Pyra custom update #2

Hey everyone! been awhile, and unfortunately the project progress has been slowed down a bit due to other life stuff, but here thought it would be a good time to show off some of my work.

i can't lie this project has been so difficult 😭i'm having fun learning though. i finally managed to get a version of the torso that i actually think is decent. trying to figure out the engineering of everything has been a hurdle but megami device's ability to be disassembled has helped immensely. i had to make the decision to remove the neck articulation all together. some earlier models i managed to make it work but im also accounting for paint rub, so im trying to find a proper balance.

most of the smaller ornamental details are separate as to make it easier to paint. but i'm very happy with how shes coming out! and im very excited to be able to get to work on mythra as well. once i'm able to figure out a way to make pyra work all mythra will be is a simple reskin and she'll likely be finished much sooner than pyra.

exciting stuff!

Update #1 on Pyra

Sorry for anyone who saw my first draft I accidentally posted lol. But a month or so ago I posted on here talking about making some XB2 customs and wanted to post my first update on Pyra even if it isn't much. For some background I'm very brand new to 3d modeling and printing, and I've also never built/ worked with a megami device body before. So this whole process has been a HUGE learning process and it's been so fun! I still have a lot to learn and improve on, but I'm super excited to do this as I've wanted to for so many years. This is only the first version, as I'm still trying to get the perfect balance of scaling all the parts. However, as pictured in the last slide I'm already making more and improving on what I've got so far.

Should I get a DAC or a usb-c cable?

Hello everyone, I recently received my very first pair of iems, and I absolutely love them. I use them with my cd player and they sound better than anything I've had before. However, I wanna start using them with my Iphone 17. My question is, should I invest in a DAC or a cable that is already usb-c? These are the two I've been considering.

Customization help

Hello, I apologize if this isn't the right place to be asking something like this. I don't build megami device kits or anything related, and I'm not very well informed or understand the real differences between all these models, but I recently bought these bootleg bodies in hopes of making pyra and mythra xenoblade 2 customs, and my main issue is that I'm hoping to modify the bodies to be more accurate to the characters. I know there is chest and hip upgrades, and wanted some pointers or suggestions for those upgrade kits. I don't mind if it is 3rd party or needs a little bit of modification to be more compatible. I'm mostly looking for wider legs/ hips, but nothing too voluptuous looking. I've included pictures of the bootleg bodies, the character im trying to make, and a picture of this kit I've found, but I'm unsure if it works for the body I chose.

Suggestions for blank bodies to use for a Pyra and Mythra custom?

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some suggestions on a good blank body base to use for customs of these two. I'm looking for one that would scale well in a 1/12 scale smash bros collection, and has import style of articulation (figma style articulation at minimum) to match the other import figures I have for my collection. Any suggestions and advice would help, thank you!
