Action Figure
I want to make my own action figure. Where do I start?
I’d like to have an action figure of myself, but not sure if I want to pay to have one custom made. Plus, I like to be artistic. Besides skills in sculpture, does anyone know how I can make one myself. What materials do I need. Any online tutorials? Any suggestions are appreciated.
I’m not sure what you mean by an “action” figure but lots of people make figures from polymer clay (which is a plastic, and must be hardened in a home oven unlike air-dry clays), and those figures can vary widely from very simple to highly realistic, large to miniature, even bendable, etc.
If you’re interested in trying that, check out some of the “sculpting” pages at my polymer clay “encyclopedia” site especially:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/sculpture.htm >especially the “Websites” categories
http://glassattic.com/polymer/sculpting_body_and_tools.htm http://glassattic.com/polymer/heads_masks.htm
http://glassattic.com/polymer/kids_beginners.htm >Sculpting

AND perhaps:

http://glassattic.com/polymer/Halloween_etc.htm
http://glassattic.com/polymer/miniatures.htm
There are polymer clayers who do custom figures too (mostly as wedding toppers) but they probably wouldn’t be cheap.
If you’re interested in checking out some of those, look into some of the sites of people in these links, for example, and see if they do custom work (and you like their style), or ask them if they would:

Or you could also check out the sites of some of those who do the custom wedding toppers and ask them about individual sculpts too:
