"Dirtying" a figure

[sprytel]

After all the "how to clean up my vintage figure" threads... any recommendations on the best way to make a figure look dirty? Both the clothing and the head.

Ideally, I'd want to be able to give a vinyl head some dirt smudges on the face, and have them stay there for display... but be able to clean it off if/when I choose to.

Put it outside in front of your lint vent.

I don't even WANT to know how you knew that, BK.

chalk pastels. or eye shadow.

I don't even WANT to know how you knew that, BK.

What is more surprising is that you didn't think he would know that.

I used paint... but it's not coming off easily.

Thanks for the ideas. I ended up using Jessica's eye shadow suggestion. They have little brushes with them and everything... it was kinda cool. Hehe.

At the time it seemed to come off pretty easily. Don't know if it will get harder to remove once it has a chance to set, but in the end, I'm not too worried about it.
