A creative pallet-cleansing should help me refocus my hobby-brain. And that means going back to my old favorite and making a spaceship.
Back to my old techniques: pasta for the master shape, impression molding, then dental plaster casting.
I'll clean it up with files tomorrow, then plan to add some extra details/fix air bubble blemishes with epoxy putty. The ultimate goal is to get back to pewter drop-casting.
Once again, very nice! Lately, working on hobby activities is a much needed stress release.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris!
DeleteAgreed, hobby-time is a great stress reliever, especially with the current state of the world.
Not finishing all my other projects, with new techniques, was adding more stress though, so I had to retreat to my comfort zone of spaceship minis. I'm glad I did; I forgot how much fun it is!
Very nicely done! :) I keep thinking about scratchbuilding space ships to complement long dead ranges, or maybe experiment with my own variations on a theme by Lucas. Nice to see someone actually doing it. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSpaceships have always been a passion of mine, so they were the first things I ever tried to scratchbuild. It’s a lot of fun… give it a try!
Will do! It's closely related to things I've scratchbuilt in the past, so I'm sure it will be fun. :)
