Dagnabit acetone...

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...

Nice flock job!

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.

Thanks for the tips...upside down and time to get some burnt umber...

Great work and really good flocking !!!  

I've been there with the acetone !!

I usually use a cocktail stick for painting the eyebrows - it's far easier to control than the brush.

Here's some re-flocks I did for Chip recently with an eyebrow touch in.
