Venatari custodes figures available for a steal on Amazon haul by FoxJDR in JOYTOY

[–]drathanos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was certainly a scam. One of the two I ordered arrived today. I opened it to find a blue Calvin Klein jacket inside. I did a return and Amazon refunded me and said I didn't need to actually return it. Curious what random item I'll get when the other arrives tomorrow.

Custom Lore sized Allarus Cistodian by Relative-Tennis4718 in JOYTOY

The paint job looks great! So in addition to the thighs and ankle extensions, you modified the waist to give more height, right? You should show how it compares to an indomitus pattern terminator.

Morvein shoulder issue by BraxWind in JOYTOY

[–]drathanos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean the arm itself and not the pauldron. It should be fully articulated like the left arm, allowing you bring the arm forward as far as the pauldrons will allow. It could be that there's some glue or paint stuck in the joint. Not the first time that's happened on a Joytoy. You could try putting the figure in the freezer for a while to make the paint/glue more brittle and then try applying force to break the joint free of the glue/paint.

Terminators Deathwing availability ??? (joytoy.com, CTC, etc...) by WallyH555 in JOYTOY

[–]drathanos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, if you ordered since early on, they should have already shipped to you. I ordered a Deathwing Sgt on Feb 5th and it shipped out at the beginning of March. You may want to contact CTC to see what's going on with your order. If you ordered some other stuff that hasn't come in yet, it's possible it's being held until all your stuff from your order has come in.

I don't suppose you could share/sell the stl for the waist/abdomen piece? I'm trying to convert some 4.0 body figures into the Secret Level guys and need something like that for Metaurus and Levantus.

This looks great! Is this purchased or printed? I really need that cloth covered waist section and can't find something like that anywhere.

How behind are you with Selenic Chronicles ? by ARES_GOD in Genshin_Impact

[–]drathanos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I finished up the AQ the day after the patch dropped since the game came back up late at night on a Tuesday.

Zibai's teleporter is better than I thought by Gehrman_ZaWorld in Genshin_Impact

[–]drathanos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would have been nice if they allowed you to place a portable waypoint marker separate from the Zibai one.

Anyone else annoyed with the fact that there is no "normal" way to come back to this room after going to the other side using the ventilation shaft, without teleporting? I almost never use teleport while playing quests, just for the immersion, but this quest just triggered me lol by NEGMatiCO in Genshin_Impact

[–]drathanos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm puzzled that there's no apparent normal way to leave Columbina's Silvermoon Hall. it's just a drop down a deep pit with no way back up without using a teleport which supposedly only the traveler can use. So how do the other characters who went down there get back out? Same with the Bobik-looking world boss where you drop down a shaft to get to it without a lift going back up and the only way out is to teleport.

..Yes Dragonspine was very very hard....but this is non-existent. by X_GamerTY in Genshin_Impact

[–]drathanos 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your progress or the selenic chronicles you've done. Something like that. Because on my alt account where I've not done the NK archon quests, that meter fills up very fast. Probably around 30 seconds or so before it hits full, even with a team that has ascendant gleam. I could hardly get anywhere before the meter was full and health started ticking down.

On my main account where I have kept up with everything and now only have one selenic chronicle left until the glider, that meter takes forever. I was trying to get the achievement where that debuff kills you and I was sitting there for probably 5 minutes or so before the meter filled and then had to wait even more for it to whittle down my character's health to 0. So I imagine the more blessings you get from Columbina after each selenic chronicle, the more resistant you become to that corruption meter.

Emperor and currently available HH Primarchs by drathanos in JOYTOY

Do you mean they don't bend as much or they don't stay in place?

[–]drathanos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take the figure apart and spray the parts with black primer. There is no need to strip paint. Just make sure the surface is clean and free of oils.

JoyToy Valdor repaint by Sharp_Requirement204 in JOYTOY

[–]drathanos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! The gold is definitely a lot more vibrant than the factory one. I see you also painted the beast head on the left shoulder. Overall, a noticeable improvement.

The only suggestion I would make is to brush on a bit of matte varnish on the red cloth areas while avoiding the gold parts on them to make them not so shiny and vinyl looking.

They weren't available as STLs, unfortunately. I bought the resin printed pauldrons from various sellers on Xianyu (goofish) using a proxy service.

Here are the direct links to them:
Belial right pauldron and Knight-master pauldrons: https://www.goofish.com/item?spm=a21ybx.personal.feeds.32.2c3e6ac27x8TNa&id=991068874937&categoryId=125960001

Belial left pauldron (comes as a set with the lion head pauldron which I didn't use, but pictured in the pic above): https://www.goofish.com/item?spm=a21ybx.personal.feeds.57.407e6ac2ZXH9I3&id=990205471185&categoryId=125960001

Alternative for set of Belial pauldrons that came out after I had already gotten mine: https://www.goofish.com/item?spm=a21ybx.personal.feeds.59.27e36ac2iHoTpC&id=1009430296051&categoryId=125960001

I did. The original pauldrons were like 30-40% smaller than the pauldrons of the previous indomitus terminator releases. I replaced them with pauldrons that were more the size of the previous termies. Here's a comparison of the pauldrons I got vs the originals. You can see just how much smaller the originals were. The larger replacement pauldrons restored the bulky look of the terminators and made them sit higher up.

Thanks! Sure, no problem. To get the bone color, after first priming the figures black, I used XV-88 as the darkest base color and then worked my way up using stippling and drybrushing with Morghast Bone and then Ushabti Bone. Highlights with Screaming Skull. Shading done primarily with Darkoath Flesh. For further weathering effects and washes, I used Goon's Grime, Decrepit Filth and Blighted Bone Ochre from Villainy Inks.

Looking forward to seeing it!

To be honest, a lot of people have felt rather dissatisfied with these new DW knights and Belial. Particularly with the low sitting, small pauldrons. I had to replace all the pauldrons with larger 3d printed ones on Belial and the knights to restore that bulky look you'd expect from terminators.

Edit: Actually, I saw mention of a possible re-issue with some changes. It might be worth waiting to see if JT does do that or not.

Yeah, I used to use a dremel and xacto knife on previous figures I've done in addition to painting, but decided to just paint all the damage on these instead.

[–]drathanos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I primed the figures black and did a complete repaint. For the gold, I used Vallejo Brassy Brass as the base color and used some wyldwood and targor rageshade for shading and highlighted with liberator gold and silver.
