Incredible work! I was especially tickled to see a Sergeant and Disco Link, and tuxedoed Strangepork. Think you'll ever make a biker Link and Piggy?
No plans at present for Biker Link and Biker Piggy, but it does sound like an intriguing idea. Any custom Link is a VERY time-consuming project, so after I finish one, I generally avoid him for a while.
I thought at one point about making Link in the red track suit (like when Peter Sellers had him tied up in knots) but that figure wound up becoming Link-as-Robert-Muldoon for Jurasick Pork.
No way you make these. How is that possible?! (DO you make these?) You have got to tell me how you made these.
Glad you like them. The methods vary from figure to figure, but they usually involve techniques like:
*Subtractive sculpting-- where details on the original toys are removed either with a knife or a rotary hobby tool like a Dremel
*Additive sculpting-- where new details are added, usually with Super Sculpey
*Spray-painting-- sometimes the entire figure, sometimes only certain areas while other areas are masked off to keep the Palisades paint
*Hand-painting-- maybe just a few details, or maybe the entire figure
And then there are all sorts of things that can be done by adding craft items to the figures with various glues. Hobby Lobby is a veritable cornucopia of cool feathers and textures and dollhouse accessories that can be added to Palisades figures with great results.
You can even make 'figures' entirely from scratch. I did that with craft materials for my Bossmen, but in one of the other threads on here there's a guy overseas who sculpts his entire figure out of Sculpey, without using a Palisades figure as the framework, like I do. Of course, his are non-poseable, whereas mine can usually work just as well as the production toys, so to each his own.
Anyway, I know I've been missing for a while, Lamango, but I hope to get productive soon. My old computer died and we just got a donated replacement that looks like it will be even more powerful than the dead one was. So cross your fingers!
