So I turned around one day and suddenly I have a Staples copy paper box full of figure fodder. I have no idea how it happened, but it is ridiculous so I have made a decision to try to use some of it up.
First up is that Concept Vault Shipwreck that I liked so much when I saw it. This was mainly just part swapping and paint, but I did make the cuffs out of a Retaliation 3-pack Firefly webgear. The Navy on his chest is a waterslide from a model and the tattoo is a waterslide I printed myself. I included a before pic, which I usually don't do, but since this was a fodder utilization situation, I think it's cool to see.

Nice! Change the NAVY to SURVIVAL and the beard color and you'd have a cool Outback too!

That came out great! Hard to believe you made this custom with just fodder pieces.

I used papilio laser printer clear water slide decal paper. Found the image online. printed it up to the appropriate size. cut it out as close as I could. soaked it extra long in really hot tap water. applied it with decal setting solution. After it dried I used a paint on acrylic clear coat, then I finish all my customs with Testors spray dull coat to knock back the shine.
Making waterslides at home with clear paper works well with black images, colors are more difficult as the base color can bleed through and white does not print at all. But for tattoos like this it works great.
