Blushing an Obitsu body?

You did WHAT? WHERE?? HOW??? Share the knowledge or explain once again why we use chalk pastels and not oils.

Blushing an Obitsu body?

Postby Evelien » Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:15 pm

For one of the characters in a storyline I'm thinking of, I'd love to fully blush a 1/3 Obitsu body in a certain colour. My question is: if I spray all the body parts with MSC, will there be a difference in the way the colour sticks to the hard (ABS?)and the soft plastics (vinyl)..? Does anybody know..?

Nope. Not really. MSC unifies plastic surfaces...lol. I have fully blushed a few 27cm bodies. The legs are ABS and the torso is vinyl. It looks even to me.

And as you can see below. The MSC actually makes the different plastics look more alike. Only the 27cm has been coated with MSC, blushed and sealed. The ABS on the un blushed bodies is shiny compared to the vinyl.

One of the things MSC does (other than sealing) is giving the surface "tooth" so things like paint and pastel dust stick to the surface better.

@Resu, I know that, but I was asking this because I didn't know if the material sprayed upon made a difference :)

@Landwhale, thanks so much, this is so helpful! Awesome :D
