cool skylanderex...a bit ambitious there bro...good luck. From your description, sounds like its going to look rather cool.
Oh...by the way...*sincker*...how much fun was it to take Hot Head apart? smilie lol



Had me cursing for an hour trying to get him off the base.



LOL...sorry. smilie Getting him off the base wasn't my problem....getting his body apart without braking it to badly....that was my hard part. Im wanting to put LED's in his hands like Jin did....i think his name is Jin...lol. Anyway, after i got him apart i had another idea <eg> smilie

My main Hot Head i just tweeked a bit.

wanted him to look like he dose in the game. smilie



Nice! Is that soldering i see?

Soldering?....ahh no its just yellow paint.

OK I must be missing something, how can you run a 1.8v LED from a 5v supply without a resistor?


The LED's arn't powered off the 5v power supply....they are powered off the RF 13.56mhz signal.

While the base was on the portal and powered I hooked up a multimeter to the wires leading to the LED and they are providing 5V DC.

http://i1180.photobucket.com/a...1112_183820.jpg


Ok...the RF 13.56mhz signal creates 5V....thats a good thing...get smaller LED's and you can put 4 in him....the one in his head, one in each hand and the one in his chest. Once you get it done its going to look WAY cool. smilie Oh thats right, you said your going to do motorcycle form...still going to look cool. smilie lol

And if there is a resistor in him...its not in his head. The only place the resistor could be is in the base...(its realy glued together well)...and im not going to brake it a part to find out. smilie
When i said..."Anyway, after i got him apart i had another idea <eg> smilie " So when i disassembled mine...i realy tolk it apart. smilie

I used an automotive 3 stage Candy Purple on this one. I spent more on the paint than I did the figure ..

Silver base coat, (gold on the vest) Purple mid coat and then a multicolor clear coat.



Soooo.... a coat of silver with clear/"candy" purple over it should give it the look of a metal cynder?



I looked at some images of the Metallic Purple Cynder, It looks like a color Shift pearl. Blue/Purple. I don't think the paint I used will get it very close. Does anyone have one of these Cynders to verify the paint first hand?


Hmm, doesnt seem like anyone here who has a metallic cynder can confirm...


Anyone?

Close, I used 73-20, that was a random guess. Ha



with 73-20 dont u need vacuum machine to get the bubbles out, i know 71-30 is much easier to work with in small applications but i use to use 73-20 in the past just could not get all the air bubbles out and was harder to work with i think i meant 71-30 hit the wrong button i havent worked with the stuff in awhile

It's really hard to tell from the one picture I have seen. But it looks like it needs to be a little more yellow. The new ones don't look to be the same color as Gill Grunt. Also keep in mind I died these after I cast them so that will make a little difference in the color as well. Still experimenting.



skylanderex if you have a Zoo Lou, look at his mace...all the new Green Variants are done with that shade of transparent green.
And if you don't have him yet...got get one...lol. smilie

So it is the mace clear green plastic...its the mix there using now. When they do the next batch for the Skylanders 4 figures....im sure it will change again.

And here he is dyed. The color looks a lot closer without the flash, but I'm still adjusting it.

^ Agreed, there are way too many steps and materials needed to tell you how to do it here. Plus its expensive. With the pressure pot, silicone, epoxy, dye and other materials I invested more than $300.

By the way I wasn't real happy with the 73-20, it left too many bubbles in the cast and it doesn't have a long enough working time to vacuum. I ordered some Smooth-On and will give it a shot this weekend.



I plan to google it, but jees, $300? Im saving up for a new laptop!

#1294 Posted: 01:58:43 03/12/2013
OMG Taht Grinch Rider is sooooo cool! Speaking of Christmas stuff, I had an Idea inspired by something off the SSF Boards:
A fully fledged 10 figure Santa Sleigh! Here is how it would work:
All the dragons (The 8, plus Flashwing) are painted like reindeer, with Spyro at the front being Rudolph. Now they would all be connected by reins (tiny felt things) and it would all lead up to a Santa sleigh with none other then Boomer as Santa Claus! Boomer is a waaaay better Santa candidate then Bumble Blast.
So this would require:
Spyro, Cynder, Camo, Zap, Sunburn, Whirlwind, bash, Drobot, Flashwing, and Boomer
helluvalotta paint
felt for the reins
a sleigh for boomer
and god knows what more. Could you imagine if someone did this?

Lol! So you're doing a twist on my idea? Show pics when you're done ok? I'm debating trying this myself if I can get a great deal on the series 3 Spyros. Not very likely to happen, but I think it would be hilarious to have it as a decoration for a tree, you know? Oh how Activision will wish they'd thought of it! They could've sold soo many Santa Boomer and his reindeer sets! smilie

Would love some more detail on how you made your mold and cast. Did you do a single piece or break the figure down?

Anyway, great work. I love it.
