I believe Cybertron Thunderblast would be a good candidate, but I don't own her, and I don't want to spring ~$70 just to have her head.

I don't have either in-hand for size comparison, but Airachnid would be a good candidate. Cheap too. And perhaps try shapeways?

Nemesis Maximo wrote:Crimson, for a good figure to practice on, I would reccomend getting the new Bumblebee/Nightbeat/Goldbug figure. He's relatively inexpensive, and very east to take apart and get around cracks. Just any idea. Also, here are some links that may come in handy:

Those were really helpful links, I got the stupid backpack off AoE leader Prime!

Finding figures ... not trusting E-Bay is fine. But, short of driving around Saturday morning checking out garage sales it's the best place to pick up junkers.
And that's what you should start on. Junkers. Don't go into K-Mart or Big W when they have a sale on (because they're still over-priced), grab a junker or two and practice on them.
And E-Bay is handy for that. If you're worried about payment, you can easily set up a Paypal account, get your mum to do that for you, have her link it to an account that doesn't have much money in it. In fact, you could get her to set up an account for you primarily for Paypal, so when you're going to buy something off E-Bay, transfer the money into that account.
If you need to pay by credit card, pre-paid Visa debit cards. Most banks have them and again, they draw from a set account. Alternatively, duck into Australia Post and grab one of theirs. You transfer however much to it (clears at midnight) and you can use it as a credit card but can't overdraw.

Fenrir, I'd say hand paint the head. Spray paint can have trouble getting into the cracks and crevices of somethin like a head. Not to mention you'd want to mask off the face to keep it a separate color.
If you really want to use that specific color you bought, spray it into a dimpled paint tray, and use it like a small jar of model paint.

I just washed my figures with dishwater soap and warm water, scrubbed a bit with a toothbrush, which is supposed to eliminate the mold release which helps the paint stick better. So do I use the sandpaper to sand it all over to help the paint stick? And do I peel off the paint as I sand? Tried to find a guide about it but couldn't, so I feel like an idiot.

Thanks
