BrobotC Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 im not sure what tipe of paint it is,but if you go to your nearest micheals store,there is a brand of paint the is called craft paint,they sell it in little tubes and after about 4 coats of paint on your minimate, it will be smooth and you wont see the minimate under neath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Hill Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I really like your custom choices, The Joker is especially cool. As for the paint/sculpt "clumpiness," the paint makes a huge difference. I found that the craft store tube paints have a tendency to flake and clump. Sometimes I added a drop of water to the paints to make them coat and dry smoother. I recommend Citadel Acrylics from Games Workshop, but they are more expensive. Just remember, when it comes to minimates, smoothness is key. I look forward to seeing more customs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Harris Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Nice customs, Kastillo. As for the support and questions, there is a nice thread where the "pros" and "semi-pros" and maybe even the "soon-to-be-semi-pros" (like me) are giving advises and suggestions on a variety of questions and problems. And, in case you haven't visited the ultimate recource and guide to minimate customizing yet, you should go to luke314pi's Minimate Factory without hesitation. And I recommand to browse through the other fellow 'versers' custom threads for inspiration and pure admiration. There are some outstanding mates! By the way, welcome on board!
