#figure customization

Al’verde Mayday! 🌻

My first attempt at building a custom figure is essentially complete. I needed an emotional support Mayday, and since none are available commercially, I had to bring him to life myself. He’s built on a plain 1:12 Black Series clone figure (6” tall), with resin printed wrap/cloth/leather straps and hand painted. Of course he wouldn’t have been complete without his beskar’ta pendant, so I scratch built one for him. ♥️

I'm normally not someone who customizes figures but I got this racist appearing Avdol figure as a gift that I was not going to put up without fixing it 😅

I've never done this before so please be kind, I will not share the original figure but you can find it yourself online.

I changed: painted all silver pieces, the red shiny bits, made the gold more vibrant, his tassel to blue, his scarf to orange, added slightly lightened palms, and repainted his entire face.

I used this image as a reference:

It does seem like the figure was supposed to be his manga version? But the original colors were no way close to the Manga version as we're closer to the anime version and I was not going to repaint that whole coat.

So now I can put this figure up in my shelves without cringing!

Here's my new Stardust Crusaders/mostly just Jotaro shelf!

Had to start Atton over since the power of the force 3.75" figures are taller than the Attack of the Clones figures (I think he was taller than the current 3.75" figures as well). But I'm already farther along than I was. Milliput is a challenge to work with since it's a lot firmer than the clays I'm used to. I've decided that as it gets too firm to work with, I'm going to try to make a gizka with the leftovers to terrorize Atton.

yaayyyy i finished my t rex !

she's a modified hammond collection tyrannosaurus with a custom paint job and sculpting on the face, back, and underbelly. i smoothed/flattened the back and widened the main body as much as i reasonably could. now she much more resembles a real life rex!

i added lips, head ornamentation, and large scales to the face. i think the head crests/horns are a bit much and i would definitely have done them different had i not sculpted this almost a year ago, but i still really like how they look.

i would have liked to cut the feet to be much smaller, but because its an older hammond figure with infamously loose joints, i thought the added weight from the apoxy would be too much for the stability so i didnt want to risk it. if i did this again with a more recent figure with tighter joints id definitely be able to make them smaller though! just more ideas for the future.....

Hey so I was able to complete a project for the holiday that I’ve been wanting to do forever. When I was a wee Bat, around five or six, and absolutely HORSE OBSESSED, my grandfather built and gifted me this barn for a Xmas gift to keep my model horse toys in. This year since Lauren and I got our own apartment, I had the space to display it. When I got older, and slightly less horse obsessed, I had plans to turn this into Santa’s reindeer barn. I picked up 4 flocked reindeer figures (Because I didn’t think I’d be able to get all 9 done before the holiday), and did a bit of surgery, making their antlers more correct, and posing each one a little differently to make them more dynamic. The plain white deer was how they looked before, and then what they looked like after. I also made their tack, including hand tying every mini jingle bell to their harnesses x.x

I've made a little jacket for Loki ! It's not perfect, but I like the color better than his plastic factory jacket. And the fabric makes him look a bit cooler !

JASON TAKES MANHATTAN NECA COMPLETED!!

No matter what his joints will remain green, but he looks good none the less! I love how jet black his outfit looks and how well it contrasts with that weird yellow mask. Sure his chevrons aren’t perfect but that’s a hard thing to do on a small space!!  It’s hard to tell cause I didn’t get close shots but his skin is a very mottled grey with a few open wounds. I wanted to add some green in there like he has in the movie on his forearms waist and neck, but I couldn’t find my green until it was too late... ohhh well... Just look how different he looks compared to the original look of my base NECA!! But anyways, I am so happy I could make this happen since again basically zero merch for part 8 exists (I own a pin of his gross melting face but other than that there’s only a few fan made items and a keychain of his mask, which I have that too lol) He’s goopy and slick looking just like his movie self <3
