Whatโ€™s on the workbench, /toy/?

Sculpts, castings, original plushies, 3D prints, dioramas, mods, kitbashes, and repaints 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, and Sozai-chan/kun 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)

What do you think of this new style of Banner? sorry if your image didn't appear this month, i lost many pictures since my pc died, please share more so that i might add them to the OP next time

Created a glow-up version of the vintage New adventures He-man. It's really mostly a kitbash and some added sculpting for the hair. I used the better legs from the Battle punching version of He-man, the head from Tartarus and the ponytail from the AOA ML Sabretooth. I also repainted the armor and helmet to look more shiny.

Working on another paleo-figure: a 1/12 scale articulated Lycaenops. I was surprised how small these dudes were given how big the original Kenner JP Lycaenops is compared to the human figures (it's closer to Inostrancevia's size at that scale!).

I'll be placing an order for it on Sculpteo to be printed in PA11 food-safe SLS plastic sincestuff is cheaper and has a better surface-detail when ordered 'polished' than the HD SLS Nylon I used to order stuff in.

This is the arm of my Furay Planet Veteran William. I guess I wasn't careful with the
hairdryer or something.

Is the risk of fucking it up even more worth taking, or can the figure still work ok like this? If I have to fix it, how?

Nah, hairdryer can't do it. You would melt the entire thing before this can happen. It is simply a missing spot during molding, where plastic wasn't injected fully. It happens, even with stuff like Lego. This is the brick I got in one of my sets. Been collecting for years, only happened to me once. They did send me a replacement. Your figure should work just fine.

>>11465732 (OP)
Oh hey, two of my works (Midna and chubby body) made it to the OP! Thanks anon!
I need to make some minor revisions to that body and print it, actually. I've learned a lot from making Midna so I'm sure there's a lot I can do to improve it, mainly in the joints. I also might make an optional one-piece lower torso, which will nix the separate pelvis overlay at the cost of a little range for a more seamless sculpt for those who prefer that.
Speaking of, in today's episode of ADHD-driven spontaneous projects I've actually been working on making a Shinji! Gonna try and make the plugsuit and a nude version (blame my fujo friend) which will also work as a generic base body for male customs.

Thanks anon! Greatly appreciated. I've had a lot of success with Resione Tough 74 and TH-BJD (same resin, different colours). Going forward I'm going to be designing my figures to be 100% printable rather than relying on aftermarket joints, for what it's worth.

I've been meaning to try Tough 74 or their BJD one. I have a BJD resin from a brand called Funcrecol I will test out first. Buying loose joints whether they be Figma or Revoltech type is hard to do outside of Japan. Options are too limited and it's more expensive.

>Going forward I'm going to be designing my figures to be 100% printable
How are you planning to manage the joints? Two pieces that snap fit together intended for use with a resin like Tough 74 or BJD?

Yep! Already had success with ball-sockets and pegs; my Midna design also used 1mm wire to pin the hinges just 'cuz she's so small but aside from the wire she's pure resin. Only thing I will say is I've found dimensional accuracy isn't perfect with the stuff so peg sockets often require drilling out to make things fit, but it's not a massive problem. Joints held by tension (like clips and ball-sockets) seem to be fine though.

Cool, looking forward to it! I've exchanged files with people for small things that rely on super accurate dimensions and I find that each person's printer settings, cleaning/curing process and times, etc can affect things anyway so people just have to tweak things themselves in most cases.

I do resin, so you pretty much have to print parts separately and assemble after processing. FDM can do print-in-place but IIRC it only really works for low-friction/free-moving parts like those flexy toys that are all over every single 3D file sharing site ever.

Thanks. I do 3D modeling and I just bought an A1 Mini during the sale to try my hand at 3D printing little figs. I'm trying to find decent resources on modeling for figures specifically for printing, but I'm running dry here. Best I could do is to just find a design already out there and examine it, but I was hoping there would be some kind of hobby documentation.

