What do you do professionally that you can do this at work too? It's all I can do to glance at the forum before the technicians arrive in the A.M. and start pestering me...

Beautiful work, man. Just beautiful!

My guess is that he is the binman at a plastics company. 

 

[Rabbitz]

I'm guessing he's a lighthouse keeper who only works day shifts.

Fantastic stuff

Just gone though this entire thread for the first time.
You are one talented bloke.
I have not seen work as good as that unless it's on an architectural model makers bench and a professional sculptor's bench.

[Jinx]

Fantastic work keep it up.

[kippax]

What amazing work you have created thanks for sharing and please hurry up and finish it so we can see

[Andym]

Cheers again for all the encouraging comments guys!

They both look great. How are you going to make enough to go round the column?

I was hoping to be able to make one and then somehow cast it Colin.

Now your just taking the piss  

Cracking work Andy  

Have you tried Pro-create, it's the grey stuff that a lot of sculptors are using now and I've tried it and think its better than green stuff.

cheers

Ive not tried it, but I've just managed to order a shed load of green stuff off of eBay. The Games Workshop sell theirs for £6.15 for one wee strip of the stuff, where as I got 32" worth for £8!!! Now thats a mark up by GW!!

Thanks! I wouldn't want to give away my exact job, you never know who reads these, but most of the time I'm really busy, but I do get days where I've got to wait for other people to do their jobs. Oh, and working alone most days, helps to!

.....and it's diffenatly not these jobs, although who wouldn't want to do those jobs for a living!!

Anyway I've nearly finished with the column, I've just got a wee bit of sculpting to do and I'll do that during my lunch breaks.

I've managed to get a wee bit 'side tracked' and lost my 'train' of thought on the project! Sorry, REALLY bad jokes out of the way, I'm trying something extra for this. I had an idea for a wrecked underground train that's burst through the surface...



I've got a couple of reference drawings/photos to help...





And this is how far I've got....



I've just got part of a bogey/wheels to do then just throw on some rubble and viola.

[Sangennaru]

O.O Wow! You made it wonderfully! Is it clear plastic, right? plasticard or such?

[Faber]

O.O Wow! You made it wonderfully!

ditto 

[Damas]

HOLD IT!   Back up a bit, where the fudge did you get the plastic underground train?!?!

Loving everything so far! 

[Raxxus]

he made it I guess?

[FramFramson]

he made it I guess?

Looks like it. Plasticard over a (foam?) form of some kind.

In that case, I would request details of the build up!

[Steve F]

Another great model.

To borrow a pun from Pat Mills, that's dead London.

[fastolfrus]

The 1959 model is very nice, would look great for a Dalek invasion board, but how about an earlier one? Preferably late Victorian/Edwardian for a HG Wells War of the Worlds setting?

Maybe you could get Jeff Wayne to sponsor the board?
