From Concept to Creation: TrapJaw

Another video slideshow uploaded by Youtube user M0delista.
If you ever wonder how they make those awesome action figures and joints design. You got to watch this.

From what I can see, they use Castilene for making the prototype. Use silicone block mold to cast the resin copy and them by adding joints. Dang! seeing this made me crave for a lathe.

On other news, I've finally made my joint system. I'll post the making of Toph v.2 soon. She got ball joints and stuff.
Stay tuned!

Very very cool indeed.

McFarlane Goddess - Behind the scenes

A couple of pictures of the making of theGoddess figurine. I actually hunted down mine and this figure is awesome!
I really like the multi-limb design. The paint application can be a little 'meh' but not so much. Great reference piece and also a great display piece.
You got to be patient though, the good stuff (yep, just one) start at 1:27(!)

Me likey!

For more WIP pictures from McFarlane studios, head on to the sculptor's corner. You'll be glad you did.
