Armley prison

Tom is curently doing a project for armly prisons visitor center as part of his PPD, i have started crewing for him, filming, sound recording ect while he interviews.


REPLICATORS

Ironically im replicating replicators.

From Wikipedia:

"In the science fiction series Stargate SG-1, the Replicators are self-replicating machines that seek to convert all civilizations into more of themselves, thus posing a dire threat to all other beings. They were first mentioned indirectly in the season 3 episode "Fair Game", and first seen onscreen in "Nemesis". The Replicators are primarily the enemies of the Asgard race, but Earth must also contend with them on several occasions. The Asurans of Stargate Atlantis are also called Replicators, due to their relationship and similarities to the race on SG-1."

i have made the clay block and when the mold is finished tonight, i will create one in each material i have the option of using to test how long and well each one casts and how easy it is to paint each when there finished.

Second life

Recently i have built a little "backlot" in SL, mainly to test out shots for my FMP but also so i can work of some machinima for my PPD.







Next weapon

This is a common design for a rocket-launcher, this is to make sure the scene seems military and not just sci-fi. After this is completed i will only be making relevant models. I am also figuring out how to make the rest of the props an have lots of experiments on the go with different materials that are setting in casts in the workshops.
