Hi, guys. I am working on this 12 inch 'Crying Freeman' custom figure currently and it's a commission project for my local customer. The base body is a 12 inch hot toys 'Rocky' muscle body. Remember I did ask abt the decal in the other section? Well, I finally decided to draw and paint the 'Dragon' tatoos onto the body but I face a BIG problem which is I need to get paint that can bond onto the rubber muscle body. Finally, I got some info from my friends and I found this 'CITIDEL' paint that can be painted on almost any surface including metal but of course u will have to paint on many fine layers so as to achieve a strong bond. I hope this findings can be of any help to all of u here. The current 'Dragon' tattoo painted on the chest took me a week to complete!!! I still have to paint another one at the back and 2 tails at both tighs!!! Gosh! It gonna takes me a month or more to get all tattoos painted excluding the head sculpt yet. Lastly, I need to get some info from u guys if there are any type of sealen I can use to protect the artwork. Thanks!!! ;D
