They both look really good! I'm very pleased with them. I think I'll refine the collar tears on Goku a little bit, I have a vision for how I want them to look so I think you're done with them! King Piccolo looks ready to paint! I think I'll need to add long finger nails though to that one hand. I can do that, as it is a process that I am familiar with. Now to see Tao and Cacao over the next few weeks/months  |

Cool. Yeah I assume epoxy is better for the nails which I don't have. I forgot about Cacao lol I am up to 11 hours and Tao is about half done, so I should be able to fit him in too while I make my own.

Cacao is going to be so easy. As far as fully customized figures go, I bet the sculpt takes less time than any other figure you've ever made lol. The paint job will take forever though.  |

There isn't a Krylon Fusion For Plastics paint that is silver either. So there aren't any shortcuts. Please leave him so I can pop him open to paint his arms, so don't sculpt him shut.  Edit: never mind, they do make a silver that works on plastic. This kind would make him look chrome supposedly. www.krylon.com/products/premium-metallic/ Sounds interesting. Could you get this? Here's what it actually looks like in use. thecraftingchicks.com/2012/10/silver-pottery-barn-style-pumpkins.html I'm surprised it actually looks shiny like chrome almost. Most metallics just look like car paint. A person on a forum for Star Trek says he used this and said not to clear coat it or it will dull the paint.  I've used this before, it's the cheapest, and it was ok... but I used it on wood. www.krylon.com/products/general-purpose-metallic/ It looks like somewhere in between silver metallic and chrome. This is what this kind looks like. www.thescrapshoppeblog.com/2011/11/pumpkin-roundup.htmlThere's another type, unless it's the same as above, and as you can see, it isn't any better than us using Delta Ceramcoat silver. It's basically metallic gray. I am pretty sure that type is NOT for plastic purposes. Don't spray any silver on plastic that isn't made for plastic, or it will never ever ever dry  www.houseofhepworths.com/2010/11/30/novelty-nutcrackers-dollar-store-style/If you spray them, don't worry about masking the face or arms, but please don't sculpt the figure shut. Take the arms out and at least put some masking tape over the shoulder joint. I don't mind painting over the silver on the skin, but I don't want to have to paint him if he is sculpted/glued shut and don't want to have to scrape the paint off the joint. |

I think I will just sculpt him. Let you paint your own. I'm not sure which route I'll go for painting him. I'm not sure if he should be the same as Metal Cooler or not and I haven't made him yet either.

Hmm, I wonder if I want my metal cooler to be chrome as well... I suppose I do. But I didn't plan on making him for several years. I guess I'll have to move him up in priority. I suppose I'll try spray painting both, because I do think he'll look better chrome instead of metallic silver.

Here is an update on Bran's Tao. Just got to sand the robe and arms. I already showed the face to Bran, as I resculpted his nose and eyes, so it isn't pictured here. Will be when I post the final sculpt.  Then here is my Cacao. Just need to sculpt the head/neck, as well as his metal underwear piece, and then sand everything.   |

Tao looks like a beast. Cacao looks like he's coming along and will be fantastic when completed!

I haven't touched Cacao, since I completed all of Branjita's custom work instead. I have some pending customs on my table right now like Chilled, Borgos, Banan, and one other. Can you guess who this will be?  |

Cacao is looking great so far. As for that new one... is it...  |

Good job, sir. Chin Taiken. After some shoulder-broadening, ankle-shortening, and face-sculpting, he should be a pretty easy custom.
