    Never Paint Another Eye Again?

    I know all about the Easy Eye transfer eyes that you can buy somewhere. Just saw some computer paper that lets you print out your own stick on tattoos. Seems like this might be easier than working with the old water transfer decals. Haven't tried it but just kinda ran across it. Thought this might be a fun way to do tattoos on figures as well as eyes instead of painting them.

      I've been using this stuff for years, but never for eyes.

        Good idea! Painting eyes can some times be a pain in the arse. Where did you find the paper for sale at?

              Hmmmm....

              I prefer painting my own; that way I get a better match for the curvature of the eye. And for tatoos; I use a scriber to carve the pattern into the figure, and then paint it.

                Usually the smallest paintbrush, a steady hand, and holding your breath works. But if that doesn't work this sounds like a good solution.

                  Oh I can paint eyes okay. I used to paint eyes on 25 mm lead miniatures. But this way, you could get them to match better down to the white twinkle dot. Or do colors or shapes for unusual characters. Plus, it might be less likely to flake off when applied to a vinyl head.

                    I tried using the eye transfers for a while but the colour kept coming off in the water, now i use a wooden cocktail stick.
