Personal Projects
Below are some pictures from when I made a wooden chest, I never got around to completely finishing it but I like how it looks so far.
To make it I first started with pulling apart the pallet I was using for the wood. Then I took out all of the old nails, cut the wood to size and sanded it. After that I glued the panels together and clamped them while they were drying. Then I used a nail gun to attach all the pieces together, sanded the whole thing again and stained it. Once the stain was dry I added some felt as lining and screwed on all of the hinges and handles. It still needs a catch on the front for the lid but I haven't found one I like yet.
Below are a couple random designs of things I want to make at some point, I will post if I actually make them. I chose these designs as they each would show a different use of materials.
I have now started to make the sword design and I will put pictures of the process below. It is not yet finished but it will be soon.
No further pictures as of yet
Below is the process of making the prop rats for 'Silence in the wings'. I start by making the basic body shape with tin foil, the sculpt over the top of it with polymer clay. After that I bake it and paint the arms, tail and head. Then I use a glue gun to attach the fur to the body and head. For the smaller rat I used wire for the whiskers.
Below is the process of making the tree stump, I started by making a basic wooden structure, I had cut the wood using a jigsaw and screwed it together. I then covered it in card board and added details. after that I mod rocked it and painted. It turned out a little darker than I would have wanted but I think it looks okay.
Below is the process of making my Jschlatt Youtooz figure, I decided to make one because I didn't get the chance to buy a real one. I made it out of polymer plastic so that it would be sturdy, because of this I did have to prime it before painting it. I made it a while ago now but I thought it was decent enough to put on here, I plan on making more of these figures in the future. I used hot water and a lighter to heat up and mould the plastic and stick it all together. It's not the best thing I've ever made but I like it.
Below is the process of how I made my Bride of Frankenstein sculpture, I started with making a wire armature and bulking out the figure with tin foil and tape. After I did a base layer of polymer clay I added the wrinkle details. Then I added the arms and tested the size of the head before sculpting it and attaching it, once it was complete I baked it and painted it with acrylics in black and white tones.
