It’s hard to say how many hours…other than many LOL. I worked on it off an on for over a year. I will definitely be keeping this one. I may make some to sell in the future as I enjoy making them quite a bit!

Ok, so my anxiety level just shot up looking at this and imagining the patience that it must have taken to make. Awesome job! Great detail!! Love it!!

This is one of the reasons that it took me a year to complete. When I got stuck on something, I’d put it away for a bit until I could work out what to do. I really like the freedom to come up with something completely original (though inspired by an illustration) but it’s also pretty daunting sometimes.

This is just mind-blowing!! Bravo!!
My son (12 yrs) does Marvel stop-motion movies, and wants to make items for his sets. He was asking me for a type of “rubber” to make guns, etc… Can you recommend the best material to work with? We only have the Glowforge (no 3D printer).
Congrats again on your AMAZING work!

Is he going to make/sculpt them himself? Foam clay is pretty cool. It’s air dry, doesn’t shrink noticeably and is very light. It can be painted as well.

Thank you! He was thinking he could use the Glowforge to cut & engrave the shape (can silicon be used?) I’m envisioning a silicon-type sheet (like an acrylic sheet) but don’t know if that exists and/or is safe with the Glowforge(?)
I know that others have purchased rubber for making stamps and cut and engraved that. I have never tried. I have cut and engraved EVA foam but it’s hard to make tiny things with it because the kerf is so large. It melts quite a bit as you cut it. Maybe try searching for the stamp rubber in the Beyond the Manual section?
Great idea ~ the rubber for stamp material seems to be closest to what he was wanting. I’ll start researching that. Thanks again! (Can’t wait to show him your work ~ he will be blown away!)

Setting him up with Blender and a small 3D printer might be just the thing to get him underway.

The detail in this knock is mind boggling! It reminds me of the Tiny Doors in Atlanta, which is like a door scavenger hunt in the big city (one of my fav activities!) Tiny Doors ATL (@tinydoorsatl) • Instagram
