Tiny Pics for the Tiny Fam (ALSO FLAGGED)

Sorry this is YET ANOTHER post that is not about the Tinys but I like to share the things I’m working on. Today it is some tiny accessories for the Tiny house.

If you don’t know I have an extensive but eclectic collection of Re-ments which are Japanese Miniatures that usually come in small sets. You can buy individual blind boxes which I sometimes do but sometimes it is cheaper just to buy entire sets.

So I do.

I have this set:

Petit Sample – Haikara Taisho Roman Tei

And today we will focus on Set 3: Monokaki wa neru mae no nikka

And recently purchased this:

Moomin Warm House Nuku Nuku Fuyugomori (I know nothing of Moomins and care nothing for them but THIS SET IS SO APPROPRIATE FOR THE SEASON)

Look to Set 4: Danro no soba ni wa

And we measure things. And we select a few photos and we print them.

And we print this (this page is A4 sized):

And we print multiple sizes because measuring accurate in miniature is DIFFICULT. Also sometimes the printer is weird or

Shit happens.

I made the size I thought was accurate and then made sizes smaller and bigger. As you can see from the results it can vary.

Then we find the size that is appropriate.

And we cut them as accurately as possible. A good pair of paper scissors is important. Here is mine:

AND THEN WE HAVE PHOTOS

Don’t worry if they fall out just use a teeeeeny tiiiiinnny bit of blu tak to hold them in place.

BOOM

Reasons to buy wrestling figures if you don’t actually know anything about wrestling XD

If you need a certain kind of musculature for a custom figure the WWE line is pretty good for that as they have different bodies for each wrestler (I think???)

This figure was on sale and he might be a bit too big for my Marvel figures XD. He had a lot of accessories that I quite like and a lot of the time they have accessories that are just rubber and can be removed or cut off. You will need to use hot water or a hairdryer to remove the head though.

Don’t actually know what to use this body for but he’s going in my custom box.

Downsides: no double jointed elbows

threadberry:

And now for something completely different.. been working on modding a #nendoroid into #buckybarnes – #wintersoldier version. He’s not quite finished yet… but I seem to live in wipland, so that’s to be expected.

*SCREAMS FOREVER

Those of you who have seen my FunCcnio’s Winter ~~Soldier~~ Rose set:

may recognise this small hat. I actually really don’t like small hats in this shape but I still felt there were pieces of the hat that I liked.

So I ripped them off.

It wasn’t too hard because the hat was pretty much put together with a glue gun so everything detached cleanly but it did take a bit of forces with the little gun decorations.

I detached the bow and glued on a clip from the actual hat (it was harder than I thought to hold open the clip, glue the inside and quickly push it through the centre of the bow but it ended up working) and then I had a clip on bow.

Luckily the little gun decorations already had some loops on the ends of them so I sewed them onto a chain necklace I had lying around and hid the stitches with tiny black roses.

I may detach the roses and glue them to the other clip in future but I have a lot of projects going on at the moment.

Statue project pt. 2

marveltsumtsumadventures:

I needed to prep a few of the tsums before putting the statue together. Cap and Giant-Man have a lot of printed details that wouldn’t be visible when the whole thing was sprayed one color. So I carved them with an exacto and sanded them smooth-ish.

I cut Giant-Man’s ear to fit Wasp on his ‘hand’.

I also removed Thor’s hammer detail because he would be holding one.

Glue everyone into position…

And put them on the base!

It looks pretty good from multiple angles. I’ll cut off some of the big gluey bits and spray it tomorrow!

Ok I had a heart attack when I saw you carved the Tsums but then I saw the final picture and calmed down.

YOU SHOULD PUT THEM ON A MINI LAZY SUSAN

Joining the bandwagon

New Steeb!

😦 The new Cap has a different sized neck peg so the angsty Steeb head I made a while ago is sorta sitting on the neck rather than actually clicking in place.

The head of new Steeb is just as weird as a lot of reviewers have said but I’m okay with it. It seems like one side of the face got printed in the right area and the other is off by the slightest bit which is all I’ve seen. Hopefully I can finish angsty Steeb for a proper comparison soon 😀

Peggy Carter ~ Custom Figure

lupthiefcan:

inspecteurspacetime:

Peggy Carter : S.S.R Agent
from Marvel’s Agent Carter. Based on actress Hailey Atwell
Recipe:
Head/hair:
Diamond Select Toys “You’re Welcome” Cordelia
Torso/arms/hands:
WWE Stephanie McMahon/Cordelia hands
Skirt: Sewn
from old shirt
Hips/legs/feet:
WWE Stephanie McMahon/Funko Legacy Liliana Vess, Pylean Princess Cordelia

Paints:
Testors acrylic

Process:
This
custom was a huge challenge for me and probably more than I should have taken
on. But I REALLY wanted an Agent Carter figure for my display. I Frankensteined
her together from several figures. Her head and hair are from a Diamond Select
Toys Cordelia Chase figure. I repainted her skin tone and updated her makeup so
she looked more like Agent Carter. The torso and arms came from a Stephanie
McMahon figure. I broke the torso apart and shaved down the interior cavity so
I could lose so much needed height from the figure. I lost the ab crunch in the
process, but she still has a waist swivel and the coat, while soft-rubbery
plastic, hindered that joint a lot anyway. Her right hand came from the
Cordelia figure so that she could hold a pistol. I gave her nails a red coat
like the character from the show. The skirt was an exercise in torture. It was
really hard to get it to fit well while also flattering the figure. I’m ok with
how it turned out. I painted it blue to match the coat. For her legs, I kept
the hip joints from the Stephanie figure, but attached the thighs from a Lilian
Vess figure. I had to sand the heck out of the legs to get rid of the sculpted
detail. The lower leg can from another Cordelia figure. The choice of lower leg
cost me a the double knee joint and ankle articulation, but I like the way it
looks overall.

Articulation:
Ball-jointed
head, ball-jointed shoulders, single hinged elbows, bicep cut, wrist swivels,
ball-jointed hips, upper thigh swivel, single hinged knees.

Thanks
for taking a look! Comments and critiques are always welcome 🙂

Best figure ever!!!!!!

Peggy Carter deserves her own figure! There are surprisingly few customs of her 😦

Bearded Steeb’s head

A summary of Not So Tiny Bearded Steeb’s head:

The Captain America unmasked heads that I own. Surprisingly the one with the least wonky eyes is the one I paid full price for. The other two were bought at Toyfairs. I chose to use the last head because damn are those eyes not painted right.

I have doubles of Steve in his Civil War suit (the reason I decided to do this custom in the first place.) I ended up using Not So Tiny Injured Steeb just because his suit is slightly lighter than the none “battle damaged” version and I like the darker version. While he is harder to get (being part of a three pack) I bought him for less at a Toyfair.

I cut off the front of the fringe as it sticks out too much. After removing the paint with nail polish remover (I do have proper acetone but I find the nail polish remover is not as harsh and it works well enough on removing the paint on faces) I scrubbed the head clean and sculpted on it using the Tamiya Quick Dry Type Epoxy Putty. I learned the hard way NOT to use it when my heater is on as it becomes a sticky mess. I have used Aves Apoxie but I find the Tamiya Putty sticks to plastic easier and isn’t as fiddly once you get the hang of it. It also doesn’t sink down as easily. To sculpt I used a small awl. Some people use toothpicks but I find they go too blunt too quickly when I use them.

Sculpting the hair was a challenge as I’m not very good at figuring out how short hair falls.

Comparing the before and after.

I realized one side of the hair was bigger than the other so I added more volume to even it up.

Late night painting the skin.

Mixing up the skin tone was a pain but eventually I just settled on one. Then began the challenge of painting eyes.

I decided to have the eyes look slightly up so that Bearded Stee would forever be glaring up at people from under his brows.

Painting the hair was very annoying. This was just the base coat.

I attempted to dry brush the hair and added some colour to the lips as well as very, very lightly adding some shading to the cheekbones, under the eyes and in the brow furrows. Honestly he’s so tiny you can only really see them right up close but I will know it’s there.
