Cyber Planner Tutorial

So quite a few people have been asking me to do a tutorial for the Cyber Planner face unit that i made a while back, so here goes.


First of all, i tried to get an outline of the piece that was vaguely accurate from a few screen shots, trying to include all the lines and details and ended up with the picture below.

From this template i then shaped pieces of super sculpey roughly into the shapes on the page.


At this point i decided it would be a good idea to make it in seperate sections to allow easier movement, you could do it all in one piece, or just two. I ended up with  four.

Once the basic shapes were done, it was time to put in the detail. I used a scalpel and a cocktail stick to draw in the lines.


I added a little extra clay for some of the details and scrap wire.

The next part was rather tricky, although im sure there are easier ways to do it!
I very awkwardly and gently moulded the sections to the shape of my face (this is tricky because they fall off... alot)
Everything then went into the oven for 5/10 minutes.

Then once its cooled down and hardened you can paint it. I just used silver modelling paint and a tiny bit of black for the details.

and there you have it!
I feel like i should point out that the last photo is of course photoshopped. One day i will be clever enough to figure out how to add bits that glow.... one day!

I think my entire wardrobe should now be character themed. Starting with these

MCM Comic Con 2014

Ill be honest, this years convention was a bit of a mixed bag.
Friday was great. I met up with Louise and Phil and got sorted out in their hotel room. I went as the Tenth Doctor, but once I got to the venue I decided to ditch the coat since it was stupidly hot but I was still armed with my sonic and a banana (bananas are good, you should always take a banana to a party).
I didnt take too long to get through the queue and it was still relatively quiet enough for us to walk around and get a good look at the stalls. By the afternoon it was pretty packed though, and started to get a bit too much.
Doctor vs Deadpools! (He did not expect me to pull a banana on him!)
We found a stall that sold tails, I was so happy i was bouncing

Drunk!Ten was a lot of fun

Pub times on Saturday night (Loki wanted to join in with the cocktail drinking!)

My costume for Saturday

I got an awesome shirt

Loki No!

What on earth have I got myself into!!
I've started a vague attempt at a Winter Soldier costume, and i have no idea what i am doing!
I've started adjusting a corset that I already had by adding on some straps and details, which im going to wear over a black turtleneck.


The arm is proving tricky though.
ive got as far as making a plaster mould, but from here i dont really know what to do. Ive seen some brilliant ones made from craft foam and worbla, maybe thats the way to go? Or just go for paint. Paint i can handle!

Anyway, making the plaster cast was fun even if i dont end up using it!


This mask. THIS DAMN MASK!
It will be the death of me i swear. 
I just cant get the shape right, and its pissing me off so much!

At the end of each football season we have a fancy dress day at work, so naturally I went for the Eleventh Doctor.
Literally no-one knew who I was supposed to be, and thought I was Tommy Cooper because of the fez.
Bloody heathens and their lack of Who-knowledge!
(excuse the terrible phone pic)

On your left!

I just watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and I'm now totally in love and have a new *slight* obsession!
I want to cosplay everyone!
But seriously, this has to be one of the best films I've seen in a while (Im totally not crying over Bucky Barnes. Nope. Nosiree. Not Me)

Anyway, ideas are now in my head. Whether or not I actually do anything with said ideas is another matter!

Why revise when i can make pointless props?

So instead of revising today i found a rather cool template for a Torchwood ID badge, so went ahead and knocked one of those up, as you do. I also made a quick attempt at a TARDIS key with perception filter (I.E some tiny bits of cardboard and wire stuck to an old key!)


[The template for the Torchwood card can be found here]

3D glasses: Perfect for spotting Void Stuff

I just had to get a pair of 3D glasses, even though I couldn't see a damn thing. I also really like my hair in these pics, I kind of felt like Rose dressing up as 10 to make fun of him

Someone mentioned making the cyber planner prosthetic from Nightmare in Silver, so i thought i'd have a go at it.

Ooo look, a cosplay that isn't Doctor Who related! (It does happen once in a while!)

Cardiff Comic Con 2014

Fantastic weekend!
oh were to start.
Well the Doctor Who Experience was utterly amazing, then the convention itself was just as good.
It was a lot more relaxed and quieter than the London one, and had so much more to see and do.
Sadly we didnt get tickets for the Red Dwarf panels because we were too slow BUT I did get a photo op with Danny John Jules and Paul McGann (who is so cuddly and adorable!)
We also met the irish kid from Harry Potter and Hodor from Game of Thrones (Who was the tallest person ive EVER met! seriously, my sister looked hilarious standing next to him coz shes only 4'6"!)
