WHERE TO: sand and prepare marvel Legends action figure before painting it

Here is a quick rundown I was trying to put together too quickly and I was unable to properly execute the point clearly .. A where to sand on marvel legends Spider-Man action figures .. Making superior Spiderman and the spider ...Watch until the end for a sneak on painting web lines... Sorry for the "not so great video" thanks for watching.

[@ArtistNeilBrant]

this is my first day customizing and you are my teacher....just solved my joint paint rub problem...thanks man!

[@specialk3357]

Thank you for giving us your valuable time to teach us how to do this stuff. I don’t know what we would do w/o ya Poundz! God Bless 👍

[@gunnersmate7482]

Great video.. love your work and your methods. I found these cool little abrasive sanding needle type things at my hobby store. They are really good for this type of project. They can be expensive but if you take a super fine grit model sand paper and clue it to tooth picks they do the same job.

[@DDRacezero]

Thanks for the vid Poundz. I found that clear nail polish, yes clear. Will strip paint very well without damaging the plastic. Nail polish remover can be a hassle unless diluted. Clear nail polish right out the bottle.... spread on, wipe off. Made my life a whole lot easier. Cheers.

[@Poundz978]

The nail polish remover I use takes just 1 swipe of a Q-tip and the paint is gone
Thx

[@emanuelpaigejr.6354]

Poundz978 which nail polish do you use?

[@heywingspan]

i know you're probably super busy and don't have much time to respond to comments but I wanna say thanks for all the tips you given it really helps. BUT - when breaking down figures, sanding and panting. how do you get the figures re-assembled without the heat thats needed to reapply joints not messing up with the paint?

[@Poundz978]

Hairdryer - heat up the holes in the legs and arms and attach … there should be no paint chip if done correctly

[@zerodiablo2462]

Thanks dude this helped a lot, now I know where to sand and not just guess. I’m thinking of making a bullet point Spider-Man custom.

[@baullima8807]

Your tutorials are next level. Thank you for them

[@ThisIsInfamousJBlack]

I actually like the Spiderman without the lines for some reason. Your a skilled customizer Poundz!

[@Poundz978]

Thank you very much

[@tamagokun]

These HOW TO videos are great. Thank you.

[@ivanfrias2605]

tjis helped me so much I painted the marvel legends retro wave cyclops to look like the giant size xmen he looks very good I painted him since the actual figure looks the same but is like 40 or something like that

[@specialk3357]

Haha, that’s funny bc I’m currently doing the same thing after getting the Target Ex. Storm and Thunderbird. Great minds think alike!

[@sideswipe0021]

Thank you poundz this exactly what kind of content I'm looking for thank you man

[@Poundz978]

Hope I can make more of these

[@PeterTSF]

Your videos helped me alot I didn't even know I had to sand it

[@Poundz978]

Sanding is the most important part, paint won’t stay in the joints if you don’t make room for it.

[@PeterTSF]

@@Poundz978 question what type of sealer do you use
And what happens if I don't sand like the chest will the paint rub off or stay

[@LifewithBrock]

Good tips. Superior Spidey looking 🔥

[@Poundz978]

Thx sir, I appreciate that

[@PhillyMadeGeo]

Wsp boss appreciate the tips. Ik you do strictly Spider-Man but can I have your opinion on painting the ML retro Thor Ragnarok boots? It ain’t nothin crazy im just tryna make it a brighter yellow. It got a calf swivel, so do I have to sand anything down? Appreciate any help.

[@bjpalm1994]

Great vid Poundz! Do you crack your figs open to do the sanding or keep them one piece?

[@countpicula]

Love your work man. Excited too see the superior webbing full.
Have you thought of trying a super fine micro pen?

[@swavaesama9617]

I subscribed only because of the song lol and plus his vids are dope and inspiring

[@Poundz978]

Thanks for coming by and subbing!

[@420Ruger]

Yo I hate to bother you with more questions but I figured if anyone knew the answer it would be you.
I'm making my first attempted on doing a custom Speed ball figure and was wondering if you can recommend me some paints and possibly some hints or suggestions on how to get the best looking design

[@mikek7660]

Damn my man starts the intro right off on a custom fig I wanna make lol

[@TechChucker]

Great video. I finally started back up on my 2nd custom. Can you recommend any figures that have a harness that looks like suspenders that I could swipe for my custom? Or a figure or something to use that has somewhat softer plastic that I could make into suspenders? Thank you, and again, great video, very helpful.

[@Poundz978]

Not too sure sorry

[@RaafinhaMoreiira]

Thank you so much, Poundz! Another excellent video to help us to try make a custom by ourselves. Thanks a lot!

[@Poundz978]

I'll try more often to help you guys out

[@RaafinhaMoreiira]

Oh, I'm looking forward for that! Thanks again!

[@donsawyer4521]

Thank you very much. This is great I didn't realize to trim the edges like that. That is so helpful.

[@Poundz978]

Yes that helps a lot

[@josephrollins5734]

Thanks man.. helped.. in the elbows and knees and ankles.. do you take them completely apart or sand when they are together

[@Poundz978]

Joseph Rollins I take apart arms,hands, feet,lower legs, upper thighs,
I also remove pins on arms and legs depending on the color needed.
I never take a torso apart or remove the upper torso with another lower torso

[@josephrollins5734]

@poundz978 just the hands and feet not the pegs that are in them right?

[@danielmontero8200]

Hello Poundz978, I have a question for you. What type of sandpaper is best for sanding down joints to prep for a figure repaint? I ask because about a week ago I finally got my TASM 2 Marvel Legends figure & I wish to repaint it to be movie accurate, since the default colors are way off.

