>Back to our regular scheduled programmingWhat’s on the workbench, /toy/?Sculpts, castings, 3D prints, dioramas, mods, kitbashes, and repaint are all welcome!Post WIPs, finished projects, ideas, techniques, ask for advice, and most of all, have fun!HELPFUL TIPS:-Invest in a rotary tool such as a dremel for sanding/sculpting, especially a flexible extension tip.-Pin vises for drilling holes can be found at hobby stores like Hobby Lobby and are great for making peg holes.-For soft, flexible parts get Sugru silicone putty and Oyumaru-Hardware epoxy putties such as Waterweld, KwikWood, and PlasticWeld are similar to milliput, greenstuff, and apoxie, can be cheaper some times, and can be found at local hardware stores such as Lowes, Ace, and Home Depot.-Bootleg figures make great custom-fodder, especially if the legit figures are pricey.-Body-chan/kun, Figma Archetype He/She, Romankey x Cowl, and Sozai-chan/kun, Notta Collection bodies are great base bodies for import-style human characters.-For 3D models to use for editing, the following sites are good to bookmark:>cgtrader.com (free and purchasable models)>cults3d.com (free and purchasable models)>models-resource.com (FREE 3D game models)>turbosquid.com (free and purchasable models)>grabcad.com (free and purchasable models)>renderhub.com (free and purchasable models)Been away for a while, thankfully everything should be back to normal!
>>11757267Here'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.
>>11757280Yes 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
Resin printed out a pool table. its a big large, but i think larger is better then too small.
>>11757315everything in this image is resin printed!
>>11757316whats cool is that it actually works, the inside has channels for the balls to flow
>>11757317since the model was really large i had to do the split version, check it out here, its FREE!https://makerworld.com/en/models/149837Use the A1mini profile!
>>11757316That'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!
Forgot if I posted this last thread, but I’’ve started added the armor and clothing to my commissioner’s OC, as illustrated in his source material.1/3 - boots, plate armored shins, and stockings
>>117573512/3 - articulated crotch sash. Final design will be shaped like wavy fabric
>>117573523/3 - chainmail thong (non-castoff)
>>11757353Magnificent... but that can't be comfortable, having metal rings pinching one's pussy...i know i hate when my cock hairs get caught in the zipper
>>11757316Very 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.
>>11757392
>>11757392Yeah, 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.
>>11757362It’s the client’s design, realism be damned.
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.
>>11758134
finally got the Sparda twins looking fresh
>>11757830Yes 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
Made this some time back, what should I do with it?
