Hi everyone, my name is Samuel Munoz, but I'm also known as Ikonic Toyz on other social media platforms. I started this channel to share my creations. I've always been a student of art and creation. Over the years my main medium of art has been in scratch building and photography. I admire the pioneers and originators of this culture that started it all. Legends like Ray Harryhausen and Willis O' Brien who's works are still influential today in stop motion, modeling, scratch building, toy photography, and editing. I've been constructing dioramas for 10yrs. and I've done toy photography for 8 yrs. I'm a very reclusive person by nature, but that doesn't mean I don't know a thing or two, about a thing or two. Lol
Just curious why you didn't make the first corner at 1.5 inches instead of 3 and avoid having to cut and waste wire? 1.5 inches cut each time wastes an entire stand faster than you think.
@smunoz1970 the wider footing makes sense. My question is about that first cut you make in the video. You make a bend at 3 inches, but you cut off an inch and a half after that to make space for closing the square at the end. Why not make that first bend shorter so you never cut anything off the base and save a ton of wire, while still making the exact sized base? Losing that inch and a half adds up to a whole stand for every 10 (or fewer) stands you make. Make sense or am I asking this wrong?
12 gage is the ideal wire. 26 gage may or may not support the weight, especially if you go into heavier figures. Take the guess-work out of it and give it a shot. It may work
Love this video I'm struggling with my 16 gauge to make stuff stand in the air I see 12 is the way to go I'll be heading to home Depot soon thanks for this video
Starting my collection recently and was going to buy heaps off of Amazon but I saw this instead. Appreciate it as it’s very easy to make and is way cheaper than those mafex stands Cheers dude
Great job adding some really inovstive ideas. Bending to center mass of base and addinf the shrink app. Saw another person using circular base, i thought no way that is the most stable base shape
Hi Brent and thank you for viewing my content. Unfortunately, I do not do commissions. However, if you are interested in this custom Devastator he is available for purchase.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you like my style of work. Unfortunately I wasn't able to order the Convention Exclusive. I'm so sad that I couldn't make it on time to order online. But yes, to answer your question. I would definitely customize that figure to make it movie poster accurate.
This looks fantastic !!!! Please tell me you documented your work in progress. I would really really LOVE to duplicate this for my MacReady figure! I'd love to see or even read a detailed instruction of what to do and what materials/tools to use ! Again truly FANTASTIC JOB !!!!
Thank you and I appreciate your like and comments. Unfortunately, I do not record or document my projects. These are projects that I execute in detail as I go with the flow. So, there isn't any information I can share cause no of my works are plan out. My apologies in advanced
Hello Liam- Thank you for the like. Unfortunately, I don't do tutorials because that is a monetary venture. The process of building those energy blasts is a project within itself and would take too much time of trying to explain it. I appreciate that you enjoy my build and that it inspires you to create something with your own unique touch. Have a good day
