Thanks! I often think do I need to throw in some jokes or something but it's just not me. 😀 Thanks for watching!

Just wanted to let you know I discovered your channel yesterday and I love it. I'm into lots of things scale and buildable. I started with scale cars, but became disillusioned because of my skill level. I'm starting over again, and finding the love of just creating and have discovered Final Faction toys. It was upon this, that I found you, and had to let you know how welcome your approach is. I see and make use of so many videos out there, but you are right at my level with everything and I am so, so appreciative. Thank you.

That came out great, it has a bounty hunter vibe.

Funny timing. We just got home from service this morning. On the way home we stopped at Wendy's for burgers & I was sitting there in the drive thru telling my family that I need to go to Dollar Tree because they have the Final Faction action figures. My wife me to go, but I opted not to because we were in a hurry. Now I get home to sit down, eat, & watch your video. I should have gone. LOL You did an amazing job of showing how you did this at my level of ability to understand. I have some ideas that I'd like to work on & I'll be taking a staycation the 4th of July week. Looks like you may have directed me towards a project or 2. LOL Thanks for this awesome video!!!

@@DRToysCreations they actually suck for washes, but if they're thinned to a heavy cream like consistency they'll leave a nice smooth surface finish that's perfect for brush painting.

Amazing work! I'm definitely going to give this a try. When you're painting the figure, does it work better to seal the paint first and then apply the black wash? or do you add a wash, then seal?

@DRToysCreations

Жыл бұрын

Awesome, I kinda go back and forth on that. if you seal it with a gloss sometime the wash will just bead up but if you dont seal it will definitely absorb more of the wash over all. I have had better luck with a matte or satin clear coat. The nice part about a clear coat is you can take the scruby side of an old sponge and remove most of the wash without destroying your paint job.

What paint would you use if kids were going to play with these? Same stuff, or would it rub off easily?

@DRToysCreations

The enamel spray paint is pretty tough but if you add a clear coat over it that will give it that one extra layer of protection.

So I typically use just a rattle can Rustolium from Home Depot or Lowe’s. I know they are some nicer name brand model kits sprays but they are just too expensive for me. The finish just depends on the look I’m going for. Sometimes if building like a robot I may want it to be grungy and rusty so I would do a matte finish but if the bot is newer I may want it to be shiny so I’ll use a gloss. Many times the piece will give you that vibe of what it should be and you just gotta trust your gut.