I am just getting into this stuff.. One I have a base body for, I would appreciate people spoonfeeding me two little things
1) what's the cheapest way to get affordable styrene pieces to make a base skeleton for something, e.g. i'm detaching the head and giving it a long neck, which would be cool if it was flexible. all the styrene parts I can see are tiny tiny thin rods and thin sheets. I feel like I'll have to settle for some discolored old legos who don't stick together well anymore anyway

2) among these base bodies or 'bucks' I see mentioned in the OP, what would anyone recommend for a male character in the 7.5-inch range with a slightly exaggerated heroic build? and are these types of things disassemblable, so you can paint the joints properly? because otherwise it seems like that would always leave visible unpainted joints.

I can go into more detail and show project sketches if anyone really cares. they didn't care in TMNT thread

Goddamnit, I can't tell if I fucked something up or if Shinji's TV proportions are just that weird; I was following the Settei as closely as I could but the knees seem too low and the arms too long. Tempted to rework him to have less accurate but more normal proportions, 'cuz this looks kinda dreadful.

Kek, thanks. And yeah, I think you're onto something. Some designs look great in 2D but require adaptation to look good in 3D and Sadamoto's rail-thin characters are among them. Will definitely do some heavy revisions. Good thing I kept a file with the booleans unapplied!

it's in my limited experience that sometimes limbs have to be too long in order to look good while bent, and the smaller the scale, the more true that is. Hence the Neca movie TMNT in 7-inch scale having much longer legs than the massive quarter-scale ones

but if I might do a little overlappy here to help you.. I'm more of a 2D artist, but it looks to me like you want
>bigger head
>wider shoulders
>a straight torso without hourglassing
>same size upper arms, and hands, shorter forearms
>lower crotch
>slightly shorter, thinner thighs
>slightly longer shins with higher knees
>slightly larger feet

iduno if this helps but i was in a draw-y mood, this is pretty rough and again, i have zero figure experience, so maybe there's a reason for a V-shaped ab crunch? but it seems to me that should be a waist swivel and a horizontal line for a male.

If Figmas are doing their own thing, that makes sense. They tend to pick a sorta style and run with it.

Is 'green stuff' hobby putty good for action figure kitbashing or is there a better way to 'add' on-to a fig.

So I have HEARD that apoxie has a better finish than green stuff which in turn has a better finish than milliput.

I would love to hear some firsthand accounts of waterweld, kwikwood, and plasticweld since those are mentioned in the OP.
I would also love to know how well silicone putties work, like if you had a bendy-wire rubber tail on something, could you legitimately add onto it? I have to think no.. and at least it'd be really hard to paint.

>kwikwood
Brittle and lightweight, but has a very fine grain for sanding/carving once fully cured and bone-dry. With a hobby knife and varying grades of sandpaper you can make some intricate details into it, then make a mold of the piece to recast in more durable epoxied or resins.
When mixed: 15min of working time to get it into the basic shape you need starting off like peanut butter but a little thicker. Good time to texture with stippling, using rubber stamp-like impressions, etc.
Becomes more solid after the 15min mark with about 3min of pliability before stiffening.
Initial cure: 2hrs at room-temp, colder air takes longer. It will still be moist and sanding it will produce poor results. Good time for carving out chunks of unneeded mass.
Bone-dry in 36-48hrs, dependent on your areaโ€™s humidity and season. Will sand very fine, carving out tiny etchings or details will be possible now.

>>plasticweld
Essentially a white version of greenstuff (when mixed itโ€™s a pale blue, cured itโ€™s off-white). Itโ€™s softer than greenstuff comparatively, but still has flex and give like softer plastics used in things that need to grip a ball or peg end. A little weaker than greenstuff structurally, and sands well. Carving it is easier than kwikwood but boy oh boy is it soft when the blade pokes into it. Best for casting soft parts like pop-on heads (think ML, Black Series, etc), and potentially usable for thin accessories like Figma hair parts.

15min working time once mixed, dense peanut butter-like consistency. Good time to add texturing like stipples, hatching, etc.
Becomes firm after 15min. Roughly 3min pliability window for final touches.
2hr cure time. Afterwards can be sanded and carved. Will be much softer than kwikwood.

>>waterweld
Essentially Apoxy. When cured itโ€™s dense and very strong, like a more durable chalk. Can be sanded, drilled, and machined. Itโ€™s also water-tight (intended use is for patching leaks in roofs and boats).

