Shmonsterarts Custom Build

Jake follows the clues left by Lord Conan in his journal, found on the island trail.

vision is nearly finished(?)

i think i will make her neck more metallic though

HotToys alita battle angel body almost unmodded... with knockoff head painted purple metallic with flocked hair.

body is only painted (and slightly de-painted) at the neck and shoulders

imo this body with all its details is the best thing HT has ever done and the alita fig is honestly just about everything i ever wanted in a Purple Robot (a decade-long doll wish of mine)

(the human face alita head is also amazing and will become a separate biological person character)

finished this guy off today, but you can't see what I added from the last set of pictures haha,

he's got some smoke grenades now, a camelback, an admin panel with some new patches, chemlights, and now an M16 with an M203

overall I'm pretty happy with it, it's not 100% exact but it's pretty cool looking

my father, a fellow 1/6 scale collector/giant nerd, got me this figure for Christmas,

it's not just a marine, it's specifically supposed to be Aaron Eckhart's character in the upcoming movie battle los angeles, which pits the US Marines against a hostile alien invasion.

think black hawk down meets independence day, I personally can't wait

originally the figure was a soldier story Marine MSOB, but I swapped the original out for a hot toys true type with a dark knight Harvey dent figure's head, while his hair is way too long for him to be a marine, you can't see it anyway, and it looks just like him in the upcoming film

Poured last night well into this afternoon; therefore, my new location has been transformed into a venerable mud pit. This had to be done.

The Batmobile (Jada Toys 1:18 scale)

This has been on the to-do list for ages so I'm finally giving it a shot. Going for a WETA style to the head, I want to chrome the Lego canopy as a fold-down face plate (still wondering if I should delete that canopy bit??). At the moment everything is unglued. There isn't going to be much articulation with this head/neck arrange; it'll be more of a statue than a true action figure. My skills are NOWHERE near good enough to do it properly. Money is scarce at the moment so I'm going to manage with what I already have.

I was very disappointed when Sideshow cancelled their 1/6 GI Joe line recently. So much potential going wanting. Anyway, we'll see if this turns into a big disaster or not!

i've added lip color, shading, EYEBROWS! and movie-accurate eye color (GREEN muajajaja)

may get her some actual octagonal glasses 3D printed eventually but these are ok for now. i just shaved the round edges off some mattel HP ones

new headband covered with washi tape because i found some that looked just like her headband in the movie.

also put not quite matching pockets onto her labcoat for fun (it was originally from the AvaStars vet doll so i had to replace the pet-themed logos on the pockets)

the rest of her explanations are here:

the stuff around her is from from OurGeneration and MyLifeAs science sets, and the book is barbie (it came with a teacher fashion)

"Hello sweetie" smiled Tabi to her adipose friend,

"So, no brewing moonshine ale in he kitchen!" moaned Dax.

"Hey, I don't make the rules, and I ain't crossing Joe, I like living above the Arms" replied Tabi.

"According to these notes left by Joe, we're not supposed to brew beer in the kitchen!"

I recently found this Reindeer outfit, which is meant for a Christmas decoration Elf. However, it works perfectly for my phicen female figures.

*one final effort intensifies*

i need to style his wig... it's just a normal tiny BJD wig from like monique or kemper or similar? but i can't figure out how to straighten it or make the curls go in less directions haha .... boiling water did nothing.

again, sculpt by @modernwizard, printing by @beetleboo, painting by me.

as portrayed by the incomparable sacha dhawan

both heads 3D sculpted by @powersofcreation , resin 3D printed by @radbeetle , painted by me with craft and #vallejopaints acrylics

they look pretty weird together but i figured if i make a happy headsculpt but still keep the sad one, i should make the sad one look sort of how i imagine spymaster when he’s not feeling well. so i overpainted my previous spymaster head in that way.

now i need to sealer them and sculpt their hairs after the paint and sealers dry.

i might do the removable hair sculpts but not sure yet.

this is how i paint for myself, i cannot paint complex things for other doll people because stuff happens along the way and if it’s for me i can decide if i want it or not but for other people i would freak the fk out, basically

I've been working on this guy as well!
