Perler Bead Mario

This is another thing at the moment as I cant afford to drink.   These are made from Perler Beads and are super great for creating sprites if you are a tragic nerd and want tragically nerdy fridge magnets.


Crumb Figure


Had a bit of a break from posting as I am half way through two projects. For both I am waiting on components so here is the stage they are up to so far:
 This is a maquette that I have created from dowel and bolts.  This is a pretty successful method i think as the character can move in any direction and hold awkward poses indefinitely as seen in the last picture.
One thing I would change is to substitute dowel for cut metal rods that have the eye already built...Ill have to investigate that I believe that some metal skewers could do the trick but would then require some welding...
It was my original intention to create a Prince William figure but Ive had enough of all that piffle for now so it is now going to be a Robert Crumb figure.  I will probably create a Devil Girl friend for him as I have heaps of bolts left.
Currently waiting on scale clothing ordered from the states...
I gotta say once you delve online into the scale model world it can get pretty weird, some people take 12 inch battle figures a.k.a. 'Battle Barbies' very very seriously




Arcade Machine

Had a bit of a break from posting as I am half way through two projects. For both I am waiting on components so here is the stage they are up to so far:




So at this stage the pc and games are installed and connect to the monitor and I am saving to pay for the controls and the wiring, some $100 worth.  Then it simply a case of cutting and installing the external panels which are fucking heavy and have decided to have them bolted on in case I have to take the thing apart for moving etc.
Glass for the top and fancy graphics for the exterior will be the final, distant requirement.
