I'm still alive! CUSTOMS, DIORAMAS, TUTORIALS
มุมมอง 1.6Kวันที่ผ่านมา
We are talking CUSTOMS (action figures), making DIORAMAS, future TUTORIALS, and talking about some opportunities I recently received. FIGURES: This custom figure is one I have been wanting to make for a while and finally pushed myself to paint it, weather it, and sew some soft goods. DIORAMA: The diorama is one that I'm still working on, but thought it would be cool to share the process up to w...
Hiya Toys Rambo Action Figure Review
มุมมอง 26814 วันที่ผ่านมา
Rambo is a legend! Having a Rambo action figure wasn't something I thought I wanted, but he's awesome! I'm not sure what other companies make Rambo action figures, but Hiya Toys did a great job with this one. He's based on the first movie, First Blood, and I think they are already making more versions. Check out this review and let me know what you think of the figure! Are you a fan of Rambo? W...
How to make little toys look BIG: Toy Photography inspired by Gambit
มุมมอง 1.4Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Let's learn how to make little toys look big! I wish I had the giant HasLab Sentinel, but for now, this little Sentinel will do. Episode 5 from X-Men 97 was so epic and definitely gave me a lot of inspiration. This was going to be a shorter setup video, but I got a lot of people commenting they liked what I did with the scaling of the little toy and enlarging it by using my tv/digital backgroun...

🔥
Just watched this video Matt, great work. I don't have Photoshop but do have GIMP so will give this a go. I have a Yolopark Optimus Prime figure where I struggled to get a decent light glow so will try this effect
Nice! That’s awesome. Let me know how it goes. I have tried GIMP before but it’s been a while. And thank you!
Wow
Thanks!
I love it
Thanks so much!
W fig mid poses
Haha I’ll take mid 😂 I was just excited to finally get him
That’s really cool!
Thanks so much!
Coolest thing I ever saw
Ayy that’s awesome! Thank you
Cool, now can you give us a tutorial video on what you used and how you did it. Thanks from everybody amazed at this video.
Haha!! Since you asked, I will do it 🙌🏼 thanks so much too :)
IS THAT THE GUY FROM FORTNITE
He’s coming!!!! Hahaha
Great review brother. I got one coming and can’t wait. That sucks yours is missing the clip for the M-16. I’m really looking forward to getting the M-60. I have a couple from gridiron studios, a flimsy one that came with the classified rock & roll, and hoping this will be the best one out the group. I wish Valaverse would make a M-60 for Action Force. I’m really impressed with how his neck moves. That’s next level articulation. Thanks for sharing and have a good day sir.
Yo thanks so much! And that’s cool, the M-60 is awesome. I really need to get some Action Force figures. They look good.
@@amusingking yes sir. There great. They are my favorite line to collect. I have more black series figures than anything but Action Force is second most. All the figures are easy to swap out with each other so there great for kitbashing or making a different figure all together. I heat them up with hot water before I take them apart so i don’t break them but that goes with all figures. I use Action Force weapons with all my Classified figures since what you get with them is unacceptable. I can’t wait to get Rambo though. He should be here tomorrow.
Dopeeeeeeee
Thanks dude! 🙌🏼
❤I like this a lot and I might sound dumb but whats that snake-like thing on the right supposed to be? 😅
Lol!!! Not dumb at all. I was close to removing it when editing. It was supposed to be a metal pipe or something 😂😂. And thanks!! 🙏🏼
@@amusingking🤣👍
NIIICE photo as usual Matt! PEACE from ATL ✊🏾 📸
Yo much appreciated!🙌🏼
Yoo this song is a throwback 😮💨 also that photography is AWESOME‼️‼️
Dude it is!!! I wasn’t really posting stuff when it was hot, so felt cool to finally use it 😂 and thanks so much!
Awesomeness
Hey!! Thank you :)
An army of them couldn’t lmao prob gonna need the entire rebellion and then some
Haha yeah! I saw a random video of Vader vs a million zombies and he won 😂😂 I’m sure most of the basic rebels were better than zombies though
@@amusingking Interesting and probably yeah but Vader was surrounded by an entire army of rebels and he killed them all
@@eliminator1472 yeah, he’s a beast 🔥
I have non of those :/
Good thing I didn’t say anything specific. Just a little effort with posing and use sunlight.
💙
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Where do you get the diorama bace from?
I made this one. I have a video of how I put it together. It’s labeled as a snow diorama because at the end I put baking soda, but dumped it off now and have this base.
I love this custom dude great job!
Thanks so much!🔥
Epic
Thanks🙌🏼
Amazing. Thanks for the video
You’re welcome! Glad you liked it🙌🏼
Seeing all the behind-the-scenes work done makes the picture that much cooler
You’re a beast! Appreciate you bro🔥
I like the sirdork challenge reference
Ayy haha which one? I haven’t done a challenge of his recently
@@amusingking there’s always a bigger fish
🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿 is all i can say about this
Yoooo you are the emoji!!! Haha that’s epic 🗿🗿🗿

