I'm still alive! CUSTOMS, DIORAMAS, TUTORIALS

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 what I have. Really excited for it.
TUTORIALS: I've never really talked about "goals" for this channel, so I go over some tutorials coming up (including part 2 to the Phone Photography Tutorial) and future plans.
I am inspired by you and I appreciate it tons!
Let me know what you think!
I love sharing Action Figure Photography Tips and Tricks and I do take requests for tutorials from setting up lights to Photoshop, so feel free to leave any ideas in the comment section.

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!

[@amusingking]

Appreciate it tons! And yes, we need to plan on it!🔥

[@Yadi_7567]

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. 🎉

[@amusingking]

Thank you Yadi!! Definitely grateful for all your support and comments. And glad you like the Rex! 🔥

Can’t wait to see what you have coming up! Really like your Rex photos too!

[@amusingking]

Thanks so much, Kelly! Means a lot!

[@eightysixedreviews]

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!

[@amusingking]

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!

Thanks so much!🔥

[@uhhdroo]

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.

[@amusingking]

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!

[@mastertabby7188]

can you please make a soft goods tutorial.

[@amusingking]

For sure! It’s on my list. Got behind with some other projects but I will 🙏🏼

[@plasticarcade]

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 :)

[@amusingking]

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.

[@plasticarcade]

@@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.

[@amusingking]

Haha! Dang! What a beast reply!! Really appreciate it. Will definitely message you on Instagram.
