I have never painted before but I got a legacy skids and I really wanted to add some paint attachments to the tail lights and some details on the back since the figure lacks color in the back portion of his vehicle mode, which sucks because the front of his vehicle mode is of course painted nicely already. Seeing someone else do it and explain how they do it is very helpful for me while I try to somewhat plan out how to do so. It also helps for if I want to add more paint attachments to the figure. He may be my only one figure I have, but I still wanna try it. Gotta figure out which red to paint the taillights, and see if I have any silver available, but if not I’ll stick to the taillights.

Also for me I prefer firmer brushes for acrylic paints, some viewers should try these also. In addition well done and I look forward to your future videos. Maybe you could also do some repair type vids as those will be most helpful to new customizes and repairers. All the bots I grabbed really cheap broke with the broken parts were quite easy to fix with MEK among other concoctions, then either sold or added to my collection.

So after you paint the figure as a whole, how exactly does it get that gloss finish? I’m painting my Studio Series Devastator and while I was painting Scavenger, the red and white paint has dried, but looks mattle and flat. Plus it seems like one wrong nail scratch and the paint feels like it’s gonna scratch off. It doesn’t feel smooth like the factory paint. Is there something I’m missing like a clear coat or primer finish? Again if it’s just a finish could you please tell me which one to get?

Temp thanks for watching! For a project as big as Primes trailer, you wouldn’t want to hand paint it. The larger surface area would be much better suited to spray painting. That’s a bit more complicated, since you’d need to mask the areas you don’t want painted, but you’d end up with better looking results. Hand painting would work better for smaller details and accents on the trailer.

I have experimented with Tamiya paints, in my experience, Tamiya acrylics could become more durable if you do use the Tamiya Acrylic X-20 thinner. Next more durable is the Tamiya Lacquer paints, and in my tests, Tamiya enamels are the most durable, but at the expense of odors, specially if you use airbrushes, and cures quite slow. but your fingernail cant rip it off specially if the plastic was cleaned really well and roughened a bit.

@IaconDispatch
@IaconDispatch 4 жыл бұрын
In the custom painting I have done so far, I haven’t used a primer. I mostly just try to make sure the plastic is clean and free of dirt or residue, and sometimes I will sand some parts before painting if they will rub against each other to try and reduce scratching of the paint as the parts move. Otherwise, I just apply the paint directly to the plastic. Many customizers prefer to use primer, as it will definitely give a better surface for the paint to stick to. At the end of the day, if you want the absolute best possible finish, I’d say a primer is a good idea. If you’re a more casual customizer, I’d say you can safely work without it and still get a good result. Thanks for watching! 👍🏼

T vdB hi there, and thanks for watching! For your questions, 1 - I really can’t speak much to airbrushing as I’ve never done it personally. I’m sure there are helpful tutorial videos that can give you more info on it. 2 - to repaint one vibrant color in to another (ex: yellow plastic with red paint) you most definitely need to gently sand the figure (a bit more in places that will rub during movement or transformation) and then use a primer before doing the final color. You would also want to thin the paint a bit as well to get a smoother finish, as a thicker paint will definitely show the brush strokes more visibly. This is definitely a more advanced process than what I’ve shown here in this video, so be sure to do some more research before you get started. I’d hate to hear that you didn’t have a good experience with your customization project. Hope this helps!

@IaconDispatch

Yes, all my customs are still fully transformable, although I try to be very careful when changing them, and I don’t do it very often. Sometimes you do need to sand down some spots before painting to make sure the rubbing is minimized during transformation, which helps protect the paint and avoid chips or scratches. I don’t usually prime my customs, but it definitely helps the paint stick better and give a better overall result. Many customizers choose to prime their figures before painting for that reason.

and that’s on periodt yes, all the figures I’ve painted are still fully transformable. However, one of the things you need to be aware of is where the plastic and paint may rub together when you change from one mode to another. It can scrape or chip from the friction. Sometimes it’s best to sand down the areas that touch a little bit before painting to reduce the chance that the paint will rub on those spots. It’s a bit more of an advanced customization process, but if you intend to transform them often, it’s worth doing. Thanks for watching!

Lord Megatron what kind of paint did you use? I don’t know of any acrylic model paints that would still be sticky after 10+ hrs of drying. For loosening the joints, you could take them apart and use a fine sandpaper to reduce the material that is rubbing, but do this very carefully. Remember you can always take more off if needed, but once it’s gone it can be more difficult to tighten the joint back up again if it ends up too loose.

Is there a way to change the head?
@IaconDispatch
@IaconDispatch 4 жыл бұрын
Soviet Spartan lots of figures use the same size ball joint for mounting the head on. In many cases it’s simply a matter of popping one off and popping another one on. You could easily take the head off another deluxe-size figure and put it on another. Try playing around with different looks to see if you can find a combo that you like. 👍🏼

Good video....definitely glad I found it. Been looking into doing my own customizations & read sanding the figure prior to painting helps the paint stick better and noticed you didn't sand the chest piece prior to painting..... any reason why?

Do you prep the figure? Sand, wash? Great content!
@IaconDispatch
@IaconDispatch 5 жыл бұрын
illetrop79 prepping is very dependent on the figure and what you want to do. If it’s a complex figure, you’ll need to sand all the parts that rub against each other during transformation to help avoid chipping and wear. Most simple figures don’t need to do much. It’s really a trial and error thing, start on a fig that isn’t very valuable to you and practice. That’s the best advice I can give.

@IaconDispatch
@IaconDispatch 4 жыл бұрын
Doom fry for a full-figure repaint, you need to do some more disassembly and light sanding of areas where the plastic rubs during transformation in order to avoid chipping and scratching of the new paint. Also, to speed up the process, many customizers use spray cans of model paints for the base layer, or airbrushes to get smoother, better looking results. Thanks for watching!

46chambersoflife I have a Shockwave, the DOTM voyager figure, but have only made minor paint touch ups to add dark metallic gray and cover up the pale purple plastic that was on his hands and some other parts. It’s not a very drastic change, but it looks ok.
