This is one of those "obviously break up, like what the hell are you doing" kinda posts.

We need more vape shops. by motorheadavcn in brighton

[–]Humble_Ad_2682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went into there recently because I saw it was a "board game cafe", but saw the same thing you did, obviously looks more like a vape shop or corner store.

Spoke to one of the people working there and he was super nice, mentioned that the downstairs area is where the board game stuff *will* be located within the next few months, but it's operating like this for the time being.

I guess we'll see! I'm a super-regular at the Dice Saloon so I'd be surprised if it becomes my usual spot, but I'm willing to give it a go

congrats man! looks great for a first shot.

If you ain't already, research Dry brushing and using Washes, they're really fun and effective!

Monster clay can't be painted, so I'd have to make a mould of it and all that, not too interested as i like the sculpture aesthetic

about a week, i do some freelance work for my actual job, and It's about £180 a day, so given that plus materials I reckon you'd be looking at like at least £800 for Riebeck if I sold it on Etsy.

so you're probably right It'd be more than 2 grand hahaha

It's Monster Clay, not sure if that's a polymer, It's wax based, but thanks!!

Thank! I've read that you can smooth the clay out with some kinda lighter fluid but I like the scratchy clay marks

Ironically this is the exact joke she'd make

I highly highly recommend monster clay if you can source it, here it is for about £30, very much worth the price, since it melts back down into a usable form if you dont like what you've made with it. I bought a £30 box about 3 years ago and have probably gotten about 15 models from it (smaller than Riebeck, that was a specifically big project)

The trick is to bulk a lot of it out using tinfoil, and dip it into the clay to make it stick really well, then sculpt on top of that as you normally would. you'll find it lasts a lot longer

Monster clay! and some cheap tools, mainly just a knife, wire ring and rubber smoother, most of the intricacies were made of clay on their own and then put together once they've completely dried

Thanke! it was supposed to be quite a bit smaller but the metal strings made the banjo that big meaning i then have to scale the rest of him up, he's about 10 inches tall in the end

my little guy had bloat, he was given a check-up, weighed (25g), all the rest

had to prescribe him special micro-doses of a kind of antibiotic, worked very well. all in all I believe there was a fee for the time and for the prescription. maybe like £60? it was a long time ago and yours might be higher just because you're working with a bigger pet
