Custom Exo-Squad WIPs update in Custom Workstation by TheRubicon   
Tuesday, August 18, 2020
   [Edit]
Hey Realm, I’m back!

Been away for a while and haven’t actually touched my work table for about 2 years, but I’m back and I’ve been hammering on some stuff this past week and I’d love to get back into the community and get some chatter going.

Maggie Weston and Nara Burns are ready for paint and were both built out of a combo of BFS blanks and MU bods. JT Marsh is about 85% done And he’s a MU Cyclops and a BFS head. Alec DeLeon is about 15% done with the bulk of the work so far being on the head, He’s MU Spidey arms, BFS lower arms, Sentry head, and MU classic Cyclops body with MU newer Cyclops Legs. Marsala will be the next big build using a Sentry MU bod and Greenstuff sculpted head, hands, and feet.

Feedback and advice is always welco...[See More]

I want to make a custom B.J. figure to go with my DoomSlayer and Duke Nukem figures , but I’m having trouble finding a figure to use as a base. I’m looking for 7 inch scaled World War II figures (just plastic, no fabric) to use as the base. If anyone knows of a figure or figure series that could work I’d appreciate the help....[See More]

Giant Penny? in Custom Workstation by SuperSeanski   
Saturday, June 6, 2020
   [Edit]
Does anybody know where to get a 6" giant penny for a dio? The biggest I've been able to find is 3". I was hoping maybe someone knows where to find one, or could possibly put a 3d print on shapeways or something....[See More]

Best bet is to get a 3D model of a penny and have someone print it for you with an FDM printer.

Reddit has a large community of people looking for gigs like that https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprintmything/

The closest that I once found to imitate the Batcave penny was a small round wooden tray, so I guess it could only be customized from similar-sized kitchen appliances.
Best Airbrush in Custom Workstation by BuriedOnSunday   
Tuesday, June 23, 2020
   [Edit]
So, I'm in the market for an airbrush set up and I can't exactly make heads or tails of what I should go with when it comes to customizing 1:12 scale figures. I've read up some on it but I'm still confused here. I'd like some recommendations in the mid-higher price range. From what I can tell, I should be looking for a compressor with a tank and to make sure it has pressure control, a drain to release moisture that collects in the tank, is oil-less, and hopefully quiet.

Any and all help appreciated, thank you....[See More]

What do you want to do with it? Most people just use them for basecoating and rudimentary shading, and you can do that with a cheap $20 airbrush.

Airbrushes aren't magic, don't spend a bunch on it.

Get a double-action airbrush, that means the trigger lets you control both the paint flow (pulling back farther sprays more paint) and airflow (by simply pressing down). ...

You might be able to take a scrap arm from another figure and glue it onto the elbow joint. That would cause a little issue with articulation, though.

Toy Biz disassembly in Custom Workstation by YaniSenpai

I've only worked with Marvel Legends before, but I recently bought a Toybiz LOTR Eowyn (sword slashing) for a custom. How different is the assembly of figures like this from Marvel Legends? Will my usual method of hairdryer work?...[See More]

Hmm. Thank you. I've decided to just paint it as is, even though that'll be a bit more difficult.

Heat might work on some parts like the arms and legs, but the torso may be hard plastic, especially if it has an action feature. All the LOTR figs I worked with had hard torsos, basically like the male Marvel Legends figs.
