Miku with Whale 3
Miku can now ride on her toy whale. I have cast Miku’s whale in white bronze. This alloy looks like silver and I can use this to have a silvery white bottom on the whale. The top half of the whale will be coated with a black enamel when I do the final finish for […]
Miku with Whale 2
Miku is now in bronze. I have completed the casting and assembly of Miku. She is not yet polished or completely finished but I am pleased to have her all put together. Soldering or brazing heavy pieces of metal is always a challenge. The metal needs to get red hot; hot enough for the solder […]
Miku with Whale 1
I’m casting Hatsune Miku in her swimsuit riding on a toy killer whale. People will recognize this figure and this will hopefully generate some interest and conversation. This is a one-of-a-kind sculpture that I am looking forward to showcasing at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. On the other hand, this figurine going to be […]
2D Vortex Dynamics
I had to try this … Mouse scroll to zoom the object. Click and drag to rotate the object. Double-click to show/hide the animation controls. Ref. Evgeny Demidov
Andromeda Ascendant 2
I cast my two copies of Andromeda Ascendant today. This was an experiment to see how well the ABS material burned out. I couldn’t be sure that some ash might be left in the model. So, to make sure that the molten metal would flow, I thought to cast these with a 482 C final […]
Star Wars – R2D2 and Yoda
Today I cast R2D2 and Yoda from Star Wars. Both these figurines are fairly small. Yoda is only 5.5 cm tall and R2D2 is smaller at 4.5 cm tall. Each figure weight about 115 grams. Yoda is cast whole in silicon bronze, with a white bronze light saber. R2D2 is cast in white bronze with […]
Andromeda Ascendant 1
I am casting a version of the Andromeda Ascendant spaceship from a simple 3D printed model. The Andromeda show is once again on TV and I thought it would be interesting to have a bronze cast version of the spaceship available for my upcoming show at the Calgary Expo. The 3D model is called “Orion […]
Casting Orchids
I am casting a couple of orchids for an experiment. Last week I picked up a small orchid plant at the grocery store and told the clerk I was going to kill it. When she seemed upset at the thought that I was buying an orchid just to destroy it, I explained that I was […]
Bronze Hummingbird – Complete
Folks, today I completed my bronze hummingbird. If you remember I was casting him at the time as I was making Alice’s Adventures. You can see the hummingbird in my casting picture below, and at the time I suggested that it was a bit of nonsense. I have actually cast a few of these hummingbirds […]
