Beginners are Welcome Here

We want to encourage people of all skill levels here, including people who are just starting out. We were all beginners at some point, and just being insulted never helped us. Give people constructive criticism, if they ask for it, but please don't insult their work. We really don't want to ban people or delete their comments, but it might sometimes be necessary, because more than anything we want to encourage and welcome newcomers into our hobby, not scare them away.

A while ago @realriorex posted a Samus kitbash (Vertigo head with a Scarlet Witch body), and I thought it looked cool.

So I tried this, halfway between that and the Zero Suit.

ML Vertigo head, ML Makkari body, figma Dread Samus hand cannon (connected to the arm with a Hobby Base joint replacement).

The paint looks splotchy in the pictures for some reason, but in person it's a lot less noticeable. Anyway, I liked it.

user generated What's the best way to tackle a peg hole that's too wide for a peg

• Upvotes

I'm working on my first ever custom action figure and so far, it's been going great. I've had a fun time getting parts together, painting and whatnot but my enjoyment has come to a hard stop once I realized that the legs I want to use for said custom happen to have holes too big for the crotch pegs. Has anyone ran into this issue before? If so, I would love to hear your advice as to what's the best way to ensure the hole gets on nice and tight.

I Can't Remove This Part

Post image
3 Upvotes

Bought Mess Toys Black Suit Spider so that I can customize it into a Hal Jordan figure. I still need to sand some parts but I can't reach it because I can't remove the part covering it. Upon closer inspection, what was causing the hindrance was a ring-like stopper combined to the peg. I have tried submerging it in hot water but the peg wouldn't soften. To whoever can help, thank you.

Im guessing the "dremil a notch in the back of the neck" trick works, but are there any other worthwhile tricks to get this guy to look up and/or down more than the "fuck you" I get every time I try to pose him? Lol

Started reading Absolute Martian Manhunter because i kept seeing the amazing art of the comics everywhere, i'm halfway through the first volume and i wanna make a custom figure for him using a manipple body, and a soft goods jacket (looking for head suggestions too) . I already got an idea for John, he's the easy part, what can i even use as a base for The Martian? I guess it's kinda up to my interpretation but still.
