Here's some stuff. 6 inch scale Godzilla and Kong 62 are the highlights. The mushroom man is named Fungalar and if you don't say hi to him he'll cry. Also I have by boi Tempus Rex printed as two figures.

I made a bust of Singular Point's Godzilla design, based off that sketch released a while ago:
This design has really grown on me.

Figured I'd post this here as well, Photon Collectibles MUTO set, custom painted by me.

Re: Custom Action Figures Thread
Wow! That paint job looks sick!
Here's another image dump, I did this figure a while back (I think I posted the digital model a few months ago)
My GMK Poster Goji!
And as a little bonus here's something I cooked up last night, the Jaw Titan, from Attack on Titan season 4.

Thank you!!! Fantastic job on that Poster GMK Goji, i really dig how ferocious he looks! Actually you and Photon Collectibles are some of the 3D designers who inspired me to go and order a 3D printer!DirektorSplennic wrote: ↑Tue Dec 22, 2020 3:15 pm Wow! That paint job looks sick!

I decided on a Resin printer since they seem to print a bit smoother and more durable than the (plastic?) spool kind. Ended up going with an Elegoo Mars Pro, since they're aesthetically pleasing and seem to have some preferable qualities over the Photon series. It's coming this Sunday, so until then I have to figure out how to sculpt/slice pieces on Blender and Chitu, fit joints, and get myself familiar with the hardware.

Re: Custom Action Figures Thread
That's awesome I was an inspiration! I need a resin printer at some point. I'm starting to doubt if I can sell anything pla since it isn't nearly as durable as the resin stuff. Just be cautious of touching uncured resin with your bare hands. That stuff is toxic, but obviously the printer's manual will tell you all that._JNavs_ wrote: ↑Tue Dec 22, 2020 9:15 pmThank you!!!

Re: Custom Action Figures Thread
It’s not just the durability. The print quality of resin is just orders of magnitude better than filament printers.
Gotta say I’m a smidge jealous. I want a resin printer and an airbrush so bad. But we bought a new house this summer and boring stuff like getting (very much needed) new carpet, having dead trees removed before they fell on the roof, and buying the kids Christmas presents have taken precedent...

Re: Custom Action Figures Thread
So I can't take much credit here until my paint job on this guy is done but, here's my print out of DopePopes EPIC Titanosaurus model. Scaling on slicer applications are an absolute mess since there is no mm to inch translator, and the mm they use don't line up with the mm you find online. It's super weird.
Anyway, the size of him is completely custom on my part, as you can print out his models in any size (depending on printer size, mine being a Mars Pro). I decided on him being a good head and a half taller since I always remember Titanosaurus as being quite the lanky character. His stats say he's about 10 meters taller than Godzilla too so, I felt a bit comfortable giving him a good bit of height.
What do you guys think?

Re: Custom Action Figures Thread
One of the best decisions I've ever made honestly. A bit of a mess when you first start out, but once you get the hang of it it's like you have your own little elf making whatever you want. I personally use a resin printer since it prints stronger and with less need for a sand-down, but the sky is the limit between Filament and Resin prints.
Added in 2 minutes 3 seconds:
It's funny that whole Titanosaurus cost me $5 in resin, and about $23 from Dopepopes Gambody site for the file.
I'm also printing out his Monster X and Spacegodzilla, but the print times for individual pieces can be incredibly tedious, 12 hours for a pair of legs, 10 hours for a head and 2 arms, etc etc.

I never got my Ender 3 Pro to print stuff properly, even with an upgrade kit. I more or less ended up giving up on it.

Re: Custom Action Figures Thread
Yeah tbh that's why I couldn't push myself to get a filament printer, the printing process seemed very hit and miss without upgrades and internal improvements.Beast Blood wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 12:47 pm I never got my Ender 3 Pro to print stuff properly, even with an upgrade kit.

Resin Printers rely on UV heated resin, which I think is a bit more preferable.

Re: Custom Action Figures Thread
With every print this Mars Pro proves its worth, I think 3D STL files are the future for affordable yet accurate obscure kaiju in the six inch scale honestly. Dopepopes Monster X model head print done, torso currently printing. Outside of some little spots that need some apoxie sculpt, this thing is spot on with the details.

Re: Custom Action Figures Thread
That custom ‘75 update is a massive improvement! Nice job!
You guys are killing me with the resin prints. I finally broke down and bought myself an airbrush last week. A resin 3-D printer is the one other major hobby tool I want but have yet to get.
But I’m also trying to build a home theater in the basement and every dollar I spend on other hobbies is one less dollar I have to spend on that project...
