my almost complete repaint of my FO Daredevil. Only thing that is holding me up is agonizing over how to do the DD insignia on his chest. I tried a decal using clear testors inkjet decal paper and it didn't work out cuz his chest is too bumpy.
I'm trying to keep it true to the comic with the DD in the center of his chest.
any suggestions?
I'm really happy with the way he turned out. I did a base coat of tamiya black and then a coat of tamiya red but it wasn't turning out the way I wanted so I slathered him up in a few coats of citadel blood red. I gotta say I really like the way the citadel paints apply. like Doc said - it is pretty hard to get a bad paint job using citadel. his exposed face is tamiya flat flesh which is my fave tamiya so far.
WTH!.....Be one withe paint brush....become the bristles...Now you are the paint mingling with the bristles..Let it flow...let it flowwwwww... hemi- spheres XD
Use sculpy...That way it will fill in the chest. Just let it set up for a while beofre shoving it on. VP?..Your steady hand?....what is your other one really, really shakey?
The thing is that you have to look at this as painting a picture, not writing letters. Don't look at the symbol as letters, look at it like a bat-symbol or a X-sign. You're drawing two hemi-spheres, not two "D's". Well that helps me anyway
Please wait...
I appreciate all the suggestions from y'all! Keep 'em coming.
I had high hopes for the decal which when first applied looked good but as it dried it got cloudy. grrrrrr
I'm on that trail as I picked up one a few days ago but wanted to see if there might be any other ideas.
does anyone here use stencils? if so what kind of material and tips for cutting it?
