Are you going to be sending the clay model off to be cast in PVC once it's finished? That would be quite lovely.

super sculpey, whatever that is. I just order the grey firmer one, cause this stuff is worse than playdo.

anyways, got started on the left thigh and right leg.

the left leg was baked, and is ready to be carved now. it'll have to wait till I finish, with my heavy Metal submission

Crud, you're entering? Well... I'll just have to beat you.

Fantastic work on your botty, looks very cool. Not particularly fond of the curl pattern on his leg, though. 4.8/5

the curl pattern will be carved down to a bevel... but yeah this is a really old robot so hi has little embroideries that you would normally see on a steam engine.

and I might be enterin' but I aint eligible

Ah right, okay. Yeah, I have nothing against actually having little curls. I just didn't think it looked neat, but you've explained that you're gunna carve it down, so I'll see what happens. Looking forward to seeing your entry to the comp.

hey mindchamber, i just got a munny and i want to add on to it like arms and hands and other features, what kind of clay should i use that will mold easily and harden pretty well so i can paint on it and such, and where could i buy it

Looks very good!lol.
Although I think the legs are the easy part.
the head could be a pain in the ass.
Also,can't wait to see the finished one.
A mind chamber figure that finally isnt flattened on a screen or a piece of paper.=]

Its looking pretty fucking sexy so far.
I can't wait to see this finished.
I'm wet with anticipation.

I used this for the legs and arms.
Sculpey

but I was told to get the pro stuff for the chest and head since the details need to be more intricate.

Firm Clay

good stuff... i like the pistons on his calfs ... didnt think you could replicate those so well in clay.

Are you going to use actual metal pieces at all? i vaguely remember senti's steampunk munny had like little springs or something...

i was told by my friend who does ceramics kind of stuff, and he recommended using Primo, which hardens to like a plastic and doesn't shrink in baking, and it comes in colors, so i can mix it to the same color as the munny (like a pastel pink, bought it that way, i'm using that color). Have you used Primo? Just wondering if that would work, because then i can just make it the same color.

will it be on sale in the store? like copies?

that would be the best thing you could possibly do to gain profits and fans.

Umm? Yeah you can just on the photocopier and sell em....

It looks so badass now, when you do finally paint it, when its done, it will be the one sculpture to rule them all xD

That shit looks pretty bad ass can't wait to see it finished.!

Thats gonna be a pain in this ass to make with LED's and all but ur doing awesome !!

Wow nice work, Mindchamber. Say, are you going to put that in the NG office when it's finished or are you going to keep it?

Thanks... I bought a bionicle kit for the joints, and have found some other pieces to be really useful.

like the pistons they have, have avery strong suction and hold alot of weight, so now Im replacing the pistons on the thighs with the ones from the kit. whats cool is now not only does it actually work, but it will actually hold up the robots waist as well.

theres also some tubing and other pieces that work really well with my robot.

damn thats insane... the pistons look like they were made for him.

It looks great so far

that looks sick so far, i would integrate those pistons into the final design somehow, they look really badass

and i just picked up some Fimo so i'll get to start on my munny, when it's finished you should take a look, i love the feedback

can't wait to see mindchamber finished

same here good luck with your munny.

thanks, i'll probably need it, haven't sculpted or anything in awhile, i posted up a sketch of what i plan on doing in my thread if you want to see what i aim to do

if you could find some way to mass produce those, i would by one for 50+ bux!!! if i had any money at all...

but still, from what i see, its goot be one tough bitch to put together! but when its finished.....

that is already looking AWSOME

God, I love viewing your updates.

I can't wait until we get see the final stages of completion :D

God, that thing is going to look fuckin' sweet!

the legs are all connected and fully poseable..
aside from some serious sanding and details to be added, its basically done.

Starting on the torso and chest.. very early..

Excellent work mate.
I love how you used those pistons from the other set.
Can't wait to see the end product.

I have pretty much never sculpted properly myself. If I were to make a leg, arm or any limb how should I start - in a very basic way? Like If I had all the clay and tools, where should I start?

Thanks for any advice you may give.

Im kinda the last person to ask really haha. this is basically my first real attempt. (the muny wasn't as big) basically from what Ive read online, you need to start with a wireframe pad it out then start layering clay over it till you get the desired effect.
theres great tutorials on this site,

This is coming out amazing! You make it sound and look piss easy, but i doubt it is. I´d like to sculpt something one day but i don´t know where to get all this special clay and stuff.
