Well depends how beat up you want the teeth to look?

Smokers have yellowy teeth and most people have some discolouration so you can try adding a watered down yellow or black over the white.

I added watered down black on my terminator and it came out ok for it, but if you want a more human look I would use a cream or off white.

And maybe use a clear gloss or sealant to give them a veneer, hope this helps

Thanks i,ll give it a go

I hav'nt tried with hot toys preds but have with 12 inch mcfarlane preds.

What I do is paint with a metalic silver or bronze, depending what pred your doing, leave to dry and then just apply black acrylic with a dry brush in small amounts and then just wipe away the excess with a wet cloth/rag untill I get the right effect.
I would try it on something small that you don't mind messing up if you go too crazy with the black paint.

Hope this helps

 

[Che-Che2837]

thanks I will try this out

 

[sparkstron73]

Cool hope it works for you

You can start a thread anywhere in the custom section. If you're showing off a display you might want to use the 'show your shelves' area.

AC Moore has small dollhouse hinges. They aren't perfectly 1/6 but should do nicely.

You should check out this page

https://codyscoop.com/ht-building.html

It shows you how to weather mechs like Gundams, but the techniques can be applied to armor as well.
