This is my first custom and maybe only custom, so I want to do it right. I am looking to put a shirt on the new 2 pack Storm shadow and I was wondering if any of the customizing experts here had any suggestions for paint to use. Preferably a paint that can be found easily. I planning on posing and playing with the figure, so it needs to be a paint that wont rub off easily.
Any help would be appreciated, post, pm, or IM me you suggestions. if this works out I might be customizing a few mandalorians I have laying around. |

use acrylic paint...NOT ENAMALS!!!...they never dry fully...your local hobbie shop should carry either Testers Model masters acrylic paint or Tamiya...both work great...when you paint the joints, thin the paint out a little...or, like some do, shave the joints a bit, OR, don't move him after you paint him, hahaha...
