Well I hope you enjoy. Check out all the tutorials on the Realm while you're at it, you'll find a lot of in depth information on different subjects. I'll try to answer any questions you can't find as well. Last thing, practice your paints on a dummy figure before trying it on the actual custom. It'll save you a lot of headache and mess.

I use Testor's acrylic paints myself. More specifically I use Testor's Model Master Skin Tone Tint Base and Skin Tone Warm to start. Experiment with adding other colors to those two to get the shade you're looking for. Just make sure they're all Testor paints. I've found that trying to mix different brands of paints doesn't work well together.

Not that I've been able to find. Are you planning to mod a male or female torso?

Yes, but you'll have to do some modding. the way the ball joints attach to the torso are shaped differently. It's not just heat and plug in.

Yes. I use whatever I can find that actually works. Customizing is all about trial and error until you get it right!

Figure Heights in Custom Workstation by 9r1441n

Sunday, February 9, 2020

Is there a database somewhere that lists the heights of action figures?
I'm working on some customs right in between 5.5" and 6" and thought I'd be safe with anything listed as 6" scale, but a lot of these figures are stretching closer to 7". It doesn't sound like much, but it's really noticeable when you started with a doll just shy of 6".
I don't have a specific line in mind (I started with superheroes but am now looking at WWE females) so any info is greatly appreciated....[See More]

Saturday, March 21, 2020

Nothing I'm currently aware of, unfortunately. It can get rather frustrating when basically any figure between 5" to 7" is listed as 6", been a few times I've run across a "6 in" figure online which had just the parts I wanted for a custom, only for it to be either too small or too big for what I was working on.

Painting joints. in Custom Workstation by Spindlejack

Friday, February 21, 2020

Hi everyone. I’ve been doing a bunch of repaints and I’m pretty happy with my paint jobs but every figure seems to have one or two joints where the paint rubs off. Not sure if a coat of sealant would help or if the joint would just rub that off too. 😢😥 Any input would be appreciated....[See More]
