Oh I forgot to mention when all the paint work is done I spray the head with dull-coat, and then I go over the eyes with a gloss coat and the mouth with semi-gloss.

I have the flesh-tones finished and the the whites of the eyes and the lining around the eyes done. Now I need to paint the pupils, eyebrows, hair, and the goatees on the RDJ heads.

These are awesome, kinda reminds me of the old horror movie "Motel Hell". The garden scene :lol:

I'm working on a lot of commissions trying to get caught back up. One of those commission projects was a repair job of grinman's awesome Black Knight custom figure I was blown away when my friend sent that to me to fix. It's a beautiful piece and I just hope that my repairs and touch ups do grinman justice. I'll take some better pictures when get some more time. Oh and instead of gluing the shoulder armor back on I added revoltech joints to male the armor parts poseable, so hopefully they won't get broken in the future.

Here are some pictures during the repairs.

Hey everyone,
I've been a little MIA for a while dealing with some outside home repairs, and while doing so the transmission in my truck went down which put the outside work on hold until that was fixed. My truck is fixed and I've been able to get into working outside now that I have my truck running again. But I'm also finally getting back into working on my customs, and I have a lot to get caught up on.

A commissioner asked me to see if I could fix the paint on his MU Captain America figure. I was a little hesitant at first with MU figures being so small for the meat hooks that I call hands, but I gave it a go to try and fix the paint on the figure's head. What do you all think? Does it look okay?

I've also started working on a couple of Face-off Caps for him with repainting the ad stripes which I'll add some pictures soon. Also on those Caps he want to see if I could replace the original elbows and pins that were cast in blue and painted white. I think I found some that should work just fine. I bought a bunch of the Target 3 packs when they were on clearance, so I have several extra Caps laying around.

Thanks :smgrin: Looking at other customizers WIP pictures is what help me learn when I first started. And I'm just glad that I was able to fix these little guys.
