Any thoughts about install a device that shoots dart-tips?
Hmm ..., I mean one that looks like it could shoot some.

Since the spear is on stand still I had to get back to this. I am starting the body sculpt. I really liked some of the
stuff I did on my mongo giant Topknot gauntlet so I am going to attempt to use some of the panels on this new one.
The first thing I did this morning was cover this in tape and secure the blades in place. I am going to try something
that I have never tried and that is to sculpt the body right on the mechanism. Here goes.
Here is the top panel cut out and laid in place for sizing. I don't know if you can tell but I cut the tops of the blades
down. I decided to try and make this as sleek as possible.
I'm trying to keep the top piece below 2.5 inches. Compared to the last one I did this is a midget.
That is it for today.

Brian, I haven't sculpted any of it yet. That is the cover for the old one. I layed up an extra so I could do a stunt double of it
but then I switched gears and started over on this one. I liked the top panel I sculpted on that one so much I decided not to sculpt it over again and just cut apart
the old one. I will be sculpting around that panel and I may even use other parts, shoot I may end up having to resculpt the whole thing.
We will see how it goes. By the way I always use regular old oil base clay.

This is a really different way for me to do things but I am sort off enjoying it. I chopped up the rest of the old gauntlet body and
cut, ground, and heat gunned the parts together. This will be all that I will do this way, The rest will be sculpted.

Hey Steve that is funny you said that because sometimes it's like that for me on my own builds.

I'm calling the front end done. I can only smooth things so much in the clay. I will finish the smoothing after it is cast.
