    Props My scratch built MA37

    Wow, I really like your method, especially at the very start. I'd always gone the sliced weapon way, but it would seem that this would be able to achieve a much faster turn-out time for a basic object as well as less materials and that means cranking out more awesome even faster!

    Hi 405th! For anyone who happened to see my first Razor thread, you might know the back story to this. My ex-girlfriend (who I am still very good friends with ;)) loves Johnny Depp movies, her favorite being Sweeney Todd. So this year, I am making a new razor set for her as movie accurate as...

    40K Space Marine - Scratch Build

    Wow, you can put all the details right in with the piece right there! I love the hands! I tried thinking about what to do for those for a fantasy build of mine, and I couldn't figure out how to get it so the wires would not be in the way, but that Bolter looks heavy!

    Its time for the medics to make it happen.