>contโ€™d

5min working time before curing begins. Curing time of 1hr.
Sanding requires power tools, very dense and fine grain.


When using either of these epoxy putties to make a casting in a silicone mold, powder the inside of the mold liberally with baby-powder/talcum powder, then pour out the excess powder without touching the inside surfaces of the mold. This will greatly reduce the occurrence of air bubbles getting trapped between the mold and the epoxy putty, preventing malformed castings.

oh i hadn't even thought of how flexible material would need to be for accepting a ball.. do you just mold stuff with the ball inside and let it form its own socket?

also neat! thank you. if Waterweld's cheaper than Apoxie then... hmm.
Wait you can use a silicone mold for putty? i would think it'd just flex as you pressed the stuff into it.

Do not put a ball into a putty socket without powdering the inside of uncured epoxy first, otherwise it will adhere to the ball end.

Well, I put in a bid on a cheap Super7 Rocksteady, as far as I can tell that's the only remotely beefy enough build for what I'm going for, at the scale I want. 7.5 inches with a broad, muscular build is hard to find. But I might well lose the auction, so more suggestions would be appreciated.
Also what is with ebay, nobody answers my inquiries anymore.

>trying to find decent resources on modeling for figures specifically for printing
Not really any different than modeling anything else, except before you export files you want to make sure everything is water tight since models will need to be for printing. Get the 3D Toolbox add on for Blender if that's what you're using and use the 'Make Manifold" feature before exporting or through the modeling process to help

>>11473653
>7.5-inch range buck with a slightly exaggerated heroic build
That's a bit of an uncommon size. But some companies like Neca make things that are scaled for 7", or look at figures that are 6" scaled but just oversized bodies like Venom, smaller Hulks, Blanka, etc.

> are these types of things disassemblable, so you can paint the joints properly?
Figures from all manufacturers are made differently. Pvc softens with heat while other plastics like abs and pom do not. 95% of the time, you can't fully disassemble a figure at the joints easily. You'll have to do some sort of cutting of dremeling to get things apart but then you'll need to do all the re-sculpting an repairs later. Just try to dremel and sand down contact point in/around joints as much you can without doing damage.

Is it that you're coming into it at ground level asking for help on absolutely everything under the sun before even beginning? If you were part way through the process and just had a question on one specific step or two, I think people would be more willing to help. And quite honestly, the customs beginners make their first year or two don't turn out well anyway. It just takes lots of practice to get good, like anything else. So I can see people not being thrilled to take a ton of time to answer the basic questions for someone when there are resources all over the internet

Fair, but I am surprised I didn't get any reaction at all. I am indeed a beginner at figure customizing, but mediocre at robot model kit customizing, and a pretty decent clay sculptor, so I feel ready. I just realized that if I'm going to have this spare Gargoyles figure, I might as well try to make him fit in with something else, and given the unique proportions of this obscure TMNT character, I did a mockup here that seems to work for me

You still disassemble as much as you can without doing damage so you have easier access to parts of the joints when dremeling/sanding. Paint rub is an absolute bitch though, so some people also use joints that are already in the correct colors so they can be left unpainted.

'kay see that's what I was thinking.. if these bodies existed, it'd make sense they'd come in different colors. but I can scarcely find any, and most are in 1/12 scale.
I should also probably get some softer-material putty for that kind of thing, but for now I've chosen projects that shouldn't require floppy stuff.. except maybe his beard braids.. which I think I'll just use cable-ties for.

Why do you need a "blank" body? Just use any other body. There's tons of options from tons of lines. Most figures are just unique heads or a few add on parts and some paint. Why is Mafex Bane perfect yet you are also looking for a blank body? Bane has tons of sculpted details.

blank because I would appreciate muscle detail, but other sculpted details are not really a problem either since I'm trying to evoke Four Horsemen's versions of Errol McCarthy's Playmates TMNT designs. Depends on the details. This guy's getting a lot of apoxie either way, but if the skin has something weird like bug armor plating, or the clothes have texture, that's a bonus.

Far as bugman goes I'd say some sort of kitbash between your standard marvel legends thor and maybe an older marvel legends rhino would be the way to go. The standard thor torso already has those built in shoulder spikes, but if you value the tapered silhouette you could always swap out said upper torso for a movie venom. You'd get the necessary lower legs that way too.

