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? lol

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

LOL...sorry. 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>

My main Hot Head i just tweeked a bit.

wanted him to look like he dose in the game.

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.

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.

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. Oh thats right, you said your going to do motorcycle form...still going to look cool. 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.
When i said..."Anyway, after i got him apart i had another idea <eg> " So when i disassembled mine...i realy tolk it apart.

Well i finaly got my Epic Ultra Rattle Shake done...Woo Hoo!
He turned out rather well....here he is!





Will post the others when i get them done....working on about 4 at a time...lol.

^That is amazing!!! Can I buy that

Yeah he dose look like Quickdraw a little bit...and sorry dspyro..i don't sell my repaints, but thanks im glad you like it.
Also Mattoemax...sure i can do a pic of them in the dark with a blacklight.

Sweet!
Anyone going to do a Raven star strike? Bonus points if the eyes glow white (I guess by putting a thin white cover on the eyes... can that work?)!
Fans could probably be solid black.

Thank you Doomslicer...

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?

Wow, that's awesome! Great work!

Cool Nice job there skylanderex. And i see your Grill Master Chop Chop....you never showed us a finished pic of him yet.
And are you satisfied with the GITD parts on my Epic Ultra's Matteomax?

Technically I never finished Chop Chop. Still looking for the right fabric for the apron.

I do like the GITD. Where did you get your paint?

It testors fluorescent paint.

I put a base coat of Tamiya Acrylic flat white.

Ice Rip Tide.. Pretty cool!

Quote: skylanderex

My first test casting. I was just testing the mold with some cheap material. Looks ok, I am going to try the real one this weekend..

How did you do that???? that looks amazing.

Its clear poly resin and I didn't let it cure long enough, I was just testing the mold.

was your mold made from 71-20 rubber silicone or what do you use

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

If it was any darker I'd say...

Wow! You found a green Riptide variant!

Yeah, but it looks SO much like the real thing!

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.

You guys are all amazing.

Thank you bro...and skylanderex is quit the modeling master.. ..all those figures he has remolded...verry cool bro! *thumbs up*

They look lighter an darker in the pictures because of the lighting when they took the pictures. My father was heavy into photography..and light is everything...lol. Also he was a camera repair tech back in the day when 35mm was all there was.
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.

Anyways to those of you that told me they like Shroomboom...i finaly finished him...here he is.

He kinda looks like a minion from despicable me.

Great work!

I think that looks amazing!

I made something a while back.

It's called Lego Drill Sergeant.

Made of actual Legos.

I'll post a pic soon.

Nice work Phoenix Lord. I've got a spare Shroom Boom laying around to customize. I just haven't had the time.

Here's Lego !

I am also working on accessories for my skylanders to make them look like they look in game.

Currently I am working on Eye-Brawl, but I only finished the gold hat so far. I still need to do the armor and everything.

I'm liking how it's turning out!


EDIT: Here he is so far!

Does he have a name, i would call him poison or toxic Shroomboom

Oh yeah i never did give him a name...sorry about that...lol....oops
Those names are good....How about Venom Shroomboom? Because just like those colorful frogs...they are quit venomous.

And there are some mushrooms that are quit deadly.

The 73-20 says it doesn't require vacuum but there were a lot of bubbles. I do have a vacuum pot rigged up, as well as a pressure pot.


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

Teach us plz.

Just look it up on YouTube bro....there are lots of videos on the 73-20 silicone....and there are videos on how to make your own vacuum machine. There rather simple to make.

Nothing fancy - my son wanted a blue Wham-shell. I like how it turned out.

Quote: StormbringerGT

I'm working on a new Sonic Boom.

My cousin came over and made his first painted Skylander. Not bad considering this is the first time he's done anything like this at all!

No offence, but it looks like wham-shell is a frickin SERIAL KILLER! cool!

^ 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!

Nice work, I really like this Christmas version, good job.

One I made for a fan...

Fright Rider as The Grinch as Santa...

I remember the movie

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!

Here is a finished Twin Blade Chop Chop.

VERY VERY NICE.
You should start doing (not too over priced) commissions (link to your Deviantart page or something to avoid forum policies)

Obviously I haven't checked this thread out in AGES!
I just send Skylanderex a message via eBay after seeing his custom on there!

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.

I would love to have any custom of yours skylanderex all your customs are some of the best I have ever seen. If I was to bid it be just because it was something you made "CUSTOM" than anyone else.
