Note to self . dont let me lose in a thrift store...
I was at goodwill at the kids toy section looking for NERF blasters to mod.
I noticed they have loas of Ken dolls there. And it Hit me ... I have all this scrap 3D plastic and I mean its scrap. 20 feet here 50 feet there . I can do a hand plate or fingers thats it.
Why not make a few sets of my fave armor for Dolls. Be it Ken or GI Joe .
plastic dip the body and use paint to make the undersuit. or use spray on bed liner . get that rubber effect .
3D print the armor heck a single Run could do a entire set with helm !.
So I wanna ask YOU the community what form factor should I use. as awkard as it pick up a ken doll ( I NEVER thought I would ever do this in my life ) . I suspect they are more common 2ed hand . and there unreaslitic hight ratio do look good for a faux spartan. * and Yes I could use a barbie for Commander palmer and vale ect *
Ill need to pick up said base and attempt to use my scanning app to make Ken or Joe as a 3D file . but LIke my full human suits its just the exact same scale steps.
as a bonus I dont have to deal with my limited print bed size as much ..
( I want My halo 5 spartan first ! then Ill do a RVB set . )
Any thoughts folks ?
