Thank you, ARBCO, appreciate your stopping by and many thanks for the kind words brother. This is a great community and community (in any form really) to me is very important. Your Maverick looks superb and let me say that there's more work involved (3D printed/painted parts) IMO vs. the time I put into mine. I personally don't consider paint the main criterion in judging someone else's work but then again that's just me. Thanks again!
I used the the flattening method. I bought a silicone cooking sheet b/c green stuff won't stick to it, put the green stuff on it and then roll it will a rolling pin until desired thickness. I then use an exacto to cut my desired shapes. I've used it several times now on several of the customs I've posted. Works great! Really appreciate it. Of course I'm always here to help if I can.
I'll be away from the forums for the most part for at least a few weeks. If you're a fellow customizer, I'll try to catch up on your stuff when I get back, but keep at it!
Thanks man. Got a couple of other lines I'm going to work on and then I want to revisit MOTU with Stinkor and Fisto. I know odd choices but I think they would be really fun to make.
That armor is incredible! I do that technique, but I'm going to order a silicon baking sheet so that the green stuff won't stick at all. I haven't tried the bent plastic one though. I'll have to give it a shot.
Yes same here. I have to use water constantly. My biggest issue is it wanting to stick to my sculpting utensils when I'm trying to carve details etc. I've learned lots of tricks with it like cutting the shapes etc before putting it on the figures and sanding really helps once it dries. I'm always interested in learning new tips and tricks. So, any ideas are welcomed. I'm going to buy some silicone based sculpting tools as well as a metal set I've been looking at to see how they work out.
Hey man, thanks for reaching out to me with the Friend Request and IM. I am not as active right now with my customs, though I do have a few that were recently worked on/completed; I have just been lazy and not photographed them yet. I have a ton of ideas for upcoming figures, but just need to get off my butt and start making them. Soon, hopefully, I will present some new stuff! Until then, take care, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
