and also my deepest condolences for your loss...your last year has been a constant struggle... that costed you lots of time blood and tears I can only guess how much...but you fought like a tiger and you came through...which is a really good thing!...I hope you will have a much easier going new year ahead of you and your loved ones...


cheers, vik

Thanks guys! Yes, 2014 is looking pretty good so far.

I have been working on getting molds made and re-done.

I'm making a new mold for my bottles. I tried to make some more bottles for a couple of people with the old mold, and only 2 bottles came out. Yuck. Anyway, after getting the cobwebs off of my mold making skills, I'll work on molding up the Pony.

I also bought some new resin. Hopefully it will set correctly.

I hope the rest of you are having a great 2014 so far too!

Thanks EB for blowing the dust off of the thread!

Glad it's going well for you Jake hope it continue for you as you deserve a good year
Glad to hear your getting back to it mate, just hope you return to your 3d renders one day once you feel like it
Hope the family's all well to mate

Jake, I still have the bottles you sent me minus a few, but if you need them back to redo your molds just let me know by pm

Thanks LDD! I have not forgotten the SP Special Weapons, but I don't have a computer at the moment capapble of running the program...Santa missed that present apparently.

Theophony, thanks for the offer, but I still have my master bottle casts, I will be making the mold soon as I get home I hope.

If I win the lotto I will send you the Hardware just glad to hear your still considering doing them mate

I'm looking forward to that LDD!

I have lost the original files for the shotguns I did. I was going to make the rest of the special weapons based on the shotgun frame, but now I have to start from scratch.

Oh well, such is life.

If I win I will add a little extra for the hard work

Wowsers that a lot to take in for what has happened to you over the last year.

You have shown strength and determination. An inspiration to us all.

I hope you recovery continues in the good manner that it has so far.

Hi everyone!

It's been about....I can't remember how long since I had an actual Picture update...I could look back, but...whatever.

I hope you all had a great time away, I have been busy, more busy than I could have imagined a year ago.

I finally got the My Little Commissar in a mold box! I know right? I used Lexan this time. There did not appear to be any bowing of the sides, so hopefully, the cast won't be warped.





I poured the mold the night before I left for Alaska, so I can't cut her our until I get back in 2 weeks. I hope it will be alright, I have never left a mold set that long before...Well nothing to do about it right now.

I am not officially accepting any more commissions, but I am going to do some "alternate" stuff for Emperor Bacon since the accessories (apart from the pony) he wanted me to do origially kind of went sideways on me.

I still may try to re-cast the gatling gun, but that's for a different time.

He is looking for some Dwarf parts, and that is exciting in itself. Love the Dwarves! I REALLY want to make a 40k Dwarf Army (Counts as Space Marines!), but not in the forseable future.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I was alive and kicking (speaking of which, I got the all clear after my CT Scan in April! No more Cancer!), and still sculpting.

I have done some odd bits here and there on my chaos marines, but I don't have pictures with me.

Thanks for stopping by,

RSJake

Oh, and LDD, I am going to be working on a Rifle for Emperor Bacon, so when I get Blender up and running to make a 3D model, I'll work on the Steampunk Special Weapons too!

and can't wait to get my hands on her once the mold hopefully becomes sucsefull oh and jake about dwarf count as space marines just make short power armor legs thats really the only thing you need and would be an instent buy since i have not found a single person who make short power armored legs to make dwarf power armor

GREAT NEWS MATE SO GLAD YOU GOT THE ALL CLEAR KNEW YOU WOULD

Also Great news on the special weapons the rest of the parts I need should be coming to light soon (hopefully this summer) so all coming together

2 weeks for a mould set WOW !!!! hope it comes apart ok all though sure it will

P.S. I will need some more of the SteamPunk rifles if thats still cool, when you have the time of course

40K Dwarfs does Bacon want sci-fi dwarf stuff or did it just jog your mind of something you wanted to do ?

Glad to see you back

Congrats on the cancer free call , I'll cancel the Ork painboyz I had on call for you.

Thanks! I think EB has WHFB Dwarves, but ever since I saw the GW 2ED Squats, I wanted them. Now I want to make some that actually look cool.

Yeah, There a lot of SciFi dwarves out there, but they would look good as IG, but I want the armored kind. But this is mostly just WANT, not "gonna do".

Thanks Theo, I like having most of my teeth.

I want one when the mold is finished

We watched a MLP film with my son the other day, and my wife could not believe that any grown men would be into it. So i pointed her towards Dakka

Glad you have the all clear mate Well done for Drop kicking nurgle out of there.

Ha ha ha ha! Yes, there is a vibrant community of MLP enthusiasts here!

My daughter loves the show, as a result, it is on quite a lot, and it is really hard to read a book while it is on, so, I have watched quite a few of the episodes myself.

As far as modern cartoons go, there are certainly worse ones.

And thanks mate. now if I could just get my butt in gear and lose some weight too, I'd be set!

And xxweapon primexx, I will keep that in mind!

hey mate, good to see you around again here!

and I am glad for you that you finally got a clean green light from your docs!

and as to the lil pony... the cloth and the hair looks stunning!

Hi again!

OK, I am super excited! As you may recall, I had just poured the mold for the Pony the night before I left for 2 weeks. Well, I cut the pony out when I got home last Friday. The mold looked pretty good.

For those of you who do molds and casts, have you ever made a mold of a horse? Or something with more than 2 legs? Not easy, and not really fun.

So I poured the first resin cast this morning. I was nervous. When I popped it out, it was amazing!!! I could not believe my eyes!

It had been a long time since I did a resin pour, and even longer that they came out right! Talk about a confidence boost!

Here are the pics of the resin pony:




Well, the second cast is in the pot right now. I am off to pull it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

RSJake

Cast looks great, nice and crisp. Good job!

I approve!

Thanks! The second cast came out too!

It only took me just under 2 years, but I got it done!

I got you some champagne to celebrate... But I kinda drank it all.... Last year...

Hahahaha! That's ok, I'm gonna get some beer later. Yay!

yeah i agree came out really well for a first try jake

The textures have come out beautifully. Another stellar project. Well done dude.

Dam that looks great for a first cast especially you lucky bugger the detail looks so clean well done mate

I can't say I'm much for the MLP stuff, but that does look good and I'm glad you finally got it finished.
