    Stores..? Are you referring to my freelance stuff? If so it's going slowly but it is there hah...

    Oh no the unfolds are great, it's my proportions that are wrong in the 3D files. And my own skewed image of my own body size XD Like I said the buttplate is the right size and everything, the entire thing is just too wide. If it was made any thinner in the unwrap stage? Then it would not have...

    As always thank you so much for the kind words, they really do mean a lot to me. In regards to how long I have been doing this, I have honestly always loved making costumes and little props, but it isn't until recently I have had the money to try some of the 'big boy' stuff such as molding...

    halo 3 recon NOW FULL SUIT! wip by Spartansonny

    One thing to keep in mind is where the trajectory of stuff will actually hit. If it was a blast right before the face, chips and marks and such would be collected mostly in the front, and any on the sides would be grazing sort of scrapes as the shrapnel flicked past. The back of the helmet...

    Complete Pepakura Viewer for CraftROBO guide/FAQ

    I am jumping on the band wagon with having an issue with the Silhouette Cameo that I can’t seem to understand. I have followed the tutorial listed here to the letter. I downloaded the needed updates to make it work with windows 7, and I have had successful cuts. However, every now and again ((At...

    It is interesting to see the process of hard molds for use in softer castings. I myself always end up going the other way with a rubber mold and a hard rotocast casting. Either way this is brilliant and your sculpting work is very clean. I look forward to see how this comes out. I know you said...

    The Tongue was a bust. Turns out my mold was a Tin-Cure mold, while the rubber I poured in was a Platinum-Cure. In short, they don’t mix and the thing will never cure, and it ruined my original mold. As such, I had to make a new mold entirely from scratch. Luckily the original clay tongue didn't...

    Yeah, I made the clay model yesterday, textured it with sandpaper and a wire mesh, then poured the mold box and let it cure overnight. This morning I cleaned the mold out, and poured the Dragon Skin in. Time will only tell if this will come out how I want it XD

    Just a tiny post today, nothing substantial completed that I felt was worthy of being posted other than the tongue. It is made of 'Dragon Skin' rubber that was dyed with 'flesh' and 'blood' pigments. I worry though as the entire thing has cured except the 'skin' layer, which is still...

    Eee thank you :3 Really, I just need to make the throat and then I think I have everything I need to make a full taxidermy head. Now here is a question. Should the throat be just the alien's throat? Or should it have the pieces of neck armor on it? I can't see a 'hunter' leaving the armor on...

    First build: Foam halo reach custom spartan (probably Pic heavy)

    Hot damn does the spam bot have a hate-on for this thread D: But really the armor came out really nice, and I LOVE the lightswitch on the side of the helmet. It looks so convenient, and really? With it being so dark? Likely would not be noticed if someone wasn't looking for it! I may be...

    Well today was very long, yet rather productive. I started the pep process for the hip armor, but I didn't get very far into it so I didn't bother taking any pictures. I sculpted the tongue, but sadly didn't think to nab a picture before I poured the rubber mold over it. But I will say it...

    The bondo work still makes me envious, as I know I will try to mimic a lot of these tips and tricks and will likely 'rofl-fail' all over the place XD Either way it's coming along nicely! And if you do decide to do another shot at molding? I would be perfectly happy to give my insight on the...

    BR85HB SR Battle Rifle (WIP)

    Oh this is ridiculous. The level of detail and such is amazing and really something to applaud. The paint job makes it all the nicer. Are you going to make a box two piece mold where you block off half in clay and pour the Oomoo atop, let it cure, then flip and pour to make a large chunky...

    Pepakura... I both hate it and love it. The outcome is so nice, but the process is so time consuming even with the Silhouette Cameo cutter. I don't know if I am just inept, or if it always takes a VERY LONG TIME to put stuff together... but this chest piece took me three days nearly 10 hours...
