I've tried to use waterbased latex paint, oil based, etc. and none of it ever goes on right and stays like the official stuff.

BTW, I haven't played around with custom stuff for over ten years but seeing those kits is really tempting to attempt it again. The moulds look great.

We do cast in a base flesh color that matches closely the copperhead arms or in the case of the fridge, a proper brown. While nothingis as good as Hasbro factory paint, Ive found that Tamiya spray paints work incredibly well and Autopaint is incredibly durable. MJC used it to paint sarges hair and it doesnt chip or anything.

Oh yeah, cool. Tamiya was what I was trying to remember. I used to use those with an airbrush back in the day when I put together and painted 1/6 scale vinyl kits.

I'll have to hit my local hobby store and pick some up again. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Great news, can't wait

If you guys created color matched/painted unique heads for certain characters who have had non-unique heads so far (Grand Slam, Grunt, Slip-Stream, Cutter, etc.), and sculpted them without the exagerated expressions to more closely match the rest of the line, I bet you'd do a lot of business.

Similar to your Bazooka head, which IMO is pretty great and is much preferred to the H released version.

ya ya i know....
some of you guys like it plane and simple (just the every day joe at the base day)

and then some like a littel more action...(like bombes going off in my face and vipers and bats exploding all over the place action)

i personally like action ...
but like you have seen i do both
im glad you like my work
thanks
