 | | Wheelhouse?
|
|
Has anyone made a village wheelhouse (river house)... I'm not quite sure of the name, but I'm sure you know what I mean. How would you guys go about building the paddle wheel? If you have any url's, it would be greatly appreciated. Felix (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.build)

(...) Sculpy and a Wizard cordless dremel tool (and *very* steady hands). If anyone knows someone who has access to a cast molding machine, perhaps we could consider making a mold and producing plastic replicas? Just a thought. -Kyle (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hi all, after about a year of just sitting around, reading everyone else's marvelous stories and ballads, I decided I had to do one too. The pictures for this story were taken with Shiri's digicam when she was here last week. I apologize ahead of (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle.org, lugnet.castle) !!

(...) Just had to go look up "Sculpy", which I presumed (correctly) was a plastic "clay". Nice results. Did you bake it at some point? I noted someone mentioned it paints better when baked. Miniature gamers/gaming magazines (rec.games.miniatures (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Best results are indeed achieved following baking in a normal oven. As another tip, a good plastic solvent (I've mentioned Tenax 7R elsewhere--that's a good one for this) on the end of a Q-tip can be used to eliminate surface cracks and (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Brief How-to. These helmets were quite simple to make, actually. 1) roll your sculpy into a cylinder-shaped clump. Make sure it is wider than a minifig head. Be sure it is well packed together. 2) Bake in an oven for 20-25 min at 275 degrees (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

I've never cast anything myself, but I am aware that their is a number of options for making casting molds at home in a process called 'room temperature vulcanization.' It's very common in modeling, especially with military modelers. I know of one (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

I do wonder what the complete Castle world might really look like. I have read the history and have seen Erik's diagram, but are there any pictures? Does Erik know where Harry Potter lives?? (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

Funny you should mention this! This is my (other) toy-related hobby. I use RTV rubber molds to make parts for custom action figures. I tried it once with the maiden's headdress and was able to make a pour-mold that made a passable replica. Of (...) (24 years ago, 17-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
