  1. Us? Not be silly? I'm pretty sure you have better chances of winning the lottery while being hit with a meteorite after you've seen bigfoot :P

     

    But I can't wait to see this new feature. It might have something to do with the "issues" tab, because

    • It's new, and you said, "It's something I've had in mind for a while and finally found a tool we could use to accomplish it.".this new "issues" update is a tool that was just released (And I think found by you)
    • You said it can "Help in determining how we can continue to improve BZPower", which is probably what the issues tab does (I'm invisioning it as a suggestion box for profiles and such)
    • It won't work if we are silly, which is what happens with suggestion boxes and as well.

    Anyways, there really isn't anything I can think of other than the "Issues" that relates to this.

  2. for the greek helmet example, I believe that they used some kind of epoxy sculpt and put that over their base helmet and used their fingers or a round object to do the detail. Epoxy might be a bit expenisive, but I think you can use paper clay for the same effect as long as you seal it afterwards.

     

    Also, the support structures, I've seen some files where the modelers put triangular tubes instead of flat strips and I do feel that triangular tubes are more stable. Just a tip for you.

     

    Pakari, I always wanted to try to paint one that would look wooden but Takua's mask would be good also or purple :biggrin:

     

    Good luck on all the builds!

    Thanks for the ideas. I also had an epiphany earlier; the same commercial paper Mache I've been trying out -which really, is like clay, but lighter and simpler to work with- would be great to coat the helmet and cover the seams made by glueing as well as add detail :D. I've really seen the amazing power of this substance just a few minutes ago when my grandfather was using it to sculpt hills and rocks on the Model train layout he is working on.

     

    Thanks for the tips.
