Painting works?

lumhbk · 06-09-2008, 01:20 AM

Hi everyone.. Does anyone know where can i find services that provide painting works on toys? Cos i need to repaint some of my Transformers Movie Toys to add more effects/accuracy on it. Thank you.

Repaint services are very very costly... a voyager class fig could cost as much as 150 onwards. If u r loaded...this would be a good hobby to have custom painted figs...but if u r not, u r better off just leaving ur TF's as they are or learn to do it yourself... I do know one or two ticks but i lack the skills to repaint as the right type of paint is crucial and normally. Repaint artist are reluctant to share their secrets. Airbrush skill is essential as well for creating effects.

Cheers!!!

Hi New Megatronia...what sort of brand should i use if i prefer paint it by my own? i just need to paint one small part only.. Coz Hasbro carelessly forgot to paint my Ironhide's right knees...sad...

Ohh one more thing.. i would like to know where can i buy those metallic colour for the painting works?

Best option 4 u is do more online research on ppl doing repaint work... find out what kind of paint they use... go to an art supply store and ask the shop owner for recommendation... :)

Hope it helps....

No prob... it's always better to try yourself first bcoz asking ppl to do repaints for u will cost a bomb and sometimes it just doesn't come out the way we want em to be :)

I believe locally we can get mostly Tamiya or mr color stuff, correct me if i'm wrong.

Both acrylic and enamel should be ok, and depending on your preference and situation.

Need to do lots of practice, like most handy skill stuff.

I'm going to start doing a bit of custom myself :) Doing research now. Mainly will focus on weathering & battle damage.

Finally sat down and did something. First attempt in any kind of figure painting, and i decided to start with some KO figure, of course lol.

Only have 1 bottle of Black with me now (still waiting for my order to come).

What i learn: NEED MORE COLORS!! haha
