Vash Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 ty i know that the old hand painted way is so dated now with all these decals etc. but its what works for me.. albeit limits me because my skill on the faces is little to nonexistant.. but i can do the other stuff decently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apps on your stuff are very cool and clean, darn fine job if you ask me T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I agree with Timbo - nothing wrong with painting. I wish I knew how to use these waterslide decals that people are using for chests and faces but it seems a little too complicated for my wee little brain. Nice work, BTW, glad to see that people are being inspired by Barry's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Yeah those two are very nice. Agreed that decals are great and provide a very professional look to customs but paint is still very viable, you just gotta have steady hands. Sadly Timbo has "the shakes".

Vash Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 dont know if i have a steady hand.. as i have more the willingness to paint and repaint something til it looks right ... to me atleast.. ill have to crack out some of the older customs and repost them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombieboyfiend Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Great job Vash. I'd say great mind think alike for I was thinking the same thing about BD Things helmet since I have so many of them. *claps aloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basement24 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Good stuff, love that Robin! That's some sharp paint work on it. I always have a tendancy to miss these things until they're a month old (as is the case here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highassroller Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Decals are best for customs that are for display only. And viewed from a distance. Upclose it just looks like a sticker on a minimate part. The sticker also peels and looses stickiness with light play. The best durable way is smooth thin coats of top quality model paint with 2+ coats of protective coating. No sticker outlines or peeling off.

Vash Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Ty for the compliments B24.. with out your design id have painted on the boots and the gloves would have been different, but your design was much easier to work with. & Highassroller I've only ever worked with paint.. im too lazy to learn decals. and the only display my customs get (along with all my other 'mates) is for my personal enjoyment and the dismay of my wife ive got one im working on right now that im not sure how its going to turn out.. i dyed a clear 'mate and i think the colour is a little dark.. but i think ic an work around that part of it.. if i ever get around to stop playing WoW enough to actually work on him a bit mroe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
