Man your sculptures and models are out of this world, the level detail you go into is out of this world. Your next 200 videos should be nothing but steampunk , dieselpunk!!.

Having a background in Cabinetry/Carpentry, I was looking at the feet of your mech when I realized, hey those are hinge plates...then I looked at the legs 😀. Very creative use of cabinet hinges 👍 !

Great sculpting

Starting my day with a video from my master, how wonderful is that! I said it earlier your droid/robots are great. I really love using existing part, like those hinges! Every time I see those hinges I got the same thought as you do! Fantasy is endless! The start of this droid is really great! Whaaaaaaaa go crazy over here! Thank you for sharing!

i am glad i found your channel you are doing great work ,i just got a resin printer and i am making all the details for my creations, i think is something you need to consider ,it will help you design and create complicated models easier !

Thanks! Yeah it'll definitely be useful in some circumstances but I've seen how long it takes to 3d print stuff so it's definitely quicker to turn some things on a lathe or to sculpt then mould them the traditional way.

Love this, it has a proper grim dark style to it, much like some of the wh40k stuff. The clay you used is oil-based, it looks like. I take it that makes the sculpture less permanent? Or do you have some kind of trick up your sleeve for casting it in resin?

@thedarkpower

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Chris. Yes the sculpture does give it abit of a 40k vibe. So I've actually now moulded the sculpture and cold cast it in brass. I'm going to paint the rest of the body a dark red so it should look nice against that once it's polished up. That'll all be in the next vid.

You have to spend a shiteload of money on silicone! Over here its 30 Euro per kg.

@thedarkpower

It depends on what you get. The stuff I commonly use is between €13-19 per kg approx, but you can spend much more if you use stuff like smooth-on, for example.

What type of resin was the black resin to make it flexible like that?

@thedarkpower

It's polyurethane. I don't think it had fully set which is why there was some flex to it.
