Boushh Helmet

Boushh Helmet update, finally lol. Fiberglassed the inside and its looking really good, I have learned from my previous mistakes it seems, lol, and I am really excited about getting this to the point where I can start applying bondo and painting! :D I'm also going to look into seeing if there is a way to make the light effects for the helmets upper visor. I have done a fair amount of messing around with LED's and such so I'm sure I can find some way of making it look cool if not accurate. :D Sorry no pictures yet, was going to take some today but came down with a nasty case of the flu bug, so going to lay low for a day or so. Guess I had too much birthday fun lol.

Zam Wesell Blaster

Hey everyone, had some fun making the paper naboo pistol and figured I had learned some lessons and could do a paper weapon better now so I decided to try Zam Wesell's (a bounty hunter from the new star wars movies) pistol. Here is a picture that shows some of what I have been working on. The reference picture I got from google images and scaled it up to approximate size and printed it out. I have been using it to get some basic measurements and as you can see in the middle of the picture I have the pistol's handle and a piece right above it done, well the basic shapes without the grip detail at least. :D On the left you can see I have made a duplicate of uncut pieces so that once I am done I can upload it on here for people to download and try. :D Hope everyone enjoys the pics and should have some updates on my older projects soon. I have been pretty lazy on them but I am just about to go out into the garage and paint coats of resin on my boba fett gauntlets, Boushh helmet and my RC chest armor so wish me luck and cross your fingers lol. Will post some pics of them either tomorrow or when I get home this weekend. My fiance is taking me to Disneyland for my birthday on Friday so no posts then lol, woot! hehe. Hope everyone is doing good and check back soon for hopefully lots of updates heh. :)

Naboo Blaster...sort of?

Hey everyone, wanted to do something new tonight so I started from scratch with some card stock and made Queen Amidalas blaster, I think it came out pretty good for a "one night throw together", the only parts I couldn't get right was the part right behind the barrel and the part at the very back of the pistol, it was too rounded for paper folding, or for my skills at least lol. Anyways here's a picture of the holdout version from google images and two pictures of the one I made. Not sure anyone would be interested in this but I did make two of everything when I was cutting out pieces so I am going to try to put a template together and post the files up here if anyone would want to give it a go. Probably will need alot of finessing and some trimming to get everything to fit right hehe. Anyways, I had alot of fun with it which is what matters right? lol

Another Fun Model

Heyas everyone, heres another fun model I just finished, this ones for my sister lol. She loves Penguins.....alot lol. Hope you all enjoy the pics. :D

Ohh and this is another model from the cannon website, let me know if anyone would like the link to this one also. :D

Sea Turtle

Heyas everyone, just thought I would post a fun project I did tonight. My mom loves Sea Turtles ever since she first saw them in Hawaii. I found this cool little guy on the cannon website and went ahead and made it for her. :D

Hope everyone enjoys the pics, shoot me an email if anyone would like the link to where they can find this project. :D Hope everyone is doing good and hope to have some updates on a few projects real soon! :D

Desk Addition Done!

Whew, lol for something that I was just trying to throw together roughly and quickly it sure did take me awhile lol. Been pretty busy this week, just glad to have it done and ready to get back to the paper crafts. :D The portion I built is the black addition sitting on top of the desk that is already there. I just made it out of fiberboard and used a thinner piece for the back and the paper holder shelves on the right. As I just said, I made a compartment on the right that I can put the uncut and non folded/glued pieces of projects/paper on the 4 shelfs. I have a section to store all my paper behind those shelves as well as some space up front for additional storage. I decided towards the end to go ahead and add the cubbie type space on the left to store my exacto knife and blades as well as various other junk lol. Loving it so far, I have my computer at eye level now, a new lamp with magnifying glass for small projects, really looking forward to putting it to use! Not the greatest built project or best looking, but its very sturdy and very functional which is what I was looking for. :D Hope everyone enjoys checking out the pics. :D

Update on Sulpture

Hey everyone, haven't really done much of anything on this but figured I would post what I have done! :D I went ahead and made a wire frame to mold the clay onto and have started on the feet some, its just a rough first attempt remember lol, feel free to critique and criticize as well as any advice, which is always much appreciated! heh :D Here is the original post if anyone would like to check that out as well. :D http://joesprops.blogspot.com/2009/03/yet-another-new-project.html Enjoy the pictures :D
