More on drums

So I made another drum, drilled holes in them all for the wire, then hot glued the wire together temporerily. Here is kind of what the set up will look like, with two symbols aswell.

Here is the new drum on a stand:

And here are the two above the bass (as you can tell I don't know the technical names!):

And here is one of the symbols drying:

Since then I have made a stand for one of the symbols, and have covered all the hot-glued joints with Epoxy putty for strengthening and it will look better. When they're dry I need to paint the other symbol and make a stand for it.

GREAT NEWS!

Finished guitar one, painted bass, making drums


Photobucket
All nice and finished!
Photobucket
Painted the bass, but still need to drill 4 holes and add strings.
Photobucket
The drums are all epoxy putty with cardboard tops and bottoms. For this I am going for a claymation look, Will Vinton style, so pretty much everything will be plasticine, which is what I'm going to cover the sides of these drums in. That's also why I made the whole of the guitar and bass out of epoxy putty.

Stringing guitar

I finished painting the guitar which I made out of epoxy putty, and then couldn't think of a way to attach the strings.
Photobucket
So what I did was drilled some holes in the top and bottom of the guitar (epoxy putty is really good for drilling holes into) I only made 5 as I couldn't fit another in, and it's hardly noticeable that there is one missing string!

And now as you can see I can put strings in. 3 are drying as we speak.

Guitars

Just making a Hofner Bass and some electric guitar - I started off by making a basic wooden body and neck for the bass, then covered it in Epoxy putty. For the other guitar I decided to scrap the idea of the wooden inside, so I just made it completely out of epoxy putty. Still in progress!

Table top don

Some of you may have been wondering where I have been for the past couple of weeks. Well I have been creating a simple claymation about a lonely plasticine man named Don, who is created on a table, and can't seem to get off.

*will upload tomorrow*
