Here's a template/base of the OP Banner, if anyone wants to make one with the cutting board motif!

Hope Everyone had a nice Easter

Are NECA’s good for custom fodder? There’s a lot clogging up my local Ross.

Yes actually, i must confess i often buy necas for their accessories, though i've heard they need to be warmed before being disassembled because they are so stiff and prone to breaking

That's rad anon! if i may make a suggestion, get some tamiya putty and sand it after it cures so that there's no gap in the middle of the table!

Very nice, you are putting that printer to use. Is warping a huge issue with resin? Bet it doesn't really matter on stuff like bottles and skulls, but on those large rectangular furniture? This is my only concern when it comes to resin. I want to get a printer this year, still a bit afraid of all the hussle with post-processing.

I printed myself the bottom hull of my tank, and a little stand to finally see how big it actually going to be, well... it's quite big.

Yeah, if theirs no structural support, it will warp over time, especially when the temperature changes.Most of the stuff i can live with, like furniture,but anything flat and thin like a paper will warp unless you can add like, a cross beam section to it like in pic.

Also, in the process of saving up for my own Bambu A1 off Amazon, but in the meantime Shortstack-anon is testing out some designs in FDM for me. I’m going to try and start making FDM-compatible figures and parts once I get my own printer, and hopefully I can rework my current figures on Cults to be FDM-compatible.

Pic related is the preliminary parts of a project I’ve had on the back burner for almost 10yrs now. Still can’t go all-out working on it, the commission takes priority, but hopefully this will be my first figure made entirely for FDM. And no, this isn’t another fat woman, the subject is just built…differently.

Is there any way to determine to precise color shading I need for something?

This is barely a custom but I like it enough to post. For being 11 bucks these Chain Chomps just make me stupid happy for some reason. Like it's so damn simple. I've bought 100+ dollar figures that haven't made me smile like these things. If I see more I may pick up another lol. Anyway I decided to make Bowser his Chain Chomp weapon from Super Mario RPG.

Yes but it might take a while since it's quite literally something they teach in artschool, it's quite literally called "Color Theory", there's some youtube videos explaining it, but if you want a best experience look up warhammer turorials and just follow the gist of them

>>11758563
For 11 yeah it's a cool little thing. There's probably a much better way to make a Bowserish handle for it. That was just my slapped together thing.

>>11758326
They give extremely homosexual energy, making it as in-game accurate as possible. Good work.

>>11757315
awesome stuff anon
>>11757392
love seeing the progress on this. that does look big kek. guessing it'd need a slight upsize to fit characters in it.

In the game those tanks are mostly tankettes operated by one man. Current size allows to put a driving seat in and all, but I decided to not do it, as you would not see the driver anyways. I kinda sacrificed it for the articualtion. Tower is really heavy, it's gonna require a massive ratchet slide.

I really need to thin out the final version, this one is going to weight around 2kg. It's 1,3 kg already.

oooh been a while

I have a nagging question, as I look over a lot of blank figure bucks that are rarely the size/build I want, let alone the color:
how do you paint joints? Like, you can't, right? is this a job for dye? Is there such a thing as surface dye stain that resists being rubbed off by joints, but doesn't require the whole 'boil it in a pot of water' thing?

>>11757407
shit, that is good to know.
>>11758134
it's so weird they're FINALLY making the toys I wanted as a kid, but I'm just going 'eh, i don't really need mario and sonic characters anymore'
but they're actually good toys now. The classic designs and everything, not always the new shit.
>>11759083
I bet there's a ninja turtle weapon somewhere, perhaps Slash's knife with the blade broken off, that would work here.

>>11759883
You can paint joints but you have to sand them extensively to avoid paint rub. Using a base figure cast in a desired colored plastic is the best way to go. Outside of that option dyeing is the only way to go. It doesnt rub off, it's effectively permanent, and it's the least cumbersome way to repaint a base.

