Painting playmo skin, what color?
« on: May 28, 2010, 20:58:13 »
Say you want to make a bald clicky, what paint would you use? Is there paint available that exactly matches the colour of skin of the original clicky?

Use TESTORS water based hobby paints White 52244550117, & Israel Early Tan 52244553422. Custom mix these 2 colors together to match the Klicky's head with an approximate ratio of 2 drops of tan to 1 drop of white, & adjusting amounts depending on figure tint, because of age, & possible previous fading.

That's very interesting Ali. I was wondering that myself. I need to make some ladies' cleavage. I haven't found anything in the argentine market. Im trying to avoid mixing colors myself but I think i'll end up doing that.....  :)

You can see my results of this coloring experiment in the photo story board topic titled "New bare chested patient for PCEMS photo stories!"

No problem, glad to help! I recommend using a medical liquid eye dropper to mix the appropriate ratio because it's more precise!

I used for my Chippendales skin a mixture of Humbrol Enamel No 82 Matt (kind of orange terracotta) and Revell Email white No 04.

Just to give you another possibility.  ;)

Tonguello, me too can't wait to see your new customs! Love your ladies!  :love:
