    No doodles this post, but I thought I'd share the armature stand I built last night. I trimmed down the 1/4" rod to fit the base better after I took this pic.

    [​IMG]

    After it was ready to go, I put it to work. The secret Kaiju project is now occupying the stand. More info on that in the coming months ;)

    Thanks! I got more work done on it last night. I don't think I'll be able to share many WIP pics, but I'll show what I can along the way :)

    Re: Troy Stith's Customs & Doodles 12/9/11

    Thanks man! For customs I use aves anymore. I don't like dealing with the heat issue for customs. Originals I'll use ss though since it gives me more time.


    I decided to go ahead and finish this one up tonight. I wanted to get it off the to-do list finally!

    I plan on cleaning it up with some sanding, then potentially casting it. I also plan on writing up a background and doing more customs of this nature. Since the name has come up more than once and it seems to fit well, this one is now known as "Bio-Buildman" ;)

    Re: Troy Stith's Customs & Doodles *GARAMANIACAL WIP 12/19/11*

    Here's the start of my custom I'm doing for GARAMANIACAL. I'll be keeping in the spirit of Garamon, but putting my own spin on it.

    ooh, maybe it's a parasite?

    about the bio-buildmen, are they being cast in resin or pvc? if resin, will they hold up to the stress of changing parts?

    Haha only time will tell!!! ;)


    Thanks dude! more pics soon.

    They'll be resin. I'm working on a couple methods to ensure that the parts can be changed and articulated with no problems. I'll be doing some test casts soon.

    I hope everyone had a great holiday! My gf got me set up with some Monster Kolor that I can't wait to put to use.

    Just about done with the back, then I can move onto the legs and details on the front. Those should go a lot faster then the back did.

    Re: Troy Stith's Customs & Doodles *GARAMANIACAL WIP 1/24/12*

    I pretty much wrapped up the Garamon custom last night, just need to tweak a few more things and he'll be ready for paint. I decided to save the full reveal once I get some paints on him. Until then, here's a small teaser of what's to come.
