April 6, 20179 yr Hi 58er. That comb over is probably his "gathering unit" for his mystical powers... most people call them a tin-foil hat. Not sure why... 22 hours ago, 58er said: Made die of roughed out face. Will make new die with smaller nose and no eyes. Would it be possible for you to post a picture of your die that you made? I confess I know nothing of this and am very interested in it. Im aware of dies used in industry and mfg but not this purpose. Is this for producing them faster/easier for sale? Do you hammer or press your die into your material and then finish it by hand? Is your aim to have the die produce a detailed finished wizard/whatever? Sorry for so many questions at once but Im very interested. And if it's common knowledge my ears are burning already .
April 6, 20179 yr Author New die. Didnt put eyes in this one. Hood better. Wife said I should have turned it into an animal head. She's right. ( as always. Hehe) little better on the general shape , cheek bones , and eyes. But still not very happy with it. Also. Don't like nostrils. Need to pull outer nose down and over nostril hole. He looks kinda like a monkey man. Will try again tomorrow. No debt I will post a picture of die tomorrow. They are nothing special. Made with metabo and die grinder. Only take half hour or so. I do them to save time and put them in my hyd. Press. Prob won't produce for sale. Once I get them to a point I'm happy with I usually get bored and move on to next design. questions are always welcome.
