So my failed attempt at resizing a hall of famer gijoe airborne mp forced me to try my hand at painting eyes... received some very small brushes today so gave it a go... Not bad... Need to get eyebrow brown for eyebrows then touch up those. Oh...and I flocked him... Love this color blend... pictures don't do it justice...

So... the acetone got away from you on the eyes, there, did it? Yeah, that stuff can be unpredictable: nothing happens, nothing happens... the wham! The paint is gone and the plastic goes soft!
The repaint is looking good. I have not had the courage to attempt repainting eyes. It seems like an arcane dark art to me.

Nice work Angelo! a friend once gave me a tip for painting eyebrows, hold the head upside down while painting them. Sounds strange I know, but it does work . BTW, the flock looks awesome!

Nice work! I have heard that Burnt Umber is the color used for eyebrows on vintage heads.
