Star Wars Action Figures / Re: My first Clone Custom (New Pics)
« on: June 6, 2005, 03:08 PM »
Yeh I used testors and about 4 different brushes on it and a glossy clear coat . Although i wont be playing with that glossy stuff anymore the testors green is perfect color i think.
 I also tried a .05 micron pen blue (not royal) on a clone today and it was done in about half the time. I would try a micron pic from michaels craft shop. if you pic one up and use it doe about 3 coats to your toy with it and do not touch it or it will smear . It washes off very easy though with water . I added a clear coat to it and it looks very nice . Infact i got a green micron pen a brown one and orange and rubs it on my finger to smear it on the legs and it looks like dirt ... pretty cool.

I saw a web site that was saying they work and it works awesome . It alsmost even looks shaded and the tip on the pin works well but requires a few coats from it. But the green cloan in these pics was just testors paint . I used a boom brissle for the black claw marks on the head and leg . All this playing around with micron pens is working out very well though i can get very very sharp lines and when i had to do it on that green cloan with a long tip paint bursh .... it took forever . I also used liquid masking tape to help me get the lines better. Liquid masking tape just rubs off with your finger when your paint has dried and it looks like glue if you have never used it.

Even that helps . The only ever thing I ever customised was that green clone commander and afew clones I have been working on with micropens. I was thinking a flat black for the Slave for the base and Aglossy gun metla for the trim around the top or front of the ship.

Hey guys
I made up my mind Im gonna do this paint job to look like a new imperial type slave I
    What I need to no is what kind of paint should I use (black and silver or gun metal grey)what brand what exact color and what clear coat brand should i use . Im going to air brush most of it im sure Im also thinking since its not the B fett slave I about making a name change (keeping the slave name involved) and putting ID on the flaps. Also what pilot I should use and maybe just make a custom pilot in a imperial uniform. I cant make up my mind but wanted to ask about your guys thoughts.

Ok I am going with an imperial paint job on it ... the flat black and grey and all that just sounds so cool to me. I was also thinking of a window design that would in some way remind me of a tie fighter but I think im gonna have to think very hard on that detail. Other then that maybe also put the ship logo on the flaps in a green color or somthing. All your guys ideas are awesome .

Thanks again for all the nice words. I really am getting into this stuff now . I was trying to figure out a good paint mix for a dusty or dirty look so i will try that brown silver and white mix out . Im gonna need to double check if thats one of the mixes in this thread but sounds good. I was thinking about throwing one of the figs in a tin filled with water and some dirt for a few days , rinse it then see how it looked (on some shoty old toy) just to see how it looks. I also got some new clear coat today. Its not as glossy so it should look alot better on the next one lol i hope. I have 10 sand troopers (clean versions) i got off ebay the other day for 10 bucks so i might test it out on one of them ... Well I am greatfull for all your comments . Anything to make a repaint better is good to hear also .

HEY WOW !  ;D Thanks alot guys good to hear I might be on the right track . As more come out im sure i will post them up on here . I admit the gloss is a lil to glossy but the picture is adding to the shine of it alot . I think im gonna try to use a less glossy clear coat next time. do any of you use actual dirt or leave stuff in the sun or out side to age the toy ? It was just sothing on my mind . well anyways thanks again I will use your advise on the one I will be doing today  ;D thanks again .
