Ok blimey I've been busy

So the last post was aout the mini tailors dummy to make some maquettes, the jetpack is now finished, not quite as good as I'd hoped but still pretty cool, let me know what you think, yay or nay? :)
Also made the harness too, everything in this picture except the blouse and my beautiful girfriend is made my me
the jepack also has a fire extinguisher in the rocket which fires out powder, using the trigger on the front of the harness, this detaches and can be held at arms length, heres a video of the test for the trigger, I'l upload the final video and images when I have time to take them

spruced up my alarm clock a tad

made this robot a while ago, but never finished it, and recently i bought the alarm clock, so the thought process of putting the clock in the robot, i had my alarm next to my bed on my desk (bad idea) this was too easy to turn it off in the morning so i decided to put it further away so id have to get out of bed, and the corner of my desk i was thinking of putting it in was all filled up by the robot, and then i had a light bulb moment and put the clock in the robots belly :D which not only gave the robot character, it also made me want to finish it instantly, so i painted it red and coloured bits in with a gold paint pen, and altered the belly so the clock would fit in, and here it is :)




just a quick one this week

parceling up my brothers birthday card, thought id make it look pretty too haha :P
cant show you whats inside because its a suprose and i dont want him to accidentally see it... sorry peeps
have a good WOYWW :D

'HOME made' space ranger reporting for duty

Since the news of Toy Story 3 and me having a mini birthday party the weekend just gone, i figured i'd make another costume, and since im into all that spacey stuff i did buzz lightyear. made from one 66cm bell shaped plant pot , a heap of cardboard, bottle tops, spray paint caps, the use of a dremel, hot glue gun and a lick of paint...this is what i managed to do in a few days
 So who knows what il make next, except i do, my next event thats planned is Bloodstock music festival, and il show you what i make for that when is done... as for now, buzz lightyear is enough for me

'HOME made' Skittles Costume

The other day at uni i saw a poster on a wall advertising a party called the 'Anything But Clothes' party ,which set my creativity into motion as it ment that i could make another costume :D woop! on the poster were a few pictures, some people dressed as 'Spongebob Squarepants',  a girl with an Adam and Eve themed outfit, and two guys one had a printed 'Kit-Kat' t-shirt and the other was in a cardboard box costume with 'Yorkie' painted on it, so i thought that food would be a good theme as there is tones of types and it would be funny. At first my friends and i were going to make biscuit costumes, me as a 'Jammy Dodger' but after thought i didn't like the idea and i was on the search for a new idea, still on the food theme, so i thought about the 'Kit-Kat' and 'Yorkie' guys and searched for sweet packaging. Loads of ideas arose but none quite as appealing to me as a bag of 'Skittles'. i went to the shops and bought a bag ...or two :) and began making the costume, after about 12-13 hours i had finished and this is how it looked :D



We got to the party and it was pretty good, everyone in costume. Untill i got there i had no idea that there was a prize for the best costume, and by gum I WON! :D i couldnt believe it, after buying a round of drinks i was presented my prize,(a night for me plus one at a premier inn) i was extatic...imagine how excited i would be if i won the lottery haha :) so this is my 'Skittles' costume. Please let me know what you think in the comments below :)
