Making Of Heating System Part II (Making of Fence)

So here comes the making of the fence.

Starting things off by build the two basic frames. The top one and the bottom one:

Then on each frame, drill .65mm (.025") big hole for the rod:

Then insert few rods for test fit:

Fill up all holes with diameter of .64mm styrene rods:

And finally, finish up the rest:

HOWEVER, I totally miscalculated the height of the heating system. The heating system ended up some what too tall IMO. Might going back and fix it (by cutting one side off and replace it...) later on if the scale is off horribly.

I call this some what epic fail. This is a lesson learned for me, still a long way for me to go.

Next, off to the pipe and the power supply.

Making Of Seats and Heating System Part I (Byousoku Update #4)

We now return to regularly scheduled program.

Photobucket

Here is the close up pictures of the chairs:

Photobucket

It involves four steps:
First step is just making the seat.
Second step is making the back.
Third step is use design knife and dremel tool to sculpt in to the shape.
Last step is use sand paper and sand it in to the shape I want.

Now thinking whether I should just cast the prototype one eight time or make three more of chairs...

And the progress of the heating system:

Increased the thickness of the tube by 2mm by using epoxy putty and basic putty, the power box is made of Styrene sheet.

After some sanding, here we are:

Now off to the fence around the heating system.

So, How Would You Like To Be Introduced As?

Been wondering few things recently so didn't really get much stuff done.

Was having a chat with my friend the other day on the topic of how would you like to be introduced. So it really got me in to wonder, what kind of person do I really want to be?

Everybody is unique, therefore everybody has things they really want to do. But the reality is different, there are things that what would you like to do and what you have to do for everyone. For most people, they have conflict answers for it. There are things that we all like to do, but there are also things that if we don't do it, we might not survive. But what if what you like to do is what you have to do... what if...


The current Yami:

"This is Yami, he is a programmer"

Wait a minute, a programmer... Everybody is a programmer...

But what if... :

"This is Yami. He runs Studio Reveus at (some place) for custom figure sculpting."

There, doesn't that sound alot interesting?


Life is too short to be wasted, be what you want to be, not what they want you to be.

Making Of Windows (Update #3)

Spent some quality hours today on the windows, managed to finish 3 out of the 4 frames. The windows is built of 3 sections, back and front front frame, the middle one is a piece of clear plastic, which will be used as window glass.

Starting things off, here are the materials:

The frame is build out of 1.5 X 1.5mm and 1.0mm X 1.0mm strips.

Photobucket


Starting with the small window, use the 1.5mm strip to build the middle frame and use 1.0mm to divide up the frame.

Photobucket


Then place it in to the window section and finish it up the other half.

Photobucket

Then use this frame as the guide and build another frame, this will finish build front and back frame. Then cut out one of those baseball card collection protectors and use it as the glass.


Photobucket



Test fit.

Same thing for the other window, except the size is larger.

And here we are:
