I'm new to customizing figs and I'm trying to figure out what kind of paint to use. Can anyone offer any advice? I'd like them to still be moderately playable!
Thanks! |

If you want your paint colors to match your other Joes, use Citadel hobby miniatures paint. The swatches are the same as toy manufacturers. This means you can also do touch-ups on worn Joes without mixing. Then use a spray-on acrylic sealer.
I restored a C-1 Cobra Officer with Citadel paints. You can't tell the difference, apart from the fact that he looks "really new" when standing next to the other officers in my collection. -PJ |
