Post by: Rasputin on December 20, 2015, 12:47:29: I asked over at the pcc if these new klickies could come apart to make customs and you go and just make your own from scratch........these turned out so beautiful that I prefer yours over geobras. You could find some migrant workers and open your own production facility :elf:

Post by: macgayver on December 20, 2015, 14:06:18: Thank you for the compliments

Walter, I made a tutorial on my website how to take apart a 60 cm figure

how to take apart a 60 cm Santa (http://www.macgayverplaymobil.be/fotos%202015/weihnachtsmanndemontieren.htm)

It is under customtips

For years when I got my first 60 cm knight I wanted to customize these figures
Tough they were hard to come by and very expensive

The santa offers lots of possibilities

Making the Accessoires from scratch with plastic and GFK polyester is quite a challenge
But a lot of fun

The hats for example are fully made with GFK and all Handmade
you should see our attic , all dusty now ;D

All the best

Thanks for the link to the how to.

All those years of experience in your industry sure payed off with your custom playmo projects.

I think someday you will make a working Life sized pirate ship and set sail to utopia

GFK is a polyesterbased produkt it comes with an activator
once they are mixed you have 3 to 5 min to apply the produkt wich is like fat mayonaise or pudding
then it starts to harden

in the beginningfase of the hardning the produkt is still very soft and can be sanded in a form with a grit P40
you need to be very fast because the hardning process continues
once hard , it becomes more hard to sand

I build the kepi in layers

It does, thank you

I agree with your tag too

"One picture say's more then a thousand words "

If you make more, you seem to never stop, could/would you take a few pictures so we can see the maestro at work? I will never be able to make these but I am very curious how you do it.

I'm guessing it involves the use of chewing gum and a paperclip, but it would be great to see the reality.
