Bronco OV10A for Flight Simulator
Scared Generation
Failed attempt to make a bigger sculpture. On the backside something went wrong unfortunately. But a lot of lessons learned.
Made in Daz3D, exported to Fusion360 via Blender.
CNC Koekkoek Pencil
First attempt to use a pencil on a cnc plotter. It works but you don’t have a consistent line thickness. Next time I will use a fineliner pencil.
The scene is made in Blender, using freestyle. I am working on a 3d reconstruction of a painting by Koekkoek.
Plotterfun
Today I used my cnc machine as a plotter for the first time. The website Plotterfun inspired me to do so. Easy, fast and… fun! https://mitxela.com/plotterfun/
Come on in, the water is fine!
My latest woodcarving project. I still have to fine tune some things. For one.. the arms still floating above the water a little bit. Thereafter I’m going to experiment with oil or lacquer.
Hongkong Revisit
I am still tweaking my Hongkong image. The lighting is very difficult. There is an inside and an outside scene in one. But I like doing this tweaking stuff.. it’s educational 🙂
Dremel Flexible Shaft Holder
My dremel cnc can only cut away wood up till a height of 40mm. So my plan is to have drill sideways so I can cut away on the side of parts that cannot be turned. Here is a test holder.
This wood splits too easily (I’m such a Noob) so I’m going to make a new one, using mdf. Hopefully it will be stronger than.
Makeup with laser
I am trying to make a small laser engraver work together with my cnc router. The router to cut away the material and the laser to add makeup. My attempt to use a marker pen failed because of the properties of wood.
For now I am quite happy. I would like some more gradient, but every wood is different so I have to do more testing. The small scale is adding a layer of difficulty. The face is less than 30mm in height.
Next I will try to make a car and use the laser to accentuate the edges.
John Singer Sargent
A few years ago I read the book; Sargent’s Daughters by Erica E. Hirshler. A biography of a painting. This was the start of my interest in art history. I am sorry but I had never heard of John Singer Sargent before this book. In Holland they teach you everything about Dutch painters, some other european painters, but thats about it. Every country has its own Rembrandt and in my opinion Sargent is the Rembrandt of the USA.
I wanted to make a wooden sculpture of him after my Sorolla buste. My son asked me to make one of Rembrandt next. I might. I also want to make a sculpture of Modigliani in the future. But there are less photos of him available.
I hope you like it.
My Mom
Less creative because it was a scan, not a sculpt. But it was intended as an experiment, not as a finished buste. The scans lacks detail. At least with the Sence scanner I borrowed. But I can use the scans as reference material in the future.
