Hey guys,
I think I'm going to try to make my first custom, but I'm not really sure exactly what to use. If someone could give a suggestion of paint brands and other molding/customizing equipment I would be forever in your debt.Plus, any tips would also be great! Thanks! :grin:

I see Testor's paint bandied about frequently, and they seem to use it at Botcon's customization classes, so I imagine it must be good. The only tips (gleaned from here) I can give you on painting are; Wash the figure in question with soap to remove any traces of mold releaser, and gently/lightly sand the toy's parts before you paint so that the coat will stick better.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you just paint with a brush, or is it best to use an airbrush? Or do you use spray paint?
