Heroclix DOTA 2 TideHunter verDC23

It took me a while to finish this commissioned work of a Heroclix DOTA 2 TideHunter figure as I had to wait for my "Kolinsky" brushes for hand painting I bought online. One of the secrets in hand painting with  acrylic paints ( Vallejos ) are the brushes! Crappy cheap synthetic brushes will deteriorate fast as the acrylic paints will eat up those plastic bristles during hand painting. " Kolinsky " or at least Red Sable brushes are a must!



Anyways, this little toy was made a little bit more interesting by removing the Heroclix base and re-painting it. This is fully hand painted with Vallejo Model Color paints, Vallejo Water Effects and sealed with Vallejo ( Resin ) Gloss Varnish. I tried my best to add details thru painting but the sculpt of the toy is just not as detailed as real plastic, resin or white metal miniatures.



It took me a couple of days ( maybe even 3 days ) to achieve the look of the custom base as I had to apply around 4 or 5 heavy coats of Vallejo Water Effects paints and let cure for at least 12 hours. Anyways this was a fun little project fully hand painted with my Vallejos. Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next completed build guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

LEGO Christmas display at SM North the Block

All my sponsors does not sell LEGOs ( not sure with GreattoysOnline ), I do not buy LEGOs and this is the first post about LEGOs. I love LEGOs but I basically cannot afford them. They are just insanely expensive for me. My daughters had a blast and enjoyed the LEGO Christmas display at a local mall yesterday though, thus I thought I'd share a few photos of the display with you as well.



This is currently held at SM North the Block, you won't miss it coz it is in the middle of the mall with the huge 30 foot Christmas Tree. There is a huuuuugeeeee collection / display of LEGO dioramas. Display of world known landmarks to Sci Fi and movie characters like StarWars.



I enjoyed taking photos of them so much my camera juice ran out... Dang I really need a new better camera one of these days.

Thanks for dropping by! Til' next post guys! :)

I love custom vinyl figures and I have here another well done custom Munny at our MAC forums! This custom Munny was modeled /  painted by MAC forums member H4MSTER. This is a 7 inch tall Munny that is h4mster's entry for a local Munny competition at Indonesia.



I love the overall look and design of the figure. This should look stunning in any display cabinet even alongside huge Gunpla master grades. Discussion and photos of this beautiful custom vinyl figure by h4mster at MAC forums. Here is the link guys...

Str1ku is one of the best Gunpla modelers a while back and he is now transferring his skills, creativity and talent in custom vinyl Munny figures these days. It is always a delight to see his progress in this craft and new finished kits from time to time. His custom makes me want to play with a couple of my untouched vinyls here at home.
