Fantastic work on both the bogs, and the boxes. I for one want those boxes by the dozen. Don't know why because I don't play, but I still want them.

i know what you mean...on both issues

as for the toilets... looking very good... tho i have to say the classic one is my favorite... the left one pales out compared to the right one...

Thanks Vik. That's what I'm going for; to have everything I make (not just the boxes) look like a bought model.

The main reasons that I'm making the other one is that I have a real one to hand to measure and study closely and as practice for the FO bog and for a bit of variety (other types may appear in time as well, I have taken reference pictures of the Vault toilets too). There may be a piece of terrain that someone builds that the more simple looking toilet fits better.

Thanks Cam.
Do not worry, that'll be the subliminal messages getting through...

But really, I'm happy that you do like them, and enough to actually want some.
Looks like I'll have to make a large mould of many boxes when I come to it...

Neat boxes, hurry up and castem, so I can buy em.

Dam they do look like actual kit boxes who would have thought we could get this giddy over Boxes, either way put me down for some when you release them

P.S. I used some cast of sprue on my badass base, kind of a montage

Thanks Comrade. I'm still waiting for the Oyumaru (I seriously need to look that name up every time I write it...) to arrive.
Once it does, I'll be able to create the casting masters that will fit together neatly (part of my cunning plan), and make lids that actually fit well on those boxes. Although I can start on the lids, it just requires measuring things.
Then they can be cast up, which may or may not require some trial and error tests as that is new to me...

Thanks LDD. I should put some thought into making my sprues look as professional as my products then... *cogs start whirring*

I'm really quite pleased that you all want a box or two. Gives me a lot of motivation (relatively, I am very laid back in reality) to get things made.

P.S. I used some cast of sprue on my badass base, kind of a montage

Good to hear. More people should use more sprue, more often.

I've been working on a couple of second sides for a couple of the boxes (if you haven't noticed, making only 2 unique sides per box is also part of my cunning plan for a few reasons; quicker, kinder to my fingers, you're only ever going to see 2 sides of a box at any one time and it will help create square boxes) and doing a little bit of painting and shooting Mirelurks with my favourite gun; the railway rifle...

If I had these, I would be too tempted to make a white sail ship mark on them, for the East Empire co.

A very valid use indeed.

Like this

Haha, If I got them i write porn on them and make them objectives...

QFT


If you do wind up casting / selling some, put me on your backorder list and let me know when they are available.

Shas: Yeah, you just have to hope that some sneaky person who can speak "dragon" doesn't kill all your guards and run off with the contents...
Comrade: Sounds like a good idea.
Skalk: Thanks. Do not worry, I will likely be shouting it from the rooftops (or at least plugging it in my blogs).

I have done a few little bits, but nothing worth showing yet.

However, in other news; I can reveal what plastic I have acquired...
This may excite quite a few of you, so make sure you are sitting down and try to remain calm.
Continuing with my collection of battleforces I have:

So they will appear eventually (I still have to Tau box to start on).

I also picked up the new SM tactical box. I'm quite impressed in the improvement of the kit as a whole: The instructions are useful ("more" would imply the previous instructions were of any use), not that I need or will use them, but it's nice they've made an effort. AND there is lots of nice useful bits in the box too and they will be useful.

Catch you laters.

I really can't wait to see what you do with your latest acquisition. And I guess the SM's are useful.

Drop everything. You have orks. Make them.

Orks don't wait in line behind pansy fish boyz now get them out of the way before there's a special on sushi.

This is England, and here we wait in line politely and don't make a fuss...

But seriously, I'll need to do my research before starting the greenskins or even the blueskins.
However, with them now available to me, something green is that little bit closer for all of you.

Tell a lie, I do have something to show.
This now makes 4 unique box designs/sizes. I can now measure up for tops/bottoms and bottoms/tops.

Cool!

Sweet

Ah, the British and their qeues for everything

Well it's the polite thing to do

BTW, I run a Argonian Dragon born in dragonscale armor, LOL!

Ha. My Argonian is my mage character and is pretty much at the point and click stage in battles.
and doesn't even need to wear armour (mage armour perk)
and is my best archer (conjures a bow and arrows, so don't carry them either).

Seeing the new box parts...I want to see you that epic box scene of the first Indy movie...you know which one...that with zillions of boxes

The warehouse of artefacts dam we would all have to send our sprue his way hmmmmm……… fancy a challenge Doc

Ah, the floodgates have opened!

The Price of Fame!

Well when I get round to casting them, I won't need so much sprue. It's only being used for the concepts/masters.

How about, you buy my boxes and build your very own warehouse of artefacts
and I promise to keep producing new and unique boxes for you to extend your warehouse, yes?

Sounds good to me anyway...

Good plan yeah
Or you do a tutorial on how to make these boxes ourselves, we all cast our own, and exchange them all together...

Lo MauS, welcome.

Only a fool would show trade secrets like how to reproduce my woodgrain effect and build structures with the resulting planks before trying to sell products made using exactly the same technique...

See it as I'm doing the hard work and repeatedly (ok, occasionally) cutting my thumb for you...

So do the ones with your blood on them come cheaper? If so I'm all over it, I'll just clone you a dozen times and put the mini Dr. hinternets to work in my basement with my piles of sprue. I'll finish my sprue habitat before the rest of you .
