Too kind, but im glad you like them Andy!
Happy memories is exactly what drives me. I will never stop playing with toys and I know most of you are the same.
I've already made Green Hornet. Kato and Commissioner Gordon but I haven't had time to share them yet. Each one gets better and better.
Thanks again Andy!

Re: Marx style 3D figures
I've done about 13 or so of these Marx style Batman figures but I've been too busy to share most of them. Here is my latest design, Clock King on the drawing board.

Re: Marx style 3D figures
I have a bunch of these Marx style figures I've been making that I haven't shared yet. I was doing a new one a night for awhile. They were happening so fast that the quality of each are all over the place as I learned the sculpting program. After some learning curves, I slowed down and then wondered if I was ready to share any of them or wait until I reworked some.
My early figures like Hornet and Kato ended up losing too much resolution and definition because of their file sizes and my lack of understanding the sculpting tools. I have learned to start sculpting in a lower resolution and build up the shapes equally as the resolution increases instead of having a very detailed head that degrades as I weld shapes together. I was losing a bunch of nice sculpting because I didnt know what I was doing. I'm learning how much detail is possible with my printer, better sculpting angles that don't require printing supports and the ways to create shapes that don't have tiny details. At first I sculpted Alfred's tiny glasses and it failed to print so I learned to just make his head and glasses one shape. Having the same issues with tiny fingers at this scale too.
With that said, I'm proud of these guys and what I'm learning to do. The last few like Clock King and Shame are starting to look pretty cool. I went back into my Batman and started reworking him with my improved skills. You can see both versions in these pictures. I decided to go ahead and show them off instead of holding back.

Re: Marx style 3D figures
I even have more done that have never been printed. Penguin, Mad Hatter and a new version of Aunt Harriet with a better face. Maybe more but I don't remember. Lol
