The current 3D project has to do birds (of course). Here they are ready to be sealed using transparent Powertex to harden the paperclay. I built the armature from wire and foil covered in masking tape then fleshed everything out with the clay. As soon as it's all dry other components can be added. The idea sparked with plastic handles dismantled from an old gaming joystick. The handles looked like minature caps from some sort of mad scientist experiment, all that was needed was a figure underneath. Well, that's an understatement....I'll be adding a number of interesting oddities and paint and such.
 The Tweedle brothers, Dee and Dum, unpainted and wearing their caps. My intention is for them to be fixed together on a base that has as yet to materialize. |  The piece is long from being complete. Things show up for projects like this though, for example someone gave me a bag of gears from an old VCR just this week-perfect timing. |
