I'm your biggest fan...

I despair at myself sometimes...
I start out making a little face for a model I'm working on and I turn out this horror...

To achieve this level of unease first strike a mold from an Action Man's (G.I. Joe) face using silicone sealant....
Press Femo into the mold, remove and bake...
Dremel the eye sockets out then paint the face white...
Add the facial detail (badly)...
Then cut a pair of eyes from a magazine picture of your favourite celeb and glue them, upside down, to the rear of the face...
Put it in an envelope and post it to your chosen celeb with a note saying 'I'm your biggest fan'...
Wait for the restraining order to turn up...

The Steampunk Cardboard Box....

In answer to that oft asked question "how do I "steampunk" my (insert choice of techno-crap here)".
I present the The Steampunk Cardboard Box...!
Select your piece of techno-crap and place the Steampunk Cardboard Box over it...
Hey presto...! It's steampunked...

First select your cardboard box. Then glue external strengthening around the edges...

Bake up some Femo 'rivets' then glue then around the external strengthening (I also added some Femo sconces at this stage....)

Spray, or paint, the box over with a dilute wood-glue solution then cover all over with a dry mortar mix. Repeat as necessary...

Spray, or paint, the box with matt black paint. Allow to dry. Apply a burnt sienna wash...
There you have it...
