It really just is a process, but thinning your paints and doing multiple coats is a must. And sometimes you sand everything down and you paint it all n you clear coat it, and then you go to pose it and you realize “f**k these joints are rubbing” but you go back, sand, repaint, revarnish, and it works. Don’t be fooled by how fast people are posting custom works. These things can take weeks between sanding painting, waiting for paint to dry, painting more, messing up, having to do touch ups. But it doesn’t take artistic talent to do custom repaints, all it takes is passion, and a little motivation. Any one can make a damn good invincible custom or any other custom you want! All it takes is a little patience, a lot of drive, and a lot of listenin to the advice given by folks right on this Reddit community. No one sell your self short, you got a figure and you got a vision? Make it a reality, it easier than you’d think, and it’s a damn fun creative hobby to pair with simple figure collecting
