I am converting some Heroclix figures and would like some advice on the type of glue and paint to use on them since I have never done this before with Heroclix. Enamels or acrylic paints? Superglue or epoxy or something else? Thanks. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

As for glue I really don't have an answer. Superglue or epoxy should work fine. Acrylics are ideal for clix figures. |

I've done a number of clix figures. For glue, superglue is your best bet. For paint, I'd recommend using Simple Green to do a partial strip, rinse well and they use an Acrylic primer. |

As Rich Bliss said, superglue works very well esp. for conversions. Snip and glue in most cases and you can make similar figures have different poses pretty easily. |

These are PVC figures. The recommendations for Reaper's Bones line may be helpful: link I recommend priming with gesso and using acrylic paint. It's a flexible coat that's not going to crack when the mini inevitably bends. |

Go with Acrylic paint for everything. Some, but not all, vinyl figs will get sticky when you use oil-based paints. I use gesso for priming clix figs. |
