I tried to practice doing some stop motion on the table in my room today. I gave up after about 378 photos. Getting the fuckers to walk is hard.

Always thought that might be cool. (stop motion) But its a LOT of work. Dios are just easier.

P.S. Nice stairway!!!

Geeze lancelot, that sounds like hell. 378 shots?!

It's not too bad once you've got a pace down and are taking pictures really fast like, but it gets frustrating if a figure falls over or you just took three blurry pictures in a row because you forgot what Macro was. I'd add sounds and upload it to youtube or something, but since this was my first attempt at making figures actually walk/run, Sgt. Stalker has this Herp-a-Derp walk as he approaches Breaker and Steeler. I may upload it anyway for the lols. Next time I decided to something like this I think I'll just put them in a running pose on their respective stands and then have them slide past the camera really fast.


Edit: I decided to release it anyway.

Cobra Troopers are trained in the dubious "art" of e-tool fighting.




I don't think Robitussin is gonna help our Real American Hero.

Dude, that was pretty cool. The audio is actually pretty good. Stalker does have that strut going

I had him posed with an axe on a pile of bodies. If my Z-V ambitions come to fruition I should be able to get a fine shot.

I liked that head as well. All the cast parts I sent Slaymaker are SDS sculpts. none were mine. so I cant take credit for them. I think that particular head is part of the Red shadows.

Love the stands! I got 200 for Christmas last year. I figured some day i would like to make dios and the clear ones would be easier to hide than the standard ones. :D

Lancelot, have you not had success with keeping the figures standing in those poses without the stands?

It looks like you could get most if not all of those poses without the stands.

I understand that some poses you need them. I use alot of sand so if I need a stand I bury it (learned that from RED) or put a prop in front of the stand.

It's your world and you got a hundred of the puppies so i can see the incentive to use them.

Don't hide the feet if you continue using them. We can all imagine past them.

Thanks for sharing and those are sweet stands for displaying.

the table I made these stop motions on is very wobbly, my mom bought it from a Goodies that was closing down and selling everything including the manikins. So I generally keep the stands on them as a safety precession, in case I bumb into the table or something. I fear having a figure fall down would cause a continuity error or something. Although I seem to be pretty good at that all on my own if you look hard enough in the animation.

Pretty damn cool! The sound effects were excellent. Where did you get them?

I got a lot of the sound effects from my old copy of the first Call of Duty. The G36 sound I got from a sound mod from one of the newer COD games that I downloaded from file planet or something (I still don't know how to open an .IDW file). A few other sounds I got from websites like soundbible or from soundfxcenter which has sounds from COD games and apparently Halo.


that was pretty sweet! my oldest son wants to make these...he is getting a camera for Christmas - what sort of software do I need to look for? :cool:

If your using a PC Monkey Jam is the only free program to put the frames together in an AVI file at a specific FPS. I used a copy of MAGIX movie edit pro 17 I got some time ago at Best Buy to edit the sound effects in.

So not board related, but I just got home from work and it all of a sudden dawned on me that I completely forgot I had this.



busted it out of storage and think I'm going to put it up on display.

Didn't know where else to post this, so I'm posting it here. Sorry for the crummy cell phone pic. When I get some time, I'm going to do a shoot maybe.

Make sure to bend her over more so that cleavage will really pop out.
Who's been a naughty biker scout?

haha. Indeed!

When I do the shoot I think I'm gong to include my 501st as well. She was just the only 1:6 figure I had out at the time.

Yeah her head sculpt is friggin' amazing. Looks better than the production photos imo. Her boobs and but hare made of a squishy rubbery material, if that helps. I haven't removed her jump suit so I don't know what she looks like underneath.

Here's a pic I found: Meh
