Custom Projects and Modding Thread
I've thought about this for a while, and I thought, "why not have everyone post their custom ideas here?" . What I'm thinking is that we could make a gigantic list of custom/modding project ideas and we could all help each other make them or at least contribute and polish the ideas.
LIST OVERVIEW:
Katajanen:
Murmeltier to British Army style
Asuka to ...that outfit (whatever it's called)
Unused Shinki concepts
Strike Witches conversions
Hornisse pistols for shinkis
Xehn:
Thetis, Type Buzzsaw
Type Livewire(Naked repainted Grapprap, lots of wires everywhere)
rantinan:
Straps and Kite custom action figures
Gunbunny Combo
Pritty Save me Schmetterling
Project Flying Pomock
Xerain:
Chise
Aigis
Caterwaul:
Kaiju type MMS G. Anne
Seeker type MMS Stella
MMS Asuka US Navy-themed
Moth type MMS Motte
----------
My personal list:
1. Modding Murmeltier to British Army style.
-I have four pages of drafts and planning on how to work this out. I have trouble getting some elegance out of the Comet and Sherman Firefly, so the thing that is missing here is styling it up a bit.
-Secondly, the remodeled hairstyle and uniform of Murmeltier. I still have nothing besides a beret and the emblem to put on it.
2. Asuka's alternate outfit.This.
3. Unused Shinki concepts (ie, Bear)
4. Strike Witches conversions
Easiest and most obvious to start with is Tomoko.
5. Partio repaint
Really simple though. Two-tone with purple highlights. The two colors though, are the question.
6. Hornisse pistols for shinkis. Complete with pinky-raised hands.

Re: Custom Projects and Modding Thread
In progress now: Straps and Kite custom action figures (my partner and I met on an RP board. This is a project to recreate our characters as an 7th anniversary present)
To be worked on: Gunbunny Combo; Waffe dolphin, Bunny, Zelongrand and Movie ironhide team.
Pritty Save me Schmetterling. A very non PG rated version of this figure.
Project Flying Pomock. Flying squirrel girl.

Re: Custom Projects and Modding Thread
I want to make Chise from Saikano and Aigis from Persona 3. Those are my long term projects.

Re: Custom Projects and Modding Thread
I've got several Shinki projects on the backburner that I'd like to complete at some time.
In progress (For something like a year and a half by this point heh
Kaiju type MMS G. Anne. (Based around a PVC Gigan figure I found, arms and legs are done. Need to get an extra Graffias for this one)
Seeker type MMS Stella (A mod of Arnval with F-15 parts to essentially make her a Starscream-girl )
Planning - Something i'd like to do eventually
Fighter type MMS unnamed - a mod of Asuka to make her US themed, probably based on Marine Corsairs
Moth type MMS Motte - A repaint of Schmetterling to make her more lolita punk styled.

Re: Custom Projects and Modding Thread
Xehn: What's Type Livewire going to be about with all those wires?
Xerain: You're gonna use Eukrante for Chise, right?
Caterwaul: I can definitely see the Corsair idea out of Asuka. The only problem is that you have to make gull wings. Have you considered the Wildcat?
Someone on the chat suggested a Type Pirate. For Caterwaul and everyone else, I remember Maririn from Peace@Pieces that looked piratey yet gothic lolita, with a heart-shaped eyepatch.

Re: Custom Projects and Modding Thread
It was a thought, yes. Could have Eukrante parts + an Arnval head repaint. However I'm not fond of damaging my existing shinki, so I was thinking of getting into resin casting. Make some casts of Eukrante's back piece so I can modify it. I was considering attempting a head sculpt from scratch using super sculpey, then maybe casting that. I've been researching how to do a ball bearing in a head for a while. Maybe I shoudl just use a naked head and make hair...Katajanen wrote:Xerain: You're gonna use Eukrante for Chise, right?

Re: Custom Projects and Modding Thread
Xerain: That means you can sculpt the hair to give it a little more volume, and make them look less stiff, which is the problem sometimes with the hair on Arnval and Asuka. I look forward to this, also because it saves me time on making that pale yellow hair that den Arnval (ver 1) has.

Re: Custom Projects and Modding Thread
I can't think of a good way to explain it, so all I can say is... keep your eyes open. I should at least *try* to rig up an example eventually.Katajanen wrote:Xehn: What's Type Livewire going to be about with all those wires?

Re: Custom Projects and Modding Thread
It is still a long term project, though I do intend to try head sculpts eventually. I haven't actually had much sculpting experience, but what I HAVE done has been encouraging. I've progressed rapidly enough where someday doing a head sculpt feels like a realistic goal.Katajanen wrote:Xerain: That means you can sculpt the hair to give it a little more volume, and make them look less stiff, which is the problem sometimes with the hair on Arnval and Asuka.

As for shorter term goals, I finally have all the camera equipment necessary to do stop motion...
