Sunday was a washout but I got some modelling done.
It started well on the Rrrumblers Rip Code mock Wheels. I made a pivot for the body.
At last some drivers arrived courtesy of Amazon Prime too.
I reshaped two of them ready for painting.
Then disaster!
My Rip Code body melted in the oven!
I was curing modelling clay. The oven wasn't even on. Just warm from dinner. Too warm as it turned out!
Drat! Double drat!
Back to the drawing board!
Sorry, what a horrible thing to happen. I do hope you can make a Mark II version, and finish the project. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteNo worries Paul thanks. Yep, Mark II is on the cards ... Just much simpler!
DeleteArrgh! Just like Professional life
ReplyDelete-with the clock ticking!
Never mind, you'll do it again,
faster and better, because you now have the pathways established in your brain!
Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
The Modelling adventure is just beginning!
Cheers Looey. The voice of experience! Trial and error all the way at the mo.
DeleteAlmost had a very similar oven disaster, professionally, about 12 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI'd sculpted a small figure in Fimo, the heat hardening putty, and had put it in the oven to cure for half an hour. It was needed on set the following afternoon.
About 20 minutes later I decided to check on it.
Imagine my horror, when I looked, to find the top of its head smoking away.
I had set it to the correct temperature, but on a Grill, not Oven, setting, so the head was overheating.
Thankfully, I had got to it in time and was able to give it another 10 minutes on the Oven setting.
The sculpted hair was singed black, but as the figure's hair was to be painted black, I got away with it.
Phew !
Ha ha, a close shave that Mish! Glad these things happened to pros like you and Looey! Does make me feel better! Ha ha. Which figure was it?
DeleteIt was a Wedding Cake Topper, of model Katie Price, for a comedy show.
ReplyDeleteIt was seen in close up, on a cake, at the start of the scene.
