Resident Evil Customs Thread

[Morgenergy]

Hey! I'm the artist for these I really appreciate your interest! I actually frequent these forums as a watcher for the last 2 years or so and I took in a ton of advice from the hundreds of pages here while building my own custom S.T.A.R.S. team! It's crazy seeing my work up here haha

As for my sculpts I typically sculpt for the smaller scales in 1/12 as that's my Patreon audience preference, so you are correct with that! I've printed them in 1/6 scale for my own customs and even have a custom Chris RE1 with a Neck stump for the body I used that I kept for my own collection as I didn't think people would get use out of it haha

I typically collect mostly 1/6 scale nowadays and build in 1/6 scale too so when I'm making for 1/6 primarily I'll go a little bit further with the details to ensure it'll look good in 1/6 and nice in 1/12 too. The RE1 Crew were actually made back when I hadn't developed a lot of my new techniques like nice skin details that show properly, eyebrows that look a lot nicer and hair etc. (Though I really do look back at my older work and appreciate it) If you guys ever do buy my sculpts and find there's any issues with the fitting etc. shoot me a message and I'll fix it if I can!

I'm trying to get better every day and always looking for new techniques for hair, skin and sculpting overall so I appreciate the interest! If you guys ever wanna grab anything I have a discount code for all to use for a percentage off! "THANKYOU" is the code! I always check in on these forums for updates about upcoming pre-orders and releases (Just pre-ordered that Rotator Toys Jill, I'm curious how she might come out but I plan on at the least using her clothes for my current build Jill)

I've just realized having added stuff to my cults3D basket that I had already purchased and printed your LE-5 a few weeks back - it's sat alongside my WIP Leon.

The Wesker and Barry sculpts are especially rather tidy and I'll be making good use of em. I've bits knocking about for CV customs too, so your Chris and Claire sculpts won't go unused either.

Keep up the good work, seriously - it's great to have these files readily available and at a fair price too when a lot of these sculpts - accessories too for that matter - aren't exactly available ''off the shelf'' when they arguably should be with their popularity!

Since I can't find a decent one to buy, any pointers on where to find stuff to make a RE5 STARS Chris?

Is the Hot Toys one that hard to track down now? Been a while since I checked.

Biggest issue if you're making any STARS member is the vest because everybody wants them and they don't turn up... they've been discussed many a time.

They're based on US M69 flak vests though which thankfully are reasonably easy to find thanks to military figures being a 1/6 mainstay.

I got a bunch of them from Veego Store at about 10 dollars a piece. Need a bit of fettle and adjustment as they're quite chunky but they look good when suitably coloured and tailored with STARS embellishments, belts etc.

There's an upcoming Brotoys Ada, and unlike their Claire and Jill, this one seems better scaled and not undersized.

if you cant find the stars vest you can try the stras vest .

So i got the super duck classic outfit for Jill in yesterday. Looks pretty good...still waiting for the mttoys head sculpt and the s33b body.

The s33b body has been stuck in transit as arrived at destination airport since Dec 22... 4px...I hate that I can't contact them... None of the contact info works. Ordered the body from kit.

I was hoping the body would have arrived by now so I can at least put Jill's classic outfit on and slap ada's super duck head on it to just see if the body would work.

Oh well...gotta wait.. kit said that 4px doesn't do any investigation on shipments to Canada and if it's not delivered within 60 days of shipping then it's treated as lost.

I do actually have one of those - the previous owner of my ZCToys Chris replaced it with a Hot Toys one.

It's kept in case of unlikely emergencies for um, obvious reasons..

Canada Post is a **** show right now. I just got a notification that my HT Bo katan was delivered, I ordered it 2 months ago...from the US. lol
Normally anything from Giantoy or OSK takes around 3 weeks. Unless your in Ontario or BC. Then it would probably be around 2 and half weeks. I'm also waiting on a bunch of stuff from overseas via ebay. I think most of our parcels get stuck in customs purgatory, so you can really even blame it on 4PX. I just hope nothing got lost.

Ya I know what you mean.

I have 3 things with Canada Post now, one of them finally will be delivered on Monday..that was from the states sent in November. The other 2 are relatively new purchases once Canada Post is back.

The package from 4px from kit however isn't using Canada Post. It's using pdn express but I don't think pdn express has even got it in their possession.

I think all the packages that was in Canada Post system never got to customs so things were still flowing relatively smoothly in customs. But once Canada Post was open for business, all the packages that were just sitting there probably caused a backlog in customs as well.

I just hope my 4px package is not lost...I mean kit will refund or send a replacement I guess based on their policy if it's lost. I just hate that I have to wait 60 days...I don't really want to go buy another s33b in case the one from kit eventually shows up. Oh well.

Try parcelsapp.com, sometimes additional info on a tracked order is on there.

Yep I have been looking at parcelsapp, 17track and also using both the 4px and pdn express tracking numbers...it's stuck at the destination airport based on the tracking...

So I was able to track down a RE5 STARS Chris but plan on changing out the body. Any recommendations for a RE5 Chris body that the HT clothes and head fit on?
