Trade Feedback in Trading Post by Kyle Robinson   
Sunday, December 31, 2006
   [Edit]
This thread is for keeping track of all us good traders here at the Realm.

After you complete a trade with someone, hop in and give them a "+1" followed by their EXACT username. Feel free to elaborate on the trade and write them a dirty haiku while you're at it.

Don't hesitate to report bad traders. We need to know about this so we can prevent others from being burned. If you're not comfortable leaving negative feedback, you can send me a message, along with proof of the misconduct, and I'll list their name here.

Looking for a Ronon cast in Trading Post by heatherly84   
Friday, September 7, 2018
   [Edit]
This is the longest of long shots, I know, but I'm desperate enough to try. Does anybody have a Stargate: Atlantis Ronon Dex whose head they would be willing to make a cast of? I really, really love the figure, but I do not have the $100-$300 to get it on eBay. Willing to pay parts + labor + shipping! ?...[See More]

I have a loose one with his blaster and staff (why he didn't come with a sword I will never know) that I will be happy to sell for $50.00 Much better than eBay. I have a lot of loose Stargate and SGA figures I posted about yesterday, if you're interested.

Help finding body in Custom Workstation by MegaMoonEntertainment   
Tuesday, June 11, 2019
   [Edit]
Hey everyone, i’m looking to make a figure of Yato from Noragami, and i’m having a hard time finding the base body to do it. I want to keep the Manga/Anime aesthetic, so i was looking at figmas, and S.H. Figuarts, but could not find anything.
Any sugestions would be much appreciated, thanks....[See More]

Hmmm... I'm not overly familiar with him but going off what I can tell from a google search I would look at Naruto for the upper torso (it's a bit bulky on the torso, but the zipper, jacket bottom, and arms are pretty similar and you can thin out the sides and back pretty well) though I'd look for another figure for the legs (rock lee if you want to keep to the same line, but plain pants are pretty basic)

There are some other figures that could also work, such as Master Asia from G Gundam (I've seen a decent tracksuit Gohan done with it) there's a tracksuit Bruce Lee, and if they make a DBS 17 the upper torso might work ok... but I didn't like the bulk of most of them. I'd also look into school anime figures, since I feel the arms and pants would match ok from a typical male school unifor ...

Thank you! I think naruto would work very well. I have not seen naruto so I did not think to look for them. Master asia also might work. All your sugestions are very helpfull, thank you.
Sp//dr in Custom Workstation by TomatoisJP   
Tuesday, May 28, 2019
   [Edit]
So long story short, I'm planning on making my own version of Sp//dr from the Into The Spider-verse film (the film toy is way off model and ugly looking, and the comic version just isn't the same.)

I've got the core of the mech handled (I'm commissioning a modeller I trust to model the solid pieces and then I'll 3d print them) but in the film the joints are actually these oscillating energy tendrils that squash and stretch around. The limbs also swap around, with the upper arms sometimes moving to the back like jet boosters.

I'm trying to devise some sort of system with magnets and clear rotating joints, but I was curious if anyone here had any ideas. This is the last Spider I need for my collection, so I'm trying to go all out with it....[See More]

So the rough plan RN is that I have a 3d model with a hollowed out torso to use as the base, with magnets inside as space allows (discussions of a LED screen are being discussed, we'll see if that'll happen and how much room it'll take up). That's all gonna be a bit, but where I'm stuck right now is the joints.

While the attachment points will likely end with magnets on either end so I can swap them out, my plan was to have the joints be ball-hinge joints (similar to shoulder joints on an action figure) to allow for full range of motion. However, to match the look of the film with its oscillating energy between the sections, I'd LIKE to have those joints be clear so I can paint the energy lines by hand on top of them. The problem is that the Hobby Base joints that most closely resemble w ...

The easiest way would be to make the central part of the mech out of metal, so that the magnets can attach wherever you want. Perhaps a hollow metal ball as the base, with some modeling around it? Or maybe place strips of metal just underneath your sculpt.

Another way to go is to hide strong magnets underneath the sculpt at specific areas where you want the limbs to attach.

Help please in Custom Workstation by Son of Frog   
Sunday, May 12, 2019
   [Edit]
Hello. I am new to the custom action figure thing, and I thought I could find some help here. I want to give my figure a metallic red look by adding a coat of Tamiya x-11 (silver) and then a coat of x-27 (clear red). So I try this but once I add the clear red it just chips away at the silver layer underneath. It's almost as if I'm painting on alcohol and removing the silver (which I guess I am). I thinned both paints, but perhaps I should thin them more? Any suggestions or alternatives?...[See More]

Try applying a couple coats of neutral clear, between other color coats and as last coat. Might help, but try on scrap medium first to test it out, don't test anything on your figures till you know how it will come out.

Thanks, I might try that next time. I finished up the project though. I ended up just putting Mod Podge on everything and it worked out okay. I hope to upload soon! Thanks again to the fellows who commented some help.

I've always used the testors model masters aluminum and then used my clear over that. Side note, you may try a coat of gold instead of silver.
