How can I paint really tiny stars?
I am painting a 1/25th scale Wonder Woman, and I need to paint her star-spangled fanny. Does anyone have any ideas for how I might paint stars that small?

I would recommend some 1/72 WWII armor decals. The American stars that go on the fenders of tanks and hoods of jeeps should be about right.fritzthefox wrote:I am painting a 1/25th scale Wonder Woman, and I need to paint her star-spangled fanny.

Second that. There are aftermarket sheets available just with white US WWII stars for military vehicles - works like a charm on large scale figures.Lt.

The other option could be a self-made mask. I know that there are die-cut stencils around at stationary shops, with various shapes, which you could use on tape, but I am not certain about the available sizes - probably too large for your model.
