Ok, so at work we've got a Secret Santa thing to do. $10 gift and all that.
I drew a young lady in Finance who I know is almost a Tae Kwon Do black belt (mainly because she's often limping around the office bruised) and she even sent around some photos of her mid fight in a recent tourny she entered.
I have a couple of fully poseable action figure dolls (like Stikfas, but another manufacturer, I forget the name) still in blister and they come with a couple of martial arts weapons (sword & staff).
So I'm thinking of taking one of those photos from the tourny and creating a new fake foam card 'back board' for the figure with some suitable text involving the lady's name etc.
So! A question for Phil: I can open and discard the old blister backing easily enough, but what do you do to clean the excess paper/glue off the blister? Soak it in soapy warm water overnight and scrub lightly? Also what do you use to reattach the blister to a new back board? I'm thinking PVA and staples?
Any other tips for fake dollyage? This particular figure is bare (no printing) but does come with a sticker set. Possibly I could create a suitable facial sticker (depending if I can get a decent shot) and slap that on it's head?
