CRESS CRITTER – “Golden Age” A Custom Resin Toy

Have a bunch of wood & resin toy projects going on right now. I really hope i can release these little fellas as a DIY edition when spring is coming and the sprouts are growing! ^__^ I still have a lot of details to sort out, especially how to export the cress seeds from the “Happy Gardening” set i’m planing…

Meanwhile some WIP pictures of my first custom i’m working on: “Golden Age” CRESS CRITTER. All painted by brush and metallic acrylic paints, i hope you like him!

CRESS CRITTER – Testing New Seeds and Colors

My test labs are bursting full of new organic experiments with all the different CRESS CRITTER’s. I had to send out our best recources to get some new rare species and varieties for the upcoming “Happy Gardening” Kit! Running tests on “Nasturtium officinale” and “Medicago sativa”, looking very promising so far…

CRESS CRITTER – It’s Greening Up Nicely!

It’s time to share some secret WIP shots of the new little chaps. Last week my studio turned into a greenhouse and the first critter resin casts were used for planting series of experiments. I’m petty sure the CRESS CRITTER will bring the best out of you and a charming green touch for your desk or toy collection! ^___^

CRESS CRITTER – Silicone Molding and Resin Casting Toys

I made a short slideshow where you can see the silicone molding process of the CRESS CRITTER.  I have placed the the prototype and the seem line in a slightly unusual position for this two part mold but I had the feeling i should give my silicone-plug-system-technique™ a shot! ;)

Now after the first few resin copies i have to say, casting is going pretty well so far …and I’ve got some wicked ideas for these fresh resin Critters right now! Stay tuned.

CRESS CRITTER – Prototype/ Master Model for Molding

Short update on my CRESS CRITTER. I just have applied a basecoat filler and sanded down the ABS layers until everything was sleek & smoothed out. Then i applied the finish with white NC-paint to the prepared 3D print model. Now this fella should be good to go for a first mold! Check back soon…

CRESS CRITTER – Toy Rapid Prototyping (ABS 3D-Print)

After reconstructing the CRESS CRITTER information from a tiny bio-harddisk i was finally able to revive a first specimen of it! For the time beeing it’s growing fast and i do feed it with fern and other ancients herbs. More about these long time died out CRESS CRITTER next week…! :D
