My 6 inch Strider :)

During the past few weeks I've been playing about with this clay called Super Sculpey, Anyway. A few days ago I created a Mini-Strider about 6 inches tall. Before anyone complains, I porposefully shortened the legs and fattened it all up to look a but more interesting.

Making rubble or a building for a base is beyond my abilty so the scene is a small park, with some random wires, boxes and bushes. ;)

It's not too accurate but I'm fairly pleased with it, I do enjoy looking over at my window shelf and seeing Stridey stalking along. :rolling:



I've got millions of finished and progress piccys on my art site >>>> Mark Evered's Portfolio

Tell me what you think, don't be too harsh though. :cheers:
 
:cheers: Thanks guys, I wasn't sure how it would go down, but you've made my day. :D
 
thats awesome! great job man!
you should do some stop motion animation with it!
btw, good art and stuff on your site, impressive stuff.
 
That is bloody brill...

How long did that piece take you?
 
:O Thanks chaps. Took about 6 hours overall evilsloth.

I'm gonna have a go at one of them airwatch thingymabobs. Gunship thingys. They look great, kind of like a flying lobster. Very cool, but extremely detailed. It's gonna be fun :D
 
You should make the gunship out of actual lobster shells :O
 
Someone else giving props!

Very nice! :) Wasn't expecting something of such beauty heh...
 
lol the name of this thread is funny ... but great work man i was never that good at sculpting clay or whateva
 
I live in Uk and have never seen it in shops, so I got it from THEPOLYMERCLAYPIT (top of page)

It's quite expensive although you'll get loads of use from one block. You can bake it in the oven. :)

Thanks again guys
 
Also, that's a great nickname for it. Personally, mine's the eight-inch General.

Someone just had to say it didn't they!! :sleep:
 
Holy shit that is amazing! Very impressive, great attention to detail. :D
 
My sculpey model just melted out of self pity after seeing that. :(
 


I did loads of the Gunship last night, only got some groundwork and detailing to do. Then it's painty time. :cat:
You can follow it Here
 
You'know...eBay would be a good place to sell these creations of yours...

:p
 
Ever tried working with "green stuff"? I think you'd do quite well sculpting Warhammer-ish stuff.

Love the strider!
Looks like the gunship is comming along nicely too. Be sure to post the finished product and make some more sculptures!

This is my first go at sculpting but I did read into that "Green stuff" stuff, If I remember right I think I was put off by the fact that it's air hardening and (apparantly) VERY difficult to use. I do like the way you can harden super sculpey at will with a heat gun or rub some alcohol in to soften it up. mmmm. I would like to have a go with some "green stuff" though, might be fun. :naughty:


MMmmm Yes.I would love to sell some of this stuff as pretty soon I'm gonna have NO room left to keep it all but I have absolutely NO idea what to price it at. There are no items even remotely similer to these kind of things anywhere (that I can find anyway).

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think that would violate copyrights.

Hehe, in that case it would become a "Sea creature-like Alien War Machine, based loosely on a popular video game..."

:D
 
Just take into account the prices of the materials + cash you'd like to make on it = final price. 60 bucks seems an okay price for HANDMADE (stress that a lot :p) models
 
That strider looks pretty awesome, fo' sho. I'd like to see one owning a few rebels though. Maybe shove a small battery powered LED in the barrel of the gun for the "Just toasted some rebels" look.
 
Thanks guys :)

Gunship tis done, GUNSHIP

It might not be perfect but I'm proud of it. I got completely stumped on making the propeller bit at the back so I left it out and added some interesting sea below to give it a bit of movement.

As I was away, I had no possible way of getting any pics or anything so I made some Zombies from memory, HERE .
O yes, and a tiny Lamarr (how DO you spell that?) enjoying a watermelon.
 
Noob question: Does anyone know if all the eBays are interlinked? So if I put something on the Uk ebay it would show up on the us? I assume it does, but I thought it would be better to check.
 
Those are great, man. Loving the other stuff on your site too, esp. the Futurscape. I did a GCSE art piece in Landscape with elements from futuristic architecture, so I can relate to that.. somewhat.

Andy McNab and Chris Ryan books, too. :thumbs:

Because it's practically the exact same technique :p (minus the texture stuff he does)

Not that it's a bad thing, it obviously works damn well for him :)
