Ahem...consider this thread to be under the watchful eye of myself; and I'm sure my most astute colleague, Adonian, will assist me in making sure that you do NOT slack off.

Consider yourself warned.

u might think about going to target/walmart and grabbing a few cheap plastic trashcans too... Adonian, Ordeyn and Myself are all building out of trashcans and they usually turn out well if u're willing to stick it out through the heating, and shaping, and cooling... and possibly repeat. I would NOT try to make the gaunts or bu'cuy out of trashcan tho... the plastic's a lil bit too tough to do it easily.

Ok you know how i said i had to kick myself in the butt to get myself going?
Apperently it only gets me going for one step :( So Im going to have to kick myself real hard to get those templates cut out and put together :lol:

Man my buts going to be sore by the end of this :wacko :lol:
 
:lol:lol::lol:

I can get Adonian and his laserwhip. works FAR better than a kick. :p

And, as Kal'ika said, trashcans are a great way to go. Also, storage bins works really well. ONE END did his gear out of them and it turned out REALLY nice. :)
 
Ok ill have to look into that
*ouch*

*ouch*

I've been searchin threads that I havent seen, and lo and behold my name pops up again :lol: .
And did someone mention a laserwhip?

Lemme just warm it up a bit... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz HHHMMmmmmmmmmmm.

Yup, nice and warm :D

Anyway... yeah, the easy way to start is to get trash cans from wal*mart and trace your pattern with a sharpie, then dremmel them out, but be careful, molten plastic is gonna fly... also go slowly or you may damage your plates.
