Okay, so I've gotten couple requests for a tutorial, so here it is! Hopefully, it was worth the wait. Haha, I downloaded a comic book font just for this! :P Well, this is the guide I wish I had when I first started. Anyways, I hope you guys have as much fun reading it as I had making it!

Oh, and here's Konako's tutorial that I mentioned: [link]

Edit: Okay, small update. I tried that Rustoleum primer again and this time it was a lot more matted. I am officially switching to Rustoleum primer!!

Edit 2: Realized it was sticky the first time because I didn't allow the acetone to completely dry from the figure. (I first tried Rustoleum on a Dunny) The vinyl is pretty absorbent. So if you guys do strip the paint, give the figure a day to dry completely!

Edit 3: To be clear, it's "Rust-Oleum’s Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover 2x"

I love this so much. I just
omg words cannot explain my love for this. I've always been fond of characters that have never really been popular, so that I know I can actually make one of these for them just blew my mind. Thank SO much for showing me this :)

I'm working on my first TRIKKY right now. Thanks for telling us about all these pitfalls and tips so I don't have to discover them on my own.

Awesome tutorial I just finished making my second Trikky. I wish I saw this when I worked on my first one. It's not horrible but I do wish I looked up a few pointers before I did it since the paint finish is a bit meh. But all in all I had to add this to my favorites since I have plenty of ideas I want to work on. (O_-)b

So today + yesterday I worked on my first one of these, I didnt get all the tools i needed so it turned out meth, as good as i could do with my fingers on a tiny toy. I never think of my fingers as sausages, now....now I do. xP but this tutorial and the one you linked were SUPER helpful. I would have been like ....uh....*gives up*... but yours helped a whole bunch! I didnt do nearly as well as your awesomeness, but keep trying ;D Yours is just so clean and smooth, if you have time or want to another tutioral from you would be awesome ;o on the sculpting part itself >< I bought your exact tools i still need to get the softener, i used olive oil and it worked pretty good, but id like to try the stuff in the bottle, need more money >.>. But anyways, rambling, GREAT tutorial. THANK. YOU! <3
