I Made A Female Stormtrooper Action Figure - Mass Effect Andromeda Repaint

Күн бұрын

I had an action figure from Mass Effect Andromeda stored away with my collection of action figures for quite some time. Recently, a friend of mine gave me a 3D printed Stormtrooper head that he was planning to throw away. I knew I wanted to created a custom female stormtrooper. This inspired me to take my Sara Ryder action figure and embark on a custom repaint project, transforming it into a unique and cool female Stormtrooper.
I also had the opportunity to experiment with a technique suggested by some viewers, which involved creating a custom head ball socket using a combination of Vaseline and hot glue.
Enjoy this custom action figure repaint video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...
"It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"

I dig the final look, the weathered look is definitely better. I think what went a bit wrong is your can of white did something funky, probably because the can was cold maybe. I usually warm my cans up in some hot water before i use them to prevent such issues. She needs a base though, give it a nice red desert one and dust some red-orange powder on the armor!

@DRToysCreations 11 ай бұрын

The can was plenty warm, it’s been in the 90’s here. But you are correct, the spay is funky… I was using an acrylic based spray and it lays heavier and left little specks. Good eye!😃

@PearlJam2k6 11 ай бұрын

@@DRToysCreationsman that's a shame :( I feel like it lost some detail on the figure because of it. Could've been the reaction of the plastic as well, there's so much variation between materials that you never can really guess what'll happen.

I think it would look more toy and less figure if there was no weathering, but I always find weather pure-white objects to be a tricky business as there's a fine line between "I just cleaned it, but the crevices are hard to get into" and "I fell in the mud and this is what it looks like now." This one looks great, regardless! Fantastic job!

Hey Dave, next time you have a dodgy print like that helmet, try Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer. You brush it on just like paint, but it fills a lot of imperfections, and it can be sanded when dry.

Really cool . I've just got into kitbashing and was wondering if there's any tips on finding the right figures to suit a custom you have in mind ,I don't have a fodder collection yet so have to buy specific body's or heads that 1 will fit the build style/clothing and 2 will be the right scale . Thanks if you are able to answer,either way keep doing great content I really enjoy it and it is in part responsible for my new found hobby 👍 .

@DRToysCreations 11 ай бұрын

So, that’s one of the tricky parts of this hobby. If you do have a specific thing in mind you almost have to go buy this figures at full price and there’s guys that do that. But for me I have collected figures from yard sales and thrift stores over the years and when you have an idea you go hunting through your bins. Even then sometimes you can’t find the perfect match. Sometimes there’s those moments where a perfect match just kinda makes itself (you’ll know it when that happens, it’s amazing) 😃 That’s a long way of saying start hunting for your fodder and have fun! 😃

@galenkelly4859 11 ай бұрын

Crazy question, what was the word you used when sanding the 3d head sculpt, was it " ghosting"? Is that referring to the lines made by 3d printer? Just curious. I've bought some 3d printed items some had lines that were really showing and some didn't. Depending on what the item is I kinda like the lines. Of course a helmet sculpt wouldn't look right with the lines but a few thrones that I've purchased the lines looked cool. Awesome job.

@DRToysCreations 11 ай бұрын

Yes, I was referring to the ridge that was showing from the putty I used to fill the hole. I have also just started playing around with 3D printing and the striations that the printer leaves drives me nuts!😅

I thought maybe some brownish on the lower legs, rear end, and lower arms might have made her look like she's on a Tatooine like world. The dirtier & grittier, the better. She looks really great to me. I think you did an excellent job. I know the helmet was given to you, but I would have loved to see her sporting a Biker Scout helmet. Then you could have custom made her a bike. LOL 😉
