Foam Sculpting My First Bio - Beyond The Final Rung

BonzRus said:
Thanks guys...it is turning out well so far and I am having a blast making it. I have purposefully not been trying to push these things until I can get a little more caught up which is helping to give me some much needed breathing room. The pressure pot works great for making bubble free silicone molds as well and it is helping me immensely to cast the detail pieces. Brian, I love what you did with yours. The clean look, black leather and stand all turned out great. The hoses also really helped to set it off.

Thanks Steve, I had a GOOD base to build off of.

Here are some more shots of Lem's bio. Got the leather cut, skived and embossed so it is ready to glue in. Next up will be the lenses. It is almost done.

Hey Steve the new button and holder look great. I have a question, what are the 6 prongs all for on that switch?, Can that actually be used as an on/on for a forward and reverse action?
 
Hey Lem, glad you like it. I finished the paint and leather last night. it is now down to the lenses and lectronics (2L's) HA! Here are a few more shots of it.

Jeff, the switch is a DPDT so you could wire it to do one thing when pushed and another thing when pushed again.

It's kinda sad to think this is possibly the finest bio we'll ever see!

How anyone could create something more beautiful is beyond me, but I'm looking forward to seeing people try. After all, we all need a goal to aim for to drive us on  :)

kudos Steve!
 
You're right Jason. I have a feeling this bio is going to bring a big f'ing smile to my face! ha!

THANK YOU Steve!

It's artists like you that make  a purchase all the more enjoyable from day one. thanks you for the constant updates and great pics along the way. I feel so excited  to add this bio to my collection!
I know I'll be getting what  I paid for tenfold.
Thank you!
Lem
 
Thank you Lem. You are too kind... I hope that the pictures have done what you will soon be getting to actually lay your hands on justice. I am quite pleased with how it turned out overall and I hope you will be too when you get it. The lasers lined up well on it and the leather installation went much smoother so I must be getting better as I go but it was not without is teaching/learning opportunities to be sure. As I have said before I learn something new every time I build one of these or kit one up and it helps to make improvements in the product. I look forward to hearing what you think when you get it.

What's next on your workbench Steve?

Threads like this are the soul of this place.


Amen to that.  I'd like to see a plasma caster--this method of foam construction seems pretty well-suited for it. And there's all sorts of fun lighting and wiring that can be done with it.  :)
 
Well....I am working on making some dreads on my other thread http://www.thehunterslair.com/topic/29354-dreads-first-pulls-04012013/ It is an interesting experience. I am finding that I love working with new materials and the flexible foam is really cool stuff. Still more work to do to refine them but the process is workable. I am also very close to having my level 2 bios to where I can add them to my sales thread so I am trying to get to that point which would more or less complete what I set out to accomplish in this thread.  I have also started collecting every picture I can get my hands on of the P1 backpack as I want to start working on one of them soon. I haven't started yet as I am still in the research phase of it. Lflank, this would of course encompass a plasma caster as it is a part of a backpack. I am also looking to make a rotocaster using battery powered rotisserie grill motors so I don't have to deal with belts and pulleys or gears or slip rings. I think it would help keep it simple and keep the costs down. Just something I want to try. There is sooo much to do and I often struggle to have the time to do work on stuff but I am trying to be somewhat strategic about it. Thanks for asking Lee.

Good stuff, aint it Lem?  Mine is the center piece of my collection!!!

OK...it has been a little while but here is the beginnings of another one I am working on for Clay. All the parts and sub-assemblies are ready to go. I just have to put it together. Just a few shots which are nothing really new but show the progress so far. I hope to have a couple of these kits up in the maketplace soon.

All the fixed parts installed..

Primed and the base coat applied to all the parts.
