Finishing Touches [1]

Despite not quitting yet, as there are still 9 more days till the end of the season, I managed to stop playing to finish off these two models. I added minor detail to the existing arm and even added some front detail to hide my rough cuts. With a chest plate and crotch guard, all that was left was to use some resin to reinforce the flimsy swords... oh and paint them too. Adding to the pile, one very small skull with the remaining green stuff.

Much More Than Expected [1]

I wasn't planning on posting this month due to a lack of enthusiasm as well as spending too much time on Games. The plan was to start next month, however, I decided to sit down and see what happens. With a new sharp scalpel blade, I started slicing pieces off the Dire Avenger. It was much easier with a new sharp blade, but I was also being much more careful this time, trying to avoid slicing into my fingers. After making the sword, I decided to model the pointing arm. It took a long time, but 
you can just barely see the pointing finger. I had greenstuff left and rather than messing up the hand, I decided to work on the second one! The second was much harder, but after over two hours, I wonder if this the second step in breaking my gaming addiction? Or is this just temporary fix?

Day Off [1]

I had the day off and all I had planned was a BBQ in the morning. The rest of the day, I treated the tablets as if I was at work... meaning I didn't have them and "shouldn't" be playing games. That meant I had more time to invest in other things, including a bit of spring cleaning and working on this model.
I super-glued the Shuriken pistol and used green stuff to mount the sword. I even added the shoulder pad and still had some to spare for one extremely small skull.

A Change of Direction [1]

I decided to go in a different direction and decided to do the Dire Avengers instead and create the Phoenix Lord Asurmen. The hard part was that his profile was different, so I went and chopped the figure into three parts. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been 
easier just to create this from scratch, although my biggest problem is keeping it small. I mixed as little as possible some green stuff to model the feet, but still ended up with a small amount left, just enough to make a skull (even though it looks more like a face). I used a new tool that I had for a while, although the silicon tip wasn't firm enough, but the small ball on the other end proved quite useful in shaping and smoothing the green stuff.

Just the Two... [2]

Rather than melting plastic to plug holes and imperfections, I returned to using green stuff. With the PG's now all touched up and after countless of searching for ideas on how best to add the details to the rear, I was ready. And with only a small amount of green stuff left mixed, I was just able to knock out two small skulls.

The Skulls (2)

Unlikely I'll have any time to start anything new, but as I decided to finish my Ghaz by adding his horns, I had plenty of green stuff left to make two more skulls. So that ends the year with 56. Only 944 to go! And I started this two and a half years ago!

Drying Out (10)

I came across this image of Citadel Skulls and reminded myself of the Skull Challenge. There were some inspiring skulls on the cover, so I decided to try some. The Milliput came out and it felt a bit hard, but I continued, determined to make some more skulls. Despite the attempt to air-tight them, I don't think it worked well. It have been almost one year since using this Milliput to make skulls! After kneading small lumps from the two parts together for five minutes and getting a lot on my fingers, I spent the next five minutes picking out hard bits that did not want to break apart. With half the original amount I mixed (maybe even less), I managed to make ten skulls. However I don't think I'll be making any more with horns. I just hope they harden.

Working without Glassess (1)

I've been taking my youngest son swimming and my eyes are full of chlorine making them tired and hard to focus, forcing me to take my glasses off. Although it made things easier, especially while trying to add a nose and ears to my original concept, however once i needed to find something not in front of my nose, I couldnt see. Mixing greenstuff with plastic wasn't easy and I was drilling a hole into a 1.6mm rod with a 0.5 drill bit so I could stuff greenstuff inside to get a more secure hold for my horns. This task was made harder as my Drill bit holder couldn't hold something this thin, so I had to hold the 0.5 drill bit between my fingers. The three balls are intended for the rear of the backpack, one just a ball while two others I tried something different. In hindsight, I should have just waited for it to dry and cut it in half before glueing it onto the round thin plastic. The remaing green stuff was made into a skull, although potentially too small to mount on the of my three Ghaz and looked more like an alien rather than some animal skull.

Failed Bases (18)

I wasn't sure what I was planning, but thought I'd try out some bases using the rolling pins. It failed as the Milliput kept coming off the plastic and staying on the pin. Time to read the instructions. At least I got more skulls.

Fast Turnaround (4)

Probably the quickest model I made, although after design and prototype, it was easy to replicate the Gun Tower. This time however I didn't mess around with melting plastic to
make clean joins and went straight to green-stuff. Although the green-stuff was getting more dry and it was less soft once mixed, it meant using the remainder to make skulls was quite difficult.
