CLEANING FDM 3D PRINT - RESIN VS WOOD FILLER DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-12-31 | My buddy from @toysontap5189 gave me his Astron figure to paint.Before I could paint Astron, I needed to clean the FDM print. I haven't really done this before so I thought this would be a great test to see if it's easier to clean up with UV resin or wood filler. My experiment comparing UV resin and wood filler for FDM print cleanup was quite the learning experience, even if both methods had their pros and cons. While I can't tell you definitively which is "better" since it depends on personal preference and the project, I can share some takeaways based on what I experienced:Similarities:Both methods require significant sanding, so get ready for some elbow grease!Both can achieve a smooth finish with enough effort.Differences:UV resin:Can be trickier to work with due to its quick curing time and needing a UV light.May generate fumes and require additional safety precautions.Can create extremely smooth finishes with proper curing and sanding.Wood filler:Easier to apply but can be lumpy before sanding.Requires a little longer drying times between sanding sessions.May not achieve the same level of smoothness as UV resin.Final thoughts:I found both methods effective and achieved a cool final result with your painted and weathered Astron figure! Ultimately, the choice between UV resin and wood filler will depend on your priorities. Personally I found the wood filler to be a little more work and a bit harder to work with. The resin brushed on easily and cures fast but can easily fill in fine detail if you're not careful. In the end, both methods can lead to stunning results with enough practice and patience. The final result looked pretty cool after I was able to paint and weather the figure.Be sure to check out @toysontap Toys On Tap for a great toy podcast!instagram.com/toysontapI hope you enjoy this how to video!Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always..."It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"

I made BAD BARB - Barbie Android DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-06-25 | For about three years I have had this idea to take a Barbie and turn her into an android. I can find Barbie's cheap at garage sales so why not make a custom toy out of one. Well, Bad Barb fought me to the end. Everything I thought would be great turned out awful but I wasn't gonna let Bad Barb get the best of me, so I fought back!Using a Zurg arm from the Buzz Lightyear movie and a little custom toy magic, I took this Barbie and made one Bad Barb! I also added a simple diorama base for her to stand on.Even though she was a pain, the end result turned out pretty cool (although not at all what I was thinking in my head). I hope you enjoy this custom toy build video!Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always..."It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"
Lets Make a Plane From Trash DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-06-18 | I found mouthwash bottle and had a model plane kit I found at the Goodwill and thought it would be cool to make a scratch build/kitbashed trash plane. I kitbashed some plane model parts, model tank bits and other trash bits I've collected to put this together. This kitbash trash build came together pretty easy and with a little custom paint and some weathering I think it came out great. I really love that it has a Hayao Miyazaki feel to it! I hope you enjoy this toy customization kitbash video!Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always..."It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"
I Made a Robot From A Gum Container DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-06-04 | Aside from being amazing gum this container is perfect for a robot! Just by looking at the shape I knew it had to be made into a custom toy Robot. I used some Gundam bits, Final Faction parts and the legs from a Funko Legion Titanfall. The shape of this Hubba Bubba gum container made the perfect body for this robot. I also added an LED light from a tea light for an added effect.This was definitely another think through it as you go build and the end result turned out pretty cool!Here's the link to "How To Use LEDs In A Custom Build - The Easy Way" I used on this Tic Tac Robot:youtu.be/TSYEcjZlLgEI hope you enjoy this custom toy build video!Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always..."It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"
I made a Samurai Mando DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-05-21 | I made a custom toy born from the fusion of two iconic worlds. Behold, the "Samurai Mando" action figure, a captivating blend of the Mandalorian and ancient samurai warrior.
