I WANT THAT AYA FIG SO BAD

THEY'RE PRETTY NICE, ZE.

But of course they are since they are garage kits and not figures.

>>2103293
And I think they are limited release with only 300 each

>>2103316
Fuck them, fuck them to death

I want to hot glue these so hard.

>>2103316
Too right. And at the fest.

Oh well. Here's to prepainted ones on ebay showing up in 2 months for 600 dollars!

Raymoo has nice eyes

>>2103333
I would pay that for Wriggle.

AYAYAYAYAYA
Do want :(

DO WANT THEM ALL

Bloooomers.

Aya's hair seems kind of long but do want.

Why don't you guys just learn to make them yourself? It can't be that hard, right?

>>2103816
I've actually been contemplating this. I took notes from that video of the guy making the Cirno figure. Gathering materials seems like a pain in the ass though, especially since I probably won't end up producing anything I like!

>>2103816
It can be hard to make your own figures completely, yes. Putting together kits isn't too hard, but it takes time and interest, something most people might not have.

>>2103821
I can tell you now, that a lot of us have a SHITTON of time, and interest.

It's the dedication part that's the problem.

>>2103820
What video?

>>2103810
I think she looks cuter with it that long.

>>2103831

I just happened to see it on the rankings one day. I'm sure it's not the best or the only one out there.

>>2103836

When birds mate, they perform a cloacal kiss.

>>2103839

/jp/ - Bird sex

>>2103837
Ah, I've seen this fig before. Pic related!

>>2103844
Strike Freedom Cirno

Touhou figs are the fucking worst.

>>2103837
Can someone translate? I'm curious.

>>2103844
Well now you know of its origins?

>>2103859
Too much work, maybe someone else will do it. He describes each step as he does it, but I'm pretty sure you can get a decent idea from just watching the video.

I've actually been considering learning how to make my own for a while now. I have the time and interest, but how much does it cost?

>>2103908
I think that depends on how easily you can access materials? From scoping out the local hobby shops, I'm pretty sure I could get started for under $100... but I haven't really calculated it in detail.

>>2103906
I saw the process pictures before actually, I just didn't know he had a video of them. This Aya is his as well.

>>2103920
Yeah, I just finished skimming the video for that. Interesting stuff. I think the Cirno video had more detail about the non-figma related processes though?

Amusing choice of base model.

>>2103932
Yup, the Aya is more of a mod than the Cirno which is original.

Last I have of his.

>>2103918
There's probably quite a few hobby shops around my area, I'll go check them out tomorrow. Thanks anon.

>>2103918
Oh my God, this is going to be a fucking mess. I'm going to have to bed for forgiveness to whatever Touhou I happen to desecrate.

>>2103936
Ah, I hadn't seen that one. Cute, but I like the fussy details on his other figs better.

>>2103942
Mm. One of the reasons I am hesitant. I can barely draw, so I'm not sure what makes me think I can sculpt.

You could also make something small or just mod a figma or something if you don't want to take the plunge.

>>2103952
Hard work and guts, anon. Hard work and guts will overcome everything. (I'm also scared to see how my first attempt will go)

>>2103963

I wish I was any good at this sort of thing.

>>2103293
I'd buy that Marisa fig...Looks really nice.

Well, for the first, it would likely be better to go for an SD-type of body rather than a "normal" figure.

>>2103936
Like that.

>>2103918
I forgot to mention... that's not including the painting materials.

>>2103963
That looks like it would be a lot less onerous. Hmm. Plus it doesn't require sculpting folds. I fucking hate folds.

>>2103969
Good luck to you.

>>2103816
e2046

Bump

>>2105143
What's this?

>>2105190
No idea, but it looks cool.

Bump.

Rerererepost of this T2 figure.

And to whoever I was talking about this in a previous thread, here's a better picture of the newer, uglier patterned QB Alice.

This. It's so fucking cute.

>>2106940
That is the nicer chair of the two, but they are still really nice.

For figure chairs.

>>2106930
Oh god, that is hideous. I like the black panties, but the white boots and leopard print are just terrible.

>>2106958
Yeah. The black looks nicer with the exposed butt part or whatever.