>>11760174
ahhh essentially make the joints too loose without paint, then paint them. That's smart. is it usually easy enough for bucks to be disassembled?
I wonder if anyone makes like, dyeing markers.. with enough overflow that you can let them seep into hard-to-reach cracks.
Well anyway thank you. I have a lot to think about if I ever get that far.

Got a question annoying me for a while:
I like the Wind Toys 1/12 base body for his shoulder proportions and amazing ab crunch, but I've wanted to swap its crappy gummy hands and the entire hip/leg assembly that can't swing forward and up properly out for a Romankey's wrist joints and hands and hip/leg assembly.

Is this possible?
I want to know before blowing some cash on this attempt or risking breakages.

I bought Nancy for the female civilian body that wouldn't be as out of scale as most everything else is with McFarlane's shit. The head popped off pretty easily after applying some hairdryer heat on it. But I don't intend to take apart her body, although I do fucking hate the painted panty hose on her legs and the overall beige-ness once you try other heads on her.

Some Mattel wrestling figures also make good cheap civilian bucks. But I am only fucking with clothes and accessories, hands and heads, not taking the bodies apart. Yet.

The two taller figures are both Mattel WWE, the make was also from Ross, I think $4.99? Female from Target (online only but still available for $12.99). Just ordered another when I wanted a ML my local stores just never seemed to stock and needed to something else to hit free shipping. She's been great for that but a PITA to stand. It takes museum putty sometimes.

>>11757315
>>11757316
Looks awesome. I would buy one from you if they were reasonable and I am sure people too lazy would pay like $30-50 for just the table. Some guys sell things like that bar background and pool table for like $200-300.

>>11760733
Hard to say unless someone had both figures and are brace enough to try it in the first place.

>>11761352
this is truly the hardest thing about figure customizing.. there's no standards or tolerances.

>>11761352
Damn. Does anyone at least have images of a Romankey body disassembled into its components so I could get a good grasp of what I'm looking at for the hip section?

2026 AI powered Google is, yes, a dumpster fire.
DuckDuckGo, even though it's largely BING powered, and you have to disable the AI option, can find you what you need.

Anon >>11761837 will be lucky if the 50 people who wonder into a /toy/ thread over the course of a month who might coincidentally wonder into /cg/ and who might coincidentally be on a computer that has their own or saved disassembled bucks of ANY brand are highly remote.

A decent browser search would at least get them a little further a little faster.

>>11762521
Not in my experience. and anyway google sucked since they started letting people pay for their spot in line instead of actually indexing things properly. if anything, AI improved it slightly.
I really doubt if anything this obscure would ever get you results. also anon is not a 'them'

how hard is flesh tone matching if you redo everything?

>>11760237
>ahhh essentially make the joints too loose without paint, then paint them. That's smart. is it usually easy enough for bucks to be disassembled?
The sanding just eliminates any potential for future paint rub to occur. If you're willing to take a rubber mallet and a flatheaded screwdriver to the seam of most action figures after heating them up, most torsos should give.

>>11762852
ah, so not easy..
well my point is, in order for that to make sense, you're saying that, without paint, they would now be much looser. having more space in between the joints.

I haven't done it myself but some guy I bought some suited Marvel Legends for customs (no heads, no hands) also tossed in the legs, the long coat (without the sleeves), and some other similar pieces that he probably hasn't been able to sell as fodder and doesn't really have enough to dump as an actual lot.

Enough people do it that it can't be that hard. I'm going to try it myself, to take apart the bottoms, sleeves, torso, etc., for the first time once I look up some videos or go through the archives here.

But I'm assuming the same tried and true methods of hot water, blow dryer heat, patience and elbow grease will get me somewhere. And if not, that's why I am starting off with some crappy wrestler bodies that were essentially free.

>>11762915
yeah exactly
I'm a lot more comfortable just cutting and carving into figures than I am trying to split them apart, and hopefully sometimes that can accomplish the same thing.
