Nothing fancy... just a quick update so I'm not deluging a single post with a boat-load of pics.
Gotta keep you lot coming back, yeh? LOL
First, some before and after.
The first pic was the original forearm (as printed) straight out of the pattern in the Pepakura pdo file.
Notice how the top area near the crook of my elbow seems like it might split apart at any moment?
It did.
I flexed my arm. /sigh
So obviously it wasn't going to work at that size... expecially considering these parts are the 'Upper Forearm' pieces and see the rounded area near the bend at the elbow?
That's where the rounded pod of the Upper Arm (Bicep) piece will articulate.
The hinge is AT the elbow... so the smaller piece simply would need to be bigger.
So I scaled the forearm pieces up - keeping the same scale for both upper and lower forearm pieces and the bicep pieces.
The larger unit (pic #2) seemed okay... but I honestly felt (perception-wise) that it was too big.
Appearances can - as they say - be deceiving.
My hand ft through fine and when I slid it up my arm, it went to where it was supposed to and fit well enough that I should be able to slide it up over my elbow joint unit.
And my progress so far:
Two upper forearms, two lower forearms, two elbows, two hand plates, a bicep and two palms (back and front).
All have two outer coats of resin and will receive an inner resin coat in a day or so.
Oh... and the chest:
=)
