Star Wars Action Figures / Re: My first Clone Custom (New Pics)
« on: June 6, 2005, 03:08 PM »
Yeh I used testors and about 4 different brushes on it and a glossy clear coat . Although i wont be playing with that glossy stuff anymore the testors green is perfect color i think.
I also tried a .05 micron pen blue (not royal) on a clone today and it was done in about half the time. I would try a micron pic from michaels craft shop. if you pic one up and use it doe about 3 coats to your toy with it and do not touch it or it will smear . It washes off very easy though with water . I added a clear coat to it and it looks very nice . Infact i got a green micron pen a brown one and orange and rubs it on my finger to smear it on the legs and it looks like dirt ... pretty cool.
I saw a web site that was saying they work and it works awesome . It alsmost even looks shaded and the tip on the pin works well but requires a few coats from it. But the green cloan in these pics was just testors paint . I used a boom brissle for the black claw marks on the head and leg . All this playing around with micron pens is working out very well though i can get very very sharp lines and when i had to do it on that green cloan with a long tip paint bursh .... it took forever . I also used liquid masking tape to help me get the lines better. Liquid masking tape just rubs off with your finger when your paint has dried and it looks like glue if you have never used it.

Thanks alot guys good to hear I might be on the right track . As more come out im sure i will post them up on here . I admit the gloss is a lil to glossy but the picture is adding to the shine of it alot . I think im gonna try to use a less glossy clear coat next time. do any of you use actual dirt or leave stuff in the sun or out side to age the toy ? It was just sothing on my mind . well anyways thanks again I will use your advise on the one I will be doing today
