Bubble gun Finals.

We have been busy at the shop with this current job. It has a pretty serious NDA with it, so I can't post any text or images on the blog. Oh well, I guess I will be able to post the stuff in a year! On a side note, I had a major meltdown with my main PC which resulted in a sudden loss of 98% of all my data for the last year. Yeah, yeah, I know, regular back-ups. I was actually in the process of doing a back-up, but.............................

On another note, I got the final on the bubble gun shoot. Again, This was done for Matt Barnes for the pop artist Lisha Cash for her new album cover. . His stuff is way fun to work on! However,  I secretly think that the gun should be WAAAAAY bigger with Lisha in the background :)

Bubbles everywhere, and Death leaves in the morning

Yaaay. The bubble gun is done. It wasn't that bad of a job. This is for the same photographer, Matt Barnes, as the crazy Yeti build was. I can't say to much, but its for an album cover. I spent most of the day making the little parts, and odds and ends, for the gun. As I got to sit down and work all day, it was a welcome break from the running back and forth on some of the other jobs! Before I knew it, it was all built. I spent quite a while looking at it, seeing if needed a little more here and there, but decided it was great right where it was. The finish came out pretty sweet as well I think. I basically sprayed the whole thing out in satin black, and when it was dry enough to handle, buffed aluminum powder into the black. If your patient enough, you can almost get to chrome this way. Then I buffed brass powder onto some of the details to give them a little more pop. I also did 1 soap container the same way, and left the second one in the transparent blue that it came in. This might be a nice colour pop as well, the choice will be theirs.

The Death machine is sooooooo close to being done that I get excited at the thought of it leaving soon. It eats a lot of space! We just have to bolt the legs to the pylons, and load it up.
