dreadrings

[b0nd]

after ages of looking for dreadrings i found a good material at last!! they are called reducers, i think they are used for pipework or something. they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and dirt cheap. i picked up 50 from my work for a tenner! im now in the process of painting them so i will post pics when they are done. im not exactly sure where you can buy these but as i said i got mine from my work which is an electrical store www.electriccenter.co.uk if anyone is going to use these then its probably best if you just go in a store and ask for them rather than order online cause i think you have to have an account with them.

lol

make with the pics dude.

 

[ronin1]

Yep...pics would work.

ok ok ok ok! lol heres a pic of them painted they look yellow in this pic but they aint quite that bright IRL... strange. the colour is "yellow ochre" which was the closest colour i could find at the store i got the paint from

they look abit bright for my liking atm, ive been tryin to think of little designs to put on them but to be honest im **** with stuff like that, if anyones got any ideas please let me know

 

[YAUJA WARRIOR]

wow those r great idea!
try sum wires and form them like a face hugger or sumthing and then glue em ,,, it might work to look like small markings
great job!

IF they are plastic you could just attack them with a lighter and melt some random patterns into them.

P.S i aint got a clue what they are but they aint plastic, ill find out 2morrow at work

The reducers appear to be what we here in the states call PVC pipe couplers.They have a thin lip in the middle of the inside that hold well to foam dreds,and come in a varity of diameters. Cheep from most hardware stores that sell plumbing supplies.Easy to carve and paint.

I hope hammernuts sold you the mold or gave you permission, as if not thats called RECASTING

I have NOT given anyone the rights to recast my work. I am absolutely PISSED! at this! I even gave about 20 extra rings at no charge as a kind gesture. Please do not buy anything from him if he is selling them. I make almost no money off my work as it is.

 

[Usurper]

Jeeze some people have got either big balls or small brains , blatantly flaunting recast work.