Also, this is like..the third figure for this character, assuming it's the same one. Missing large onigiri this time.

>>2106931

bun bun bun

Don't forget the healthy version.

>>2104002
>I forgot to mention... that's not including the painting materials.
Jesus Christ, shit's expensive.

Still waiting for pictures of this painted Sheryl.

Older ニーダ

Gave some more thought to making my own, and SD seems like the way to go for a talentless hack like myself. Picture related, will be my first attempt.

>>2107056
You could try to sculpt something random rather than a figure for your first attempt. A yukkuri or something.

>>2107065

Yes! Sukusuku hakutaku!

I started working on making my own Marisa. I got a little discouraged and quite after I realized she had excessively broad man shoulders. Aside from that it actually looks decent for someone with no experience. I'm thinking of trying something easier and then coming back to it.

>>2107065
I want one of those...

>>2107065
>yukkuri
Might be a good idea as well. If I aim low enough, I might actually succeed.
>>2107101
Mind posting what you've done so far? I'm very curious.

>>2107065
I made a yukkuri once, it turned out awfully. I'm praying that subtraction (and better materials than decade-old fimo) will have an effect on the end product.

>>2107350
Oops, forgot to specify that I wasn't the anon you were replying to.

kero

>>2103468

Arrived yesterday.
（ ˃ ヮ˂）

>>2107829
Oh jesus, that's cute.

>>2107101
>it actually looks decent for someone with no experience
Are you sure?

What must I do to acquire that Aya fig?

>>2107761

I can't wait for preorders ;-;

>>2107829
Sugoi sugoi.

>>2108026
Go to treasue fest, pay ¥6000~

>>2108026
Sleep with everyone in gensokyo

I've yet to find a figure that I actually want to buy besides this one.

>>2106930

Holy shit I am glad I got the first one.

Also what happened to winter wonfes this year? Is there going to be a summer one because I am planning to go to that.

>>2108926
Yeah, but the darker theme overall is nice!

Also last I saw the summer one was in...July I think?

>>2108936
i love you ponpo-kun!!

>>2108936

Last summer one was in early august and the wonfes site has this posting which I can't read anything from other then that they cancelled winter.

Wonder if they're still going nuts over the escalator incident.

>>2108941
Eh?

>>2108964
Wasn't the October one still on? Oh well.

Anyway if I remember correctly, its July 26th.

This arrived a few days ago. Really worth it. I'm glad I had a depression during the finals and ordered it to make me feel better.

>>2108964

escalator incident?

>>2108986
Looks nice. Are you going to get the Touko?

I whish I had a fig but I don't have the money

>>2108990

Last wonfes one of the escalators broke from being loaded with too many fatass nerds, and started falling backwards with everyone still on it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KnhGnegjAA

Total panic

>>2109001
Probably yes. It will be out around the next finals, so it could work out well.

>>2109023
lol

Also note the foreigner in front of the camera not knowing what the fuck, and casually walking away.

cool stuff

>>2109046
Neat. What's the nun-looking girls name in KnK again? I wish they made a figure for her.

>>2108978
I have always wanted that one.. But I'll have to settle for this upcoming one. So glad a new one is coming out when I'm not as poor as I was when Komugi was first coming out.

>>2109127
Oh yeah. Azaka. Hopefully someone will make a nice one after the 6th movie is out.

>>2109136
Or actually you probably mean Asagami Fujino. Azaka looks like a nun only sometimes.

>>2103293

You post things thinking you're on the cutting edge, don't you, Klein?

These aren't fresh news, anyone who is even moderately in the know has known about these far in advance.

For all the idiots crying about getting them, wait a few months and E2046 will have recasts. Although, I'll be buying the originals when I'm there in 3 days.

It's great to live in Japan.

>>2109136
It seems doubtful, but here's hoping!

>>2109128
I think the first was nicer. That one's okay too, though!

>>2109142

Cool story, broski.

>>2109142

I think Klein is cool :(

>>2109142
I think Klein is a good dude and you shouldn't be talking like this to him.

>>2109142
Oh, you saw pictures of these months ago? Jealous!

