DIY Tortilla Wrap Tutorial!

It's something I've been wanting to do for years, but now that we at long last have decent internet* and I've found video editing software I like, I can finally start making YouTube video tutorials!

1/6th scale Damaged Synth custom WIP

As with so many of my projects, I started this one without a plan.

I've always loved cyborgs/androids and the concept of artificial intelligence and sapient robots is one of my absolute favourite sci-fi concepts. I've got a host of characters I'm intending on making dolls of, one of which has a cybernetic arm, so I've been meaning to practice making one before committing to the final design. I knew I wanted to preserve as much articulation as possible, so moving joints was super important, and if I could surpass the original figure's range of movement, all the better.

The Drifter and the Droid (plus bonus stopmotion)

I’ve been in a real sci-fi mood recently after playing Detroit: Become Human (which I would 100% recommend if you love everything related to androids gaining self awareness and the resulting fight for acceptance and civil rights combined with a noir style detective game and branching storylines with many many endings - I could gush about this game all year, it's fantastic) and this proved fortuitous as I’ve had plans to make a robot arm for a future cybernetically enhanced character for a long time, so I decided to grab something from one of my many body boxes and give it a go just to see how it turned out and well, things progressed slightly…😅 (This post will have the whole start to finish guide of how I put everything together)

I couldn't resist doing a photoshoot inspired by one of my favourite sequences in the game, although just to clarify, this figure isn't intended to be from the D:BH universe, just vaguely inspired by it.

Experiments in skintone alteration!

 

When the strikingly beautiful #90 Barbie Fashionista 'Rainbow Bright' came out a couple of years ago I just knew I had to have her. The only problem was the body; I can’t stand the lack of articulation on the current range of fashionistas, and there wasn’t a match for her very dark skin tone in the MTM range or easily available in older bodies. 

 

1/6th scale Kitchen Tutorial

A kitchen for Max and Juno has been top of my list for years, but making such a diorama was going to be tricky thanks to all the appliances and accessories. Luckily you know how much I love a challenge, so I took it on with gusto...

This is going to be a loooooong post with lots of photos so consider yourself warned!

Max and Juno's new kitchen!

I've been wanting to make Max and Juno a kitchen diorama for years, and finally got started on it last year, then had a total breakdown of motivation and gave up on it until a few weeks ago when the inspiration hit once again and I was able to finish it. 

A post listing how I made the majority of it will be going up immediately after this one, so check that out if you want to know how I put the main parts together. :)

Anyway, without further ado, I'll let the girls show off their latest room...
