Just wanted to let you know we featured your stand shop and your gorgeous Shaak Ti in the latest episode of Custom Action Figure News. I am hoping we can get you to come on for an interview sometime!

You ought to 3D Scan  your Force Unleashed Shaak Ti and put her up on there!

Nice work on the Talon by the way.

And daggone you are gonna have to get a webcam!

Heres a bit of an update... been trying to smooth the skin ...at first I thought it would be ok just to sand it smooth...nope...these 3D printed parts are filled with millions of little air bubbles, so sanding alone just doesnt do it, so you have to fill them..I used Mr Surfacer brushed on. I applied maybe 3 coats ,with sanding in between each coat using a fingernail sanding sponge.
You can see the difference between the two parts shown, belly and leg.
I also did some extra work on the head..the forehead should be a little more prominent ,so I broke out the Aves and ..hopefully havent messed it up..I think the paint job will help define the eyes better.
and last,while Im at it, Im working on an Aayla Secura..

I keep considering the investment of a 3D printer, around $1,000 kind of steep, and then the scanner is more, but your work on Talon is making it harder to resist!
