SavaTheAggie Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I was digging out some figs last night and found some of my old custom figs (well, two of the ones aren't actually "custom"), so I decided to take some pictures. Descriptions are on their respective Flickr photo pages. Ancient Knight Skull Knight The Oracle Vinyl Knight Old School Custom Accessories --Tony Quote
Hinckley Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Great stuff, Tony! I remember this Oracle very well and I didn't realize it was yours. Although I did download the torso from Classic-Castle, I believe, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise. What do you use to paint your elements? Quote
Asuka Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 They all look very fine, I like especially that gritty shining Ancient Knight. A good work indeed. Quote

The gold knight used enamel based model paint, which didn't work out too well. Then again, I was 10 or 12 when I painted it the first time, so there you go. All of the other painted elements weren't actually painted, they were dyed. I used a spray can of vinyl dye which bonds to and is absorbed by the plastic, leaving a much cleaner, smoother finish than you ever could with any form of paint. --Tony Quote

Does it flake off or stain the other pieces? Quote

Once its dry (and it dries reasonbly quick) it's permanent. It does not flake off, rub off, or fade. It becomes one with the plastic and does no harm to other pieces (though it does add a few microns of thickness so pieces do fit tighter than before). --Tony Quote
