Howdy peeps,
relatively new here - started to pick up a few of the 6" Classified figures. Have been overall pretty impressed with the offerings so far, except for Baroness. The head sculpts and figures... leave a smidge to be desired (but mostly the available headsculpts). I dunno why... might be just me <shrug> Anywho... I'm in the process of making my own custom 6" Baroness to match up with my other figures using some spare Marvel Legends class figures as donor parts. I'm almost done - just need to put the Red Cobra sigil on her breastplate. I even got waterslides to make it easier and I was planning on sealing it in with semi-gloss. Except I did a trial run and you can't see the dang slide, now that everything she's wearing is black. I could probably try hand painting a white or silver cobra and then going over it again with red to get it to stand out, but I wanted to check in here to see if anyone else has a better suggestion? Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Once I get her finished up, I'll post pics! -C |

See if you can find somewhere that can print off custom clear decal sheets - ones that have a white undercoat before the colour is printed on.

I've never tried it, but it might be worth a shot...
Put down a white or silver sigil waterslide first, let it dry and clear coat it - then carefully put the red one down on top of that. |

Yeah, you have two choices. Either get a decal on white decal paper (ie, a red cobra on a black background, but the underlying paper is white). Then you just paint in around the logo with gloss black. It sounds like you got one printed on clear paper, and with that, no inkjet color is going to show up on a black figure. You can paint a splotch underneath, but that can cause a few problems. If you want a decal on white paper, PM me your address. I print decals pretty frequently, and I can throw some on the sheet for you.

I make decals using gloss white labels (Avery 22820). I print them out and the cut them and stick them on. I did most of my Action Force decals this way. You can put a red cobra sigil on a black background.
