The Dye A Day Thread! (Part II)

...Bill Murray on my Orc.

That Bill Murray one is dope as hell. What did you do to get all the different shades? Was each shade a dip dye, but just for less time, or with a weaker dye mix?

 

[marcwatts]

I started by peeling off the areas I wanted the darkest and actually dipped the first time in a dark blue for 10 mins. Then I rinsed and peeled for my next shade with the iDyePoly red which overwhelmed the blue entirely. Then rinsed and peeled for the next and lightest shade of red which was maybe 3-4 minutes. I hoped that since I didn't re-cover anything it would save time, but the whole thing took around 4 hrs

I put a cowbell loving Walken on my Drone and Bill Murray on my Orc.

I have been trying to get BFM on a disc for about a year, the problem for me is the eyes, and I hand cut. Is this plotted?

 

[marcwatts]

nope, I used an exacto blade and cut with the contact paper on the disc. I tried to put dots of Elmers glue in the eye for the pupil but I didn't wait for it to dry and then the warm dye let some color bleed. I have used a little dot of hot glue before for an eye and then just flick that off after I'm done dying and it worked well.

Great job man! KCCO

These are awesome! The Walken is cool and the Murray colors are sweet:clap:

My thought though is Bill looks more like Neil Patrick Harris with a beard?

Did you come up with this design? It's hilarious.

Very nice work! I like the shades of color on the Murray. Where do you get the black and white pics to create the stencil (if you don't mind me asking)?

Walter on a Star Destroyer. I don't know why it got blotchy on his chest. It looks like he's wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

Did this one tonight. My first attempt at multi-color dyes. It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it.

I think the image I used was either from doing an image search of BFM, or from the website thechive.com. I've had it for awhile because I knew it would be a lot of work.

My first try at a clear disc.
I included picture after dip dying and the second after adding red and yellow by hand.

I had another pink disc I kept confusing for this one so I gave it some better ID

 

[fantomhockey]

Here's a few recent one I've done while laid up with a hip injury. Hulk one is for a buddy, orange one is a Gold Fury and Colorado one is a Moonshine Havoc. Both the Fury and the Havoc are in the bag.

The Havoc was my first glow dye and I got so excited near the end that I didn't smooth my remask down all the way but the blue bleed lines aren't too bad and this thing flies like a champion.
