Greetings Fellow Humans,
Today I built a skeleton. Or Skelerton as I sometimes call them. But that isn't what matters right now. This skeleton is taking a stroll down to wherever it is that skeletons go when they are off duty. Probably not the bar or he would need to bring a mop with him. Maybe he just isn't forward thinking. A bonehead, if you will. Stupid skeletons anyway, making messes and clattering around everywhere. But I digress. This piece is made of automotive and industrial parts, and stands about 11 inches high. I left it shiny from sandblasting for now, but I am thinking I may go ahead and turn it black, since I am liking the look in some of the build photos quite a bit. I went for kind of a cartoonish look with this guy, which was fun.
I feel safer around skeletons when they are un-armed.
I kind of liked this photo. It has a bit of a Dr. Frankenstein's lab feel.
I did not want to mess up the toes when I welded him to the base, so I drilled holes in the plate and welded the feet down through the bottom, which worked well.
This was right before I sandblasted him.
Thanks for reading!
