The making-of concludes! Part one is here.
With all the painting done, the final parts were readied for assembly. Then it was time to break out the needle nose pliers and superglue!

The making-of continues in Part two! Part one is here.
Time for some bling! A few small holes were drilled into the figure around the ankles and wrist to allow chain, wire and accessories to connect securely and seamlessly. At this point I assembled all of my metal pieces for placement and fitting. This was all done prior to painting so that threading chains and fitting roughed out sharp metal shapes wouldn’t ruin the finish.

I often get requests to do some behind the scenes ‘making-of’ posts like I did for Milo & Ditch or the Android figures. They’re fun to do, and I managed to document the process of this particular project pretty well, so here we go again for my custom of Ferg’s Misfortune Cat for the recent show at Munky King.
Sorry for the lack of creature fun lately, lots of good projects cooking! More updates soon, but speaking of cooking…
Things get messy as we delve into the details of pouring hot liquids into metal in part 4 of the behind the scenes series.
Part 3 of my behind the scenes Birth of an Android series is up at the Dyzplastic Blog. This week, prototyping and packaging.
Part two of the behind-the-scenes look at Android mini figures is up on the Dyzplastic Production Blog! This week, design layouts!
Curious about the toy production process from start to finish? I’ll be writing up a series of posts about the Android mini figures over the next few weeks on the Dyzplastic Production Blog starting with Part 1: Groundwork!

Masking time! Here I’ve cut a small heart shape into an adhesive vinyl frisket. I protected the surrounding area and sprayed a few light coats.
People told me that they enjoyed my behind-the-scenes of Milo And Ditch earlier this year, so I thought I’d do a little one for my Munnyworld figure. This isn’t quite as involved, but still fun to share the work. Munnyworld opens this Thursday and runs through the 15th.
We start out with a big ole blank 20″ MUNNY figure that Kidrobot was nice enough to send months in advance. I, of course, did not get around to working on it until a few days before deadline. Woops.
