Easy ways to paint insignias?

If it's easy to draw I'd draw it and scale it down and decopage it. My figures have too many lumps and bumps on them for that so I have to paint them on either by hand or trade them using a stencil and go from there.

Im trying to make a figur of my Character in Halo 3 and need help with the emblem...any idas on how to do that?

Almost got the punisher skull to turn out free hand. I'm gonna try using a circle template or something.

Well you know I can't do anything normal.

cool base ideas

The one is going to be tricky as he's got a lot of armor on. I have to print the stuff out after measuring the figures and trace it and then paint it.

Yeah, I'd recommend decoupage too--that's usually what I do. It works surpisingly well, and, if done correctly, looks quite authentic. Alternatively, you might try some kind of stencil/masking arrangement, but that can get tricky too, especially with a lot of musculature on the chest.

I have to measure. The superman is going on the body of a Dark knight MM batman suit. The punisher is going on an N1 toys Neo figure. The batman is going on a NEca Gears of war Fenix figure. I found a few too.

Well I found a superman logo and a couple variations of the punisher skull. If you know what size you want the logos to be (in inches or centimeters) I can resize them to the exact dimensions you want.

I was thinking of making a template and tracing it. The decopauge probably wouldn't work as there is a lot of nooks and crannies and decals would probably be a problem for the same reason. Now the hard part: getting the designs the right size.

Well there's decoupage (or how ever it is spelled, I don't know, I'm not french). You print out the symbol, cut it out and coat with a 50/50 mix of white glue and water, stick it on and brush some more glue stuff on it.
Or you could print the symbol out and cut it into a stencil and paint the symbol with that.
Or you could a buy kit from your local model shop or craft store that lets you create your own decals.

Lots of 'or's there and probably plenty more out there that I have yet to find.
I've been doing some research myself because I want to do a custom for my brother-in-law and need to be able to put his company logo on it.

edit: btw I have a pretty decent version of the bat-symbol with the yellow oval, (might be able to get supes and punisher) if you want it.
