Mason's Parawing Gliders. (BSC 2017) Last picture of castings before painting...

[Mason]

Looking good. Just need to sculpt fur on his face and arms?

 

No fur on this fella.
 

This would go well with a certain tribe of hooded sci fi desert-dwelling 'gentlemen'....

Or even to keep an eye on them.....

That too

I have almost finished the pilot, which will be easy to swap out to put in another figure if that is preferred.

Moving right along there Paul! Nice mix of skills on display.

I have read this thread a couple of times at work where I cannot see the pics so have only just caught up.  Splendid progress but I did expect something a lot more organic with all the chat about ewoks.

Scoring brass? Man did invent the saw you know.

[Mason]

Thanks, chaps.
 

This is more about a challenge to combine scratchbuilding with making something castable to me.
I have not got the time at the moment to go to town and build something bigger or the 'need' for anything to justify doing so, it is more an attempt at making something that I have not done before using materials that I have readily available.

As for more organic, in the Ewok vein, I may well attempt that one whilst I await the return of this contraption from the caster.
I may will stick to the same build plan and chuck that in a later mould.

And regarding not using a saw: I would not have gotten as clean a line with a hand saw given that I do not have the steadiest hands around. The 'score and snap' gave me a nice clean break, even if it was a little tedious.

Need?!?  What's need got to do with? I've got a flying hotel!

Ah, but you have a use for that in your MC-1 shenanigans.
 

There is a large landing pad that I want to build for my own Sci-Fi setting, Outland, that would have have fit into the theme, but I do not have the time at the moment to build that.

I hope to get on to that and the rest of the scenery for the setting later on in the year.
Hopefully.....

It's coming along very nicely Paul. 

[AKULA]

That parawise looks really slick, like something you might see being advertised on TV

Can you make a 1:1 scale one now Paul?

Thanks, Steve.
it aint a dragon but it suits my purposes.

I think I will need to get myself one of those IKEA wardrobes of yours.
 

[Mason]

Well, I have pretty much finished.
I have made the connecting section to attach the pilot to the wing and finished the pilot off too.

Here is a quick shot of the pilot....



(B+W piccie as I can never take a decent shot of green stuff...)

I just need to pop him off of the cork, sort the soles of his boots out and then I will blu-tac the whole thing together for a final preview shot before it goes off for casting.

[Vanvlak]

I like this one 

[Romark]

That pilot looks great

[AKULA]

Wish I had your putty skills
