!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOUSE DAGOTH GOBLET IS COMPLETED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've still got some things to work out, but for the most part the way it looks now is how it will stay. I've still got some tests to do involving painting a test piece of cardstock paper with the paint, dust it with the patina...

Small update without pics. I've managed to finish drawing up the details to engrave on Wraithguard. The ones on the main body of it are traced and brought out more clearly from the actual model's texture. I had to do some improvising near the wrist, but it's turned out to my liking. The...

Okay so what I said about Wraithguard being on the backburner was a bit incorrect. The day after I typed that my dad came home with a quarter inch thick bar of copper big enough to make the spike guard out of. So I've worked on that a bit over this last week and just finished it today. This is...

Well I'm finished with the finger plates so this will be the last update for a little while. I need to sort a few things out with the next few pieces I'll be making, especially since I've finished up the last 1/16in thick pieces and the next ones I'll be working with I'll be stepping up to 1/8in...

Any updates?

Hey guys, I'm back. And I've got a new project, or rather I should say a project I've wanted to do I'm finally working on. I'm a bit into it actually but I didn't want to post anything about it until I was sure I was going to seriously work on it. After making most of the fingers and buying a...

hey so, my computer is 100% definitely fubar'd. I don't feel like talking about it so I'll just say that it sounded like a pack of firecrackers when I plugged it back in AFTER the storm an hour ago, so don't expect to hear much from me for quite a while.

Well I've been busy with stuff, but I managed to get some work done on the goblet. This is what it looked like before I carved any of the details. I had them outlined and ready for carving. This is after I carved the center, the handles, and cleaned up the spikes. I still need...

I figured it's balsa wood by it's appearance lol. You need to think outside the box when it comes down to something like this. If you want to have it more accurate then that's what you should aim for. You could try your hand at finding some hardened tool steel and making internal supports like I...

Personally I decided they were grooves dug into the material like a record because the way the shadows are made on the screw in the center shows that it's sunk below the surrounding material. Although when I did this it didn't leave me much material left once I carved out space for the blade...

Here's some pics Adjusted the colors to how it looks in person. Low light conditions with Keening's light off. Low light conditions with Keening's light on. Pitch black with Keening's light on.

I've built 2 LED's into the base of the blade so it lights up now. I removed about 3/4cm from the middle of the steel bar that goes through the base of the blade, drilled a little hole through the blades very bottom, wired the LED's in parallel, took about an inch of wire, and essentially...

KEENING IS FINSHED!!!!! Take a look at the first post for new pics at the bottom.

ugh, got a headache. I've got all the cracks carved and darkened with patina and honestly, I'm quite surprised at how good they look. They look natural to everyone I showed. I've just got one area at the bottom to carve which I'm saving for tomorrow and then it's on to the solvent dye. Gonna mix...

Here, I'll link you to a FREE .NIF file viewer/editor(morrowind's models are .NIF's) and a download of keening and sunder's models. It's actually a mod that re-textures keening and sunder, but the models are untouched and you should be able to use these to look at keening and sunder at any angle...
