I am back from shopping ...
I didn t get the piece of round wood I wanted cause they were not able to cut the wood for me ... lousy shop !
I bought a lot of expensive(!) Fimo instead and hope that it is enough material !
Maybe there will be progress today anyway.
On-X custom
Re: On-X custom
Why not use a piece of paper towel roll or a can for the inside? Look around your house for something of similar size and length and mold the fimo around that.

@ Wardah :
Sounds like a good idea ... but sadly a piece of paper towel or a can are too lightweight compared to the fimo-clay.The horse would fall forwards because of the imbalance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I gummed up the various parts ...
now I have to take a break and wait till the special glue is completely hard !
OMG ... this is such a tricky project.
I can not recommend it to tinker an On-X just 4 fun.
I pray for success.
The material was quite expensive and the process is very exhausting...
Please cross your fingers for me guys !!!
Besides I ve got 2 balls of Fimo left ... has anyone of you an idea what I could form with it ... maybe something included in the Starstealer-movie !?

Re: On-X custom
The glue will be hard tomorrow ... then I will airbrush the model.
Colour will be metallic marineblue with glitter-effect.
This evening I made the chest emblem and the saddle. (cellular rubber,glitter-glue,gemstones ,paint etc)
The saddle is quite plain in the movie but I wanted to pimp it just a little with bling bling ! :-))))))))
After I finish the airbrushing tomorrow(I so hope that it works) I ll tinker the mane.
(cellular rubber+paint)
If all should work according to plan I will ask a friend to help me with potential LED-lights !
I am exceedingly antsy !!!

Re: On-X custom
I am glad that you are interested Tennyo !
--------------------------------------------
This morning I started airbrushing!
It seems like it works fine but I have to recheck when the varnish is dry.
Takes 1-2 hours ...
I have to do this twice because it is not possible to colour on top and at the same time the part between the four legs below.
I look forward to the decorating-part of this project.(attaching saddle,chest-emblem,do some filigree paintwork)
I ll also tinker a mane today.

Re: On-X custom
I just finished On-X !
I am content about how he turned out but the process was very annoying !
I think I will not do it again a second time ! :-))))))))))))))
I can add some more pictures of On-X if you guys are interested.
