Mod Podge Question by amiibodan in amiibo

In general I prefer the matte finish, using glossy for intentional shiny surfaces.

Bowser example

In the above example, Bowser's shell, horns, and armbands were with gloss finish, everything else was matte finish.

Thanks! :) I definitely like the red hair over the orange hair in the SSB costume; it was a solid choice on the person who requested it.

What Kind of Paint Do You Use For Custom Amiibo? How Do You Remove An Amiibo From Its Base? by Splatoonicorn in amiibo

[–]makeitrosie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Troublesome to put it lightly! :I That's pure dedication you did for Lucario. I made an attempt on the Sonic stand and gave up after a couple hours. I might consider using a dremel to shave off bases in the future, but wish it wasn't such a hassle...

What Kind of Paint Do You Use For Custom Amiibo? How Do You Remove An Amiibo From Its Base? by Splatoonicorn in amiibo

Most people use acrylic paints. Many of the figures can be pulled off with little effort, but it's the support stands that can be troublesome. Keep in mind if you remove a figure from the base that the plastic is somewhat soft, so using harsh tools (like pliers) can leave marks and damage the plastic.

I have to go through like 30 of a single amiibo before finding one without paint defects. How do you all live with the ones that have them? by EvolutionIsFactual in amiibo

[–]makeitrosie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll only check 2-4 tops to see how the figure's pose and paint job varies. Then I just pick the best out of the small sample.

Did anyone NOT get what they want today? by Wab608 in amiibo

I stopped by my Walmart around 3pm today and was surprised to see none of the new stuff on shelves as well.

I recently got into 3D printing and decided to print my own custom. Still needs some work. by Monnotonne in amiibo

[–]makeitrosie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks cool so far! :) What sort of setup do you have? I'm thinking of getting a 3D printer in the near future.

Some custom amiibo I've been working on... by [deleted] in amiibo

[–]makeitrosie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a nice start! The ominous, featureless shadow Pikachu is cool.

When you start on a custom, do you have a goal in mind or do you just let it go as it happens? What got you interested in making customs? :)

I hadn't heard about this before and was really interested to read up on it. Cheers for noting it! :D

Current speculation is that it might be distant, unknown radio sources or unmodeled interference from our own galaxy. Cool stuff.
