Hi guys
Hopefully, i'll be starting on some DotF customs soon like so many others here. But i've never made any customs before, so i was hoping to get your oppinions on some things first.
Now what do i need? So far i went out and got myself a couple of things. First, a hobby drill to be able to make transplanted limbs stay in place with bits of metal wire or the like. I also got a nice modeling knife and some small files for trimming stuff. And last but not least, some of the ever popular green stuff. I still need to get glue and paint, paint brushes and maybe some pincers.
So for the paint, is GW Citadel paint a good choice? It's pretty easy to come by and there are lots of colors to choose from. I'm thinking of starting out with perhaps 10 colors and then stocking up later on.
I was also wondering if the repainted minis can withstand being stored in boxes with the other ones without the paint coming off. Or do you have to coat them with something? (i'm not that fond of glossy minis so i hope there's a way around that)
Regarding the glue, does it have to be based on something particular? I have various allround and modeling glues, but they don't seem to do the job that well with minis. Any specific brands that are good? (a link would be great
)
The paint brushes, well they just have to be as small as possible or at leat very small right?
And finally, am i missing something? It would be a bummer to forget some important thing, but i can't think of anything else right now.
