Pin Mods - You did what to that pin?!

Sammy.Sam

All thanks to @silrn for getting this train going & supplying the paint pens.

Here is a place for everyone to show off their pin modifications. Sorry @fishfishmonkeyhat

To get us started here is a pin I modded. Tippy has dubbed it Toucan Sam.


This was a Tourist Gabe (East core set 2015).

fishfishmonkeyhat

Could someone do a roundup of all the ones posted to twitter the last few days please?

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

If I did something like this for East, would people be more or less interested in trading for them? I guess it depends on the person.

I think that most people that get this done do it for personal reasons and don't ever intend to trade them.

Also you have to be famous not forumous.

Someone could easily pin mod and have people want said pin. I'm already interested in attempting it and looking to trade them at East for potentially other mods (if I see any). Obviously I would let anyone trading know that I inked up the pins.

Got the left one done by Dabe, the right one done by Katie.

redfield85

That Katie one is fantastic. Haha. The flower on the head is genius.

I love all these

Ayefkay

Considering attempting to do some modding myself, what kind of ink/tools would I need for it? I'm thinking some sort of fine tip pen or nail polish brush?

@silrn you should post a pic of the markers you had to this thread when you get a chance.

MUHAHAHAHAHA. That is all.

Gavin fixed my melty-eyed kemper from the pinbag fiasco!

Capt Wasabi

I can't decide if all this is awesome or criminal.

grandoldaubrie

My poor kemper was already destroyed, so I have no guilt. Khoo, however, drew this. I was going to trade for his bust, then I spied an ENFU girl so I grabbed that instead...he got the hurt so I explained that it had a heart so it won. Then he made it "khoo-ter" (too much pun?).

Who was it that had Gavin's "Gaybe" pin?

Is this what you're looking for @Hingo

That's it! I completely forgot he was posting those on his Instagram!

Sammy.Sam

Tippy got Gavin to make a Castle Merch mod, inspired by @sireniti who was inspired by @TheAggroCraig and his love of castle guys. Also @Hingo got castle Merch shirts made for PAX South. It is a real castle guy renaissance around here.

Hingo

@sireniti made the shirts, I just paid Amazon to ship the blanks to her place. Best part about them? I didn't take a single damn photo of anyone wearing them >.<

fishfishmonkeyhat

Shirts?

Sammy.Sam

Hopefully @Hingo will post a pic of the castle Merch shirts soon. In the meantime here is a mod that Scott Kurtz did for @silrn


Edit: @fishfishmonkeyhat the shirt has been posted https://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/203204/pax-south-2016-is-over-be-sad-in-here-new-members-and-recap-thread

what would be the difference between FINE and EXTRA FINE tips? im looking at two different packs online,

http://www.fishpond.com.au/Toys/Sharpie-Paint-Marker-Pen-Oil-Based-Fine-Point-15-Colour-Ultimate-Kit-US-Toys/0844925013802
A pack of 15 with fine tip,

http://www.fishpond.com.au/Toys/Sharpie-Paint-Marker-Kit-Oil-Based-EX-FINE-Point-8-Colours-Sharpie/9999805322390
A pack of 8 with extra fine,

It seems that extra fine has alot less colours available anywhere i look, would the 'fine tip' be ok or is that too thick?

thefawnn

Extra fine is ideal, it's suuuuper tiny and wonderful to work with. Fine would probably be doable and more colors are always fun.

Hingo

@Ayefkay artists said they preferred extra fine because of the level of detail it provides. However, fine is a good thickness for fills.

Edit: that $102 fine marker link looks a bit outrageous for a price. http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Paint-Marker-Point-Based/dp/B005QEZ9YW/

This Tycho tot lost an eye.

My Tycho Tot went soulless, so I decided to try this pin mod action and went with this:

Kurpav

I saw Gavin and Dabe working on a lot of new ones. Don't know where else they're being posted, but here's mine from Gavin.

Super thanks to Gavin for the pinmod of my cat Oatmeal!

Alpha_Kavu

Gavin did all of these for me on Monday.

Kurpav

And Cyclops Tot finally grew up. Dabe told me he could fix his "X" at a later show.

Spokane_SnowMan

I saw a few of yours by Gavin while hanging around. The cat and the Fruit Fucker Carl are both awesome.

The two I was lucky enough to have done. Pirate Dog Meat with Rocket Pop and a 12th man transformed into a TB12.



And Jeff's response to the TB12:

Kurpav

Lol, I was at the table when you mentioned your plans for that pin. Glad it was so well received.
