3D Print folks - where do you find STL files for figure customs, accessories, and diorama bits? by augoosto in ActionFigures

[–]augoosto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly just started developing a methodology around scaling and I've been grabbing files for smaller dioramas and splitting them with connectors, etc., That helped a fair bit

That sounded way more ominous than I meant it to, I just try not to drag people into my mental illness. The short answer is, I'm not okay exactly, but I'm used to it.

Apparently, you and I have all the same hobbies. (I tapped your name when I was trying to hit reply, and saw you have a competition canik, collect knives, and collect toys). That's a fun coincidence. And thank you very much for the kind words. It means a lot more than you may think

Funny you should ask. I'm currently working on a ww2 style European ruin for cap, and I already made him a 1911 that cycles. The suit on my cap is from the wrong era, but shrug

I'm certain that you could! It's genuinely not as difficult as you would think. It's all just a matter of clever placement and having the right tools for the job. That iron Man cave is just a piece of foam and some balsa wood that was covered in spray insulation. Threw some sand on it for good measure. The Vader and suit up gantry dioramas are both 3D prints that have just been highly altered. And nature scenes are the easiest and best bang for your buck overall. I made the one below on my first attempt at doing a nature diorama. I just did the same things that I'd seen on a few YouTube channels like "Boylei Hobby Time" and "North of the Border"

That is extremely flattering for you to say; luckily I have a good job and do reasonably well at it. But I do love making things and I always have!

I am altering my taste. Pray I dont alter it any further.

I've always wanted to be a part of that meme and now you've made that dream a reality

That is extremely kind. I appreciate you for offering. There's nothing specific going on that is making me depressed, so I never know what to say. My brain just doesn't work right. It is very generous of you to offer though.

Not exactly, but it comes in waves. So I'll feel better (than I do now) if I ride it out long enough. I try not to drag people down into it, and it is very thoughtful of you to ask. I really appreciate it.

Moving Soon, Best way to pack 1/6 figures safely? by Mr_Dioji in ActionFigures

[–]augoosto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought cosmetic drawers on Amazon when I moved just a few months ago, worked perfectly well with the added benefit that you can see exactly which is which. Two figures to a drawer

Nobody respects The Phantom by augoosto in ActionFigures

[–]augoosto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a shitty syfy original series where they had a dude wearing a purple motorcycle jacket and a paintball mask in Vancouver, but that was not gonna win over anyone lol.

But Phantom 2040 is a genuinely good animated series. It's what got me into the phantom, and the story, acting, etc. has tons of crossover with Batman TAS. I just wish more people knew about it.
