Light up action? I'm there! I'm not feeling the head sculpt with the extra bits on it but this would look awesome in gunmetal with blue lighting.

Quoting myself:
I found that dry transfers while looking good are harder to apply because there's no margin for error. Though the thing is waterslides definitely go better over paint. It sticks a lot better and air bubbles are easier to get rid of.

Anyway here's how I apply waterslides. You need:
small brush
small dish of water
sheet of plastic
tweezers (Tamiya black coated)
decal solution (I use Mr Mark Softer)
scissors (I used Tamiya decal scissors)
soft cloth

Cut out decal close to design. Dip in water and set on plastic.
When decal is loose use tweezers to slide into place. Use cloth to blot excess water without moving decal.
Brush on decal solution making sure to get rid of air bubbles. You only have a very short period to do this, any more and it will destroy the decal.
Leave to dry, preferably overnight.
