thats the hard part..lol..might go the easy way out and get a sticker made for it..lol

LapuLapu · 03-22-2012, 11:37 PM

I am so tempted to make another Ares out of the ultimate Thor from the Avengers line but Im hopeful that Hasbro would release Ares for the 3.75" line.

Yup a decal would be nice or just use a silver pen to draw it instead of painting it.

For that look I used twist ties and dipped them in plasti dip. Works good since its posable and the plasti dip comes in different colors,

however, I think the guitar string trick would look better.

Great words to live/collect by.

Send me a graphic of it- I gotta make some decals for a couple of arkers (I'm so late with this it's not funny) and I can make you one on opaque waterslide decal film (the stuff you get with plastic models).

You've hooked everyone here up so I can give a little back!

you can add Skaar and Ragnarok to the "template" Dark Avengers!
