so i hastily slapped a coat of paint on Mr. Step

painting models is not really my thing and i really wanted to get this thing over with so i could move on.

first some black rubbed in to the texture of his skin

look at them choppers

word em up

NOT IN THE FACE

now he is all primed up and ready for paint

i took the 3-d file from yesterdays thing and sent it to the 3-d printer

this is the first pass and the birth of guttstep

about 14 hours later

hour 15, guttstep is born, but “vy am i drippings wis goo?”

we send him to the shower to alleviate the funk

AHHH SO REFRESHING

not so fast, time for a bath in sodium hydroxide

IT’S ALIVE

AHHHHHHH RUN, IT’S A GIANT CAT!!!

Guttstep for tomorrow?

this was inspired by my weak efforts on thing 2

He truly is a “thing”

Guttstep took me just over an hour to complete, i have big plans for tomorrow.

I have no clue