[@Poundz978]

150-220 grit

[@danielmontero8200]

@@Poundz978 Thank you. Any chance this is sold on Amazon for a affordable price?

[@williamspence4022]

Thank you so much bro bro 💯💯💯💯

[@brunascalon3230]

Very good review! Do you apply any type of sealer on the figure after painting to avoid it from chipping off?

[@RazzyBark]

I really love a Spidey without the webbing!

[@spider-man_deadpool6275]

Could you please make an Ultimate spiderman black suit but with the peter parker body and thanks for the tips they are very very helpful

[@halolegend1172]

O your great at fixing figures so i need your help. I have the new version of symbiote spiderman(kingpin wave) and his arm broke. I tried to get the arm out of the butterfly joint. I took a break from it so my brother tried used A DRILL! and he left a mark. And his symbol was messed up so how do i get rid of the mark and what paint do i use to repaint it. Thank you

[@ferniefern6754]

Flow at the end of the video is sick.

[@starkiller85jk]

I wanna see more! Lol I liked and sub.

[@SamZ3X]

Nice man! Question though, what tipe of paint did you use? I tried using enamel paint on a startlord heads one, not long after it went really sticky.

[@Poundz978]

SamZ3X ruclips.net/video/aTC9N3njqAI/видео.html
Never use enamel, NEVER!

[@Poundz978]

SamZ3X or.....7:37

[@michael11vg]

Great job so far 👍🏽

[@spidersans4249]

Amazing man good job

[@aukiejohnson4308]

That is cool and dope

[@adjLBC1981]

Should you disassemble the fig to get better access to the areas that need sanded

[@superhumanlee]

Sorry to ask this, what paint do you use?

[@TheNapoleonComplex1]

Bro I liked off the intro alone #hiphop

[@lRoboToast]

This was helpful man. Thanks for doin this!

[@Poundz978]

RoboToast glad this helps

[@lox2044]

Thanks for ideas

[@Poundz978]

No thx for watching

[@lox2044]

Poundz978 sheck out my new video and like it if you liked my 2 stop motion

[@shadowmosesmusic]

Do you have to sand if you're using a light coat of primer? I could see still doing the shoulders and other rub areas.

[@Poundz978]

Yes ... Whatever joint your adding paint to needs to be sanded down .. Even primer adds a layer on

[@shadowmosesmusic]

Thanks for the tutorial. Trying to use this method but having a hard time separating my figures. What's your method you use? Can you put up a video about getting the shoulders and torso apart?

[@davidholley7744]

Learning from the master. I would have liked to see you actually sand it to see how you do it.

[@82heartofalion]

Love your channel man. Thanks for all the tips

[@RANDOMPEPSIBOTTLES]

Hey, what numbers should we have for the grit and fine sand paper?

[@zidanejavier5290]

Demnnn this will be my 1st proj. Wish me luck

[@UnboxingArt]

So clean!

[@Poundz978]

Thank you

[@cybernerdcreations4475]

This may sound stupid what do I sand it with? Sand paper?

[@itzneoxys2781]

What type of sandpaper do you use?

[@wadecreate]

Awesome

[@entity9775]

Thanks I just need the supplies

[@seanlewis5312]

Bro what do u use to seal your figures with

[@adamrosalez460]

I really recommend u should try doppleganger just sculpt head hands and feet and drill holes that are the size of the shoulder peg like Life with Brock did

[@michaelartoria2459]

Some of the things I use are emery boards and hobby files. The files and boards are great for hitting the lower body and shoulders.

[@wargeneral5809]

What paint do you use :)?

[@ingloriousmax]

I just don't get how you are able to sand down stuff like the elbow joints the fit is so tight there is no paint fitting in between there that won't rub for me.

[@Damned_Damian]

Do you know how to effectively cover up the peg holes? Like the pins where the elbows are

[@Poundz978]

Sculpt (aves apoxie)

[@leyenda6149]

Best line work i have ever seen. Hey Poundz, do you have a video of you actually doing sanding? What sanding equipment do uou use? Do you use a sanding bit on a Dremel? Thx as always!

[@unclecreed2986]

I made a custom Nitro the shoulders always rub the paint off I wish I had sanded it first.

[@alfred617]

What type of blue did you use

[@stevepool915]

How did you do the fire effects in the begining

[@davidmarrero9608]

Great tutorials really wanna get into customizing one of these days so your videos help a lot on understanding that and keep up the good work too :)

[@Wortwort-Spooderbat]

Can i have a custom done please

[@bigdumbproductions2130]

I’m just starting off with customizing. I would like to see how you sand the figures. I cannot find anywhere how to sand a superior octopus figure. Pls help

[@nexusvfx-uw2si]

Poundz978 thanks BTW i love your MCU custom iron spider and your PS4 insomniac spider man they are my favorite customs from you

[@suddskys7482]

Where do you get all your figures from

[@Poundz978]

The store

[@suddskys7482]

That's good. In Sweden we can't find any. I need superior Spider-man for my custom build.

[@Sybato]

So a female Marvel legends would be easier to start with, since it doesn't have the waist joint, so that's one less joint to sand

[@Poundz978]

Sybato maybe a Bucky cap body is the easiest to work on.
A female is as easy... but requires different prep

[@devinkavanaugh1034]

I'd love to see this for a female figure

With sand paper and your hand or a dremel

[@Youaresooriginal]

Poundz978 oh alright I'm lucky I got the sandpaper

[@TheKottnqtip]
