Hey Dearth, are you still working on the bossmen?

The Bossmen are in a box in pieces somewhere, I need to haul them out and do their final assembly.

So what kind of tools and materials do you use to make these custom figures? Do you use any molds and liquid plastic sort of material to make custom parts or is it some kind of clay? I've somewhat had interest in how figures are made and how to make custom figures. It sure looks like a lot of fun making them. I like the mini instruments. When I used to live in a different state, there was a small hobby shop that had stuff like that. I think I've seen doll house like furniture and props at material stores. It's amazing how much detail goes into those miniature props. Especially grass and trees. Seeing all this kind of makes me want to learn more about stop motion animation and experiment a little bit, Robot Chicken style animation. lol Which reminds me, there was this website that I went to years ago where someone collected the old playmates Simpsons action figures and animated them. One was really cool with Disco Stu dancing to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean.

For the most part, I use Super Sculpey, which is sort of like clay but can be made permanent via boiling it. Check out this other older thread, which has a bit more in-progress info... http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/custom-figures-and-dioramas.38562/