>>2109140
The one who is under the collapsing bridge or whatever. I forget, really.

>>2109152
Why do you defend Klein so much, ZUN? Is she your waifu?

>>2109162
Any more pics of this one?

>>2109168

Oh hey, a figure thread.

I've still got a large portion of my collection for sale.

All of these plus a Phantasmoon figure. Everything ships free in the USA.

Email me (see email field) if something interests you and I'll give you a price. Everything is negotiable.

Pic related. Everything here is $40 or less, except Phantasmoon who isn't pictured.

>>2109165
Tripbros support each other or something.

>>2109192
Anonymous is legion, tripcodes aren't.

If we don't support each other we won't be able to go against you guys when the argument is about tripcode hating.

>>2109128
Is this the same series?

>>2109208
Nurse Witch Komugi-chan

Ask me anything next time because I know a lot about anime.

>>2109213
Sorry I meant figure maker, etc. I think they are both wave, so it's okay.

>>2109213
You're not so bad after all.

>>2109220

>>2109208 is by griffon

there really needs to be more komugi stuff.

>>2109220

>>2104002
A decent airbrush is going to cost you $100 minimum. You'll also want at least three small regular brushes which is $20 minimum if you want them to be anything but shit quality. +stuffu+paints. Sculpting tools you can just scourge around.

I've accumulated a (tiny) bit of experience sculpting 28mm scale figs, though they were all monsters and stuff so obviously ended up larger than a human. Been thinking about trying animufigs, at least they're hell of a lot of larger which makes things easier.
Can anyone here name any good putty/mass/whatever to use for larger figs like this? I've used green stuff and milliput but those are so expensive that the material costs for a 1/7 scale figure would be around 50-100$. Anything cheaper that's still sculptable?

>>2109244
Tamiya makes some apparently good sculpting putty that isn't too expensive. Hobbylinc.com used to have it but not sure anymore.

>>2109244

You sound like you used to do minitures like me.

I made a pretty big mistake on my first kit attempt by trying to transfer miniture knowledge and techniques.

I found a good local hobby store that stocks tamiya stuff so I don't know any online places.

>>2109259
Seconded, a lot of people seem to use Tamiya. I've found some Tamiya stuff in my neighbourhood and it didn't seem exorbitant.

What I didn't happen upon was resin. I didn't spot any familiar brands, but I assume that North America has some equivalent available.

>>2109244
Mm. $120 isn't terrible, I suppose.

>>2109244
>>2109265
>>2109294
I do not know what you guys are talking about, but I'm using some cheap ass clay just to see what I can do.

Uh, how do you prevent it from becoming a clusterfuck of fingerprints? How do they get it so damn smooth?

>>2109316
Also, I'm so very sorry, Yuyuko.

>>2109316
Protip: use something that's not clay
As for smootheness, water is always the first answer, with miniature putties just finger+water makes for a very good smoothing tool. Not sure if that'll work with sand, you might need to use a very fine sandpaper after it's hardened.

>>2109259
>>2109265
>>2109294
Thank you people, I'll try to find this Tamiya thing then.
>You sound like you used to do minitures like me.
Semi-fa/tg/uy reporting in, I'm still doing them miniatures.

>>2109316
Subtraction.
The guy making the cirno figure slapped putty onto a 'skeleton' frame, then shaved it away with chisels, knives and fine files.

Another useful thing with tamiya is that a lot of kit makers use tamiya color codes on their color guides, so for the sake of uniformity it's a good idea using tamiya.

toehoe figma would be awesum

This thread is so informative.

Damn it, /jp/, now instead of wasting money on buying figures, I want to waste even more money trying to make one.

Morning bump. This thread has been damn informative, I'm hoping we see some anons posting their creations in the next few weeks.

>>2110675

I also got some of the TTGL model kits. Enki and Gurren Lagann.

>>2107294
>Mind posting what you've done so far? I'm very curious.
Here is what I had for it so far and also a rough Madotsuki I started on after seeing this topic.

>>2107991
>Are you sure?
Put an emphasis of "for someone with no experience." I know its no where near good by normal standards.

