Raph commission, before and after. Bro is working on that chasm

Two of them together is too much for the small area I take pics in 😂 I really like how his chest bandage turned out

"Shelldon? Open the floodgates..."

I have some pics I never posted of the Giant Rise turtles I repainted several months ago! Here's one of my favorite Donnies, complete with Shelldon accessory!

Don't worry Donnie, I'm sure Scarlet Witch is only referring to her universe's mutants... I hope. 👀

Here's Dee from my other post next to some official funkos. He's sculpted by ChocolatePyrus on Thingiverse.

I'm a little late (as I am for most things 😳) , but here's this funky little guy to help open the floodgates!

Sculpted by ChocolatePyrus on Thingiverse

Sorry for poor lighting, took these pics at 6:00am, lol

If not cryptid, then why cryptid shaped...?

Finished pics to be later posted on the 🦋 app and here on tumblr (pending owner final approval lol)

BIG thanks to ChocolatePyrus for uploading this Donnie funko to thingiverse!: tinyurl.com/3uz2tsj7

A couple side projects I've been working on, while I'm waiting for the c0mms to dry and cure...

Mini/brief tutorials for Raph's shell and plastron are on my X/Twitter

Please excuse the messy work on the Donnie, he's a demo I'm testing colors on

In this house, it doesn't matter how tiny the turtle is.

They all get a mani pedi 😤

Part 3 - Priming (For covering the skin color (ie, for an oc))

If you want to change the skin color (such as for an OC turtle), you need to start with a blank slate by covering the original color.

[Please note that no matter how you prepare and protect the figure, the joints in the arms and legs will always scrape away your paint and reveal the original plastic sooner or later in those areas.]

If you still want to continue...

You'll need: A can of white spray primer (Mr Hobby's Mr Base White 1500 or Citadel's White Scar work well. Citadel products are found in most model/hobby shops)

Arrange your figure in a t-pose, lay it on newspaper or paper towel and, IN A WELL VENTILATED OR OUTSIDE AREA, spray the figure in light sweeps from side to side, from about 10-12 inches away. You do not want to coat the entire figure all at once; you want to let it dry, and apply thin coats until the figure is eventually covered. Spraying too much too fast will cause the primer to run down and 'flood' the details.

If you flood your model, it can be a difficult and lengthy process to remove the primer. Solvents used to dissolve and wipe away the paint can sometimes melt or disfigure your toy...

If you want to practice first, try it on a cheap toy or figure from the dollar store (You could always paint that, too!). Use extra patience with this step.

Also, always read the safety instructions on the can before using any sort of spray and use breathing protection, like a chemical rated respirator when recommended.
