the body could be swapped to a suntan body to accomodate that Villa HS. But i'm happy with the HS that comes with it. cheers!
Glad they included a tool!
And yes, body swap would be easier.
An online community to discuss and share news about sixth-scale figures, with an emphasis on either custom or commercial articulated figures.

That a great idea, and a few months ago, that’s probably what I would have done. Being an all or nothing kind of guy though, I’m finding that my best experiences in 1:6 are either complete figures that I like right out of the box or building a character from the ground up. I don’t enjoy trying to “fix” figures or “make it work”. That’s where about 90% of my frustration has come from…trying to push square pegs into round holes.

Ah ok, that's fair enough. I view everything as a potential project (aside from perhaps Hot Toys figures, lol), but I get that not everyone shares that mindset. ;p
I think budget has a lot to do with the perceived cynicism. If you have a large budget, getting figures that don't meet expectations isn't such a hit. You can quickly and easily replace parts to improve it, or just shove it to the back of the shelf and move on to the next thing.Kitsune1000 wrote:
Coming from my other hobby of Gundam models we have the saying "Gunpla is Freedom" meaning you can do whatever you like. Do whatever makes you happy.
I've seen a lot of cynical views in this hobby in the short time I've been collecting and just wanted to step back and introspect why we are in this hobby?
skywalkersaga I share your views, nothing will be perfect and i see it a challenge to improve a figure where I can. But I can see Xavion2004 views as some just don't enjoy this aspect.
Overall just do what makes you happy.
Sorry to hear that sky. It's a pricey hobby, even when finances are stable, let alone being between jobs. Hopefully both of our circumstances will improve soon.skywalkersaga wrote:Ghost808 -- I totally get that. I'm out of work atm, myself, so I barely have a budget at all. In fact, I will prob have to take a break from the hobby soon for that reason....
ETA: Whoops, I missed Diana's awesome photos! She looks amazing in front that fireplace!

That's what I thought! I'm glad I got lucky here, but I suppose you could straighten the hair with Sky's hot water technique. You shouldn't have to though.brassco wrote:@Diana the red atmosphere setting was great for this figure. Nicely done!
how come your figure's hair seems straighter then mine? did i get a variation??

That is basically what it is - I just made some roots out of modelling clay so that the driftwood can stand upright like a tree. Still a bit short, but okay for some pics
Exactly. That's what I was thinking.shazzdan wrote:Valiarde wrote:shazzdan wrote:I would make a twisted tree like that by gluing a few pieces of driftwood together.Diana wrote:Wow, Valiarde, fantastic photos!! I clearly need to get myself a tree. Or rather make one.

It works brilliantly.
