@@kitbashplague This is awesome! I never knew that there was a lot more to kitbashing that what I already know. What was used for the robotic parts? I already know what to use for the metallic parts.
The music was so hypnotizing, had to watch the full video. I admire your creativity. Watching this I got a feeling that this is simple and you combine elements just like that, but we all know it is not simple. Your customization is amazing! You got a talent.
This really made me think of Frank Miller and Geof Darrow's early 1990's comic book, 'Hard Boiled'. The incredibly violent experiences of an android tax collector. Every issue had a phenomenal body count, and Nixon, the android ends every episode severely battle damaged.
I actuallt really like how it looked when entirely black. Like an oil-colored version of the T-1000 while it's in "liquid metal" form. I know it was more of a mercury style of silver in the movies, but imagining a pitch black android is pretty cool. The finished product here is also amazing!
Awesome build! I tried building something like this about 35 years ago with an old 12 " GI Joe. I still have the unfinished project in a shoe box. This is the inspiration I need to finish it!
This is awesome. 2 things. 1. I love your sponge painting technique rather than the use of traditional brushes. It really gave the metal pieces the “industrial” vibe and brought out the grungy nature of the piece. It could be something right along the lines of bladerunner in aesthetic. 2. I think your videos would perform really good as shorts. There is a 3D pen artist Sanago that has a style similar to yours and the highlights-style short videos perform well too.
Because of my love for Fallout, I knew that I would thoroughly enjoy this one. I think the paint job is what did it. I've been staring at 17:41 for a few minutes now. Love it!
This is bad ass. I'm going to have a look for my old action men now because this inspired me. The only addition I think would have made that little extra is some L.E.Ds in the eyes and such. You wouldn't even have to hide the wires. Maybe you could try it and make this guy some company. Anyways, I'm definitely liking and subbing.
Looks fantastic! I always enjoy your builds and as much as I would like to emulate them, whenever I come across dolls that could be kitbashed like this my mind just goes blank. It's always wonderful to see someone do a thing I'm not yet able to do myself! Great work!
Excellent! I'd love to see if you could get some epoxy putty to take a negative impression of his face, then press in a super thin layer of basic bathroom silicone to make a layer of android 'skin' in the shape of his face. I bet you could make some awesome prosthetic skin effects on arms/legs/torso!
I did with this video what i do whenever i make anything. I spent all the time thinking "this looks like shit, this is crap, its never going to be anything more than crap superglued together on to the worst era action man figure..." I did rhis all the way through, up until the paint job and the jacket went on... Then i thought "This is amazing! Why wasnt THIS an actual figure when i was a kid!" This was genuine artwork. I've got lots of gems that started of as crap. They always seem to come together in the end! Thank you for this video and keep on making crap...good!
@@kitbashplague no probs! Have you ever thought of having moulds made of some of your creations and casting them yourself, whether it be for yourself or for selling on? I'm sure they would sell well. Maybe 3D scanning them, then turn the scans in to individual parts, changing the joints etc for more manoeuvrable ones using the 3d software, cleaning up edges etc even adding or taking away items, then just printing them out with a standard filament 3d printer, then painting them up. Or if you print the parts out inverted as a mould then fill it with a flexible rubber like resin. There's lots of ways. If you go the 3D scanning route, you could scan them, then reduce the size down to that of the action force/ gi Joe/star wars etc type figures around 3.5" I think they would look amazing at that scale, be cheap and easy to 3D print, print off your own design card backs, then you could sell them as collectors figures. I'm hoping to do something similar soon, people like you and toy poloi etc are inspiring me to get in to fixing/nodding toys but also to make my own line of 12 figures, in the style of the original MOTU figures, 6 bad guys, 6 good, all with their own unique armour and weapons and a mini comic book that I will draw myself. I've basically become disabled about 4 years ago, don't get to leave the house, can't work a 9-5 job, feel very ill 90% of the time and very bored nit being able to work or do anything that I want, so I'm slowly amassing the fear