Princess Luna Action figure (fully articulated)

[Idris 241]

I think we are roughly on the same page though. My job is designing heat exchangers, and they have to have proportion. I call it Engyart. The winch add-on was a hobby idea that grew. Just something to do I guess? Something I wanted myself? Same as the three foot long robot fish with clear resin head. It was an MEng project, but also something I am proud to own. Current project is a walking stick that is a seat (shooting stick) that hints at the look of a machine gun. This morning I was writing poetry. Around here there's an electric sack truck, some railway loco's, and a 1/32 scale Scottish stone cottage, made with individual stones with a tiny trowel. For me they all fit into the category of "I fancy building that today". I am in awe that you can share your art in this way. Not just because of your attention to detail but your persistence with the project. I'm an awful "that's close enough" character.

Were more alike than you think. if this goes according to plan then this will be the first big hobby project that I complete at this point i've put so much time and money into this that i have to finish it. just for my own sanity

I've done some more work on the instructions. i'm also painting one of the new heads just to get an impression of what the final thing will look like

 

here are page 1 through 4 which will come with the kit version of the figure.

I'm legitimately impressed!

 

Really, astonishing work! That figure sure is worth more than anything Hasbro could come up with. 

 

You truly are the embodiment of "If you work hard you can do anything", some people would instantly trash complex ideas. It's inspiring to see someone who puts his hearth and soul into a project.

Are you making these and selling them? If not, I suggest you should, you could make a lot of money making these and selling them to bronies all over. I know people would definitely buy this, I know I would most definitely.

He already sold the figures some years ago, and supposedly there were serious design flaws and he has yet to return to the project. Here is the page with the information.

I have not sold any of the figures precisely because of those design flaws.

 

it was a good learning experience of what not to do though.

 

I could fix the figure so that it will work but that will require quite a bit of time, which i currently neither have the time nor interest for.

O wow. You came back. Well, that's better than I what I assumed which was that the flaws were realized after the figures were sold. 

[LittleCutiePie 113]

Wow its awesome! a good figure  !

[Crypty Scribbles 5,056]

Wow. Looks impressive, but I think that plastic mane looks weird...

[That Guy with the CMB 5,873]

Wow! That's so well-done! Excellent work. c;

[Whirlwind 1,059]

This is pure talent and passion. You have a wonderful amount of heart and soul making what your heart desires

I enjoy your work

[SoaringSentinel 139]

Finished it!

didnt want to wait till the weekend so i put it together now...
As i said before she's got more design flaws than i can count and she looks decent in pictures. but she can barely stand. Some parts had to be glued into place but i'm proud 
if i'd have to do this again i wouldn't use ball or friction joints. but instead i'd stick to hinge joints as much as possible





I'll see about getting better photo's made later

[Regal Shadow 825]

Cool! Do they have any other ponies?

[DaringDo-While 47]

Wow that is so cool!   Good job!

Nothing but amazing for sure.

Just saw this.

I have always wanted to make figures. I have a 3d printer and all the tools required. Just been so focused on other things to make anything. 

Great job on this and I wanted to say one thing. (Those air bubbles I hear can be popped using a hair dryer.) 

Anyway I also use Maya and I use Zbrush too. I can make jointed models but have not done so.

The most complex thing I ever 3d printed was a horse cart. 

Everything here was 3d printed except the horse (Bryer) and the metal buckles.

Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
