Custom Black Series Rey (repaint) in progress

Post by BGR »

Hey guys recently started repainting this figure, excellent mould so it really deserves a better paint job in my opinion. So far I've only painted the skin and some clothes but already it's made a huge difference Imo. Hope you enjoy!

I like it!
I love customizing these figures.

Can you list the process and what paints you used for this effect.

Hi, glad you like! Here are the paints I used for the skin. Used ratskin flesh for base, then Kislev flesh on top of that, and then used a tad bit of pink horror for things like her lips and cheekbones etc.

Nice I do some painting myself with troopers only.

I have been wanting to touch up on flesh, your guide is really helpful.
Keep up the good work.

Excellent job! You're really breathing life into that figure and bringing out the beauty of the sculpt, so often obliterated by factory paint aps.