I need to do all this. I've got a giant professional Lazer printer I picked up for £60 that I can use for card backs and the comics - the printer is one a company used for printing professional leaflets, takeaway menus, brochures advertising bumpf etc so is perfect. I've got a professional £1295 3d scanner that was brand new for £52 including p+p on eBay. A ender 3 3d printer for just over £100, plus I've spent another £50 on upgrades for it to make the print quality better. I've got/getting a lot of moulding stuff like silicone, resin etc for mould making. All I really need is to get myself a small vacuum former for making the blister bubbles to hold the figures on to the card backs, and a cheap resin printer for more high detail prints, maybe for weapons, armour, heads etc. like I say though, my disability takes it out if me, this heat is crippling me even more than I already am at the minute (i lost a leg and my other keg is knackered aswell) but by doing projects like this, I can work around all that, I'm not in a strict schedule, if I start feeling bad I can stop, come back to it when I feel better whether that be in half an hour or two weeks later, with no one bossing me about or telling me what to do and when to do it. I've had to adapt myself to my new life, I'm not butter about it, I don't feel sorry for myself, it's happened, it's my tough luck, I just need to nit worry about what I can't do and focus on what I can. I'm not going to feel sorry for myself when there are people in worse situations than I am. And I really enjoy every process of making my own creations. Creating the artwork, designing the figures, even packaging them up, because that gives you a finished product that would look good on any toy shop display, as well as in someone's toy collection display too. I've done little trial runs, I made a couple of figures by hand, used some food safe decorating silicone to build up moulds, then cast them in cheap resin, painted them and printed a backing card, and then cleaned up some old figure bubble packaging and stuck them on. It put a smile on my face to see something that I made on the cheap, that you would be hard pressed to tell wasn't a genuine, or at least a very good factory produced knock off, of a genuine figure. With the figures you build, I would think that the 3D scanning and printing method would be perfect, you can change sizes, move things around that you might think look better somewhere else, clean up edges etc and there's no chance of awkward edges etc getting stuck within the moulds which might occur if you go down the silicone and resin route. Also it's way cheaper to do the 3d thing. You can use a decent phone camera or iPhone to do pretty decent scans, clean them up using free 3d software and print them out using relatively cheap filament - I've even used plastic garden strimmer wire when I ran out of filament at around one in the morning, and I remembered I had a roll of it, and I researched it in Google and saw it was possible! It's basically the same stuff. But yeah filament is cheap, even cheaper if you make your own (you can rig up some equipment to turn pop bottles in to useable filament) so yeah, there you go. I'd love to see little 3,5" versions of this figure you made on a printed card back. I would buy one!
Stunning creativity, awesome music. One thought, remove the press studs from the coat and then reposition the buttons accordingly for better realism. A simple slit or thin dark line as the corresponding button hole. I do this on my 1/6 military kit bashes, hate the press stud look 😊
Thanks, I am aware of this problem and has happened in the past but I have also have figures that I've made years ago with no problem, If you coat the ends in super glue or resin, it won't leak. 👍
welcome to the DOLL CUSTOMIZING community!^^ those mannies with full thighs are horrid to cut. some others have hard plastic empty legs that are way more convenient for modding.
@@kitbashplague i cannibalize dolls with rubber legs to salvage the clicking joints inside. i used them as ankle joints or knee joints for other dolls (with hollow legs mostly)
Awesome! Gives me some ideas for all the bodies I have kicking around that are like that one… I did something similar with a Gi Joe grenade thrower body, combining a busted Maskatron, and made it a ‘prototype’ B.A.T.S.!🤣 Thanks for sharing! I still think the zombie was a close second to this one only cuz cyborgs are coool!✌️🤘🇨🇦
Thanks thanks for showing me how to make the rogue head I have a lot of action men dolls and I copied some of your ideas and put some of my ideas and I put something else into it so I'm not copying somebody else's idea I just wanted to know about the head so thank you so much for telling me about the rogue head that is so cool
