..... but the army grows.........

Wow. That's a lot of molds, and a lot of resin. This is going to be amazing project.

For ball joints, I recently casted up the parts of a HT ankle joint and with some sanding got the ball to fit back into the joint. It's extremely snug. FYI.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

yeah I did that with the space marine foot... It was costing me a fortune just to buy those little ball joints

 

[shocktrooper_au]

geez dorgs, would have thought you'd finished a couple by now mate, slowing down in ya old age

 

[Jediguy]

awesome stuff Mark!! amazing work! Btw how fragile are they? say the main body took a tumble off the table

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Cheers Sock... yeah to much going on for my wee brain ...

but I can not wait to get a shot of primmer on one....

Shyam... how tough are they

Well I use a resin that is mega tough..... take one of your space marine bits.. and throw it on the floor... hard if it breaks I will send you a new part but it won't... this stuff is ace..I experimented with some other resin last week, it cast up lovely and was easy to use but when it cured it was bottle.. well it did not withstand my testing program andy way.. which is me being clumsy and knocking stuff over and standing on it ..
ow and the USCM parts arrived Shyam.. thanks so much and that project is next for sure...

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

got to cast up the final 7th Safs body and thats me sorted ... I think


Started playing around with the parts today... they are gonna be so much fun to make...

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Been playing around with some animation armature.. bleeding great stuff but wiped out the dollie funds... should be worth it though...

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Aslo a quick update on the USCM project

 

[pcleemake]

Wow, it is looking good. Did you cast the resin hollow within? (not solid) That's quite amazing.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Yeah roto cast them...

 

[pcleemake]

That's amazing skills. I can't figure out how roto did it, cos when you cast it hallow, won't the reproduction jam within the mold? I am impressed

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

yeah remoulding is a total nightmare I will take a pic of the mould and show you ... its a BIG mould bigger than my head and weighs as much as ma momma... and she's a biggon!!!

Right the animation armature is stunning... but way to expensive... so I have come up with a much cheaper option of using some animation wire instead....

It loos a little short at the mo.. but I need to figure out the joints... I am thinking of using either black latex gloves or some thicker black rubber gloves... my nurse has loads I can have!!! Matron!!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

All thats left to do is reproduce the hatch and its done... well the easy part is......

Used more wire to play around with Number Two.....

Also reworked the fingers to get a bit of expression in them..

 

[Jediguy]

Mate this is disgusting! Love it!

 

[Crimsonbob]

So much awesomeness i made poopies.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

totally depleted all my silicon on the last part of the SAFS SO EXCITED

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

This is next years project along with a few other friends to with them.... better order some more silicon

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Started on the 3rd SAFS. Cast up some solid legs and used animation wire... and man it works a treat...
