Re-inventing my zam stuff

[MonCal]

Hey goldenrod, I'll get that to you asap


I made some progress on the first part of the left gauntlet.

And the handgaurds:

Don't mind the crudeness and semi-crooked lines. I'll fix those on the first casting before making the final molds.

Great work Cal. Once again i'm in awe of your crafting skills

Thanks Russel


And the top part of the left gauntlet:

Now to mold that and cast resin pieces for all of them, clean 'em up and make yet another set of molds for the final pieces

SPEECHLESS ...

Really really amazing ...

One of the best pieces I have seen in my life .

Congratulations for such an amazing work ...

HATS OFF ...

If i had a chance i whould hire you... Great work... If your novice there is only one way... And that is towards great success.

Regarding your snowtrooper i whould love to make the softparts for it.

I whould like to make a Winter Version for real winter weather. Hot,
breathable and parial water resistant materials.

I also whould like to make a summer version of light weight, breathable material.

Thanks for the compliments TMP!!

I've been making some progress on the leather pieces.

In my opinion these books are the best for color representation and the dressing the galaxy book is the closest to my neoprene that Yvonne had made. Plus I prefer those colors the best out of all the reference photos

Well, my plan was to make resin castings, clean them up, make new molds and then cast them in fiberglass but I'm running out of time so I figured I'd just make them in urethane resin and see how they hold up at CIV.

Totally awesome, really.

Any chance to let us sculpting noobs in onto the secrets of "fixing the crooked lines" ?

I guess that you just take some filler and then go about sanding everything that is not straight ? I.e. make one "rough" mold, then a master that is cleaned up and then make another mold ?

Aw man, so much to do in so little time...

We barely got the zam done for CIV. Kathy had to do a little work to it in L.A. as a matter of fact and the stupid hoses were still sticky

It was worth it though. She won 1st place in her category of the costume contest which was definitely one of the hi-lights of the trip

Saw the costume at C4, and it was a thing of beauty. Amazing job!

 

[MonCal]

Thanks Joe! It was great to meet up with you finally I loved the paint job on the tie armor btw!

 

[MonCal]

we took some pics this weekend. It's so odd how the lighting is always different and always changes the shades of the costume.

This blaster project is finally coming to fruition!!!!
They are complete with lights and sounds. The barrels are CNC machined aluminum. I made the handles and detail bits out of resin.

This is the first five assembled with electronics. I have 5 more to build with electronics for people. The sounds are awesome. It sounds just like Zam's blaster in the movie ... which coincidentally is the same sound as the tie fighter .. I believe.


We have placed more pictures of the Zam in the gallery on this website:
