What does everyone think would be the best Halloween related custom? I for one am a HUGE Halloween fan as I'm sure most of us here are

haha...well there are a few holloween related characters but if I were to make one, I would go with the old headless horseman with a twist...it would be the headless horseman on a bike...animated oilslick

paint him up like the headless horseman and there's my halloween custom I would love to make. Give him a detachable pumpkin head and I'm done. What about you?

An Arkham Asylum boxset but set in a very Dark Knight Batman look....or Black Lanterns with lots of creepy detail

I really like your Headless Horseman idea Moe....you could do a boxset with old and new versions....make the horse very skeletal with big decaying teeth showing

I think tackling the classics (Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf, Mummy) but in a very twisted modern take. The boxset box would of course be a coffin!:D

NICE BigHank....it would be cool if the WolfMan came with removable Werewolf heads, hands and feet....

Yeah, if I was to do the "classics" I'd actually have each figure represent the cast of Wizard of Oz!

Tin Man=Frankenstein
Cowardly Lion=Werewolf
Scarecrow=Mummy
Dorothy= Hmm....Bride of frankenstein or maybe Elvira or a random Goth girl.
The Wizard=Dracula

Shoot, the witches could be witches, bat winged monkeys, dwarves! Jeez, The Wizard of Oz was a freakshow!!

I think you just made a friend for life, my girlfriend LOVES the Wizard of Oz....that's a really creative idea

Wow those are some great ideas! I had one (im not attempting this) wouldt it be cool to have a black and orange repaint of ROTF Starscream? Like instead of the decepticon symbols, you could put pumkins instead, and so something else.... with the tatoos? I dont know.... What do yall think?

That's actually a really good idea. And an attainable one too! I believe Jin Saotome did a red and green Iron an for a Christmas auction. I think it was Jin. Lemme double check.

But yeah, Seekers are cool, and black and orange contrast nicely. You should do it!

I have visited the toutorials section, and alot of it is great! Just i dont think there is a toutorial on the basics of paintING i think there is on the basics of PAINT itself. Hotwire has helped me out alot with what i would need and stuff but what would be the first step in doing something like this? Also im not trying to turn this into a "Help Me" thread.

Yeah, too bad his figures really lack in the articulation department. If they better articulation, they would rule!

What kind of tutorials do you need for basic painting?

step 1: open jar
step 2: dip in brush
step 3: apply paint to figure
repeat until done

:p

Yep. but dont have resources for that. I HAVE started though, on an AH-64 Apache Zombie Killer chopper called "OverKill". except Im in need of zombies, and a pilot or two.
