wanted to try this for a while ,and gave in
seamless Arnold type body ,clasic plastik boot id had for years ,and a knock off rock head sculpt ,just cause i thought it had the right sort of look ,it was bald ,and im lazy :lol
first tried staining it with red ink for base color ,not bad but washed right off :lol
50g POWDER PAINT FOR COLOURING POLYMORPH PLASTIC & INSTAMORPH SHAOE LOCK | eBay
so i tried red powder paint ,brushed on dry ,much like rubbing in pastels as seen on youtube , too pink :dunno
so i mixed it with black dry powder paint , too brown :dunno
so covered it in dry black ,looked good ,velvety and color fast when all rubbed in and excess blown off
but wrong color :dunno
so having a solid black base color with a smooth non cracking non painted surface i went with a thin red wet poster paint dry brushed over the black ,
looks okay but will crack if pose around a lot ,but it works for me as is
i think if you could find the powder paint in a darker color or darken it ,you'd be on to a winner ,as when applied dry it seems that it stains the surface rather than coats it so would possibly eliminate cracking ,
some craft foam, 2 watch batteries and a bit of twisty tie and gold paint and im calling him done :lol