Aren't those like 6 inch scale? Thor's not THAT tall.
I hear people talking about kitbashing Marvel Legends a lot, do they use a universal connector or something? I'm surprised you can even get them apart..

and yes, I've looked into Justice Lords Batman because of the arm things and the approximate build. I don't think they made one that size.. and the one I've found only has those arm things as painted detail on a repainted normal Batman. This is gonna be tricky.. but I will keep lookin. The right Venom might just be good on his own.

That Thor's kinda scale-creeping his way into 7 inches. And yes, alot of larger legends share the same torso ab balljoint connector. Hence you could swap in Venom's if you wanted a burlier build for Bugman. Submerging them in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes usually does the trick. You could fairly easily sculpt the gauntlets aswell, but if you want to pull them from an existing figure you're spoiled for choice. The issue would just be scaling them to the biceps. Most armored batmen have that design on their forearms but so does the DCUC Omac and the Marvel Legends Death's Head II

yeah I was sure I'd seen those before. It seems like a common thing, particularly when they're trying to justify regular-Batman's arm blades by saying like "they're a thing certain ninja wear, and he trained with them"
I expected that, like his wings, I would cut those out of styrene sheets for rigidity, then sculpt the bands. Iunno, that's very far in the future if I even do get to it. But thank you for all your help, this is teaching me useful stuff.

Will definitely customize that leftover gargoyles Broadway first, in that case the base body is already perfect, minus some tummy pudge that I think I can slice off.

They're all different. It sounds a lot like you've never disassembled or customized various action figures before so you just need to buy some, start disassembling and messing with them to learn about the various types of plastic used on each, which joints can be taken apart and not, how the plastic from the various companies and lines feels, etc. When customizing there's bound to be parts that don't fit together like you want them to so you have to get crafty. Break out the dremel, super glue, apoxie and just find ways to make shit work.

Well spending months and months asking questions on here without actually jumping and and trying anything yourself will get you absolutely nowhere and just annoy people here. We've seen it with some other people. You've just gotta get some cheap figures from discount stores and practice kitbashing some stuff to get the hang of it and try out various techniques. Go to Ross or Ollies and grab some cheap figures from Hasbro, Mattel, McFarlane, etc and just start practicing stuff

Your TMNT Dragon dude as an oversized 7" scale figure is such a super niche and odd thing man. It's not like you are asking about a standard scale and common body like a hero body type, or something common. That's almost certainly going to have to be kitbashed from many different figures and is not at all a beginner custom. That's like a year 2+ custom after many customs under your belt. You need to work on simple part swaps, simple detail sculpting, disassembly for taking care of joint paint rub, etc. You're stating you're a total noob and wanting to jump to a level 8 out of 10 custom as your first foray.

I'm relatively confident on that one, I've sculpted enough dragons in sculpey to pull this off. The only rough part is carving out his belly.

the one I was hoping people would have something for was the (far more humanoid) Bugman. and at least being pointed to Venom figures is a great start, I will keep looking for 'em, and Banes, and see if something good shows up.

Also uh, dunno if it was clear, but I made that mockup. took the gargoyle, colored him yella (should be easy, I will sharpie the fucking joints if I have to) and his loincloth red (almost certainly much harder, but eh) took apart his head, simulated sculpting over parts of it (he already has approximately the right brow and ear shapes, just way too small), and- oh I see, I posted the wrong version without the notes and articulation sketches.
I have a bunch of spare balljoint and hinge kits in case anything gives me more trouble, but the neck should be doable I think.

Sharpie never looks good or works well on joints. Or anything for that matter. The red loincloth is going to be hard to do even with paint. Red is notoriously one of the harder colors to get painted nicely. Lego/balljoint/hinges from model kit type things never look good slapped onto a figure that isn't a robot. The smooth surfaces and hard edges are hard to blend and the gaps are always hideous.

I think you just have to start testing things out and seeing that a lot of these things won't work how you're envisioning.

