    Doc Samson

    Hi,
    What does everyone think of my custom Doc Samson figure?

    Doc Samson is a blonde Conan head on a CTVT body with CTCT clothes (modified by me).

    For his hear, I first attempted to use a green fabric marker to change its colour, but even after a lengthy period of time the green continued to rub off when touched. I then attempted to use green fabric dye from my local dollar store. It was a bit messy, and mostly washed out but it appears to have stopped the running and he is still left with green hair.

    I hope you like him.

    I think it came out very well, is it possible to try another coating of green dye unless your satisfied with the result?
    Just in time for St. Patrick’s day, thanks for sharing.

        Thanks... That was after two dye sessions... the problem is you need to rinse the hair afterward or his hair become very brittle (it even still is but not as bad as it was with the dye left in)... it washes out to that shade but I think he works.

          Have you tried Rit dye? Works better on plastics.

            Nice Job. I have never dyed hair so I have no sage words of advice, but overall I like the look of the figure. Nice work.
