  1. Well, to an extent. I mixed in hot glue to raise the melting point as and make it less brittle. Getting the color was just a matter of finding crayons in the color I wanted and throwing them in the pot. I used 3 large, extra long glue sticks for every 1/3 pound of wax. In the future I might make a clay version first then make a silicon mold of it. I would first cast the wax to the rough shape using the mold. then carve it to its final form after. This would cut down a lot of waste as I started with over a pound of wax and the finished model weighs around 4 ounces.
  2. This is my OC Perciville. I made the wax figure mostly because I wanted to try wax sculpting myself. He came out really good considering this was my first time working with this media. I had some carving/sculpting experience from working on my model ships but never with wax. I made the wax by mixing hot glue and paraffin wax and collored it by melting in crayons. The body was cut from a rectangular block I cast from the colored wax then carved to the final shape. I made the jacket by painting on melted wax until I had a thick enough layer built up. The new wax was then carved into the jacket. Hair was cast then carved and melted in place. Details like the eyes and yellow on the jacket were crayons that I melted in place. He took about 10 to 12 hours across 3 days to make. Though this time could be cut in half if I knew what I was doing.
  3. This is my OC Perciville I originally drew him as a human and thought he might work as a pony also. I have yet to come up with a good back story for him but have a good idea of his personality. Aperence wise he is short earth pony who is slight of build. He has light brown fur and messy light blond hair with blue eyes. He always wears the same brown and yellow leather jacket that is much to large for him. I still haven't decided on a cutie Mark yet but was toying with the idea of using a tulpa. I made the figure of him from wax and am in the process of drawing him in various different poses for a little project I have planned. PS: I'm sorry about the sideways pictures, my phone is not quite compatible with IP Boards. PPS. I should note that I scared my roommate when I got tho idea for Perciville. I was laying I'm bed trying to fall asleep when I remembered a name I had written on an envelope. I jumped out of bed well past midnight, opened my desk drawer and started franticly rummaging through my old mail. I got a little disheartened when I couldn't find the name, so I opened a letter from my sister and found an angel banishing sigil scrawled into the bottom of the page. I then rushed over to my night stand and grabbed my notebook in which I proceeded to copy down the symbol for future reference. Well apparently I had part of an exorcism ritual stuck in my head because I was muttering Latin while transcribing the sigil. Upon completion of my task I looked up and saw the text I had inscribed on the envelope in the weeks prior. Upon their discovery I began mouthing out the letters as i transfered them one at a time to the header of the page I had just placed the angel banishing sigil on. I finished the page off with a tulpa and went to bed. The next morning my roommate informed me that he thought I was summoning a demon, And he seemed genuinely concerned. I then had to reassure him that as a Christian I wouldn't even mess around with such things. Later that day I tried to draw my persona Tracer but it but what I drew was not what I had pictured in my mind, I had inadvertently drawn a teenage boy who fit my idea for Perciville to a T. Thus Perciville was born.
  4. I enjoy researching naval history of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Vice Admiral Nelson And Isaac Hull are some of my favorite historical figures. Something just intrigues me about the ships from that era. I have made a number models in various mediums from ships in bottles to large scale radio controlled models.
  5. I was trying to eat a 6th sushi roll as I wasn't about to leave that place without getting my monies worth. My stomach now hates me.
  6. The call of Rosewood. by: Joshua Foster. Its a fantasy novel writen by a friend of mine. I'm not very far into it, but the writing seems sound and i'm curious as to where the book will take me.
  7. Doctor Who, Supernatural, MLP, Firefly, and Star Trek (TNG and Voyager are my favorite). Now that I think of it TNG, Voyager, and MLP all have something in common: John Delancey. Supernatural Doctor Who and firefly all have Mark Sheppard.
  8. Tommy the teddy bear. My dad picked him up at a thrift store the day I was born. I've had him for close to 21 years now. he is currently sitting in my filing cabinet, waiting for me to have a kid of my own to pass him down to.
  9. I was watching a video on YouTube about episode of children's shows that were abnormally dark and one was Party of one from MLP. I had no desire to watch this "little girl show" and had some rather bad preconceptions about bronys. But my curiosity got the better of me and I watched the episode I had heard about. At first I was like this shows kinda cute, I guess, but that "cereal box's" fake accent really puts me off, (Applejack's one of my favorite characters now) and why does everything have to be a horse pun. Well several weeks passed and I couldn't get that show off my mind, so I went back and watched another episode, which led to another and another. Then the unthinkable happened, a certain pony who looked oddly familiar said allons-y. After this I knew I had been assimilated into a new fandom and resistance would be futile. I eventually shiped out to basic and the whole time I was there I had this new fandom on my mind. Then after dropping subtle (some were less subtle) references the whole time, on the last week I walked into the dorm and someone was drawing their OC on the whiteboard. This was my first encounter with a brony and I learned that my preconceptions about bronys were very wrong.
  10. A little about myself. I am 20 and work as an aircraft mechanic in Oklahoma. I have always loved fixing/making things, nothing brings me more joy than ripping into a new machine and finding out how it works. I build model ships as a hobby and have recently taken up drawing as my new job has put a hold on my model making. I found MLP about 7 or 8 months ago and have been mildly ubsessed ever since. The first episode I saw was Party of one, I had heard how it was about a characters decent into madness and had to see it. I was apprehensive of watching the show at first as I had some rather bad preconceptions about the fandom. I now know different and am glad I did find this fandom as it rivals that of doctor who in its creativity and enthusiasm.
