in diffrent mix ratios and washes.

Thanks!

Here's a better pic. I think I'll gear him up and take a few shots before I mail him to Matt. Either that or I'll just keep him. Just kidding Matt!

Re: Cocoboloboy's Crazy Customs

Great repaint Coco. Your skin tone really is quite nice. I'm still trying to develop a formula for skin tones. It's difficult because the dried paint always has a different shade than when it is wet. It also depends on the original color of the substrate you are painting on. Sometimes, I have lucked out with a natural skin tone. But by that time, I have mixed so many colors so many times, I have lost track of how many drops I have used from each paint bottle!

Luke looks great man, I need to send you my head so I can get his hair repainted. Now if we could only fix that tunic.
