Bobby ThumbsI wanted to put tatoos on the girls but my skills are not that good. I would not even know how to start on a tattoo

Bruce HuxtableGreat start on a super figure set. Your faces look deceptively easy, but still well beyond my own humble attempts. Getting rid of joins at bare shoulders is soo difficult to achieve too.

Bobby ThumbsBruce I gave up trying to hide the joins. I'm a paint first guy so trying to touch up after gluing was a pain.

Bruce HuxtableI know the feeling, Bobby, I do the same if arms obscure other details. Still haven't found a good way to depict hair....

Bobby ThumbsWeek 5: Finished all the figures, tried a tattoo on one of the girls. Let's just say I will NEVER be a tattoo artist

Mike SzwarcBobby, there are several videos on YouTube about painting tattoos on miniatures.

Bobby ThumbsThanks for thr heads up Mike but it's not the technique it's my skill level and eyes that makes me a bad tattoo artist

Mike SzwarcI have to admit, though I've painted lots of gaming minis, I've never tried to do a tattoo myself. And at 67, my eyes are bad enough that I can't do any modeling without my trusty optivisor. These days I'm happy if I can get the eyes on a figure to come out the same size.

Bobby ThumbsWeek 6 - visited a local art store and got another crackle medium which worked well. Small victories. Just a few little things to so before calling it done. I may re-visit the tattoo.

Thomas EspeNice diorama!
Peddinghaus has some 1/35 tattoo decals, that might be an option (peddinghaus-decals.d..oos.html?language=en)

Bobby ThumbsHey Thomas - just did some googling of Peddinghaus - some complaints of decal being too glossy and hard to put on even with a decal solution - have you had any experience with peddinghaus decals?

Thomas EspeHi. No, sorry, I haven't actually used peddinghaus myself, I just got curious if there were some decals for tattoos in 1/35 and found those.

Week 4: started on the figures. I think I improved as I moved along. I think I am still applying the paint too thick. I have been going back with a bit of thinner on the brush to get rid of some paint and to try and get the paint smoother on the skin. Close up the girls look like they got bad skin problems. From afar they look acceptable
