I got my girl yesterday! I have a box opening thread here if anyone is interested: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...ix-Mini-Machina-Delta&p=10992298#post10992298 I love my Delta so much! Prysm: the customs fees are extreme here in Norway, 25% of product value and shipping, and then some... I hope they go gentler on you!
Aw Polygon looks like she'll go really nicely with Jocasta! Congratulations Update on my two- they're in Australia! Thanks for the update, USPS <_<;; Hopefully they'll be here either tomorrow or tuesday!
I got my Delta today. Wow, she's sturdy and quite heavy for her weight! I totally didn't expect that. ^^ Congrats to all new arrivals as well!
My two came in as well! I couldn't resist breaking out the MSC and doing up my new Eta, Genesis: Helix (my Blip) will get her makeover tomorrow!
I'm currently working on painting a friend's white Delta. This is C2, a defective companion cube! Her eyes are 12mm from Alice's Collections.
Thanks! I wish I could take credit, but it was her idea from day one of seeing this doll. I've had her for quite some time and I'm just now getting her finished and ready to send home. I wanted her to be perfect for my friend and this is the first doll I've ever painted, so it took a while to get it just right
So many mini machinas, it's awesome seeing them all! Congrats everyone! My delta arrived yesterday, I've got no idea when I'm going to be able to get her a faceup though. Has anyone else noticed that these guys are incredibly good at hanging upside down?
She's here! Arrival thread is here for anyone interested. Ugh, I did get hit with taxes, which sucks. : / I still need to figure out her name... Mini Machina by Prysmatical, on Flickr .... the Gamma/Epsilon helmet makes her look grumpy It's great to see everybody's Mini Machinas, and so neat to see what everyone's doing with theirs. Lots of original ideas in here Edit: Holy cow, these girls are quite heavy for their size! But it's a nice weight, they feel really solid.
Congrats to all the new arrivals! All the pictures I've seen so far are very lovely! And there are so many neat ideas that you guys are coming up with that I enjoy reading! I recently received my girl, and before I start painting my Delta (her name is Nanno btw) I was just wondering what you guys use to paint their bodies. I'm a little terrified, but I don't want to leave her body blank forever so any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Well my girl should be on her way to Australia soon. Dopey me, I misunderstood the layaway. I thought that you paid the deposit and then waited for a final invoice when she was finished casting. Oh well, I've paid the money now so she will be packaged up and sent now.
@Zoffie: I use pastels mostly. You can also use acrylics or watercolour pencils, just make sure you coat your doll well beforehand. If you're unsure what to use, you can always look into the customizing forums. ^^
I use pastels usually, sometimes acrylic in an airbrush, but really you can use pastels just yes, spray to set well, as pastels won't set themselves. I have also used glitter, acrylic and various mediums on my Batchix robutts... Fanny is all pastel with some pencil Fanny Be Tender by stellamaris61, on Flickr
I got brave today. I took varying kinds of sandpaper, needle files and sanding sponges to my Blip's face. I changed her nose a little, might do a little more, but the far more noticeable change is her lower lip. It's much more defined now. I may go back and even it out a little more, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Also- might name her Siren... which will be a horrible pun, since she'll be an 'Enforcer' (the Cybertronian equivalent to police). She likes to sing and perch in high places to watch over everyone. Siren Lips by Prysmatical, on Flickr Don't mind the very messy work desk behind her.
Thanks ^^ More of her personality is coming out as time goes by. She's super sweet, if a little mischievous. Still, she's always out to do the right thing. For sure she'd be an Autobot. I've got a complicated head-canon going on for enforcers on Cybertron, but I won't bore you guys with it Here's a question for those of you that have had your Mini Machina girls for longer- have you had any luck getting her 'feet' to move more at all? Is it the tight stringing keeping them from moving, or is it just the lock...? Seems like I should be able to move the 'toe' part up if it was just the lock. I'd love to put Siren in some more complicated poses, but having her feet locked in one position is making that tricky!
The little toe part is very TIGHT. Still is on my girl. You really gotta grab it from underneath and pull it out to adjust. It's not something easy to move while she's standing. I don't mind, I like my dolls tightly strung, but maybe you'd find it easier if she was not as tightly strung. I like your adjustment to your girls lower lip. Looks good.
Thanks! Hmm, I wonder if putting some Kips in would help or make it worse... I'm going to have to experiment with things until I get some more movement.
