BSC 2025 Post 10

 I have not had much time due to real life obligations.  Tonight I had a bit of time to work on my build. 

The back end looked odd hanging out in space without any support and I needed some way for people to access the torso interior.  I decided on building a set of stairs and put a unicycle wheel on a swivel mount behind it.

Picked up some new toys.

 I was perusing Etsy looking at things that have nothing to do with my hobbies, as you do, and found a couple of interesting finds that might work for terrain.  

First are a couple of stamp punches.  They are for metal working and only put me out about seven pounds a piece.  Initially I thought about using them on Foamex. 

Some photos. 

First, I tried it on Foamex.  

As you can see they did not come out so well so I think it will need to be used on either Fimo or some other putty.  

The second thing I picked up is a shot plate.  They are used to make small pieces out of gold/silver for jewelry.  If you are looking to pick one up they will run about twenty pounds for a single item and about ten pounds for each detail past that. 

In this instance I used some green stuff though I could use some lead fishing weights.  Using some vasiline to keep the green stuff from sticking to the mold I just pressed some into the details.  Here are some photos.

 Finished a few more details.  

First is a cage attached to the exterior.  I had some left over photo etched brass fencing from another project to use as the bars.  The bottom comes off so I can paint the crow and can add a few more details.  There is also a plaster cast box fitted to the panel next to it.   

A Hirst arts barrel and another plaster cast box to the other side. 

Some resin and plaster cast sacks to the top of the thorax.

Lastly some photos of the whole thing held together with some blue tack.
