Last year I started buying and mutilating cheap plasticky fasion dolls, with a view to selling them. It was a lot of fun and I had some great ideas ("Ms. Psycho Beauty Queen," so keen to win the pageant that she's amputated a competitor's arm and is carrying it in her handbag... "HERE'S your damn dinner!" with her frilly little apron, carving knife and packet of Rat-B-Ded... you get the picture). However, none of the dolls turned out as good as in my imagination.
I need to know the following:
What modelling substance can I use on horrible cheap dolly plastic (hereafter known as HCDP) to create scars, horns, warts, ect? Modelling HCDP itself is a non-starter; man, that stuff is impossible. Melting it doesn't work, it just shrinks, and it's too thin to carve. I've been using Milliput, which gives good adhesion but only looks right under a thick coat of opaque paint. I want something closer to HCDP in look and feel, but malleable.
What paints, pigments or dyestuffs work on HCDP? I've tried a variety. Magic Marker smudgeth, ink beadeth up, acrylics peeleth, nail varnish cracks, oil-based paints won't dry, and so on. I understand there's some kind of powdered pigment that can be dissolved in acetone and used as a dye, but I don't know where I can come by it. I mean, how can I make Zombie Hooker Fake Barbie if I can't make her be green?
Help, ect. |
