Current colour next to a doll in the colour he started out in... He's been sealed with Tamiya TS80 to stop any rubbing but I think the plastic has actually gone greeny/blue since I scrubbed his face with hot soapy water and then isopropanol pretty hard to remove the excess pigment that had stuck to it (weirdly this pigment was a browny-red colour - what the heck?!)
Close-up so you can see the uneveness of how the dye took - I think if I'd scrubbed him off more thoroughly the colour would have come out more uniform, but I quite liked this look for the character (think a dirt-covered Labyrinth style goblin)
Rawr!!!
In all I think the acetone idea probably does work - but as MeltedCaramel says I reckon I needed an awful lot more RIT dye in there!
). From reading experiments on dyeing 3D printed dolls it can be useful to dye just bits so you can try different concentrations and times without needing shed loads of bodies!
