And how do you paint them so well?
I realize this may be a little more involved than just a simple answer...

Hey man please dont mess up good beasts just use parts from brocken, chewed, or sun faded beasts. Ask about on here for any spare parts going. Thanks. Jay
The certainly makes sense! I will take that to heart!

First its good to hold back broken or messed up/dicolored figs or to search for these explicitly to get the fig you want to make a custom from or out of. Using mint figures for this is a shame as their vintage value comes from their condition, don't forget we are talking about 26 year old figs here and if we mess them up its not something you can undo easily.
And when it comes to messing them up its a wise decission to get to a real custom artist of which there are indeed enough out here on the board and they can make real artifacts out of your messed up/broken figs. There are enough examples of well done and succesfull customs out here.
I currently have a little custom army in progress in which my ideas become reality with the help of one of those artists, which they are in my opinion as its pretty hard to get a detailled paintjob done on these little guys.
But of course its also something you can learn yourself if you'd take the time for it and have a little talent
I'd say give it a try if you find some messed up figs and ask around for materials paint etc. to use in the custom part of the board as I'm sure all artists out there are more than willing to give you some information about what's best to use.

You guys would hate me then because I used mint figures back in the day. That was when they were really cheap, now they are not so much. LOL

I've ordered myself some cheap, tatty looking Beasts with customs in mind; I'll post pics once I have anything worth sharing...
