fun with Siligum

ok, not a great picture, but here you go...

some Timelord wall decoration courtesy of Siligum - a fun instant molding stuff recommended to me by Germy over on Frothers... very useful stuff, even if these tests haven't been 100% successful - the face on the right on isn't well defined and the the tween collar bits on the left one aren't level even though the face is spot on, but this could be down to using g/s for the pressmold... come the new year I'll try with some other stuff to see what's what, but it could ultimately be the depth of the mold that's causing the problem which is fine... I bought this stuff to do the books for the shelves of the library, this was just a bit of fun and I can redesign it easily enough... probably will now I've had a play... was an interesting learning curve...

partly why I've gone for a Tomb of Rassilon effect is this diorama I stumbled on while looking for reference pics a while ago... I think his quoted scales are a bit out (20mm and 1/50 doesn't sound right) and any statue to Omega wouldn't show him in his antimatter universe armour, but I do like it...

the library at Cthluedo Mansion part 1

December has been mostly tiling the floor for my part of the Salute 2011 game, the library...

Not very exciting to look at I admit, but quite time consuming... also experiment with some small scale pressmolding, the results of which I will hopefully manage to show before Christmas... the main need for that is also the library (42 units of 3-4 shelves equals a fecking lot of books), however my experiments are with something very very Who-ish which should also prove useful in time...
