find a printout you want, print it, then cut it out then glue it on the figure. same thing goes with the shirts. i dont recomnd playing with the figs though because the paper could rip.

....decals? Print it out...doesn't have to be on decal paper. Cut it out. Here's the method I go about applying it to the figures: After cutting it out, use glue (I use glue that is made for puzzles, but you can use regular school glue and mix water with it) and coat the back of the decal; apply to the figure. After that has dried, I usually paint the decal to make it look more realistic, more like it belongs on the figure. After the paint has dried, I apply another coat of glue across the top of the decal, to ensure that it will stay. Here's an example of a finished product: williamnc23.tripod.com/photos/000_0321.JPGAfter applying the decal to the figure, I used white and gold paints, and painted accordingly. I don't have that figure, but the person who bought it off ebay still has it and spoken of nothing bad happening to the decal. |

Like AF said, otherwise known as decals. I posted this a couple of times, my method differs ever so slightly from AF's, as does the result. I guess it depends on what your decal-ing, if that's a word. Well in the old days the method was: Print it out, cut it out and use white glue mixed with water to stick it on the figure and then paint over it with the glue/water mixture. I've only done that once (on my really early Raven custom - www.angelfire.com/al2/Ianarchy/Raven.html) but it looks really really smooth. In fact I've often substituted sealant for the water/glue mix. |
