Trident (almost) done!

As much as I'd like to keep tinkering with it (and completely redo parts), I've declared it done other than a spraying with sealer. That will have to wait til a nice day when I can take it to the park I think... Or at least an ally! That would seem sketchy at ALL

Here are some pics, the weather is crappy so the lighting isn't the greatest but it gives a good idea how dynamic the gold is!

Bottom tip and full view!


Looks much smaller disassembled!


On the Glitch front, still not happy with the cog... but I think I might get it printed! First off, I discovered that Google makes a free CAD program called SketchUp which is surprisingly easy to use. I did some measuring and tweaking and came up with this:



It tis a bit costly just for a small ring, and they have a minimum order of $25 so not sure. I may know someone with access to a 3D printer so I'll try the beg route first haha.

    I wondered who it was that made the Glitch Cog on shapeways. I had the same idea and made a complete Glitch model and am having it printed, just waiting for it to arrive. Here's a rendered pic of the model

    That Trident is looking great, the finish you've chosen seems perfect for it.
