My Mechanical Bone-Themed Crossbow.

I am REALLY digging this thread. Keep it up, sir! I can't wait until it's all done!

Excellent!
I must admit I was starting to wonder if maybe you had abandoned this one.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the bow come together :thumbsup

If ADHD... so when I get to a point on a project that I need someone else help, I have to pause. Then while "waiting" I get involved on whatever other thing I'm working on... It's a constant juggle to keep all my projects active at any one time.

Plus, I can only work on stuff as I have the funds, which are extremely tight for my family these days.

Remember that metal 1/4 dome aluminum piece in the background of the above pics? It's a doorstop!
And now its a lower jaw!



Of course a lower jaw alone is...lonely, so I formed a skull face to go with it as well. It's from a vacuum-formed piece off a cool coin bank I got. Then I tucked and attached material to it to blend into the rest of the quiver.



Finally, a bit of color matching paint over the skull face. The flash makes the color a little light compared to the leather. To the eyes in regular light it looks to blend well.



So how does it look so far to you??

looking good :thumbsup
If I was totally anal, I'd ask if there was any way that the lower jaw could be 'squared off' a little at the bottom.

Want to do a "photoshop" sketch of what you mean?

As a lover of all things bone-themed, this is a fascinating idea. And well-executed, thus far.

This is sort of what I meant (to make the jaw a little more 'life-like'):

to give something a little more like this:

please forgive the crudity of the editing, but I've only got access to 'paint' at the moment

A little more progress on the quiver done. Nearly able to call it complete.

dude! that turned out really great! nice colors.

 

[whiteraven]

Okay, the quiver is finished (as far as I can tell).

Tell me what you think folks!
