Custom-printed 1/6 t-shirts?

[Agent47]

Was wondering about the best methods for screen printing in 1/6 scale and who on here does that type of thing. Thanks.

I think the best method would probably be DIY with water based ink, it's pretty easy to do, and I think in such a small scale the ink would be easier to dry.

If you have access to a color inkjet printer and a graphics program, you could probably print an iron on transfer and do it that way. Here's the sort of paper you need:

And here are the instructions:

Just scale the image so it fits on the T-Shirt.

I tried the iron on transfer for a tie and it worked not at all.. I'm trying it again for a shirt but the design covers the entire shirt so im not so sure it's going to work out but we will see...

does anyone know a way to kind of distress it once it's on? I dont want this shirt to have the shiny sheen of the iron on transfer.

Iron-on paper looks like it's worth a shot. Thanks for the info. Wanted this to look like a weathered screen print as well. Imagine heating and crumpling would cause some cracks.