ok there probably isn't a right answer for this but, I have 3 small cube lights and one large panel light as my key light, do you think one panel light is enough?
It could be enough. But having multiple lights can allow you have more control of your light. Certain lights can be point at certain parts of your shot instead of one big light lighting everything. Like you said, it's not right or wrong because it depends on what you're going for.
Nice video, its great to see you getting things out there, Im trying to do that more myself... if you need any help with 3d printers let me know I've been using both Resin and FDM printers for a while now, since 2015... Keep it up and take your time, I feel like I always try to rush to get content out and then it suffers for it, so just run at your own pace and keep moving Ford on your journey. Looking forward to it :)
Thank you! And that’s awesome!! I definitely will be asking questions when the time comes haha. One question that might not make sense but is there anything I can do before having a printer to “prepare” or make it easier? I guess I’m thinking 3D apps. Not sure how much I want to actually design or just print.
@@amusingking As far as preparing for a 3D printer, the. physical aspect is just research what you will need to get it going and the required safety precautions. as far as software goes I find designing fun, however it is very time consuming and can take up a lot of your time... I use fusion 360 for most of my mechanical design work, but I started using plasticity and I really like it... it has a very low cost of entry for parametric modeling software, it also has 30 day trail so try before you buy. I am also using Blender, it is an amazing piece of software but really need plugins to make it really great so expect to spend a little cash for that too but not too much its fairly inexpensive I dare say even cheap cost of entry. for slicer, the software that you use to convert 3d files to gcode printer language I use Lychee its about 60.00 / year for a license to use it and then there is orca slicer as well, but that more for FDM only, if you go resin the lychee is in my opinion but there is also chitubox which is free. I also forgot to mention iPad and android tablet apps but nomad sculpt is truly amazing and I use it a lot, Ill start a design on my iPad while on the couch relaxing and then finish it in blender. you can contact me through my instagram @plasticarcade if you have any specific questions you want answered as this could go for a while. but hopefully this helps.
Haha! Dang! What a beast reply!! Really appreciate it. Will definitely message you on Instagram.
I just slap on some clay than I bring it to my sister because she is good and she's currently in art school
Dang!! That’s awesome! What are some things for figures that you’ve had her make?
@@amusingking ive had her make a zoro from one piece
Sweet!
I ordered this thing yesterday as well as gear 5 luffy, they both look great and im hype for them to get here.
Sweet! Have you seen the newer sage mode Naruto coming out? That one looks so good too🔥

I really gotta start bouncing my light more, I think my light is too harsh all the time
Yeah! It definitely can provide some really nice lighting and worth trying.
I got mine last week, I'm still trying to find the best way to use it, but so far it definitely adds to the photos
Sweet! I'm still loving mine a ton
Can’t wait to see what you have coming up! Really like your Rex photos too!
Thanks so much, Kelly! Means a lot!
Thank you for making this! It's super helpful to see the entire process start to finish. And the wires clamped to the stage was a real "ah-hah" moment for me. Inspires me to experiment more with this style of photography.
Haha! Nice! Getting "ah-hah" moments are the best! It's definitely worth trying out. Glad you like this style and enjoyed the process. I need to do a new one like this soon.
Anything on finding or making patterns at these scales? Been trying to make camo pants but can’t find anything at the scale
Do you mean like painting patterns? Painting on camo? Or patterns for sewing? For painting, I'm not sure. I've seen some people do camo before but haven't look into the process. I will definitely look into and let you know if I learn anything.
@@amusingking meant more if you’ve seen fabric with the pattern at 1/6 or 1/12 scale but any tips for any route would be good
Oh gotcha! Yeah, I haven't found a good one yet. Would be cool to have.
Can you do a video on how to make clothes for your figures?? Like cloaks, kamas, etc. I’m super intrigued on the hobby but I’m scared to get into it fully.
Yes! For sure will do that. After making this suit, I feel way more confident with sewing and making templates. So it's on the to do list!
Good to see you back mate, glad everyone is on the mend. Loving the custom figure, really looking forward to seeing how the dio works out. Excited to hear what's coming up too. Keep inspiring mate 👍👍
Thank you Paul! You're one of the best and I appreciate everything! 🙏🏼
Excited to see all of that mate! The 3D printing is something I haven’t dipped my finger into before, so I’d love to see how you go with that! Again love the Rex, love the video format, look forward to the next one! Oh, hope the family stays healthy!
Thanks so much! And yeah, I love the idea of 3D printing but also a bit scared haha. Hopefully will be something to try sooner rather than later. Glad you like the video; really appreciate it!
Dope
Thank you!
Glad you're all feeling better. cool video, can't wait to see what you got coming in the future .
Thanks Brian! Really appreciate you!
Really great tips and inspiration, Matt. Thanks for the reminder that this is all for fun!
Thanks so much! Glad that you liked it.
I am excited about all your new opportunities and where your channel is going. You are always so inspiring and helpful!
You are a jack for all trades! Everything looks great and Rex is my favorite character in all SW so “chef’s kiss” on that custom figure. Keep up the awesome work. 🎉
Thank you Yadi!! Definitely grateful for all your support and comments. And glad you like the Rex! 🔥
Canon M 50ii !!! 👍
Yo nice!! That's the camera you use?
Hey Matt ! Yes I use the Canon M50ii (Mark 2) ! Very compact and fits the need for most things ! Very versatile capable of using most makers vintage lens (with adaptors). I also have the EOS M10 and 30D ?! But wouldn't get rid of my 50 ?! It's my favorite 💯! Light weight ! 👍 😂
You had me at "Heyo"!
Woah! This is like one of the best comments ever! I feel like want to put it on a shirt or something 😂😂
@@amusingking Nice! I'll take 10% : ) Love the channel! And yes, I am one of many that has been inspired.
@@apertoy lol!! That’s awesome. Means a lot🙏🏼
Awesome content
Thanks so much!
Hey Matt. Glad to hear the family is over their illnesses...never fun to have before summer. And man, I'm jealous of all the cool stuff that you have done over the past couple of weeks. Again, inspiring!!!! Be well and we gotta talk about this interview!
Appreciate it tons! And yes, we need to plan on it!🔥
Are these sh figuarts?
Yo, not sure which you are talking about. I do have some SHFiguarts but also Black Series, Mafex, Mezco.
I am talking about the figures in your video
Well this video is about custom figures. I’m going through all of the customs figures I made. Most of them involve using Black Series figures.
@@amusingking oh ok👍
