Post subject: | Re: //STRANGELABS//CUSTOM CELEBRATION 11 WIP CHALLENGE PG. |
Robot WIP shots coming soon! This year, I really wanted to contribute to the Toy Chest challenge and recreate a beloved childhood favorite. Had a concept I liked, but it wasn't the right time... next challenge. BUT... I've been so inspired that I couldn't help but start piecing together a figure that was a grail to me as an elementary schooler... "I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favor. Tell all your friends about me..." |

Thank you, 2DARK2C! There's a great discussion about Diaclone here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=45116 At such a small scale, GI JOE and Star Wars accessories make great computers/consoles/tech once hit with chrome spray paint or drybrushed with gunmetal. I started using them for my Megabloks stuff, but certain pieces look great with Dianauts. Working with these little guys today makes me wish Hasbro would reboot their Kre-o line with Dianauts in place of their minifigures. They look like a perfect, modern era adaptation of LEGO. |

I have a set of Dianauts in my BBTS pile of loot. This setup makes me want to ship it asap. I love the attention to detail. Great work. Very inspiring. OB |

As I said in the other thread, just awesome. These little guys have really set me afire with a love for customizing and enjoyment of collecting. Seeing what you've done is really inspiring. |

This is fantastic! The scale is perfect to create playsets. Check out Aintsy Castings and Scotia Grendel for computers, control panels and other sci-fi bits that are in scale with Dianauts. |

OB Dude, Pandora's box is about to be opened... can't wait to see the stuff you're inspired to create to accompany these little fellas. They really are toys at their purest and best. They're the best, most poseable action figures in this scale, yes, but they capture the imagination. Long after you've put them on the shelf, you're still fiddling with them in your mind. Thank you so much for your kind words, OB. Your work inspires me every time I see it. Looking forward to hearing & seeing your reaction to Dianauts!

Seeing what you've done is really inspiring. Agreed x 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% It's been a long time since I've been this genuinely enamored with a toyline. It seems to be the immediate reaction of everyone I follow via social media. They see the Dianauts online, order some, then can't put them down once they arrive... they're a perfect toy. Now that the outpost is done, I'm thinking of other modular playsets. Kicking around ideas for a laboratory and a futuristic alien city street... W.I.P. UPDATE: Okay, so I'm terrible with photographing my works in progress. I don't normally take photos mid-process (unless I REALLY like something, or need another opinion from one of my BFFs). It's never been a part of my workflow, so I've been forgetting and just working. The construction robot suit concept has completely changed (my M.O.)... it's now made out of Mega Construx pieces. Saw some Destiny armor that TOTALLY fit my design, so I ran with it. Gonna save the robot body for another, more apropos project. I have been building other, unrelated things on the sly, but I haven't photographed them just yet... |

Feels like I just finished the blasted thing and I'm prepping to build another; different environment this time, though. Need a break from the metallic spray paint. |

W.I.P. UPDATE: Alright, so I've got 3 WIPs I've been working on for the past week or so. They're 95% finished, so I'm going to wait til they're done to post; probably late tonight/tomorrow. Pieces will be done by tonight, but I want to photograph them properly instead of rushing to put something out. Riddle me this: Who is the smallest articulated action figure I've ever customized? |

Micronauts were one of my favorites. Love your take on them. |

Yeah, I'm a goner for anything chromed out like that, though my favorite were always the tiny chrome pilots from Starriors & Zoids. Every once in a while, I'll work on 4" stuff (usually for other projects). These guys are actually for a long-simmering idea... well, at least one of them was. The others just sorta happened. indrox1 wrote: Micronauts were one of my favorites. Love your take on them. Thank you man! While not a straight-up adaptation of the classic Micronauts designs, they're very much in the spirit. Toys from that era are so inspirational to me-- I wish everything nowadays didn't have to have a big license or media tie-in... |
