Great bash!!!

Amazing work!!!

WIP.. Exodus

these are exceptional!

I do have a roll of abs, but have not messed with it yet. Once I have finished setting the printer up in my extra room I will play around with printing in abs. Right now it is set up in my closet in my bedroom and I do not want to print something in abs and walk into a small room with those fumes. I am currently using a .4 nozzle. I do have a .2, but it is clogged and I am having trouble unclogging it (to the point that I have given up on it for now). I think I will probably just buy another. I did buy a generic .2 from Amazon and it ended up scratching the plate really bad. No more generic nozzles for me. I am sticking to the Bambu ones.

I hear you. But it's not like working in a Lego factory or something in terms of the quantity of fumes produced. One roll of plastic is typically a kilo. It takes forever to go through one. I just make sure I have a window open and don't sit right beside the printer for long stretches. I have been exposed to far more Benzene from the years I smoked cigarettes than I ever will from 3d printing ABS. There are other nasties in the fumes as well so ventilation is still important. But I'm definitely not worried about Benzene exposure. Lighting model airplanes on fire as a child (making crash scenes) probably exposed me to more ABS toxins than my 3d printing hobby ever will. Good of you to bring up safety. Danger awareness if never a bad thing. PS I'd also be more concerned about ventilation and chemical exposure with a resin printer. I have one and haven't used it in years. That stuff is really nasty.

Superb. I always pick up on 'toxin' discussions , probably because I worked in an industry that was dominated by chemicals & ignorance . Just be careful , melted ABS gives off styrene & benzene . Benzene is a killer .

Fantastic results! Have you ever printed with ABS? I use it almost exclusively for my Minimate stuff. People talk about fumes but I'm still alive and I like the qualities of the material. Easier to sand than PLA among other things. What size nozzle are you using?

I used matte PLA this time. It seems to help cover layer lines better than regular PLA. I want a resin printer to make things like swords and knives (plus translucent things). Printing them in PLA leaves little lumps from the support trees. Sanding helps, but I still want them smoother. Resin printers look like a pain though. If I can find the room for one I may just end up getting one at some point.

Those are absolutely gorgeous! Are the 3d parts resin prints? Did you design them? Beautiful photo. I'm so impressed with all of it.

Oops, I just realized the wraps on one of the legs slipped up above the knee.

I figured I would start posting my customs again on here after not doing so for years. I occasionally post my customs on a few of the Facebook groups, but I know some of you do not visit them so I figured I would start posting them here again. My first customs are also my favorite Marvel army builders. I love the 1st release of The Hand Minimates the most, although I still like the second versions also. I have 8-9 of them and buy them up when I see them for a good price. I decided last week to make my own and go with their grey outfits instead of the red. Their uniforms, hood, arm and leg wraps, spear, sword and sheath, and shurikens are all 3d printed. The face decal I made in Adobe Illustrator. I am probably going to make at least 6-8 of them for my Hand army. I hope you all like them.

I'm a huge imaginext fan! DC minimates were my gateway drug. When they ended, I started buying these figures any change I got. The character options are amazing! My holy grail was two sets that were never sold in the US. A Wonder Woman set with Donna Troy, Artemis, Hippolyta, Cheetah, Steve Trevor and Hercules, and a Gotham female character set with Batwoman, Huntress, Killer Frost, Katana, Star Sapphire and Jessica Cruz. It took me ages to find them online below the price of a monthly mortgage but they do pop up now and then. I was only able to buy one of each but they are prized possessions!

Suddenly ,being able to buy Minimates online from TRU.com levelled the playing field for me. I became the guy emptying the previously, unobtainable inventory that became available. This was my garage-sale.

can't wait to see these! You do amazing work!

So, I do have more fusion ideas in the pipe line for Earth 999602. However, I am tinkering with some ideas for a different more original realm. Not sure the overall name yet but I am trying to build color themed characters. Right now I have Red Tempest, Daemon Blanco, Wicca Jade and Azure Specter as my primary heroic team. Then I have Dhark Shade, Violet Vixen and Auric Wraith as a trio for my villainous team. I am trying to work on a silver villain and an orange or yellow villain. Just not sure of their overall universe just yet. I will share once I have more of this idea in place with my story.

I so wish I could find MiniMates at a Garage Sale. I live in Normal, IL. We once had a Toys 'R Us and I know others in the area liked MiniMates as they were always picked over. I have never seen anyone looking at MiniMates on the pegs at my local TRU nor the Walgreen's. However, they always had been picked over when I could get there to get what I wanted. I have always scoured the local garage sales and never see any MiniMate items on them. So I am jealous that some have been found at a garage sale. My other new passion is for Fisher Price ImagiNext DC Superhero Figures and I have a hard time finding them at garage sales as well. When I do find them they are in not so good condition.

Prior to the Namor post I found myself hunting an image of the cover of Sub-Mariner #1 ...John Buscema's classic 1968 issue that I bought fresh from the newsstand . I specifically wanted to remind myself of the image before I posted this..... .... I would have put a £1000 bet on the 'fact' that the cover features him carrying his trident with the points facing upwards ! No prize for me .

i had an order come in from Luke with some fun extras, which included a trident! both of my namors are armed! and now i find myself thinking about Brick Tamland from San Diego's Channel 4 News

Rumor was he was going to, but WWE messed with his Visa and he had issues from then for a bit. He was potentially looking at a push with the Deathriders and splitting from Mox but yeah... this just SUCKS.

I don't watch wrestling and do not know him but I did hear about this on the news. My heart goes out to his family, friends and fans.

I was hoping he would have won the heavyweight belt when AEW first started up. He was such a great heel at the time. Everything he said and did was believable. I will miss seeing him perform in the ring.

Wait what Anson Mount character got a Minimate? Or was he messing with the comic Black Bolt?

I have a photo of Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter (in costume!) each with Jessica Jones set. So, they saw them, and I gather we’re each given one. D’Onofrio I have a photo too, which is funny, because we technically weren’t allowed to make him. I’m not sure if that was a likeness thing, or if it was a Sony / Disney Kingpin thing though. At any rate, I was worried when I saw the pic, in case it was at his request, then we might have upset him. But I gather now from interviews with him about wanting to fight Spider-Man that it was probably a shared character problem. We might’ve accidentally got around it by calling him Wilson Fisk, which was only really because he wasn’t called the Kingpin in Season 1.
