wrist bands, elbow pads ect...

[NEW CASTLE HiTMEN]

What do you guys use for wrist bands and elbow pads? I have tried painting them on but what a pain.

I use my decals...you should too...

I use decals as well. I bought an Alps printer about a year ago and it's been fun to use for wristbands, shoe decals, etc.

The guys in this hobby who do decals are great! Support them! I didn't buy the printer to get into the business, I just found myself doing too many "teams" even though I only wanted a few guys from it. So this way I can do a Barry Sanders Oklahoma State without having to buy or do a whole team. It allows me that flexibility.

Wristbands is pretty straightforward. Elbow pads I'm interested in seeing as I haven't done those yet.

I use a combo of paint and a team decal to do elbow pads

Decals are great for these types of jobs but if you don't have em here is a little trick, I can't take credit for it but I just took a bit further, Reg turned me on to a product called Pactra Trim, its used by RC hobbyist to stripe RC cars, plane, boats etc, etc, but it works great for EF figures as well, when Reg hipped me to the stuff he was using it for chinstraps ( this stuff makes excellent Chinstraps, If you don't have the Hot Joints from D. Jennings) but since it comes in other colors ( pics Below) and each roll has different size strips you can easily make some colored wristband that look real, plus since the stuff is alredy adhesive you can wrap around the figures wrist tightly, dab a little crazy glue on the seam and pow instant and professional looking wristbands, now for elbow pads you can use some small amounts of milliput on the elbow area once the milliput dries connect the created pad with a small peice of Pactra Strip and paint the pad whatever color you chose. Try it I think with your creativity you can do this easy.
