PERSONALLY THANK YOU CONTINUED...

With all the changes Blogger has made I can only run so many lines to a post or I lose sight of everything and zooming doesnt help. Then I cant update or make changes because the update button is off the screen and hidden. ANYWAYS...WILL Jones deserves a HUGE Thank You for allowing me to make changes to his model and for allowing me to use his measurements to make my masters. Thank you Will. Really...thank you.
Getting back to the beginning...Roboid...Where it all started. Next to all you people who have been gracious enough to support these projects...the next biggest thanks for ALL of this...
Is Bryan Wilkinson. You see...Bryan approached me with a project. Roboid...although that was the name I gave it. And initially...I turned Bryan down. After some continual pressure from him I gave in and eventually I consented and tried casting making the Centaurus my 1st casting project. Thank you Bry. You were key to getting any of these and future figures made. LIERTALLY... Bryan also provided the original figure for both the base Roboid figure but also the base JEAG for the rest of the mini Magno figures. Thank you for continuing to pressure me Bryan and thank you to all of you. I hope I can continue to make figures and more. I have truly come to enjoy casting. And I owe it all to all of you. And it takes care of all my OCD's. :-)

I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE...

While I have been fortunate enough that casting has been truly just an extension of my abilities and years of training (30+)of being a machinist...NONE of what I have made could I have done without help. I owe a debt of thanks to each and every person I am about to list for these past figures. First...Roboid...Im going to come back to this...But Roboid was made with the help of Adam Middleton and Alexis Dyer. I hope Im spelling these right. Adam Middleton supplied the back roller assembly. Alexis is responsible for the card art.
I think he did an awesome job with it. Assigning his signature of Argonaut X to it. This is the back side.
Thank you both for your help. Next is Flight Commander. I would like to thank Michael Jaecks. He sculpted the head for Flight Commander. It is not 3D printed. It needed some tweaking for casting but looks fantastic. Michael did simply an awesome job. Next, also involved in the making of the original Flight Commander is Bryan Wilkinson.
Bryan did the card layout both front and back. And while I do say thank you... Bryans help on this was immense and I downplay the thanks due him. Also due in larger part to Bryan...Sultan is also not happening without Bryans help. Bryan is responsible for both the front and back card design of both Flight Commander AND Sultan. As well as the back of the Card for Overlord.
He 3D modelled the head for Sultan and also the later addition of the missile pack for both figures as well. Overlord has Dave Waugh to thank. Dave is responsible for the card front. Dave is AWESOME!!! An awesome job well worth the commission. Again we come back to Bryan, who as I mentioned did the back of the card. Bryan also 3D modelled the head.
And while I am at...continueing to roll Bryan is also responsible for the 3D modelling of the Deimos head and naming of Deimos.
Next we have Jade and Crimson Warrior. A big thanks once again to Bryan for the missile pack modelling and also Lee Burbridge who also runs Big Man Toys. Lee did the 3D modelling of the head used for both Jade and Crimson Warrior.
Continued in the next post.

No Fancy Tools Here

Originally for the first 5 or 6 thigh casts I dont have to do this. But I cant keep making new molds every 5 or 6 casts. So when a mold rips I might suffer the damage. The thigh molds are very thin at the tips at the knee joint where the rivet goes. so the silicone in the middle of the joint gets ripped out by wear. It doesnt matter how gentle you are. So I suffer the damage and using my jackknife and exacto knife and a hacksaw blade I carve it out. It takes about 45 minutes a thigh for acrylic. And while we are at it, I drill out the hole by hand because it is so hard to clamp these pieces firmly. Using power tools just guarantees disaster at some point without firm clamping. I have more control and less pieces get tossed. I have more callouses too. lol but I end up with a better product.
