Great idea and you can do it BUT it's going to look funny having a big head on a small vegeta's body.
Ss3 hair is different from raditz hair. Radits hair is longer, wider and looking from the side view his hair doesn't stick out much compare to ss3 hair.
I can see bardock using vegeta's body, I have seen 2 people that pull it off and it looks good. Loosecollector custom bardock and CK(forgot his name) custom bardock. Both custom was base on vegeta's body but they had to extend and sculpt muscle on lower torso. Now, I don't think it will work on making raditz. raditz is much taller so vegeta is not going to work.

I dunno... the paint looks pretty rough for something you have to pay $124 for.

no, 124 is horrible price for that IMO. I am not good at custom, but judging by the paint he did, I am not even sure if he just straight out dry brushed it or if he just took acrylic paint and messed it all up onto the hair and shoulders without using a brush.

Well I need help. Lots of help... This isn't help for a custom figure, but I need help for a custom display/diorama. I recently wanted to make a base/diorama type thing for my Figuarts. I was inspired by iami2eapei2 's display to make a Rocky Canyon type thing like the picture down below. So I got some Styrofoam and began carving away, making rocks, and such. When I was happy with what I'd done, I had in mind that the next step was to paper mache it, then paint it and boom done. Only problem is... paper mache doesn't stick to Styrofoam!? So now I'm stuck in a bad spot. This was my original plan so I have no idea what to do now! I thought maybe I can just paint it but the Styrofoam will flake off too easily! Any ideas?

I bought this pink foam from home depot. Hope this helps littlegreen1.Cut square pieces out in different sizes put tooth picks (3-5)in the middle to help connect the pieces, also use glue.  2. Once the squares are dried begin shaping the foam. I used a knife. Note, the white foam is bad for dioramas as they dont keep detail.  3. I bought this crappy sculpt it clay, it is horrendous for figures but nice for dioramas. reason being is this sculpt it usually cracks after its dried so perfect for the rocks lol. that tub is like 15$ so its cheap   4. apply chunks of sculpt it around the foam and shape it into rocks. I didnt do it for the entire thing. I left 25% of the back undone as it will never be seen since it will be facing a wall. After the sculpt it dries. I spray painted it with a brown and made sure everything was covered then went back and used acrylic paints to apply different shades of browns and yellows. After apply fake diorama grass and you are done.  |

Alright, another nooby question inbound.  Has anyone ever had trouble with Tamiya Acrylic? Whenever I try to paint something, it dries so quick I can barely even have enough time to spread it. Then it becomes this peeling gooy substance. I don't know what's wrong. The paint isn't bad, I just bought it. It's happening to my flat black and pink as well. I used Model Masters and Vallejo on the same figure and they worked normally. I thought to add a little bit of thinner and that didn't do much either... |

Ive never run into that problem myself. I try to make sure my brush a little damp and work with thinner layers. Maybe you're clumping too much at a time?

I don't think so I usually use very small amounts on my brush at one time. The other paints aren't doing it and it's so odd!  |

Acrylic is water based I think, so I don't think you should use thinner to thin it. I just use water.
