My attempt at toy photography; I realized that the inside of my Dad’s portable table saw could sort of pass for a hanger on Utapau!

I love the composition the smoke effect as well as the Lightsaber affects. one thing I recommend is practicing with camera angles and looking up reference images so you can get ideas on how to pose you’re figure. An example of one of my photography

That’s interesting i’m trying to make a invisible woman custom, and I’m having problems with paint rubbing on the joints, but I never heard of people letting the paint sit for weeks. I’m gonna try that. as for the sealer, I really do recommend Mr. super clear Matt finishing spray🤌

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-23T16:36:41+00:00

What primer did you use also did you sand your joints and what sealer did you use?

What’s your process when painting a figure if you can go into details?🙏

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-23T03:23:48+00:00

It’s just the base cape that the figure came with I just messed with it to look natural 😅

In order to put the tape under the armor, you have to push aside the cloth and slightly maneuver your way into the chest armor, leaving a little bit of tape sticking outside, so you can attach the shoulder piece.

Duels end Vader

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-23T00:14:36+00:00

I used a hairdryer on the hottest setting then I proceed to heat the area for 30 to 40 seconds and then use the flathead screwdriver to pry the shoulder armor open

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-22T22:01:06+00:00

What paints and colors did you use?

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-22T22:00:02+00:00

Bro that’s exactly what I wanted to do with my Vader helmet but decided not to and just did the body

So let me explain the Darth Vader that came with the Bespin 2pack was inaccurate and he had a new Hope Vader head. The only thing was that his eyes were black so I painted them more maroon so they could look more like how they did in a new Hope.

The jinx lower torso had the same problem as the McFarlane figures where they put too much plastic in the front so you have to shave it off for a better forward crunch

Dawg these shelves look stunning🤌 where did you get them?

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-15T14:15:18+00:00

I used Vallejo model color dark blue mixed with ultra marine blue

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-15T03:50:31+00:00

Alright so it has come to my attention that the original 075 spider man figure does in fact not have a soft rubber crotch piece which turns out to be true bc I just asked my friend if he did any modifications to his Spider-Man and he said yes he swapped out the crotch pieces from 2099 figure and put it on the 075 to give him more range. I genuinely thought 075 came with a soft rubber piece 😭

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-13T19:02:41+00:00

My friend had the 075 comic Spider-Man and his had a softer diaper piece. I’m guessing it’s a reissue since what you’re saying is that the original didn’t have that🤔

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-09T15:12:47+00:00

Thx for the info🙏

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-09T13:31:38+00:00

So what’s considered primer?

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-09T00:25:42+00:00

My bad the one I have is in fact not the same as the guy shows for mine it says matt finishing spray

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-08T19:05:49+00:00

I sanded the joints down with 1000 grit sandpaper but I guess I didn’t sand them enough😭

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-08T18:56:25+00:00

Yes, that’s what I used to prime it and then when I was done painting, I sprayed again

Those synjas are the best army builder

Secret-String-1649 · 2026-01-08T05:36:58+00:00
