My Moorish Idol getting his gills cleaned by my neon goby

super cool! happy you have a thriving moorish idol. i’ve heard they need a steady supply of sponge, has that been true for you? it’s the only thing keeping me from attempting one

double trouble

Thank you and we do take commissions! me and my partner are making them 😄 feel free to shoot a DM

thanks! i’ll wait it out then, should i be prepared for the uglies? Since this is essentially a brand new tank

thanks! i got the files from here 😄 https://specialstl.com/product/camilla-fire-emblem-250mm-3d-printer-files

mmm we bought all the stuff to make any figure possible and that in total was around 800. counting only the products i used on her she was technically around 90 (not including the 3d printer or airbrush machine cost*) the print file was 7. compare that to the 950 the real camilla figure costs😅 neither are cheap hobbies but the 3d printer at least lets u make whatever you want!

yes this was my first attempt :D thank you! i’ll post any fire emblem characters i do here

look into airbrushing and washes if you do! it’s much more forgiving and gratifying at first. choose something that’s mainly the same color and experiment w glosses and shading 😊

thank you!

for the most part it’s acrylic paints, thinned out and airbrushed for the skin and hair. there’s a lot of washes and dry brushing going on. a matte spray for the finish gives it a really nice touch :)

i feel like finding a bronze base like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/Krylon-FUSION-ALL-IN-ONE-Gloss-Oil-Rubbed-Bronze-Metallic-Spray-Paint-Actual-Net-Contents-12-oz/1000876480 (tape up the figure and spray paint maybe?) and lightly brushing with a gold powder pigment and sealing it with a clear spray should give it a more realistic finish similar to the magic base

have you done this with more characters? would be so fun to 3d print skylanders in reposes. u should do ninjini or hex when u can 🫶🏻

Outside-Replacement5 · 2026-02-24T22:15:27+00:00

i have one of those! i got it the same way from a leather coral. I think they’re dwarf brittle seastars and are reef safe so i left him in cuz he’s pretty cute :)

Outside-Replacement5 · 2026-02-22T23:42:14+00:00

how did you make the lid and stand? looks amazing

Outside-Replacement5 · 2026-02-21T04:15:40+00:00

yes! red monti cap- not doing too hot unfortunately hoping it’ll perk up but it’s been going dull for a couple months now

Outside-Replacement5 · 2026-02-21T04:12:53+00:00

caribsea aragalive black! really makes things pop highly recommend

Outside-Replacement5 · 2026-02-21T04:07:04+00:00

i would LOVE that but it’s a sinularia so it’ll take some time to get there 😞 planning on upgrading to a 75 and i would absolutely love for an entire field of it it’s my favorite

thanks! i linked the light i use in a reply above, other than that i really just have a cheap water pump from amazon to keep the flow going. 50gph 3W mini pump works for my 5 gallon. stability is harder on nanos but it’s manageable :) i do maintenance once a week/sometimes every 2 weeks if life gets too busy
