Viktor von Domm wrote:well...actually i thought about going to use it for ground work on the knights body for starters... cutting it up...well the tips at least would then be later still usable on small scale...

also there are these silicon "bristled" brushes for baking and stuff... the bristles also could be used for this sculpting effort...




i know i sound like a miser here... but honestly it isn´t for me the amount of money atm but rather the challange to find other means to an end...

Those bristles could also probably be turned into rivets easily when you're done with it.

Yup, like Rogue's (I think) rod-cutting rivet thing

just noticed that the "beat this unit" thread is a popular chain thread made in may 2010, and is still only 9 pages ahead of this thread made in 2011, basically a dozen or so guys talking about rivets

at shrike... lol


at not_u... yup nothing gets wasted for the hobby^^

Also, found this:



I think Klaus, not Santa has belittled your airship somewhat, better finish it, quick, eh? *hint hint*

go to Klaus, not Santa's website, he is a scratch building GOD!

Link please, didn't know he has his own site!

i have the body of a god.... to bad the god is Buddha......

(i know Buddha isn't a god)

Hahhaha fatty

Are you calling him that for his username or for his comment?

A little bit of both

No really he is a god ……. and his stuff is amazing he encouraged me to scratch build after seeing his work

That is epic...

Yes, but that's not an Airship. That's a Flying Ship. There's a difference.

Yes and Viks is better....

Well to be fair you cant say that until its finished " cough " hint hint " cough "

ohoh...i wouldn´t wnat to be messing with ole Klaus... (he is german after all and might be living near me^^ so better not make him angry...you never know who migt end up on your doorstep^^)

and well klaus stuff ranges on the superhuman stuff i have to say... i have seen numerous projects of his and always mindblowing to say the least...

and well... my own airship...argh...yeah... hopefully one day it sees more work...

thanks max for the laurels^^

and fatty... that was cool yet funny too^^


as for the knight...well... sculpted a bit further on the torso ribcage... but i seem to have some serious issues to get that part anywhere symetric... i definatly stick for such big projects next time more to PC and cardboard than sculpting materials...

tho i worked on it some more i still deem it not picworthy... maybe in the evening night after some more shaping up work i get some pics for you...

You are welcome...



Cause it's true.......

The knight's looking good vik, considerable progress since I last saw it, head and legs looking great. That was about 30 pages back by the way

Nice start to the lego hulk too - nice to see you expanding into gs after your sucess with plasticard. That was about 5 pages back by the way


Thanks for keeping things slow while I was off, but feel free to pick the pace up again now

thanks monkey^^ i try to be of service to you^^

as for max...

sorry guys ...promised some updates but i was a couchpotato that evening... we wathced one of my favorite shows atm...terra nova... dinosaurs and automatic guns... well what is not to be liked with a mix like that?^^

but i have high hopes for more work to be done tomorrow on oth fresh projects...

by the way... jake...whenever your steampunk guns may arrive in the future... i have already made up a plan to use them with some wargames factory greatcoat bodies i have... now i just need to find suitable looking arms and heads to go as well... or your nice skullheads

Vik, not sure when those might go out. Sorry, there have been...delays....Soon I hope!

And yes, I already have some heads I will be sending to you.

no rush mate... i just typed this to share my thoughts regarding the steampunk guns of yours... they are spooking in my head for quite some time now^^

I just had to Bump this...a WHOLE day with no one posting here? I thought it might be one of the signs of the rapture!

The first sign was the death of the Gate Keeper...Dick Clark....We're screwed this year.

....oh no.. well get your ZDF gear ready, its staaaarting!

It's ready. I got my Zombie Preparedness Bag in the closet. I'd take it to work with me, but I can't have guns at work.

cant.... or shouldnt

Can't legally....It's a government building....They don't do searches though...I could at least sneak a pistol in in my lunchbag! Shhhhhhh
