This is to go on the wall at a BBQ smokehouse in Scotland, brief was full size Cow sowing the cuts of beef (if anyone is interested in the full workflow Design Implementation / finishing, i will be happy to do a full write up)
this is the biggest thing i have done thus far on my SO3, (for now) i have a pig to do then a huge sign that needs the tiling techniques so for now very very happy with the result.
great work ! did you just pour the epoxy resin very carefully inside the letters, and if so how do you manage to get an even depth across all letters ?
I used a syringe 10ml and a steady hand after doing some tests the resin sort of bulges / dams up against the edge I found when it did that I could move further down the letter, pumping reading back into its self
Took a bit of practice but one I got the feel for it this technique worked really well I have a video of what I mean I will upload it as a it is a bit hard to describe.
ok, a video will be great ! I usually pour and overflow and resurface the excess with an endmill, but I’m willing to try any method that requires less cleanup.
nicely done, thanks. I’ll give that a try when I have features that are large enough (for the V-carved stuff I do with epoxy resin, and given my clumsy hands, this approach probably won’t work for me)
I used Casting epoxy resin for this project i normally use standard epoxy, but thought i would try this was good but i felt that the casting resin left streaks (possibly because i was not using it right ) but got used to it before the COW pour.
Sorry for delay in getting back to you been busy with work. I actually paid to have the artwork created for this design, and am in the process of revamping the toolpaths with the aim of putting them up for sale, as i have had a large amount of interest in it. So i am afraid on this occasion i cant share them (but happy to give a discount once they are ready to be sold!)
the meter rule above the head should give you idea of overall scale