For things like the tail though, there are flexible sculpting compounds like Procreate that will remain as flexible as you want it to be even after curing. You can't sand it too well and you may need to add a touch of latex to the paint to keep that flexible too, but it's another option too. Also, please do not use Sculpey on this. It's a pain to cure, super fragile for statues, much less for figures with movable joints.

I got the exterior done, there are still some areas where I need to focus on, but gonna do it while dividing the model into printable parts, in proper scale.
I'm quite happy with the result, I think it's the most accurate 3D representation of this vehicle, even new offical 3D games and model kits do it wrong.
I want it to be articulated and in 1/12 scale, this means it's gonna be around 40 cm tall.

I wasn't expecting miracles here, but he's a pale cyan so some sharp yellow on top will probably give me a smudge-free dirty-yellow-brown base, and then I can put paint on that.

(Now if we were talking about Bugman's shoulder-mounted spider arms, I was thinking I'd leave ball-hinges visible there, but for an arthropod that's fine)
>compounds that remain flexible
i was thinking about that, but I find it real hard to believe it would A) be paintable (yeah you're right, latex would be the way to go, but even so)and B) actually want to move smoothly with ANOTHER flexi tail underneath it. A lot of Super7s just have immobile tails, so I'm okay with that. I'll flex the tail into place then sculpt around it.. it'll basically just be there as a skeleton, and for connecting to the body.
>don't use sculpey
Indeed! you have to bake that stuff. That's what I used to sculpt statues in, but for action figures naw. I've got some Apoxie just waiting to be used,. Thank you though, if I didn't know that, I might have made that mistake. Me 15 years ago definitely might have.

Might.. actually grab some latex paint for the loincloth, now that I think of it. that doesn't have to flex -much-
I used to have some latex paint, but I sent it all to my daughter, because it sucked for figure/model stuff. I'm all on the Vallejo train now.

fair! Not everyone's going to have as much fun at the pie-in-the-sky stage as I do. At least I'm making progress on selecting a figure. Would be quicker if fucking Mercari and Ebay sellers would actually check their offers and answer questions.

This kind of reminds me of learning to draw. I got so much bad advice back in the day, yet the better I get, the more often I realize some 15-year-old advice I was given was right, and I should have taken it back then, while still knowing exactly why I never could have until now.

Only Japanese sites have those in stock for regular price (about $5-6 US equivalent), but you pay a lot for shipping which sucks. There is a set of knockoffs on Amazon for $15 in black only but the plastic quality is worse and the tolerances are all off so sockets/pegs may need sanding or adjustments.

The only way printing joints that size would work would be if you used one of the more expensive specialty resins like Resione Tough 74 or something similar since that's anti-wear. But I still haven't seen anyone do it. I'm in a discord where someone has mentioned wanting to test it out but I don't think they've done it yet

Not trying to discourage someone from making a custom and being creative, but Figuarts already made one years back. Late-tax is a bit pricey, $135usd-$185usd for used, and >$200usd MISB. Search ebay for 'sadako figure bandai'.

If that's too pricey and/or not fun enough, then consider for the body bootlegs of Figma Archetype She Next, Figuarts Body Chan (the newer ones with sculpted bare feet especially), or even look into the bare limbs and bikini bodies for 30Minute Sisters by Bandai. For hair, you could use black sugru since it's decently flexible when it cures (similar to rubber), oyomaru (like flexible plastic parts), or greenstuff with black paint. Eyes will be contingent on the figure's head you use (anime stylized or realistic proportions). There's a lot of eye decals for anime-proportioned figures/girl-pla but I'm sure there are eye waterslide decals for more realistic eye shapes at 1/12-ish scale. You could also look into getting a parted out head of a figure that fits your needs on ebay, from marvel legends to figma and so on, you'll just need to sift through it all.

This is the one I was referring to. It's clearly modeled after the real Hobby Base joints but the tolerances are all messed up. Some need to be carved wider to fit the halves together, some are a bit loose, and all the posts are slightly different. Some need sanding and extra clean up on the flashing. They are so much worse than Hobby Base joints in every way but its the only easily purchasable ones in the US

I'd be okay with that if they were just cheaper..
I've had no issues yet with the ball joints, aside from losing them because I get the stupid-hands and they're tiny.
I mean I had issues with that project, but that's because the figure I was customizing had PARTICULARLY rock-hard plastic to work with, so a hobby saw didn't even make a dent in it, I had to get out the dremel saw. and the pin vise, same, so I had to use the dremel drill. and boy is it hard drilling a precise hole in the center of like a 7mm piece of plastic

it still came out okay, but that taught me some of the limitations. and the irony is, I'm sure that figure used such tough plastic because the pieces in question were so thin. But because they molded them so badly, I had to do surgery.

