I've spent the last couple hours or so working on customizing my McFarlane Halo Reach Warthog, the big one scaled for the 5 inch figures. The first hour or so was spent building a roll cage similar to this:
...but a lot less bad ass looking because I lack the skill. However, it came out as a success, and looks good enough for me (pics to come in the Customs forum). Then I started working on a cap to fill the hole left by the removal of the rotating turret. I wanted to give the cap a grippy texture, and the simplest way I thought of was to print a picture of a bunch of holes perfectly spaced apart making a perforated grid pattern, all with a circle drawn around them to fit the size of the gap. With a band saw, I followed the circle and cut it out perfectly. Afterward, I began drilling out the holes, even if it would have ended up being about 100 holes. Anyway, the drill bit I had to use was too small for the stationary drilling press (which I use for making perfectly perpendicular holes). That whole hour went down the drain. Now I don't know how else to simulate some kind of grippy texture that matches or complements the texture that's already on the back of the Warthog. Now feel free to share your stories of wasted work! |

I don't manstruate. I'm an insufferable prick all month, every month.
