Making and breaking. Ex-infosec now studying prop and scenic arts.
@croyle@wandering.shop currently working on building the set for the UK touring version of To Kill a Mockingbird. Taking the US design and making it work for UK theatres. I think this pic is from the London West End run, but you can get the idea from it.
@croyle@wandering.shop I think this picture would be just the kind of thing I’d enjoy if I’d not been pulling 10hr shifts this week making fake I-beams.
@croyle@wandering.shop I also like the scale that forms when smithing. Somehow feels like it’s been wrung out like a flannel, which 100% shouldn’t be possible with a solid.
@croyle@wandering.shop There was a vid from Tested this week with the full size at Tippett’s workshop which was what made me think about it.
It’s possibly the closest thing I’ve ever seen to being janky without crossing the line! It’s basically Home Depot lumber and coffee lids. It’s amazing.
But yes, vacuum formed from the F-14 would be in the 8:1 scale at least.
@croyle@wandering.shop I was just thinking about the F-14 yesterday. Absolutely my favourite fighter from an aesthetic view.
(I had been thinking about it because I’m sure ED-209’s legs were fashioned after its engine cowlings)
@CroyleC@wandering.shop @croyle@wandering.shop after looking closely you cannot convince me you’ve not built that flower from dried mango and bean sprouts.
@croyle@wandering.shop I’m annoyed the only one I could find had to be shipped from the US, then found out there’s a big UK theatrical supplier that stocks them but their online presence is utter rubbish.
