Hey guys i need some help again on my project, as you can see my figure's paint looks good, but it's not that good. i seem have some problems with the paint on the leg joints, everytime i lift one leg to make an action pose the ball of the joint always scratch the paint off and i always end up repainting that part again. so what do you think i should do? This is a commom problem you're not alone and there's a couple of methods. One is to lightly sand down the Joint areas that will rub to free up space between both pieces before painting. Second,and this is the one i use,is to apply the Paint in thinned down layers.Just dip your Brush in Water to slightly dampen the bristles thus thinning the Paint.Takes longer and you need more Coats but it's really effective. And third has already been mentioned,i have heard of people using Glue to cover these areas many times.Don't think much about that idea myself but it seems to work according to others if done carefully. Hope that helps you.

thanks guys for the help, i tried the glue tirck, but the legs still scratch the paint off. after about three coats back and forth of gluing and painting, the paint still gets scratch off; though the joint does become more to the color i wanted. maybe because i added so much glue and paint that the color sticks to the joint. so i like the way it looks for now. anyways, i just finish sculpting my batman head, so im going to paint today and post pics tomarrow. stay tune...

Really nice work mate, lovin some of the new stuff! Being able to do custom figures is so cool but it's too fiddly for me. I mess it up completly and end up ruining some good things, that and I mess up everything and anger everyone around me! LOL

ok here is the lastest pics of the 10" batman: front:side:front 2:ok now as i said in my last post here is the latest on my other batman figure, as of now the 6" New Batman (the first i started) is temporarily finish. i check the toywiz site to see what happen to my coats for my figures and the date change from July to September, so i have to wait another month. so because of that delay i went to plan B, plan b is just give batman a cloth coat instead of a rubber coat. i had this idea for a while because i wnated to make a diorama of batman sitting in his command chair of the Enterprise X2 during his years on the Justice Team, so i thought that since its going to be hard to make him sit with the rubber coat, then i would make a cloth so it would be easier. i did this because i wanted to enter both my figures in for custom con this year and ever since i heard and saw custom con i always wanted to enter in. thats why i started to do these customs. now that you know how i am doing i will be posting pics of the half finish figure and from there i am going to entering my figure for custom con. as for the 10" figure im almost done with the head so i should have it painted this weekend and have pics of the finish figure my next week. in the mean time enjoy these pics and of course give some feedback.

hey guys i finally finish my New Batman action figure and i got to say im proud. here is one of three showcases of the 6.5" figure which i call New Batman Series 1: Deluxe Ultimate Batman Set.BATMAN:Batman: four years ago a young man named Luis went into a store to pick up some groceries for his mom, at the store everything was normal till a man in a mask pulled gun and try to rob the store. Luis saw what was going on and wanted to do something about it, he is a fan of batman and remembered what batman would have done. he got up and try to take on the robber; however he was no match for the robber and he fell to the floor. the robber took the money and walked away, but before he left he left a little gift to remember him by. he began to shoot the store then ran, after the smoke cleard everyone and Luis was glad to alive but not everyone made it, a cleark from the store was badly shot and bleeding. after about an minute trying to get help the man died. Luis blames himself for what happen and from them on he made a vow to rid the city from evil like the robber and became BATMAN. Batman come with 27 points of articulation and accessories. More pics: Man i look good! New Batman products 2004-2006 thats alot of batmans All in the Bat-Family: well that's all for today and i hope you like the pics. stay tune for the second showcase: Luis. :cool:
