Thanks, I thought it summed things up nicely :lol

If you see another one, please don't shoot it. For my purposes, the roadrunner needs to be alive.

If you need help with ideas for traps, just let me know. I have some good ones.

Since I'm not in San Francisco today meeting up with Flosi, I decided to pick up a few beers in Oklahoma City to fill the emptiness.

Hey Flosi's Cantina buddies. I was planning to display the Jabba and Throne set today and noticed that a a tooth or two are missing on a couple of the heads and they were nowhere to be found in the box or anything, unfortunately.

I don't really want to send something as big as the throne out to somebody for a repair, so I thought I'd try it myself. I've never done any sculpting myself, but I don't think a couple teeth won't be that challenging. Any tips on materials, paints and sculpting techniques?
 
re: (galactiboy's Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

I google searched and found this awesome tutorial:

For the teeth:
1. I used brown Sculpey and rolled it into little 1 inch rods and baked them for 30 min at 275 degrees, let them cool and get hard. Because of the teeth variation on the throne, I made around 20 rods with different diameter widths of "taper" at the end of each rod.

2. I then used an exact-o knife to cut the tiny teeth from the tips of the rods. Using tweezers, I fitted the teeth in the mouth and cut them down even more depending on the height of the break. I made sure they aligned perfectly and then superglued them in carefully with tweezers. I also carefully sanded around each tooth if needed.

3. I let them dry a while and tested their strength with my fingers, I then painted them metallic gold or bronze, then washed them with an brown umber and used a combination of calypso blue and green to match the tarnish on the gargoyle head unit.

after that, I was stoked!


Thank you, Creighton. Wherever you are.
 
Still no card, Ben. :(

Thanks to all my friends who went out of their way to drop me a card this year. I tried to reciprocate but the wife ran out of our normal Christmas cards after I sent a handful to some of you. I'll do something cool next year for all my buddies. :)

Chase! Married?? Why don't you share these things with your Internet friends?? You didn't even start a thread!! :tap

Really though, kongrats, my friend! :rock .... And good luck. ;)

We all seem to have a lot in common. Of course with the new puppies, there's been none for me in I don't even know how long! And it'll probably be awhile yet...

Merry Christmas to all you guys !!! If you happen to eat in a Chinese restaurant today or tomorrow, make sure you ask the Chinese owner and employees to sing the "Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra" song from "A Christmas Story."

We Chinese people love singing it to you white folk.

Need to figure out Sting's secret.
