So, I've been working on and off on an old vinyl Screamin' Army of Darkness 1/4 Ash model kit. I managed to find one on eBay that actually wasn't a recast for a decent price. The only problem is that it had no box, and was missing the chainsaw blade.
With such a large scale, I'd like to recreate one that looks as realistic as possible, so just cutting little triangle shapes around a sheet of styrene just isn't going to cut it (pun probably intended). It would look like a hack job (pun definitely intended).
So I'm calling out to all you RPFers out there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to create decent chainsaw blade teeth? The blade itself is easy enough to cut out of some sheet aluminum, but the teeth are what's got me at a standstill. Any advice or ideas would be very very appreciated.
Also, here are some progress pics. It's not much to look at now. Just base coats and some skin work.
Added some missing shirt tatters
Shaved some incorrect detail off. Still need to sculpt it in.
Arm from the elbow up is all sculpted from scratch. My father (who is a professional sculpter) was "stumped" with how I got the realistic detail into the gauze. I mashed the long john shirt I was wearing into the epoxy while it was still wet, and then carved some lines into it. He was impressed.
