This one was really fun. I used an octagonal prism to connect the torso so that it pivots and can be rotated.

Question:

What's the difference between an oil-based paint pen and a water-based one. I had no idea they made different kinds until I was in the store yesterday.

They would be used on canvas/photos if that makes a difference on which ones I should buy.

1/18/2011 11:00:24 AM

water-based is going to be more like a marker and dry faster, but I'm not certain it will work as well on canvas. Oil based ones stink and are more likely to have flow issues, so plan to get your project done in one or two sessions in a well-ventilated area or you may need to get multiples.

Mechwarrior 3 Cougar

Double jointed arms and pivoting torso. This was fun, but I like the Timberwolf more. I think I'm going to make a Mauler next... The Cougar is a 1-40 scale and the Timberwolf is a 1-50, so they are a bit off in relation to each other...

was gonna post in the "tww art show" thread, but it's dead. this will do though




the colors in this one are a little off due to my camera -- or at least they appear to me on my screen. the center portion of yellow on the right side is much more yellow than the yellow-ish/green/browns near it






i'll get around to finishing this sooner or later:






just started this:

hmm, maybe we'll go with the water-based ones and I'll do a test run then. We're basically using a big canvas for our wedding guestbook rather than a traditional book.

i made this chicken coop this past summer

1/23/2011 11:16:18 AM

I keep trying to convince my parents to build a coop since they have plenty of space, but mostly because I just want free eggs

You may want to consider oil in that case. Oil paints hold up better over time (they should fade less). If you live in Raleigh, go to Jerry's Artarama on Wake Forest Rd. They usually have demo packs of most stuff. You can try one or two of each and see if you like how it works/looks. Then just get the type you prefer.

I'm diggin' the Battletech models. I don't suppose you play Battletech? Or do you know only of Mechwarrior? [/closetnerd]

1/24/2011 9:56:54 PM

Thanks I never played Battletech, no. I never met anyone interested in playing, but I am somewhat familiar with it...

Argus, Bushwacker, Fafnir, Daishi (Dire Wolf), Uziel, Puma (Adder), Osiris, Uller (Kit Fox), Hellbringer (Loki), and Owens are some of my favorite mechs... I like the light mechs in MechWarrior a lot... The Blood Asp is a bad ass looking Mech... Currently working on a Shadowcat.

it was 1:30 am and i couldn't get to sleep because the apartment above us was slowly leaking water through my bedroom ceiling by the door, and this drip was getting louder and louder

so i decided to reroute the water into the living room, but how was i going to do it?

and then i noticed i had ducktape and we had a bunch of drinking straws in the kitchen, so i rigged up an aquaduct(tape) for the water to drip onto and travel down and out of my bedroom and into the living room where it could drip relatively silently

1/25/2011 9:55:59 AM

^ LMFAO!!!! That is indeed badass. GG sir.

1/26/2011 9:37:42 AM

^^ ahahahaha gg!



i didn't make it but it was made for me. a coworker/friend does wood working as a hobby and i have a pretty dangerous knife drawer at home. we both use cutco knives so i traded him 3 table knives and a pearing knife for the block

he stained it to match my cabinets & i can't wait to get it home and put all my knives inside!

ive got something like this (.xlsx file) planned for whenever i finally get a house, because right now it'd be too big/heavy/maybe fragile to try and transport

ive considered making a version that would end up smaller, but that would take a lot of work (in addition to making the thing anyway lol)

This was part of my Halloween costume last year... I built a full size new series TARDIS (or most of it). I still need to build another side and a better roof so I can take it out for some photo shoots at iconic Raleigh locations in the next few months (and hopefully some near campus).

If anyone has a moment I'd kindly ask you to vote for me in the BBC America contest by clicking the like button on my entry page!

haha, that tardis is awesome

2/2/2011 1:49:42 PM

So my coworker and I go to the shooting range and we started a bet. When we are both ready, we setup a target at 25 yards and load up 5 rounds each. The person who's 5 shots are closest to the center of the silhouette wins and the loser pays for the range time that day.

Well, to raise the stakes a little, I made this for the loser to display at work:

niiice.

WOW- I'm impressed!!

Y'all are so talented! I love the paper project, shadowrunner...so creative.

2/5/2011 12:25:43 PM

my friend is going to be on one of the popular floats for Mardi Gras in NOLA.... she has to decorate 30 shoes to pass out, so she recruited some people to help

here is my cupcake shoe! it has sprinkles and everything (and the bottom silver part is supposed to be the wrapper)

2/20/2011 1:09:31 PM

I made this mosaic. I bought the window at a yard sale and then went to town.

2/21/2011 3:00:26 PM

Something to raise the food/water bowls for my dogs. Now they don't have to hunch over to eat/drink. Not bad considering all I had was an 8" handsaw, wood glue, a couple screws, and some sandpaper... A table/miter/circular saw woulda made this project soooo much easier...

2/23/2011 1:00:21 AM

That shoe is ridiculously awesome, Samwise. I love it.

2/23/2011 1:53:18 AM

dunno if these will show up, its a changing table a me and my friend made for my daughters room

^ that's really awesome. Furniture making is something I'd really like to get into one day.

Right now, I have neither the equipment nor the space to put it.

How long have you been making furniture?

2/23/2011 9:12:59 AM

^^ that's awesome

2/23/2011 9:59:38 AM

gg on the furniture making, guys! I love the dark finish on ^^^

Thanks! I'm working on a firework shoe for her right now... Here are some other ones she and our friends have done:

(I did this one, it's not my favorite but it took forever to do those lines by hand... and they added feathers to it)









The peacock one is my favorite (besides my cupcake one, haha)

2/23/2011 10:49:47 AM

that peacock is awesome!

The baby changing table is really impressive, gg

2/23/2011 11:19:09 AM

The changing table took about three weeks to do off and on working in the evenings and weekends. My friend has his own little furniture side business, so he had all the tools and knowhow. I had a lot of fun doing this

2/23/2011 9:11:49 PM
