My 12 action figure (scratch built)

[tagron]

Hey all, remember me? Its been quite some time since ive posted any mini's, primarily due to the fact that school keeps me far too busy for painting. Buuuut, i just finished up a 7 month project for school/portfolio and figure I would post it up and see what you guys think of it.


So its a 12 inch tall action figure. Most of the large, visible portions of it where CAD modeled in a program called Rhino, and printed out via a rapid prototyping machine. The rest if it, was a mix of sculpting, and kitbashing. The paint is Tamia light blue metalic.

So here it is! (btw, please forgive the format of the pages, they were designed to be shown individually in a portfolio book)

Nice job...
Man I wish I had access to a rapid prototyping machine.
Seen what they can do and boy would it make some project so easy.

Nice mini. Must be very cool to paint. I just think you coul highlight more the red.

yeah dude, rapid proto is the way to go.
But, its got some major pitfalls, mainly, price. This print took 3 trays to print, and i got it done in a clear plastic/like resin, SO it ended up costing me a grand, and thats with a school discount. But, as technology progresses, hopfully we will all be able to afford a desktop version!

I wish I had an action figure like that when I was young
Hell, I could still use one

You paid a thousand bucks to print this thing off? Now that's dedication. But if I were a potential employer - toy company, model company or film fx studio - I'd be pretty impressed.

wow
i dig this
probably cant afford it but wouldnt mind one.
dunno if your done with the paint or not
but the front vent is showing the resin and i think you meant nuclear powerfist
if youve shown the sell sheets already than "IGNORE ME"

Last I checked that these guy were so popular that there was basically a lottery twice a month for have your character done.

The scary thing is it prints in colour.
