Customizing forum?

[automaton]

i believe it was sunohc.

If its setup the say the freaks board is with all the diffirent types of movie custo i think it could be great. The top 1/6 pop culture custom site maybe.

 

[ProgMatinee]

If you create it, will it also be for small figures or just 1/6 and bigger?

 

[Darklord Dave]

Doing some more web searching, I don't know that the Barbie customizers really cross over. They're more into high fashion and do some amazing costumes, but I just don't see a lot interests in common. Same with little plastic men makers.

Both could offer some techniques for 1/6th ers, but I don't know that they'd be compatible.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Why not cater to them though too.

I say, anything 1/6 scale or larger could be welcome. You can have different subforums for "fashion dolls" as well as different aspects of pop culture, music, movies, celebs, etc.

I think the one thing is that people that migrate from here would need to be a little less critical of idea of "dolls" if you truly wanted to welcome that segment.

TBH Im guessing that "doll" makers could actually give some quality advice to the "action figure" collectors

I'm sure they could, but I'm afraid the "ewww, Tonner!" crowd would drive them away.

On these boards most definitely

you gonna lay a smack down on these members. If you don't punish the kids (not by hitting, of course), the kids will keep playing.

Dave, is this idea moving along?

Dave we all love Tonner!

I hope this does happen, it would help me a BUNCH to have some "hired guns" so to speak for clothing needs. I'm tired of hunting for parts that simply look "ok" and not screen accurate. :emperor

 

[moxie]

I am all for this. I have bashed some figs together, but have had my interest piqued in the customizing arena after coming here. Seeing what has been done here (in the customizing area) has me fired up to do my own custom figures. Having searched for different customizers to either gather information or do commission work has been difficult. Centralizing it would be a great boon not only to this community, but to others that may be looking for something similar.

As U2 said, "I will follow".

No doubt.

I want to get into some customizing. I've been told I have the [critical] eye for that stuff. I already have 'plans'. Just need materials (paints, brushes,etc. and some other stuff ).

Mwuhahaha!!

Yeh but the worry is it may turn into 1:6th warriors forum

Ive posted on that forum 3 - 4 times over the past couple of months when ive done a custom

as I have on a rebel scum thread and an ss freaks thread ive started (basically copied it from here)

Thankfully I get some feedback from either rebelscum or ss freaks as no one likes doing work and having it ignored and Ive been fortunate people have posted, & so far nice and constructive comments

Apart from 1 guy from time to time over the past couple of months on 1:6th warriors theyve been pretty much ignored or unreplied

Which is a bit disheartening

Rebelscum is more concentrated on the little people 3/4 line not the umpa lumpas

and although I find 3/4 interesting to a degree

I do also feel

(I find it hard to believe Im saying this myself coming from a 1:6th collector)

3/4 is toyish

On Freaks I come on look round certain forums and comment and post as the whim takes me

Usually starting with

Custom Forums
Star Wars Forums

Then ill look at the front end of the forum at the top post to see if anything catches my interest

Then ill usually wander into : Marvel, and the For Sale or Trade forums

Just worried with a new board youd have basically the guys who post regularily in this forum on that new board

With no

For Sale / Trade
Marvel
Star Wars etc

What other "catagories" would be on the new board if it was started ????? and what type of poster would you want to attract ? eg an existing forum which once the new forums up and running we could post on to say "check us out" ?

 

[ProgMatinee]

I have a selfish request.

My work blocks photobucket and other photosharing sites. My request is that if you start a new forum or expand this one, please consider adding a photo posting feature similar to what Rebelscum does because work doesn't block that. Thanks!

Have seen that as part of the site since I joined and always wondered about it, I guess it wasnt working and only started recently ? as its never come up with a gallery page for me before
