Alright, what's not spoken for already is available for purchase. Repaints are set t $25 each, first come first serve.

As a Christmas bonus FREE SHIPPING within continental U.S. on all my lrg sales and this will be available for awhile now! Bought from me before and feel cheated 'cause you paid shipping???? Return customers get buy 2 get 1 free on any same priced items!!!!!


Soooooooo.... when I started here, I was just doing some M.U.S.C.L.E. customs. Actually I started out showcasing some of my other toy line customs kinda prepping for the unveiling of the M.U.S.C.L.E. paints. Immediately I was getting responses, mostly asking if I was doing any Battle Beasts. I didn't own a single one soooooo someone here was kind enough to send me a handful so I no longer had any excuses right? Well almost none, still got 4 kids a wife a 9 - 5 and my commission work. Alright so here ya go! This is the first rattle outta the box!

I figured a cat, even a large one is still a stealth beast right? Well kinda anyways. So I would gather that his armor would have to be a stealth armor right?

That armor is a nice clear blue over some nice reflective paint with clear green accents. Same stuff I used on my Stealth Iron Man!

Well I hope you enjoy, and after that someone gets back the figures that he wants back maybe the remainder (if there are any right) would be offered up to you guys.

If you're interested in the custom M.U.S.C.L.E.s check here: http://www.littlerub...showtopic=23338
That's where I've been posting those guys for $15 each.

I believe Keanu Reeves put it best when he said:

[jkaris]

That figure is one of the ugliest/crappiest BattleBeasts there is, and you worked a miracle in making it look kewl!

I can't wait to see what you do with the kewl BB sculpts!

[Articulationnut]

I like the paint application to the Tiger itself. It actually has all of the features that a cat would have . Impressive .

A little paint and some skill goes a long way

Thanks!

If we're still on I have your stuff almost finished.... the one in this thread was actually a test of the color scheme you described to me. If that works I can finish it up with the nose ring and what not. PM me and let me know if we're still on and I can send updates through your email.

Thanks everyone the encouragement lets me know if I'm on the right track!

Check here for deals!

[imperfecz]

Alright these guys were sent to me in not so great condition and I think I might have improved on them slightly so thought I would post them here....
Alright that may have come across wrong. I was sent a very generous gift of a big ol pile of MIMP! These figures were in great shape aside from some discoloration. The thought was that I would enjoy painting these guys, and well yeah they're a blast.

MIMP Repaints are $15 each, and open to all!

[jkaris]

Awesome, bro! I generally don't care for MIMP and you made them look kick ass!

[THEGODBEAST]

I LOVE your metallic/reflective paints! You blended them AWESOME!!!

I agree w/ Jkaris...those MIMP look sooooooooo much kewler painted!

Keep up the great customs!

[imperfecz]

Thanks guys!

I forgot to mention earlier that some of these guys have Glow in the dark features.... I listed them now.

[Liz Sherman]

That panther is kick ass!!

[musclemenkids]

those are great!! I love the Jotun Troll he is mega - is it easy to apply the paint to mimp? is it any different from painting a muscle for example?

[imperfecz]

Thanks for all the great comments and what nots!

Well these worked pretty much the same with the materials I use. I always start out with Tamiya Flat Black airbrushed on nice and thin. I follow up with drybrushing white and from there to brushing with mostly flat acrylic paints of varying types for different effects.

I did read some tips on painting MIMP from a Games Workshop miniature type painter who said it is necessary to first cote the figure in PVA glue. Unfortunately I read this after I had completed my steps 1&2. Fortunately my method seemed to work just fine. Hopefully I can get my hands on some of that PVA glue before starting another round of these guys.

Thanks again everyone!

Those webpages you refer to are exclusively about painting "Generation-2" figures, which are made of a much harder plastic than the soft "Generation-1" figures which you're painting.
Do you think that this makes any difference regarding which types of glue and paints to use?

Well I think they were just making it a more solid paint base, and easier to paint.

[grimerslimer]

very kewl! I love the metallic armor, and really like that you paint up some of the less popular figs!

Man, I am SO far behind on the customs it's sick. I used to have a collection of pics of all of the customs but now it's way out of date.


I actually wanted to do all of the gen 1 MIMP figs before I dropped off of the face of the earth.
