Hello all, I have been toying with an idea today, but I don't know how to
begin. I would like to create a series of Batman and DC comics characters out
of my spare minifigs, eventually a whole Batman universe (gads, that means
I'll have to become a Townie!). HOW does one go about painting or paint prep
work on ABS plastic? Has anyone made a set of guidelines so I can keep from
repeating the mistakes others have found? I have worked with customizing
action figures before, very little LEGO repaint work (how can I make them near
factory quality?) in my pre-teen years. I am hoping that someone may be able
to help me.
"Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope...", Princess you-know-who.
Thanks a bunch,
Aaron
