Well, the set is complete. The only thing left to do is show them with a little paint slapped on.

Thanks Colm.  I tried my best to get them as close to screen accurate as I could.  Glad you approve.

I want me some of those beads, prreeeety

I had a request for these. Since I never really got around to them originally I figured it was the perfect time to give it a go. These two are meant for far lower on the dread than most beads. I may still do one specifically for the tip itself. These still need a little cleanup etc.



This ones pretty simple and likely better looking with paint. Sort of a moon rock with tiny craters.

This armored bead will likely fit close to towards the end of a dread. Maybe even hanging right over the tip a bit.

And here's a shot for scale.

I'm not officially back into beads yet but I'm currently remolding everything. I may put them back on the market once a couple other projects are off my bench.

Nice update! I like the layers on the armoured bead. Have you been thinking of doing some beads that will cover the dread tip completely? Think P2 elder, but bigger/longer and more "stuff" to them (his are plain and on the very tip).

Nice. Very nice work.

Thanks guys.

Have you been thinking of doing some beads that will cover the dread tip completely?

I plan to sculpt one shortly.  The issue is that they become bulky if built around the dread tip.  Not to mention there are a variety of dreads out there. So the only idea I have at the moment is similar to what they did for avp but in reverse.  I'd end up casting a rod in the bead tip.  Then the dread would have to be carefully trimmed to match.  Just glue, insert, and you're done.

I'll be the first person to get his new a visual dread tip beads. Cheers

I originally planned on a plain dread tip. After sculpting one I didn't like the look and took a small loop tool to it for the detailing. This is a pull from a junk mold I made. Now in resin I'll take out any lopsidedness and smooth down the surface. I've got some work to do. lol

It's look fantastic dread tip. An the bottom tip maybe need a smooth round tip surface but every thing else it's good. I love your smart details. Can't wait for more of your awesome dreads tips ideas. Keep them coming.
