Looking good! Oh the things you could do with a 3d scanner and 3d printer...

[Blackadder]

Where's the fun in that.

True, true, there's an added value from the Arts & Crafts approach.

Sorry to have been so long in responding:


The tedium of making dozens of these structures; revising, chopping and rebuilding better representatives of them seemed like not the most interesting aspect of this build.

I finally have enough, eighteen, for the first tier of the greaves and, with slight modifications, I have devised of a better way to produce the second tier, eight in all, that is less labor intensive.


Couple that with an abscessed tooth, a root canal, and a mild case of the flu made me less than amenable to communicating my meager progress with my peers.


The castle portion of this construct will necessitate a lot of repetitive work and no I am not going to "cast" or 3D print any portion of the requisite components. In my warped OCD way I consider that cheating


Of course I am hypocritically not above using bitz.

Good to see you back again. TBH I thought you might have gone on holiday over the Easter break. The work you have done is looking fine and it's always great to see your progress.

Blackadder is Back In the Groove


To be a bit self serving I'm feeling much better and the past few day have been most productive. The gabled naves in the first level greaves give the appearance of homogeneity even though they aren't exactly the same.

The first attempt at a stain glass insert for the naves for lack of a better name.

A side by side comparison I stumbled across on my imgur preview index. Even though my Emperor will be taller the proportions are pretty close. Whew!

Note to self, "I have to shorten the second and third tier. And hip region needs to be beefier."
