Hungy & Light Cover

So I actually have a pretty good casting of the LED cover, and it’s been epoxied into place:

Since we’re trying to diffuse the light back onto the fish and out, I went for a translucent instead of transparent effect; the casting will get a blue-tinted heavy gloss clear-coat, and the whole thing will be gloss-coated.

As soon as the epoxy is dry, I’ll do a final check on the LED then start silver base coats with blue & purple washes, and perhaps an inkwash to bring out some of the surface details.  More pics (including lit up shot) and paint to follow.

ah the joys of a new system…

not that my old computer was bad or anything (cept the power supply, that bastard couldn’t be trusted) but getting on 4 years old, it’s time for an upgrade.  Oh, and what an upgrade – worstbuy had dell quadcores on sale and I got a core2 quad w/ 6gb of ram.  Ordered a new video card as well, but that’s not going to be in for a bit…. anywho, for those who’ve been wondering where the 3d stuff is, it’s gonna be on the way soon!

Thanks to my beautiful wife for indulging my techno-fetishes!!

Also known as the north american thunder chicken, this sculpt has a story behind it. I’m building a whole arsenal of accessories for him, going for an army-surplus-after-the-bomb kind of look here, while at the same time looking for something to evoke the lone cowboy on the desolate plain… we’ll see what I end up with.