>>2110797
The Madotsuki is looking okay so far.

upskirt plox

I'm just now guessing it's better to put excessive amounts, let them harden, and carve out the proper shape, rather than trying to add on the proper shape in the first place?

>>2112010

So, uh, did any of you guys that tried sculpting just get a fistful of reality?

>>2113317
I didn't do my research and used a cheap oil-based clay. Which basically means it's never going to harden.

>>2113317
I intend to practice with Play-Doh before buying anything expensive.

>>2113351
Enjoy having Yukari disintegrate into a million pieces when you try to put on her hat.

>>2113513
At least it will smell addictive and chemically.

>>2112057

haha is that lego?

>>2113983
Not sure what the base is. Some sort of molding stand for the figure.

>>2105190
>>2105143
Saw that posted a while ago on /a/, along with this. I'm also curious as to what they're from.

>>2114093
Actually I did some research myself, it's a figure based on something by Makoto Kobayashi aka longlong.

>>2114115
He's just the sculptor, though. I'm not sure if the characters are actually *from* anything.

>>2114133
>>2114115
Ah, excellent. It's quite nice looking.

>>2114036
Huh?

>>2114424
He's using the legos to hold the silicon. I'm guessing that's the part of the mold after the clay's been removed, leaving the silicon half. Looks like he's preparing to make the second half of the mold.

>>2114437
Oh I see the lego now. I thought they were asking about the white part.

Yep, definitely moving fast tonight.

Timotei

>>2115587

That one's super nice.

Is it out yet, man?

>>2115604
Not yet, BROTHER.

>>2115618

That Kanata...

Not so nice.

Who's making these? GSC?

>>2115623
Dreamteach / http://www.hobby-wave.com/ for both.
July something. Amazon says 25th.

Also this from wave next month.

>>2108986

Its a pain in the butt to get a good picture of her that shows the details of the kimono ...

(Picture obvious related and I had to play around with it on photoshop)

Oh and do not put her directly in sunlight since PVC and ultraviolet rays do not mix ...

>>2115669

Wave has improved a lot recently. Hasn't it?

>>2115689
Well, mostly. Their Gunner, that Konata etc are all nice but stuff like their new To Heart one isn't anything special.

These Wave limiteds were sugoi sugoi.

>>2115767

>>2115682
Neat, where did you buy it from?

>>2115909
Just google Ryogi Shiki PVC, everywhere has it. Amazon has it.

Has anyone seen any non-stock pictures of this Index? I'd like to see how she actually turned out.

>>2116081
Thanks, I hope mine gets here fast.

Best figure ever!
RAN RAN RUUUUUUU~!

>>2116269

>>2116269
It's not the best though, I think.

>>2116269
Multi-winged Flan is best.

>>2116281
Because of bloomers~

>>2116180
Stock, but huge resolution if you want to check details or something.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AQJSRV07

>>2116293
Wow, you weren't kidding when you said huge resolution. The seams on her robe, and the way her safety pins look are kind of worrisome. Wonder if they'll make any other ones.

Looking pretty tied up there, Alice.

>>2109046

Why does her leg look broken?

There is only one Touhou resin I want

>>2117060

>>2117034
I was thinking of making a "MOKO Special Edition", but this indicates it may have been done already.

>>2117161
Well this one is a poor attempt so feel free to make another.

A Saber version!

>>2117179
Wait, what?

You made this?

Sorting a topic with "but"... you really must be an extremely retarded child, huh ?

>>2117198
>sorting a topic with "But"

Sorting indeed!

>>2117194
Nope.

>>2117203
I'm drunk and wanted to say "starting"
but considering I'm saging the shit of this world, where this crap thread is included, it makes no diference ! yay !!

>>2117214
Once you've sobered up, you might notice that he started the thread with "Fig Thread".

>>2117214
What is this shit.

Not sure what this Kagami is all about...

>>2118482

>>2118509
Psht, is that it? Weird thing to make something out of.

>>2118562
Kagaboo is cute

>>2118598
Well maybe... >>2107065 is still cuter, though.

>>2118612
If you like getting caved by a furball.

Len has an ugly face here.

Bump for a candid friend
