The one thing I've not delved into yet with my customs is applying a Cobra logo. I like the style the Cobra logo is on the retail figures (stenciled spray mask). I don't want to resort to stickers if I don't have to. (especially if the surface isn't flat, like the 25A Flash body)
So what do most tankers do: Stencil? Model transfers (the water type)? Just don't paint over the logo? |

I have yet to deal with this, and I have been wondering this myself, so I'm a bit excited to hear from some of the experts as to the best method...if I had to bet...I'd say the best way would probably be a waterslide decal...but that is just a guess.

Dude...just free hand draw it, man! That's what I did, and now I have a bunch of Cobra "special" agents who look like they've been shot point blank with a 12-gauge right on the chest. All I need now is to customize a "short bus" HISS for my Cobra "special" agents....LOL....
For reals though, I'm wondering what the elite customizers do to.....cool question to post.... |

Yeah, waterslide decals is by far the easiest and best method. I use it all the time. But I'm no expert, I just know it works really really well...

hmmm. I'm tempted to try something...
I'm contemplating creating an airbrush stencil (I realize most people won't have access to an airbrush, but it's worth a shot. I'll let you know if it works. If so, I'll post it and see if anyone else would want one too. |

You can buy inkjet-printable waterslide decal paper at some arts & crafts or hobbyist stores. Some companies also sell them online (just google "printable waterslide decal" to get a sample of the various stores that sell them). Just print the logo you want on the decal paper and you're good to go.
