Dressing the guy with a Magic Sculp coat

September 10 2009 | The final ball turret gunner

In the end that how he looks like (well i have been sanding him a bit more thoroughly than that.

I have been using some Green stuff for the helmet and some of the pockets.

September 11 2009 | Circular cutter

Owning that circular cutter is one really great thing when you have rounds to cut (obviously)

September 11 2009 | The support of the Ball Turret

Now of course what i want to model is the support for the ball turret as shown in this picture (my apologizes to the real picture taker whose name or reference is forever lost to me)

September 11 2009 | 3 different circles

So i started by doing the circles that will end up around the Ball Turret. I had done some in photoetch but those were way too thin.

September 11 2009 | Vacuforming the sides

That's the most stupid way i found yet to vacuform something: I put one of my balls on my Iron holder and pressed the heated plastic against it this way! Well, it worked tremensously well

September 11 2009 | The sides of the ball turret are done

It worked :)

September 11 2009 | Assembling the base

So now you can see how it is after some extra supports done out of Magic Sculp and a bitb of extra photoetch.
