Article: Creating Custom Accessories
Hi all,
Here's the article that I've wanted to offer to the C-C community oh so long ago, sorry for taking such a long time!! Anyway, what I've up right now is more of a final draft than a finished version, but I think most of the information that you're looking for is already there. Your inputs/comments will always be appreciated.
And to Kev, would you mind helping me edit it so that its format can be consistent with the rest of the C-C articles? Also, do you want me to email you a soft copy of the files so you can upload it onto the C-C server? Or can you simply download it from your browser? Please email me.
To everyone else: I'm going to keep a low profile for the next few weeks to concentrate on my job for a bit and hopefully some sculpting. So if you need to reach me, please email me instead of leaving me private messages on the forum.
Btw, the article can be seen here:

Thank you for reading.

Thanks for the article. I tried sculpting with a binary epoxy, and I can only say that the stuff became as hard as a rock. Hi-speed dremeling was required, and without layering, getting in the detail was difficult.
I'll run out of my current supply of shields for stickering today (dremel, buffing wheel, and Brasso while watching the Daytona Prototypes race to get off the Islander emblems) and I'll probably give the Sculpey a try since my son has several packs of that sitting around.

Hi Isaac. The level of detail you go to is very immpressive indeed. It makes me appreciate the work you do even more then before! Keep it up. My order will be in soon to help with the financing of trh Viking gear

I am going to try this.
Hi, just how does the resin dry? Does it become rock hard, soft, plasticy like LEGO, ...?
Thanks.
Thanks.