I was on vacation in Belgium and found this weird rubber Asterix head in a comic shop. I googled it and found out it came from a hand puppet and never really had a normal body.
I figured I'd use it to make an Asterix doll just like Woody. Used the body of a recent figure I found in a toy store in Brussels that seemed to be about the right size. This is how it turned out.

i used Chitubox, the sliced files are about 1.2 gig in size and clearly the door failed to print, i needed more supports around the window.
As for the supports, they are tuned to my machine,so i wouldn't recommend using any pre-supports as it is, but,just make sure corners and edges are properly supported. I was using AnyCubic's ABS-like grey resin.
Also the model was not meant for resin printing, so the tolerances for the joints are going to change while curing, so sanding is required, but only to attach the walls to the floor.
If your confident in your machine then go for it dude, they're like, 15 hour prints for the larger sections, so its a bit of investment.

the jacket definitely felt like it could come off, to me. I didn't push it hard, but I was able to slip paint underneath it. I bet you could remove it.
For that matter, you could probably putty some sculpted fur onto the pants and crotch area, and restore a more classic look. you'd already be using that for his face, right? since really only the muzzle is like DK.

I hope you mean resin printers, because filament printers(PLA) are awful for fine details or smooth surfaces. All the main brands these days offer pretty equivalent machines that are pretty affordable ($250 or less). Elegoo, and Anycubic are the most popular I think

>any good intro youtube video/documents on how to get into 3d prints
Hundreds of youtubers have very good and educational videos on nearly every 3D printing topic there is. You do have to get a good understanding of how they work, best practices in terms of part orientation, print settings, clean up methods, curing, etc before jumping in and buying one though. But there's endless resources out there for free. For text resource, go find J3D Tech's massive Google doc. He covers nearly every topic, many various issues you may come across, and has created many free files for resin calibration and leveling tests.

Actually things like heads, limbs, and figure accessories will be easier to print than large flat structures like walls. The larger and flatter an object is, the more creative you have to get with bed placement/orientation, the longer it'll take to print, and the more resin you'll use up due to how many supports it'll need.

not that guy, but there's a pretty big aesthetic difference between a leather trenchcoat and a canvas one
additionally, I doubt that trenchcoat would fit, the turtles aren't very tall guys. though their "7-inch scale" is definitely taller than other "7-inch scales"
I have a spare Broadway trenchcoat that I doubt I'll ever use (got that thing for the folded wings and improved head) AND the hat, but that's even smaller.

the cleanup is what keeps me from doing it. the only place I could even theoretically put it is the bathroom, with the fan turned on and the door shut to avoid any UV peekage. because you need a sink, and it's a LOT. and i don't have any space in there.
all that rinsing and... washing.. and using alcohol.. feh.

Yeah maybe the most important thing about resin printing is having a good space for it. Away from living areas, preferably a garage, shed, or basement that's relatively warm year round unless you have a heater in a grow tent. Clean up and all those supplies (IPA, gloves, shop towels, filters, funnels, etc) are a pain, but the results are 100x better than filament prints most the time.

shid, i didn't even know about that part. that's basically out of the question for me. and even if garages and sheds here didn't spend half the year at 100 degrees and half at zero, they certainly never have plumbing

Thansk! Ok I didn't know that there are PLA and resin printers. I just youtube'd some beginner printing like this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZALp4n-O1Y

Seems like people are using PLA printer. As I understand resin is for printing smaller details like headsculpts and minis. For true action figures (like printing joints etc) do people use PLA or resin?

Both types of printers can do the same job, it only really matters on tradeoffs, Details vs Durability, but there are PLA printers that are starting to show promise of fine quality, and there are resins that are tough and resistant now.

Since you mentioned doing face sculpts, your definitely going to want fine detail, that currently you can only get with resin. We already know that resin printers can do large dioramas seen on this post. >>11477489

Definitely do resin printer if you want to print joints. You will likely need to use a special resin with ant-wear properties or else the resin surfaces scraping on each other will get loose quick.

>>11490195
Plenty of people have a grow tent (for weed typically I think) around their printer outdoors, and just turn on a small portable heater in the tent so it keeps the enclosure around 70 something degrees in the colder months when you want to print something.

I think the most telling thing about 3d printing is that the few people who own them could reasonably make things for everyone who wants new figure accessories, parts, etc, even the non-tricky ones, and even make a small profit.. and they still don't. Because it's that much of a pain in the ass.

There must be nylon resin, right? For that matter I think the PLA type can do nylon, just with a fuzzy level of detail. but I'm not sure how much that would matter since joints are typically hidden as well as possible. Though they are also really hard to paint, but that's going to be not in your favor no matter what you do.

what do you need a sink for exactly? im not following, before i got my washing station, i just had a air tight container with 99% isopropyl alcohol that i dipped my prints into, gave it a shake and set to dry. Water is slow to dry, you shouldn't be dumping resin down your drain pipes anyways, and doesnt do as good a job cleaning.

You don't need water and in most cases, it's better to not rinse the parts in water after the IPA. IPA evaporates much quicker and is less likely to leave droplets on the parts when they go into be UV cured.

I want to build some diorama as a background for my figures. I've decided on polystyrene because it's cheap and seems to be easy to work with with just an hobby knife and a blunt pencil. But I wonder what would be the best paint to use for it? While it's more work I would prefere something that's not a spraycan and non toxic so I can do it in my flat. Would normal hobby paint like citadel stuff work on that material? Also once it's dry do I need to put a top coat over it to not ruin my toys by placing them in it?

thats too expensive, use craft store shit, if directly painting onto the foam.

>Also once it's dry do I need to put a top coat over it to not ruin my toys by placing them in it?
I actually layer a bottom coat first, using this technique
https://youtu.be/bR-tgtcuRPg?t=576

>decided on polystyrene
make sure its extruded polystyrene and not EXPANDED polystyrene, expanded is that cheap shit foam packing peanuts are made of, and generally makes a terrible base for dioramas.

regular hobby paint like citadel and vallejo are basically MADE for styrene, yeah.
Topcoating is always good for something that's going to have things scraping against it, so yeah, get yourself a little can of mr. clear or other similar spray, that's cheap. You can still do it relatively easily indoors by placing it all inside a box as you spray, and then maybe stashing it in your shower with the bathroom fan on while it finishes outgassing.
Just as long as you do mean styrene plastic sheets, and not fuckin.. styrofoam
>>11491482
oh what's this? durabilizing bottom coat?

yeah exactly, that's not what you want, and that picture looks ambiguous.

This looks more like....

guys correct me if my knowledge has run out here, but this looks like ~pressed foam board~ aka the kind of thing they occasionally make cheap robot kits out of, where you punch out the pieces, fold them along the pre-scored parts, and connect them to ball joints.
If you can actually just chop pieces out of it, it's too soft, that much is for sure. So yeah I'd say the thin plates of real actual hard styrene. I mean if you can get thicker ones, awesome, but then cutting through them becomes harder. They're not that bad though, basically gunpla material.

Huh, sure enough, this looks like exactly what anon would want to make a diorama out of. I think I was wrong about the initial intention.
But that also means my assurance earlier about ease of painting is not nearly as.. assured. I'll let a proper expert chime in here.

Yeah, the figure is okay for what it is. My biggest gripe would be the missing torso segment clearly visible in the source material. It makes the figure look a bit like the all legs Family Guy meme.

I want to make something like pic related, just a lot more basic. Basically just a red brick wall and a concrete floor. Maybe a wire fence and a dumpster later on. It all seemed to be very easy to make.

So what I need is
>this (>>11491546) foam stuff
>x acto knife (for the details) and a boxcutter to cut the foam into smaller pieces
>craft glue to mix with (acrylic) black paint as a primer (might be cheaper to just get primer tho)

>a brush
