===Creating the Figurine===
1. Lay out the newspaper, and pick out the red, yellow, white and black paints. <br />
[[Image:Removing_dial.jpg|thumb|right|Seperating the dial is easy.]]
2. Using the knife, seperate the '''DEO Agent''' figurine's torso from her legs. I succeeded by slicing the torso in two, and then removed the remaining coat from the legs. <br />

1. Lay out the newspaper, and pick out the basic red, white and black paints. Set aside the thinner and a bright yellow paint for later.<br />
2. Using the knife, seperate the '''DEO Agent''' figurine's torso from her legs. <br />
2.1. You can slice the figurine in half and then remove the coat from the legs by making an incision between the tail of the coat and the left hip. If you do this, you'll need to glue the coat together before painting.<br />
2.2 You can also make a circular slice from hip to hip, trying to seperate the legs without touching the coat. You'll need to seperate the coat from the hip before you attempt this.<br />
3. Now, remove the bottom of the combat dials from both the '''Tombstone''' and '''DEO Agent''' figurines. Take the '''Tombstone''' dial and attach it to the '''DEO Agent'''. Glue is not neccessary, dials should click into place easily. <br />

4.Using the black paint,color in the Experience band, name, team, and set symbol. There should only be the '''cost''' and '''combat''' symbols remaining on the dial. Allow time to dry.
5. After the paint has dried, use the superglue to reconnect the torso to the legs. You now have yourself a Niki Sanders ''[[Episode:How to Stop an Exploding Man|How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'' figurine.
==Steps==
==Painting==
1. Paint the figurine in the order below for minimum mess. <br />
1. Using each color in the order below, paint the figurines using ''size 1'' and ''size 4'' paintbrushes. You should only need to go over the pieces once, as the paint is thick; try to paint as smoothly as possible. Use the paint thinner if the paint gets too thick.<br>
2. After you're done, place your brushes in soapy water immediately. The paint dries quickly.<br />
2. Clean up your brushes, paints and any messes you might have made. Allow time for paint to dry completely. Mine took two hours.<br>
3. Allow time for paint to dry completely on figurine. Mine took two hours.<br />
3. After the paint has dried, use the superglue to reconnect the torso to the legs.
===Tips===
* Model paint tends to be thicker then the factory paint. Because of this, only one layer of paint is neccessary; any more than that will erase the shape of the figurines mold and obscure details.
* Painting in one direction for the entire figurine will give it a smooth appearance, even if the paint is lumpy.
* Don't be afraid to use the paint thinner.
* You can also use the knife to cut away extra paint, going over it again if you cut too deeply.

Paint the pants completely black.
* Paint the pants completely black, up to the boots.
* Color over the ''Experience ring'', ''name'', ''team'', and ''set'' symbols. There should only be the '''cost''' and '''combat''' symbols remaining on the dial.

Using the ''size 1'' brush, paint the sleeves and the areas around the hair and neck white. Remember to use the thinner if you misstep and recolor the face, hands, or gun.
* Using the ''size 1'' brush, paint the sleeves and the areas around the hair and neck white.
* Switch brushes to the ''size 4'' and paint the remainder of the coat.
* Should you choose to, mark the figurine's base with the name "Niki" after the rest of the paint has dried.
Switch brushes to the ''size 4'' andpaint the remainder of the coat. There are thin pieces where her belt is that have a tendency to stick together; try to keep them seperated as it's drying or use the knife to reseperate them later.
''Note'': The figurine's belt tends to stick together; try to keep the coat and belt seperated as it's drying, or use the knife to reseperate them later.
If you want, you could try to label the HeroesClix with the ''size 1'' brush, but this is unneccessary.

After the white has dried, use the ''size 1'' brush to paint the shirt red.

Underneath the hairhasbeen painted brown,forsomereason. So, you will need to take the ''size 1'' brush and paint over it with yellow.
* The back of the inside of her hair was painted brown in the factory. You'll need to go over it with the ''size 1'' brush and bright yellow.
* If you only have a basic or dark yellow, then you'll need to use the ''size 4'' brush to paint over the rest of the hair to match.
You may also clean up any white spots that might have occured.
