My husband and I are planning some mods for some of our extra Palisades
figures. We're working right now on some extra Piggy's we picked up (series
1) we've got a few ideas for what we'd like to try to do, but, I was hoping
to get some input from others who have done some Muppet modding.
It's pretty much just 2 questions we have.
First thing we'd like to know is what paints everyone has been using. What
works best??
Secondly, when adding bits to the figures and doing extra accessories, I
know a lot of people have be using sculpty or simiar products. Some of these
require oven curing. Is this safe for the Palisades figures??

We've got 4 ideas that we're working on. A Bridal Piggy, (we were married
a year and a half ago and would have killed for muppet wedding cake toppers,
but... ah well... too late now. But I'll be using some left over fabric
from my wedding dress for her dress, but we've got a bit of painting to do.)
An Evil Witch Piggy (based on some of the classic Disney witches), a Bride
of FrankenPiggy (cuz.. i mean, ya gotta...) and a County Fair Piggy (from,
of course, TMM)

Any assistance as far as paints and extension clay (of FrankenPiggy's hair,
mostly..) would be extremely welcome.

Thanks!!

I don't know much about modding the figures but I wouldnt go putting them in the oven, it doesnt sound right but I could be wrong.
