Eden Commission Part Two: Finished!

I finally finished the next round of Post Apoc circus terrain. The client was well chuffed. It's awesome to get great feedback, especially knowing now that he would have been prepared to pay more *shifty eyes*

The tank was a bit of a bitch to get right. This ended up being the third attempt to get the water effect right (you can see the first attempt in the previous post). I had to switch resins as the one I was using (Easy Cast clear, which turned out neither clear nor easy to use) needed to be degassed to work properly. Of course I wasn't given this advice on purchase, so after trying some tricks with the second attempt which left it WORSE, I switched up to using a polyester resin. Possibly the most vile smelling substance on earth. That worked out well though, and I still have HEAPS left over (Here's looking at you, rooftop swimming pool for Pulp City).

Justin the client has plans for more stuff later in the year, some pretty exciting ideas such as a funhouse/ghost train and a roller-coaster. Should be fun to do. Anyway pics!

 

The Circus is back in town!

So after WAY too long I have finally nearly finished some new pieces for Justin Circus table. A few months ago he e-mailed me about expanding his circus table from 2x2 to a 4x4 set up. I worked up three more boards and a bunch of other stuff.

This time instead lots of fixed pieces he wanted a more free floating scatter terrain. We decided to push to post-apoc a bit further so that meant lots of barrels, tire piles, chain link and RUST. I added the broken road piece atop the cliff face for the same reason.

He was dead set on the dunk tank idea I had when I finished the last board, and I am mostly happy with how it turned out. The resin did some strange things but I think it lends itself to the toxic nature of the environment so I warmed to the less than perfect nature of the water. I still have to finish off weathering the mirrors and finish building the sideshow toady, but should wrap it by this evening. Finished pics of those pieces when they're done, for now, one MILLION pics (well 43)
