Hey thanks for watching. I'm curious though, which Adam Savage video do you mean? The reason i ask is that this video has suddenly got loads of views so I think it might be because KZfaq has latched on to a more popular video and is recommending this one.

Very well made but I think you missed a story to be told here. You have this huge hulking creature with a downward tilt. If you had given it more raised arms and stuck to the hand design you could of had a really nice "monster looks down at prey" story to it. It would make the long neck being so extended make a bit more sense. Could even have the head tilted slightly as if it's curious rather than threatening. Like an AI escapes and discovers a child, having never seen one before it's curious but it's also a huge gangly monster. Maybe one arm would even be half blown off to give a sense of vulnerability in the machine. Really enjoyed the video and I'm looking forward to more. Wanted to give some feedback and hopefully offer some userful advice in improving the narrative in your awesome designs.
@thedarkpower
@thedarkpower 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks - well as it happens the pose isn't finalised yet - the head's only aimed down because it's loose. I can't secure it in place as I still need to install some LEDs in it. The arms also move so can be repositioned to an extent. I think what I'm going to do is to have some burnt out vehicles on the base to give an idea of scale. I have been watching some diorama building videos recently too, so the idea of doing a narrative piece does intrigue me. Maybe next time... ;)

I was using the DWP stuff but picked up a trial of Onyx fast last time I went to Bentley. Cast 2 of the same part back to back and I much prefer the Onyx. It's a little more expensive but not outrageously so I don't think anyway.

Your mech scratch builds are so rad dude. I’ve always liked mech design but seeing the build process here, step-by-step, is really impressive. I might have to dive in and give this a try. It looks like a rewarding project. Do you have any videos showing how to wire up multiple LEDs for a model? I’ve wired up LEDs with oscillators (for music based projects) but I’ve always felt a bit lost on how to best calculate the appropriate resistors to use for multiple LEDs, specifically for a sculpture or model application. Anyway, I would find a LED wiring video very helpful. Do you wire them in series or parallel? Also, what is the voltage of your power source and how do you know which resistor to use on each LED? Thank you.

Thanks very much! Yeah I always struggled with getting the right resistors for the LEDs. There are online calculators that work it out for you, but it was abit of a faff. So these days I just use 12V pre-wired LEDs like these: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-Pre-Wired-LEDs-3mm-5mm-10mm-Various-Colours-Lamp-Wired-LED-9V-12-Volts-UK/262762466125 Just hook them up in parallel to a 12V supply and you're done. You can get flashing or flickering ones too. And yes I remember Zoids, wish I still had mine ;)

The Dark Power Perfect. I’ll give these pre-wired LEDs a shot. Great suggestion. Thank you. On another note, I think it would be badass to design one of your mechs with a brass armature/skeleton, with poseable articulation for stop motion sequences. Wouldn’t that be sweet! (Look out Gumby, make way for Scratchbot!) This guy in Spain, Mr. Edu Puertas, makes some nice custom build videos for his armatures. Could be a interesting project, combining scratch builds with armature design. Anyway, just a thought. Edu Puertas: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bs6AlcyA3pPPpKc.html

Thanks, yeah the LEDs have been abit of a game changer for me. Funnily enough a few people have mentioned putting an armature inside and doping stop motion with them. They do all have a degree of articulation - you can move the arms etc. What I'm actually planning on doing is adding some servos so they can run through some pre-programmed sequences.

@thedarkpower
@thedarkpower 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah I could use the original pieces in some circumstances, but the resin copies are very easy to sand and cut, so I can easily modify the casts. Additionally things like yoghurt pots don't have that much structural strength, so the casts are stronger. Some types of plastic don't take paint so well too, so the resin casts are usually preferable.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just use the lighters as parts instead of making a mould and using all that resin ?
@thedarkpower
@thedarkpower 2 жыл бұрын
Well 2kg of resin is about £30. I used 10 lighter casts on this. I think the lighters were about £5 each, so that'd be £50. 10 casts costs far less than that, even if you were to include the silicon for the mould. Plus you have the added bonus of being able to drill into them or cut them up without having to worry about the thing falling apart.
