these are two Humvees are from a Revell kit. I finished it some time ago already but anyway wanted to show you this.
The first one with grenade launcher is just according to instructions with paintjob and stuff. The second one supposed to be an ambulance. however I didnt like the look of it so I improvised and made a transporter out of it with some snow camo :)
I also tried to do some weathering and traces of dirt to the vehicles.
Hope you like it!
Please don't be too harsh on this....I am not at all a professional modelmaker or something similar!

it's been few months we've been trying to make a decent tesseract, but even though dimensions and shapes are good, the resin has never given us a really good result.

These are the pictures of what we came up with until today.
With lights I must say the effect is really cool :D

We'll keep trying :D







and here you have a bunch of cubes :D

This is for the Light Staff from FF XI, which some of you may have seen before as Volpin has created one of these as well. I made it a point to try to interpret the design a little differently, which was easy since the model is so very low poly.


I drafted up a design in photoshop and printed it out, then tacked it onto some plywood and cut the base out on the scroll saw, then used styrene guides to build up the basic skeleton. Then...bondo time.


Bondo, dremel, sand, bondo, dremel, sand, calipers, sand, sand.
I also used half of a plastic ornament for the orb.





Primed and ready to embellish, this is the happiest I've been with a bondo surface yet:


Using puff paint to draw the filigree (I know, ghetto, but it works):


1/8 in half round styrene for the straight lines, I have had more trouble getting this to stay glued down.


More and more styrene and paint. I actually started making puff paint decals using tracing paper and tape, that way I could perfectly mirror the designs, well..almost perfectly.


It's been a heck of a learning experience, but I'm pleased so far, hoping to have it ready to mold by the weekend. ]]> Replica Movie Props Joy http://www.therpf.com/f9/final-fantasy-xi-lght-staff-build-wip-148289/ http://www.therpf.com/f24/need-ironman-mk-3-foam-file-help-148285/ Fri, 18 May 2012 05:16:37 GMT Hey guys I have been looking around the site for a few days but can't seem to find the ironman mk3 foam files.

First a little backstory: My best friend recently became a mother and she asked me if i could make a couple of paintings for the baby-room.

So i took the picture into Photoshop and retraced all the different layers and then made templets to cut out from felt and paper. She loved them.

My work...



Tomorrow I'm going to surprise her with another one that i just finished
And that is Le Petit Prince (little prince) or Lille Prinsen in swedish The Little Prince - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I happen to see that she had the book in her bookshelf a while back and when i made those two other painting i remembered it.

I based my sculpt on the cover of the book:

The sculpt is made from Super sculpey that I harden with my heatgun.
This is the first time i was able to sculpt a face so that it really looked like a face.:happy

I have the habit to overthink things that i make and that only makes it take too long time to make, with this build i started to think that i should add a couple of Leds inside the volcanoes just for the "lava effect" but thank god i scratched that.
I made a tiny rose that i stuck onto a wire and made the glass cover from a plastic candy container. Everything is painted with acrylic paints.
After it was ready i hot glued it to a canvas frame that i had painted the background on. The whole frame is 8x6 inches. The prince is just a little over 2 inches long.

I'm pretty sure its in the beginning of a movie where the opening credits were done cartoon style, similar to the movie, "Ruthless People." For some reason I think that there were monsters or some sort of creatures in it but I'm not positive. I know its not much to go off but maybe someone here has an idea. I'm thinking it was a movie from the 80's or possibly a slim chance early 90's. ]]> Entertainment and Movie Forum Rusty85 http://www.therpf.com/f47/song-opening-credits-movie-new-added-video-148261/ http://www.therpf.com/f9/sideshow-indiana-jones-city-tanis-map-room-148260/ Thu, 17 May 2012 22:29:05 GMT Here my pics: Image: http://www.thx-trailer.com/replica/indy/indy74/IMG_0587.jpg Image: http://www.thx-trailer.com/replica/indy/indy74/IMG_0592.jpg Image: http://www.thx-trailer.com/replica/indy/indy74/IMG_0615.jpg Image: http://www.thx-trailer.com/replica/indy/indy74/IMG_0629.jpg Here my pics:

I recently did the replica ESB, but wanted to do a Vintage ANH, but wanted to step up my DIY PVC chassis building and make it a crystal chamber.

I went through a couple of ideas, but finally came to this one piece design that worked out pretty well. The next time I will try a different design, but I think I like this one for its simplicity.

The chassis is only 5 pieces of PVC: two caps for the crystal and focusing crystal (aka blue LED dome), a bushing shaped down to fit the main tube and attach to the graflex shop blade holder, and a bushing shaped to hold a TCSS 2w speaker and be the end cap.

I could have gotten just a LITTLE more space out of this with closer measurements, but while tight, this works about perfect. The only thing I really could do to make it easier would be to wire my own battery pack to save a couple mm over the TCSS 2 AA holder.

The Petit Crouton 2.0 fits tight inside the body, and in the end I had to cut a little recess for the board to slide in. The reason was, when test fitting, I left the batteries out of the AA holder, and the batteries added about 1-2mm thickness I had not planned for. So the clean shape had to get spoiled a little in one small spot.

I also found a black low profile, side pole mount recharge port to use. This was only way I could think to get a working charge/kill port in the hilt, and fit inside the way I planned it to. It was a challenge for me, as the data sheet on the recharge port sucked, and I had no clue which poles did what. I eventually figured it out.

I used two brass sink/faucet seats for the crystal holder, along with some hot glue and press fit the crystal in. There's a hollow brass tube for the wiring to run through. I thought about doing multiple tubes, or other posts, but it started to look too busy and icky. So just one.

The speaker holder BARELY fits on the main body, so I had to cut some grooves for the body and speaker holder piece to lock into each other slightly so it would stay together.

The SD card is accessed by taking off the speaker holder gently, and I can get at it with my huge fingers with no problems, and no nails. ^_^

For the body particulars, it is an early FOLMER Graflex flash with no patent # and short knurling on the red button.

Slide switch Activation and red button Aux. The slide switch took some tweaking, but I got it perfect. You have to slide down to activate, but immediate slide back up to take pressure off of the button. The reverse for turning it off.

The grips are Blast Tech, as is the bubble strip. The D Ring is from thegreatgalling on the RPF forum, but is the smaller ring.

I also got some ideas from Brad/slothfurnace and drilled out the D ring screw for a sound hole. I didn't want the bottom to be peppered with holes, and wanted as screen accurate as possible, so that was the only way to get a good sound hole. I also added two more hidden ones under the D ring tab. Without those, the saber is VERY quiet.

I also added a small mesh to the glass eye, which after milling out the blade holder, lights up with shine-through from the LED and blade.

I also made my own boot sound for it, and a custom Force sound. I know the force sound isn't LUKE related as much as just something cool from EPIV.

That's about all I can think of… so.. specs and pics.

Specs:

Petit Crouton 2.0
Madcow's Heirloom Font (with custom sounds by me)
Seoul P4 Blue
Crystal Chamber
Vintage Graflex
Blast Tech grips/Bubble Strip
D ring from theGreatGalling on the RPF forum
