Video from the Maker Faire

I did an interview about some of my build processes at the Maker Faire back in May. The video finally posted to Youtube the other day.  They've got me explaining the steps that went into building the weapons, but what's really great is the opening sequence.  Enjoy.

Everybody in costume really looked great, but I can't help thinking I kinda sound like an idiot. Nice to finally see the video.

Isaac Clarke's Engineering RIG Costume

A while back I posted about building the helmet for Isaac Clarke's engineering RIG from Dead Space 2

Here's the end result:

For details on how I made it (and a few better pictures), read on.

Now Available: Combat Garden Gnomes with Grenades

First off, here's a picture of the finished sculpt next to the standing and kneeling versions:

As usual, the original sculpt did not survive the molding process:


I don't have any painted ones just yet, but when I do I'll be posting them up as well.

If you'd like an unpainted one, I've got some up in my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/thorssoli

Stay tuned...
