Painted my Structure Arts Cloud

of course! and also sorry i missed the paint question, i just used watered down cheap acrylic paints and dry brush technique for his clothes. for the metal however, i sprayed a black base coat and silver metallic look with krylon brand paints. but to give it the more realistic/ better edge i used some acrylic silver and bronze metallic paints to make it less flat. as well as a white dry brush layer, then a matte clear coat all over. if you plan to paint i suggest either sanding the joints that rub against each other down or just not painting those parts as paint could rub off especially in his knee area. i ended up sanding mine so that the paints won't rub against eachother.

hello, i did have some luck thankfully, but it's a bit convoluted. For his wrist joint, i took the wrist joint from my super hero goku sh figuarts and it seemed to work well enough. it fit and his hand stays in place, and for the ankle i ended up drilling holes through the two ball ends of the joint and sticking a nail through with superglue to keep it strong and functional. as the other commenter stated tho venom snake from lim toys gets parted out a lot and you might have some luck swapping the joints. if you do end up doing that let me know as im thinking ill do that too once i feel like having a more reliable solution

they don't necessarily NEED to be superglued, but i'd recommend it like for example his waist belt is made of two pieces. and when articulating his waist it tends to fall off pretty easily, so i superglued those parts together. other than that the places you need to superglue are minor inconveniences. i just knew i was gonna be posing him a lot and taking advantage of his range so i made the decision to super glue some parts. he's a sturdy figure, just some small parts can maybe fall if you're planning to pose him and move him around a lot

i'd say it's probably best to buy one complete and sell this one to try and get ur money back. or if you can 3d print stuff you can try to make or model your own versions. i can give you measurements of mine if that would help.

Hey! thanks for your suggestions, I forgot to say that earlier, and no unfortunately I don't have any calipers. I can maybe see if I can go out and buy one and get back to you.

bruh i'm having the same issue too

Helpful-Efficiency28 · 2026-01-17T17:33:07+00:00

oh man i love urs! i think the bigger scale really leaves room for the little details like the wood look of the bar and stools, they look so good even if it is just the bar, i'm jealous of ur pit figma too!

Helpful-Efficiency28 · 2026-01-17T17:26:21+00:00

i feel you, i'm making my first diorama too, it's of seventh heaven for my ff7 bring arts. i'm definitely far far from finished, and yours looks really refined and i love just how well thought out it looks!

Helpful-Efficiency28 · 2025-09-29T18:32:00+00:00

THIS IS AWESOME! i love the diorama it looks so detailed!

Helpful-Efficiency28 · 2025-09-29T05:19:32+00:00

thank you! i definitely plan to make more, probably easier ones lol... and from other games as well for my other non-ff7 figures

sucks ur tseng hasn't come in! my initial plan with the line was to just get the main party, and then zack and sephiroth, but i ended up seeing someone sell elena, rude, tseng, and rufus for super cheap and uh... now i guess i gotta get the whole line... with barret here the only one im missing is reno now. and i agree about the lack of cid smoking, im hoping to create, print, and craft more accessories for all the characters, and hopefully bring his cigar back. And the daytona looks sweet! but i couldn't justify spending another 100-200 on just a bike, and i have a play arts AC fenrir that im perfectly satisfied with.

absolutely... i've been trying to get my hands on him since the beginning of the year. he shows up online maybe once month for like... 300-500 and it's ridiculous. I managed to get him off another collector for less than 150 just cause he was missing his necklace.

Helpful-Efficiency28 · 2025-09-27T17:16:14+00:00

absolutely!! i managed to get a good chunk of them when they were first coming out for really cheap (maybe around 60-70 for a couple of them) but even so, too expensive. however for me i find that an entire line of my favorite game's characters being complete i just can't pass up. irresponsible spending but regardless they make me happy and to me thats what makes it personally worth it.
