June UFO Sightings in the Workshop

 I've run behind on bloggage again.  While we can't share the main projects we're working on until the non-disclosures run out, what we can share is the scattered collection of UnFinished Objects (UFOs) in the hobby section of the workshop.

First off, after my copy of the Sidon Ithano helmet met an unfortunate end in the midst of unpacking for the Maker Faire a while back, I decided it was time for a re-do.  Here he is in the middle of the painting process:Sidon Ithano Helmet Weathered

On a completely unrelated note, I got to feeling a bit nostalgic the other day when I was reminded of the "Hydro Viper," one of the last figures I bought before I lost interest in G.I. Joes as a kid:

For no particular reason, I decided I needed to make the helmet for those guys.  Here it is in its base color before the details were picked out:

Now I need to talk myself out of making the rest of the costume.  Though an underwater cosplay photoshoot might be fun...

In other news, I came across a 3D model of an Ironman themed Samurai Yoroi helmet (LINK).  So I had to make one:

The Genestealer continues to see steady progress.  That's mostly just because Jeff is stopping by once a week to tinker on the hand sculpting.  Last week he dragged Walter Welsh along to offer some pointers and lend a hand:

I'm also making good progress on the Techpriest costume from Warhammer 40,000.  Here's the printed collar nearly ready to mold:

I'm finishing it up just in time, because Jeff is nearly done with the model for the backpack:

This thing is going to be pretty great:

On the subject of Warhammer 40,000 stuff, I also decided to turn out a few more purity seals:
Purity Seals in Red

So much purity.

We're also revisiting some of the Masters of the Universe stuff we did a while back.  More on that later, but for now, here's the shield of Teela all prepped for paint:

And finally, an updated Statue of Liberty which I printed from this file (LINK) and painted:

Because I needed that.

So that's just a few of the UFOs in the shop at the moment.  There's a bunch of other awesome in progress, so stay tuned...
