Considering how small they are I think I did a good job. See my fat fingers?

It might be, I got some warhammer bits from a friend a while back.

As a poor artist sometimes you have to make due with what you have. Like this made from cardboard and tape, the logo was printed out and glues on.

try united nuclear for aerogel, $300 for a 5 gallon bucket

The base was a small plastic Easter jelly bean shaped container, it was rounded on top and had a flat cover on the bottom. I added small strips of styrene sheet for detail. The eye stalks were made from fine wire wrapped over a larger wire. A small piece of tape held in the eyes that are small silicon desiccant beads (the kind you find in packages that say DO NOT EAT). Here's another made the same but in yellow.

Cool looking little bots!

here's a tiny DRD

maybe something like this

Maybe one of those recordable greeting cards, just record the sound on it and stick the innards inside the Tardis and some kind of switch to activate it

On a side note: I just listed this bad boy on etsy, just search beholder

Liquid sculpy?
I have some ultra light sculpy I made a few things with this summer. They were last minute requests for cake toppers.

Yes the one ship type had highlighter pens for nacelles, it was one of the rare 4 engine ships in trek

You can also get paint in 5 gallon buckets

I did also make a DRD from Farscape out of a dead mouse

I've done that for years too

Anyone make small stuff out of junk?
Here is a Matrix ship made out of a superglue tube cap, pins, sprue, a Christmas light socket and some small beads.

If you plan on using it a lot make sure the head is very comfortable and padded. I've had to use a cane for a while myself and I used the leather from an old glove over some dense foam padding on a copper pipe T.

Killz brand paint

a string of incandescent lights, not CF, not LED, the old ones that get hot. 90% of the energy they use go to heat.

There is a large selection of clothing on cafepress, each lists the material and thickness, cheaper = thinner of course. There are also zazzle and spreadshirt that I know of that do clothes.

I don't make a living online but I do bring in a few bucks. I have an etsy shop but nothing in it at the moment. I also have a large shop on cafepress that got me about $2,000 last year.

A waterwheel would be your best bet, hook that to a car alternator then to your battery bank. The alternator has a built in voltage regulator so it won't overcharge the batteries. Buy yourself some household lights fixtures and get some 12 camper bulbs.

I think you are thinking of a THERMAL camera, that I can't help you with.

I meant Underhill, not Underwood.

Hey Norm, how's Roy Underwood these days?
