Scratch Build – In Progress [Project Mod] "SOUL TREE AVATAR"

UP! The times of drying are longer of the previewed one, but like the first roots of the tree ....... obviously near the log are introduced here where there are the carrying iron threads all more will be magnified ......

















Tomorrow it is gone ahead.

 

Some nice details there man, can't wait to see more!

 

Cool, gonna keep on eye on this. Looks good so far!

 

Sorry for bumping but what happened to this project?

 

I'm very sure DEFCON hasn't walked away from doing this, his LOTR mod he just finished took a few years to complete but wow it was worth the wait I expect this one will take him some time & will be very much outstanding once finished too .

 

New photos with the continuation of the roots of the tree ... ... ... still three anchors with the wire and the base will be complete ... ....



















Here's where I arrived ... ... ... ...






When will start the trunk I'll use another Magicsculpt material, is a two component as the Greenstuff but definitely at a good price because I can order it in bins from 10 Kg.



MAGIC-SCULPT



Stay tuned

 

Roots complete ... ...













Stay tuned......

 

It starts boys, I state that I will not be at all easy, we'll put all to let out a masterpiece. ... ...

 

First photos of the work ... .... Then I mixed the two components of Magic Sculpt and I cut the pipe in two currogato (the hose of a common shower), to pass within it the power led cables.












The trunk begins to take shape with the first of the USB sockets to be camouflaged properly ... ...



























Now needs to harden the material to continue tomorrow ... ... .... Stay tuned!!!!

 

Wow , not a fan of the movie but i am a fan of the build id love to do something like this or even just to see it all lit up would be brilliant , a very well done and keep it up !

 

Guys the dough is hard, so here is a new up ... ... ....


































Then I shall continue with branches in anticipation of led strips ... ... ...
Coming soon.........stay tuned!

 

Now the two hoses are covered ... ... just the Magic Sculpt will give hardened will put the wires, or two or four for each branch to connect purplish and white led strips ... ... ...

























Today I shall begin the hard work of sanding the optical fibers .... ...

 

The work continues with the arrangement of the wires for the power of LED strips, definitely will get four threads to branch (two for the white and the other two for purple).











Here's the bottom wire bands that are wired to the molex power supply ... ...








The bench is ready for sanding the fiber optics ... ...







See you soon Hello everyone.

 

Big fan of the movie can't wait to see this lit up!! Love watching the progress

 

Sanding the fiber optics, will that make the light show all along the strands?, logic says it will but not sure.

Going to be magnificent this Emy, very ambitious as always.
Like the USB ports saying peekaboo.

 

That's called Art!
Really great job so far.

 

As I work in fibre optics I'll field that one.

The core, is the central part of the fibre (or fiber if you are an american heathen). This is were the light travels through TIR. This will have a cladding around it to enhance the TIR and prevent light loss. This would be called bare or primary fibre.
Most will now have a coating on top of this, all of these will be clear so to the naked eye they are difficult to tell apart.

If you want to make light escape from the side to get what is called 'side glow fibre' you will need to get down to the core to stop some TIR.

Hope that helps out.
