one trick I use for painting yellow is I paint the areas silver first, silver covers any dark color with 1 coat and is a nice light/bright base for yellow.

one of my favorites too, great job, with that much detailing sculpey must have been difficult to work with.

Looks great but the flamethrower looks a little too big but it’s just my opinion. But still overall a great looking custom.

I never thought some one would even attempt this with all the detail it would need. Great job.

Thanks for the blow drying tip.

Yeah the blow drying thing really works and it's fast. Depending on what it is, the method works. If your doing a Joe it should only take around five minutes to harden. This figure took me a really long time, with the sculpting and the painting. Blowtorch is a lot of effort.

Nice, nice. I like your colors better. The original's were too light.
