Hey everyone and welcome to another one of my custom action figure tutorials! This week we'll be taking my own step-by-step approach on painting worn battle armor and working with metallics. You can find tons of other painting/metallic tutorials out there, especially on a lot of the custom and Gundam forums I have listed on my Links page. That being said this guide covers only the specific steps and techniques I personally use, so please treat it as a set of guidelines only. The demo custom is my 6" Marvel Legends scale Fallout 3 Power Suit. You may remember I made a Sigma 6 scale one that was 8", and most of the same techniques I used there are applied to this guide. We'll be using Testors Acryl paints and Games Workshop paints for this guide. You can find them at most hobby/gaming stores or follow the links provided to purchase them online. The main paints used are Testors paints: Gunmetal, Flat Black, Flat White, Dark Gray, and clear blue. Also Games Workshop metallic paints: Mithril Silver, 'Ardcoat (their clear gloss), and Tin Bitz. TESTORS FANTASY SERIES acrylics still available at Tower Hobbies Ready to begin?       Looking to buy some custom action figures like the ones you see here? Look no further! You can find Marvel Legends, Transformers, GI Joe, DC Comics, video game characters, and other great customized toys in the links below.
