Awesome! What I recommend for a Krillin that is to scale with that Gohan is using a jakks ss Gotenks body with the head from the chara puchi Krillin in hat figure. Hey Branjita thanks for your suggestions I found on ebay two different SS Gotenks which one you're suggesting?   I couldn't find the Chara Puchi Krillin with the hat on ebay, I guess I will be opening a thread on the swap meeting section to see if there's someone willing to sale one. |

The first one seems like a really good body to me. That's what I plan to use if I decide to make Krillin in that outfit.
It's a lot smaller than your Irwin Krillin, but they made him too big. I think it's about the right size next to your Gohan.

What kind of clay are you using? Is it gray Apoxie Sculpt?
I see one bottle of Americana paint in the background but I can't read the brands in the pics on the others. How do you like it? Is it smooth or is it chalky? I usually recommend for people to stick with Delta Ceramcoat because most of their paints are smooth and high quality. Folk Art is what I use as a backup for the occasional times when DC doesn't make a specific color, but my problem with them is I have to add bottled water to them because they are all too thick. I use Testors model masters clear acryl as the final layer of paint on everything I make, but I've never used any of their colors. I do remember that Apple Barrel is a horrible brand that should never be used from my experience. I'll have to check and see if I have any Americana... I think I might have one bottle somebody gave me, but I'll have to check...

I think I might have one bottle somebody gave me, but I'll have to check... Yes, Branjita I use gray Apoxie modeling compound, I recently started to use the Americana Enamel paint actually the one I was looking for is the Delta Ceramcoat, after your recommendation for the zarbon skin I took your advice and went to the store but they doesn't work that brand there so they recommended the Americana paint instead and I have to tell you I'm in love with this paint man! because of they grand variety of colors, is smooth, dries fast and is cheap. You can see how smooth it is on the Zarbon's custom the only part I dint use Americana Enamel on that figure is on the arms and elbow I used the other brand you saw on the picture, is Testor Enamel Acrylic but when I finish the remaining bottles I won't gonna be buying it again I like the gloss they left in the Apoxie (like in kid gohan hair) but in some figures doesn't dries well and some colors create little paint bubbles like the cream you can take future gohan's skin for example. I ordered some Delta Ceramcoat paints on ebay after I get them I will compare it to the Americana Enamel and give you some feedback. |

Forgot to mention the amazing job you did getting that Vegito head into Future Gohan thanks @aussiedcfan man I have to tell you that was a little difficult to make I even cut myself a little doing it and the head fell before the Apoxie hardened and I had to redo it again, and I was like NoOoOoOo!!! :willy:but I'm satisfied with the outcome. |

Thanks Adrenaline I'm glad you like them, man I have to tell you I always had this fantasy of getting every DB character but I thought that was impossible, then i got into customizing and started to think maybe it can be done but after I saw your thread and see you making all the DB characters yourself I finally think it really can be done!!! , I'm looking forward your next works I'm curious about what and how you're going to do next!! |
