3D-printed figurines made in china are very popular with chinese artists and netizens (can be posed for various reference, and a set of four costs less than 2$)
Hi guys,
We've released a new flexi toy for our Happy Flexi pets project.
It's a Baby Godzilla the flexi toy. It's one piece (print in place) design, that has articulated rear legs and a tail.
There are 2 versions of the godzilla's faces - with closed and open mouth.
The model is prepared for multi-material (color) 3d printing.
The STL and pre-painted 3MF files are available for purchasing on Cults3d and Creality Cloud. And you can get these and exclusive models on our Patreon.
You can also get 3d printed toy from our authorized sellers )
Based on Gianmarco Cavallaccio's style! I specifically used his Spider Gwen model as reference! I'm also planning on breaking this model apart and see if I can get it printed!
Meet three absolutely lovely chaps ♥︎ who can't wait to find the coolest miniature car I have amongst all of my toys!
James, Jeremy and Richard are 3D prints (which is the only thing I didn't do myself) then I sanded the figurines, sprayed carefully white primer on them and painted all of it. This was my first time ever I've painted figurines with acrylic colours, which I also had to mix myself.
I think they turned out really sweet for my first time drawing actual figurines and not just my usual paintings (and comics). It is different to work on 3D printed stuff, rather than on paper or digital drawing tablets. But I could use some of my knowledge, more or less...
With Jeremy being the tallest, measuring 11cm and Richard around 9cm, I'm sure I will find a nice place for them to take care of my toy vehicles!
I've spent the last 5 days putting together and painting this 3D printed model based on the Rayman 3 promotional Leptys statue!
Someone very kindly went out of his way to print one out for me so I could give painting it a go!

More pics and my process under the cut...
It arrived in pieces which slotted together really easily and just needed a bit of glue. I've never worked with something 3D printed before so I was looking forward to putting this together.
It was really light and fragile so that worried me when handling the pieces and sandpapering them, especially where there were parts that were really thin, such as the hair and the hoodie strings.
I sandpapered down the sharp edges and bits of plastic that were still stuck on. I was hoping I could sandpaper down the layer lines that are left behind by the printer, but the model has so many tiny details which I didn't want to lose.
Cleaned it up as best as I could, assembled the pieces and gave it a plastic primer coating so it was ready for painting. It stands at roughly 17.5cm.
Unlike a clay model, I wasn't used to having to put so many layers on. Usually a base coat is enough, but with plastic the light shines right through the model (can't really see it in photos) so I ended up spending a lot of time putting multiple coats on paint on.
During painting I noticed a tiny piece on the bird's head at the top was missing.
At first I thoguht there was no way I could fix it with clay because the figurine was made of plastic and would melt in the oven, but I figured I could eye-ball the shape and attach it on later. After a couple attempts I managed to get a similar looking shape made of clay glued on and sandpapered it to shape!
I know the big promotional statue itself has the ball at the top be a blue colour, but I couldn't help but find it kinda dull to look at. After looking up how the leptys statue looks in-game, I realised that in the game it changes colour from blue to purple and has magical swirls so I figured why not let's paint something like that instead.
After a couple coats of varnish and a felt bottom to protect surfaces, it was done. My photos don't do it justice, but I'm pretty happy with the result!
ThestupendouschiefoftheYigaClan! MASTER KOHGA! ... Is gonna KILL YOU ALL... to DEAAAAATH!!
My gf KidK is, as many of you probably know, is a huge Kohga stan. However, there isn't much in the way of merch and especially not any figurines. So a very good friend and coworker of mine, owner of Immovable Objects on Etsy, did me a huge favor and helped me print this burly masterpiece you see before you. He's about 7.25" tall with the base included! (My buddy made the base himself by recyling old Warhammer bases, and then he painted it and added the grassy details himself!)
I painted him with acrylic paint and blushed him using pan pastels and very very soft makeup brushes, so deepen the reds in the uniform and make his collar and mask look a bit more broken in. He has a coat of sealant on him too so he's got highlights in aaaall the right places. XD
So happy Valentines Day @noirandchocolate I mean you already have him on your shelf but I just wanted to say it again, ilu <3
