Reboot DVD: TV Show on DVD from TVAddicts
This was the first I found but also the cheapest....however buyer beware...the shipping costs like $40 and it still takes 2-4 weeks to get. :confused
So I have no idea what the quality will be like but I've seen these offered on other sites as well but they cost quite a bit more than on this one (but shipping might be less so maybe it evens itself out but who knows). Ya certainly not licensed but anyway...
I'm just hoping it is better quality than my VHS recordings of the original Seasons 1 & 2 and then I'll be happy.
Plus downloading from Torrent always takes so long, so what the heck I'll try it...

I discovered a problem with the whole pepakura process today. I sanded all the sides of Glitch flat, and that wore through sections of the paper, which made them pill up and become really rough, which I couldn't sand out. So then after I was tired and pissed off from all the sanding I went inside and washed off the dust. And off peeled almost all of the paper, leaving the surface extremely pitted and uneven. So it looks like I'll need to build up the outside now with some bondo or glazing putty and then put a coat of resin over the top. I'm fed up with it for now, so I'll wait until tomorrow.

Hey, I've got to ask, because I'm kinda confused. What is the double circle for? Is it the inside of the cog? I know there is one for the outer cog. The other is the downward slope and "face" of the cog, yes?

Thanks SithLord, and to DemonFire thanks, any screenshots of glitch are welcome.
As for Risu, you know I told you that you would hate little peps, the way to avoid that would be to use alot or resin, and maybe even a little fiber glass on the outside before sanding.

this is turning out to be a challenging pep for just a simple prop

Yup, I knew it would, but nothing worth making is easy or simple, there is always a twist.

Yea, I should have done a second resin coat on the outside, but I was worried it would mess up the shape of the bevels. I'll jump right back in tomorrow morning. Today I have to replace the radiator in my car, because it loves me enough to crack in half 5 days after I got it back from the shop.
I got the pocket watch lens from ebay today and it's perfect. The right size and fairly flat for a pocket watch. And it's made of glass, which looks a heck of a lot nicer than plastic. While picking up some antifreeze at walmart I also grabbed a watch with a fairly cool looking display that I'm about to take apart for the electronics. Here's hoping they're workable.

Thanks, reassured me. 
And looking forward to some pics of what you have thus far. Sounds like you've got a nice prop going...

Hey, look what I found:
Reboot Icon Button from Zazzle.com
Anybody gonna get one? It would probably be WAY easier than making one, but I'm not sure how gold the gold part actually looks. They also have regular sprite ones.

Cool! After I get my Airsoft MK23 SOCOM, I'm going to get one of each since they are only around $3!

I've been on a laziness kick the last few days and haven't worked on Glitch at all. I think I'll pep the cog tonight though. I'm going to try for the cleanest pep I can get and then VERY lightly resin the outside, fill the inside, and then mold it without any sanding. Then I'll do one resin pull from that mold and work with that to fix all the little details and remold. I go back to work on Tuesday though and I have a month's worth of orders to catch up on, so the molding will probably have to wait a week or so.

Sweet, can't wait to see your progress.
