Snapped!

September 22, 2006 on 9:00 pm | In Models

With a combination of less-than-stellar quality of my rotary tool and my abusive treatment of it, the flex shaft snapped into halves. The shaft was enclosed in a plastic hose protected by springs on the outside, but I was running it for too long and the hose melted :( I don’t know if I find a replacement for it. Just when I was getting the hang of it, yikes…

At long last… Cammy

I picked some stone shards from the neighborhood and sifted through to get the right sized debris for the ground work. I created the dust “splash” with celluclay originally, but it has its limitations and the outcome looks like peeled banana skin :) Then I plastered some Mori2 on top to create more spikes, which works better but still not convincing. I think putting on some grey-dyed cotton would do the trick, but since I don’t have any, I decided to look into what the vaccum cleaner can offer in terms of dust :D It’s actually very convincing, with the carpet fiber mixed with with pieces of larger “debris”, with one issue – hair :green:. I had to pull a lot of hair out of these clumps of dust balls since they give the whole thing away :P Then spray on some light mist of greys and it’s done. The final version should look better when the greys are not all mushed up.

Still a number of final touch ups to go, hang on and don’t go work on those Gunpla now Cody :green:
