Great tips John!!!!!

these paints you can find for around 79 cents

Buy yourself good brushes, and do not use hot water to clean them.

Glue I use E6000 you get that at hobby stores.

Thanks Jodi -- Folk Art and Apple Barrel are the two brands of paint I use, too!

Additional helpful tip:  My wife always puts a dab of paint from the bottle on the lid -- that way you always have a handy reference to see exactly what the color looks like when the paint is dry.  VERY helpful when trying to choose from several different shades of red or blue, for example. 

EDITED TO ADD:  You forgot the Sharpie, Jodi!  ;-)

Okay, Al -- here you go:

And a few more:

The Amazo figure started out as a Bruce Wayne figure from The Batman toy line -- slightly larger than the JLU scale, but it works great as a "big" figure like Amazo.

These were featured in CustomCon 13 a couple of years ago:

I found this paint hard to work with, it took forever to dry and always seemed to be sticky, do you have the same problem?

I just saw the Black Canary Barbie and I thought I would post this, it's a custom I did because a person wanted a Barbie Lita from the pro wrestling league former WWF.
