Blood for the Baron!

I found them simplicity itself Ironblood, and am totally over the moon with them! So much so I've ordered a load more for other projects.

I just remembered my old model making days, and allowed them plenty of time to soak, put them roughly into position with tweezers (our lasses eyebrow tweezers, but dont tell her!), dabbed off any excess water with a bit of tissue once they were into position to prevent wrinkling, then slid them into the exact final position with the tip of my finger, then leave them to dry overnight. And that's ontop curved helmets. Saved me so much time painting the logo and the end result really sets a custom off - more to come on other projects with that!

I should have got some tweezers to use on my sheet but they are great.

Red Murks?

These are excellent, mate. Although the yoyoing in and out of Cobra doesn't sit right with the brainwashed fanaticism IMO...

I know - it was a bit cobbled together, but hopefully a bit better than "I liked him in Crimson still, so left him".

And you gave me a momentary panic there Baron - my Red Laser has black hair. I misread the BAF as "Laser" instead of "Vulture", and thought I was gong to have to get the peroxide out. Luckily on re-reading I read correctly.

Oh, and the original comments about the black shoulders were spot on Baron - cheers!

Where is the original thread? I can't remember what I said, hopefully I was serious.

Red Laser is Japanese so he would have black hair.

Any ideas how to make a figure look more japanese facially? I posted my Red Laser on Joecustoms someone called Jay who has been on here said he doesn't look japanese enough.

Headswap?

Great customs Steve, I may have to update my shadows now with and add the white stripe on the arm...

Ironblood I think the problem with the transfers start with the two layered ones - all you have to remember is to cut the first layer out carefully and then the top layer slightly outside the black line - before soaking in water place the white one over the top and make sure that it covers the skull and crossbones but doesnt go outside the logo itself... Hope that helps...

I think Jay is a member here, he wasnt too keen on a few of my things but thats the way things go i suppose.... I have a post ironblood era Red Laser which uses the unmasked Storm Shadow head...

Sorry to post here, really like these - may have to update mine now...

Steve, assumed you used some sealent / lacquer over the top - did you find that it looks very shiny now compared to the original layer? I just did this on a custom and not too happy with the final look now...

The white over the top? I was putting it underneath the Shadow logos
