Matching Skintone in Custom Workstation by SuperSeanski   
Sunday, August 14, 2022
   [Edit]
I'm looking for a female right grip/trigger finger hand that matches the Marvel Legends Moira MacTaggert. I've looked through my fodder but can't find anything. She has such a unique skintone. Maybe I'm just missing it, hopefully someone can suggest one that is close....[See More]

I'm wondering if someone here is willing to do a commission - Sssthgar from Thor #212-213. I'm guessing the upcoming Lizard Walmart Exclusive would make a good base....[See More]

Repair tip needed for DCUC Darkseid in Custom Workstation by Dormammu-1976   
Tuesday, June 28, 2022
   [Edit]
Well this is disheartening! My DCUC Classics BAF Darkseid broke! The centerpiece that attaches his hips to his torso is broken off. Krazy Glue doesn't seem like it's going to be enough. Is anyone familiar with a way to repair it? All I could come up with is to Dremel some holes in both the hip and torso, insert pegs, and Krazy Glue them in place. The figure is too heavy for just glue to work. Damn, I didn't know this thing was so fragile!...[See More]
Tips on using resin to create items in Custom Workstation by Dormammu-1976   
Thursday, June 23, 2022
   [Edit]
I had a question for those who are familiar with the use of resin. I wanted to start making accessory parts and pieces for various ML and DCUC figures. For example, I wanted to make some clear green resin hands, hammers, and other effects for Green Lantern's ring. I've never worked with resin before. Does anyone here have some tips, or perhaps a link to a good reference source for how to do this? I don't have a 3D printer or anything, so these would have to be hand-made items....[See More]
How to straighten part? in Custom Workstation by Dormammu-1976   
Tuesday, March 29, 2022
   [Edit]
I have a ML Grin Reaper and the main shaft that extends from his wrist to the scythe end is bend somewhat. I've tried bending it the opposite way and holding it but it only stays straight for a few moments. Does anyone know a proven, safe technique for straightening this part permanently? I though of driving a needle down through it, but that seems very difficult....[See More]

There's no hard and fast rule on it. The idea is you're trying to rapidly cool the soft plastic in the correct shape so it "sets" for lack of a better term, but that should happen pretty quickly submerged in water.

So probably the best way to do this is to heat the plastic to make it more pliable, either with a heat gun or boil method, then quickly cool it using ice water or somesuch. Its not perfect, but it does help to cause the plastic to retain the correct shape.

So after the soak in the hot water, just plunge it into ice water? How long should I keep it in the ice bath? Should be easy enough, although it might be tricky holding it straight and steady.
Batwoman hair in Custom Workstation by TomatoisJP   
Monday, May 2, 2022
   [Edit]
So I'm adding Batwoman to my Batman shelf, which includes 4in scale live action figures. I'm not personally a huge fan of the batwoman tv show, but I do like visual variety and I think the Ryan Wilder version will stand out better against the Kate Kane figures I have.

It's just... the hair. I don't know how to sculpt it. There's a good Polaris figure with a similar-ish hairdo, but its a bit large for a 4in figure. The only custom I found used yarn, and the funko sculpt looked too... braided.

I'm not looking for something super complex or anything (for 90% of this I'm planning to just repaint the spin master figure to match the show as much as possible and going "good enough" ) but the head is important enough I'd like to make it work....[See More]
How does one make Swayzak (Toonami) in action figure forum? in Custom Workstation by DaniellePlaysWithToys   
Monday, April 18, 2022
   [Edit]
Hey, so I'm still looking to make a Swayzak (obscure Toonami character) action figure. Since then I've got someone to draw a sketch of his body so it will be able to be easier for you guys to determine what parts I should use.

[Picture]

The one thing that matches Sway's aesthetic is Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. He looks alot like Zurg or NOS-4-A2. But those figures are extremely rare (the only Zurg and NOS-4-A2 are going on eBay for $60.00.) He also has digitigrade legs so a Toycom Zorak would work well.

In case you've forgotten, this is what Swayzak looks like:

Hope I get to make this. Swayzak deserves love....[See More]
Looking for new Koska Reeves boots in Custom Workstation by SuperSeanski   
Saturday, April 9, 2022
   [Edit]
I'm trying to find some new boots for the 6 inch Black Series Koska Reeves that will match her boots from the show better.
https://www.google.com/search?q=koska+r ... 5PL0_coGPM
Can anyone tell me if any of these figures will match up with the Koska figure? Ideally what I'd like to do is put the feet from Koska figure on to the boots of a different figure. The ones I'm looking at, in order of what I think looks closest to boots in the show are,

1. Zorii Bliss, although the legs look like they may be to thin to match up
