MaloApril's work is top notch!

by
Some weeks ago I won this 3 inch Dunny from a raffle that MaloApril kept on Instagram. I had to make some shots from this amazing Dunny. This girl needs a new camera, because this is some serious quality work. It is painted extremely smooth and the details are amazing. Extremely happy with our new addition.....best part my wife loves it (will this be the turning point in this house?)!

Catapulting Pink Diamond Kid by Tony Gil

by
Another great concept from Tony Gil...


He hangs vertical from his rope, doing whatever it takes to get the job done from the tallest buildings.
If you have somewhere to hang him, get him. You are responsible for knowing how to tie and hang him well. Limited to 5. These are hand crafted and painted. Some minor differences are expected.

Mini Kaiju Cupcake Custom Series Blind Box

This blind-box custom series is based on the 2-inch Mini Kaiju Cupcake platform created and poured into resin by Jon Malmstedt of Rampage Toys. Jon is a friend of Tenacious Toys, having participated in many of our group shows as well as signing at our NYCC booth in 2010. We believe strongly in Jon's offbeat Americanized kaiju aesthetic- "Kaiju" means "monster" in Japanese, and what is more monstrous than our food here in America? Cupcakes, in all their sickly sweet deliciousness, are truly the scourge of our great nation. This mini series, therefore, both celebrates and vilifies the cupcake. Artist were invited to basically do whatever the heck they wanted with this platform. Customs came back both cute and scary. This certainly reflects the true nature of the cupcake. Do you think cupcakes are the food of angels, or are they the devil incarnate? Pick up one of these blind boxes and see which kind of cupcake you find inside! 

There are 25 blind boxes in the series with one containing a golden ticket for a 5x7" original painting by Jon Malmstedt. Artists included in the series are NREAZON, Jon Malmstedt, Nasty Neil, Justin Hillgrove and OsirisOrion. Pick one up for only $25 now at the Tenacious Toys online shop.

Iron Man Munny Mark 42 by The Modelmaker

by

This looks truly amazing!! Just spotted this and took it from his site.STUNNING!

I recently developed real obsession about Iron Man suits while seeing amazing costumes made by members of The Replica Props Forum. They use program called Pepakura to unfold 3d model to flat pieces, print them on home printer and assemble paper model of the suit in scale 1:1. They glue it, reinforce with fiberglass, sand and fill holes hundreds of times make this real, beautiful, wearable object. I want to make it for myself, but still not sure if I will be able to devote half a year of my free time for a single project. Instead of this I decided to make 2 munnies and see if that will fulfill me on Iron Man theme.
This is the first from my series of two custom munnies. This one is based on Iron Man Mark 42 (XLII) suit design from upcoming movie. There is many versions of Iron Munnies   made by different artists, to make mine different from others I decided to sculpt Tony Stark inside it. Portraits are still interesting and challenging for me. I spent 3 evenings to sculpt this face with Sculpey. Every day I started with completely changing the facial features getting closer to look like Rober Downey Jr.

It started as realistic, symmetrical and boring face. I started enlarging eyes, bending nose and modified it to look little more like caricature. I was not sure if it will look right till I painted him. After I was pleased with this stage I could proceed with the rest of the body because I knew I will not abandon this project. I wanted to make the suit as detailed as possible. I sketched it on the figure, then drew the pieced on computer, taking measures with Caliper and then used laser cutter to cut the pieces in styrene. It helped me to keep the suit symmetrical and details have good, sharp lines. The pieces were small so it was easy to bend them and superglue it to munny’s body.
Everything was painted with brushes with acrylic Valleyo paints.  I tested here for the first time the metal medium.  It looks like silver paint, it mixes with any colour and makes it look metallic. I was very satisfied with how it looked so i also started munny version of patriot suit where I will be able to play with other color theme. It needs few more details an will be ready for painting.

Latest works from Bash Projects

Latest works from Bash Projects. I personally like the Teas loads. Bash is having some of this Teas in stock and is currently open for commissions on them. Grab them fast!

Grass and Sunshine - Cups of Blueberry Tea


Grass and Sunshine are ready for the summer! They can't wait to feel the warmth of the hot summer sun.

But before they can really enjoy the summer they have to look their best. Grass read in a beauty magazine that the newest thing in town was a blueberry facial. Sunshine though it was a great idea and filled two cups with blueberries.

Now they are both soaking in their cups of blueberries looking beautiful and waiting for the summer to start!



Browny the Burned Brobot

Burned alive by an electric oven.... that's what happened with Browny.

Browny was working late in the toy factory cleaning out the enormous ovens they use to bake the plastic shells for the toy robots. While he was working in the back, the timer switched on and the giant doors closed. He had nowhere to go and felt the oven heating up.

After 20 minutes the oven doors finally opened and Browny crawled out. Burned to the bone and barely alive Browny managed to make it to the robot storage.

There he used his last strength to create the one thing that saved his live... he made a bionic suit of toy robot parts!

Latest works from Respect

by
Really like the works from Respect, here are his latest works...

The first one is actually the very first in a series I had planned out a long while ago. The series is called No Rest For The Wicked (NRFTW), and is nothing but custom fatcaps (a platform that doesn't seem to get much love). This was a gift for the woman who put me on to Fatcaps themselves and gave me some to initially start customizing on. I admit that it took me much too long to finish this piece, I guess I felt I had to get better and learn more before completing it. 

A quick brief on NRFTW, it's your typical "zombie" apocalypse scenario, chemicals released unknowingly into a small town. Spreading this horrible infection and keeping people from an eternal slumber regardless of how decayed / damaged they have become.  The main reason for NRFTW is for it to tie into a dunny series I have planned.

The second custom is based on the game StarCraft, more specifically one of its marine characters. This was done on a post apocalypse cyborg and I have intentions of making other characters from the game as well. I didn't do any sculpting on this piece as it was intended to be a break from sculpting...I know strange break haha. So I started off by sanding down the face of the helmet, removing the oculis ports and front vent, and then goin into finer sand papers until it was smooth as butter. This one found a new home before it was finished, and its well placed with its new owner.
