Oathkeeper, Oblivion, Bondo, yo.

Heya.

Way cold this morning. No new pics, I know. But we're at that stage where they don't seem to fluctuate much. They're gray.

I'm aiming at nit-picking and odd construction bits this week, like the crown charm for Oblivion and bodyworking the charm for Oathkeeper. I always hate this part- working on a charm that requires a braid instead of chain, because it means the braid has to built into the charm. This also means that the braid must be protected from glue, bondo, primer, and then paint. :)

After some weekend travel it'll be back to the shop to paint! That's the plan. Thanks to everyone who's been interested in this project. And as requested- I'll post more in progress pics, even if it's just 'Oh, look! Bondo!' moments on the photostream. :) If there's a part of the processes or something specific you want to see let me know, and I'll work it in.

And to those of you who are backing up my inbox with requests- Thank you! I'll get to you as soon as I can. I'll have a block of time tonight where I can get to your requests and sort some of them out.

That's it for now! Someone has to turn on that heater out there. That'd be me. Be good to you.

Looking Beyond Keyblades and Bondo

Friday, September 24, 2010

Heya! Coffee's ready! Here are the first run bodywork pics of Oathkeeper and Oblivion. I really hate to start this part, because they're as ugly as they're ever going to be right now. But from here on they only get better, and I am beginning to see the end of the project.

As ever, I'm to that stage where I hate them a little, but very shortly, as they shape up rapidly, I'll be sorry it's about to end. Funny.

You all sure are keeping me busy with your requests! Lots of folks looking way ahead for this year! Time for that coffee, and some more sanding. :)
Be good to you.
