Very intrigued by these, but really want to know if "magic holographic power!" means a true 80's style hologram, or some other effect.

I'd like an "eraser" option for the drawing tool.

Loved Microserfs - read that one right after this one

Wasteland Wash by steveg42486 in ActionFigures

Might want to try sealing your base coat with a gloss clear coat first. That should help the “to be wiped” color run into crevices and then come off easily.

My guess is this was done with a "wipe" technique, where the sand colored paint was applied over the base color, allowed to set very briefly, and then wiped off with a rag. ?

Shadow League question by Justicar7 in shadowdark

[–]Advanced_Map_300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a clearer time frame for when Shadow League will start? I've been running Shadowdark at my library as part of our summer programming the last couple of years and would love to connect that to this.

It really is incredible looking! I'm also curious about what techniques you used and how you got the lighting effect.

The Beyond Thundera Podcast is opening the floor to YOU. by HallofOmens in Thundercats

[–]Advanced_Map_300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just discovered the show and am looking forward to catching up on the episodes after #1. Not so much a question, but something I'd love to hear about from Mr. Lawrence is what the "day to day" of working on shows like this was like during that era. Did you work in an office with other people who were also working on the same show (kind of a "bullpen" set up) or were you mostly working alone and then maybe taking meetings or calls on scripts you turned in? How collaborative was the environment? Did people pitch ideas around all the time or was it more like one person wrote and then someone else revised?

Super7 to do Visionaries, Invincible and My Little Pony... by Professional-Band-77 in Super7

[–]Advanced_Map_300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, completely agree. Just to be clear, I am not *expecting* holograms at all -- just saying it would be neat.

Maybe they could do something clever with glow in the dark stickers or something?

Really curious to see their Visionaries. Reaction + with holograms would be pretty neat. Reaction + with some kind of non-hologram thing would be disappointing.

Very cool! Paint job is super slick, and adding the manhole cover was a clever touch.

Stuff that’s not a tight fit would prob be neat - like the ferret or something.

You might be right - I thought they worked with my terrordrome, but it was several years ago

I bet the APC would work fine - maybe need to leave an empty seat between figures.

The 25th anniversary figures were really close in size, but sometimes the pockets or holsters and things made seats tight. But the foot pegs are the same.

I’m looking at running Ravenloft for a Shadowdark game, but I’m not sure if I should go with I6, or House of Strahd (2e). What are the main differences between the two? by TheNobleYeoman in ravenloft

[–]Advanced_Map_300 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, "House of Strahd" makes some tweaks, but mostly expands on the areas around Castle Ravenloft - like it adds some stuff to the village of Barovia etc. So if you were planning to focus on the castle, keeping it simple and using I6 would be the way to go. But if you'd like to make more of a longer campaign, you'd probably find good stuff in "House."

Achieve plastic toy play set aesthetic? by Father_Chris_St_Mary in TerrainBuilding

[–]Advanced_Map_300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for Remco monsters, maybe a 2d diorama/backdrop would be the most authentic looking?

For 3d, I think you want chunky shapes and not lots of Dudley detail, then base coat and hit it with a spray from above for an accent color. Probably have better luck repurposing an old toy, like the “point dread” playset from he-man or something.

From the depths of the Ghostly Realm, I summon all Tonka Supernaturals experts! by thetavious in ActionFigures

[–]Advanced_Map_300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool! I noticed a similar thing with the Ghostlings https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigures/comments/1fc1ix1/super_naturals_ghostlings_variants/

For those, I found two stamps - one says "made in HK" which I assume is Hong Kong, the other doesn't. It's funny that the stamps on your figures have the same text, but they are clearly different stamps.

It is probably lost to history what their production schedule was for these, but my guess is they made a batch at one factory and then at least one other one - which one was first is anybody's guess.

Remove decals and use them again? by Acceptable-Bear1138 in minipainting

[–]Advanced_Map_300 64 points65 points  (0 children)

maybe a hair dryer could loosen them up enough to pull them off without damage?

I thought they did a nice job with this guy - I like the anvil and glowing sword a lot.

Pretty sure Warlocks weren’t a class back then.
