I agree, the video is great..even if they are my customs. :-[


And since I am here, how about the Jedi from day two?



If you can give me some tips for hiding the gloss from the decals I would appreciate it.  I haven't worked much with decals but I bet someone know a trick or two....

Your Jedi are looking great, nice photography too. I look forward to seeing the rest of Jedi Week's Jedi.

I don't know how to hide the gloss from the decals, but I would bet someone here does. Maybe trim unneeded areas away with an xacto and roughen the surface slightly.

Just catching up here, Great video and love the first 2 Jedi. This second one is really great, I love that head sculpt and good idea trying the decals as tattoos. I would agree with KRI on trim workbut it may be too late now. I would put a decal on a generic figure, then put a drop of clear dull sealer from model masters with a brush. See what happens and if it works try it on your figure. I would NOT spray Dull Cote from Testors on it as I know it would cloud the entire decal surface area you cut out. It looks good in the photos and you may not even notice this displayed with other figures.

Wow, that jedi turned out fantastic! Sometimes, when I use decals, I will try to hide the gloss by detail painting the areas where the symbol is not at.

Sprywalker and Clonehead,

Thanks for the advice.  I guess I will have to experiment a little more.   :)

Oh, and how about a Jedi Padawan for day three?

Sprywalker,

I am pretty sure (90%) that is from a Spykids figure.  More details are posted on my blog...
