DEATH COMES UNEXPECTEDLAAAY!!!
Since the last post I have been recovering from the 'death' of my personal/work computer which had 3 years worth of my artwork/designs/ etc on it... It was hard to make smooth progress.
NOW I have an external hard drive.. wish I did then.
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY
I went on a quest once again to get some things 3d printed. These are my 3d models..
 |
| This is the top ridge piece of the mask. Because it was just not something you could find in the natural world that looked quite right. |
 |
| Here is an accurate rendition at the side pipes on the bane mask. |
After a couple of weeks I got the prints back.. I was pretty disappointed.
 |
| Here is the side pipe.. all the detail got completely shaved off. Material and print method have factors in this process. |
|
|
BUT I have a machinist friend who 'knurled' (now thats a million dollar word) a couple pipes for me which i will fabricate the pipes like I did before.
 |
| This is the front pipe I had 3d printed. |
 |
| Here is a scuplt I did for the front pipe,the print came out pretty crappy and I also found where my digital sculpt lacked and I made up for the problems. |
The ONE piece I was happy with was the ridge piece.. I made a mold of it and cast it out of various materials, rubber and a hardening epoxy putty.
 |
| Here is the sculpt with the epoxy ridge piece resting on top. |
Here is some progress on the back
 |
| the new vs the old. almost done attaching and detailing the piece. |
The back of the mask is ready to be molded and cast in CX5.
Sorry for the wait.. now that I have posted this I will have an easier time posting further progress.
