Man, that model is looking ace. Is he using Milliput?

Would love to see a little more info on the process he uses.

I'll see what information I can drag out of him when we next meet up. Watch this space.

Yes, it's Milliput, on a wire armature as seen in the photos. He creates approximate forms then once it's hard he grinds them into the precise shape he needs. He said he rarely manages to get the right shape first time with the Milliput, so tends to slightly over-apply it for subsequent grinding or sanding down.

Cheers, might have to have a crack at building something myself.

Thursday 14th March 2013: "The Mechanics of Time Travel"

Phew! It's been a hectic few weeks as we've been working hard on a couple of 'Monsters, Inked' projects that we're hoping to bring to fruition soon. Plus we had another month where we exceeded our bandwidth (it's great to be so popular, but we're churning through about 30GB per month now, and it's getting expensive!). Then there was Easter, and the clocks changed, and... and...

The result of this turmoil is that I'm now playing catch-up, which means two comics in one post. First the previous-previous strip, our second Doctor Who 50th Anniversary comic, "The Mechanics of Time Travel":






Next, our previous strip, "Number 6":




And finally our usual link to the latest comic:

Thursday 11th April, 2013: "I Think Therefore I Was"

In other news, 38 of our Monsters, Inked strips have been collected together and put into print in the unimaginatively titled "Monsters, Inked Collected Classics Volume 1". It's at the printers as I type, and will be available to buy from next Saturday (Free Comic Book Day) at our local comic shop, Dead Universe Comics. So if you happen to find yourself in Aylesbury (Buckinghamshire, England) on May 4th, pop along and meet a few independent comic creators, and help our ongoing bandwidth woes by buying a copy of the book




There will also be copies of the "Dead Universe Year One" comic book available on Free Comic Book Day, which includes one of our older Greys strips, a re-worked version of our very first Greys strip, and a completely new triple-height Monsters, Inked comic.

We've received a box o' books ready for sale on Saturday. If any UK readers are in or near Aylesbury (Bucks), then do drop into Friar's Square on Saturday 4th May for Free Comic Book Day to say hello (and preferably to buy one of our nice new comic books, but that's not a requirement).

[xav]

It's hard to believe, but we've been at this for over four years now!

Here's the last strip of Season 4, "How 99 Got Smart":




And the first strip of Season 5 is now online:

Thursday 9th May, 2013: "The Union of Federation Redshirts"

Heck, I'm on so many tablets a day that won't be fun...

Heck, I'm on so many tablets a day that won't be fun...

I'm concerned about the implication that a lesser number of tablets would be fun!


Latest comic:

Thursday, 6th June 2013:"Comic Ridiculing Acronymic Projects"

Time for a blatant plug: we have a new shop page, from which you can buy our recently released 'Monsters, Inked' book, or Greys CD-ROM and other things. We've even got T-shirts now (though they're printed and sold via a third-party).
