Castlevania screen

Post by Akegata »

The other day I made a pretty big project (yeah that's obviously a lie, it took 3 months or so to finish it including the several weeks I waited for some of the beads to arrive to my place).
I suck at taking pictures, so you'll have to excuse the crappy quality, but here it is:

..still don't understand why pictures that are too big just don't scale down, so I have to submit them as URL's instead. Oh well.

Hey, amazing work!

Did you make them in pieces with a small number of pegboards or did you actually have enough boards to do it all at once??

Well, first I made about 4 boards in a row, but melting them became very awkward for some reason, even though I've made others that big before, so I ended up making one board at a time and then combining them.
That was pretty damn hard in the end when I had two 120x50cm pieces to melt together, and in the beginning I melted them on both sides, so on some places I actually had to drill new holes to make them fit on the boards again to be able to melt them together..what a hazzle.

Oh well, it came out nicely in the end. :)

same as always...a ton of forum posts, an inbox many pages deep of submitted projects, and a full time job which kicks my ass.

I'll put you up on saturday though. then you'll be famous.
