Yes, Honey is Shadow and Gromit's friend!

Oh, and Harry, do you know a website which sells brick paper?

Heya, Joshy!

wow! the plot sounds amazing! I can just imagine it happening! Why did shadow suddenly burst through a fence? Thats what confuses me, otherwise it sounds fantastic! I cant wait to see it!

Chocachoc

Well, she has just moved in next door and she curiously bashes it down! You'll start to under stand her character as I tell you more of the episodes! Oh, and, thanks!

Cool.

Harry, you there?

Im here alrighty! Hows it going Brother? House alright? Wallace alright?

Yeah! Do you have a link for that 'brick paper'?

I got it from a local Train Modelling Shop, I will look on the internet.

Thanks!

Will this do? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RED-BRICK-DOLLS-HOUSE-WALL-PAPER_W0QQitemZ190228109593QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item190228109593&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Yeah! That's wicked!

RESIN!

Does anybody know where to get the kind of resin which is used as coring in Gromit's body and head?

Thanks!

Hello Joshy, Good timing, us on the same time, I do know, Aardman use resin but, it would proberly be easier to use Plastazote. It says that in Cracking Animation.

Here it is Joshy, Fast Cast Resin, what the Aards use you will have to make a mould for it though.

Thanks Harry! I remember having a picture of Gromit cut in half so you could see the armature! Do you have it because I've lost it?

When do you think you will start animating?

I don't really know! I'll get some sketches done later!

Resin is toxic. Fumes are very harmful, very irritant and you need to use proper protection. Goggles, mask, filter and gloves (non-latex, as latex will burn)

Polyurethanes like Polyesters present their own hazards and you should familiarise yourself with them before use. Approved respirators, gloves and good ventilation should be observed at all times.

It is harmful to the enviroment, toxic, irritant and corrosive (means will burn through some surfaces, including your hand!)

Ouch!!!!! hmmmm sounds painful and something i personally wouldn't use, unless i really did have to.
Hope to see some sketches later 666joshy666

sounds good

Thanks guys! Although, I do warn you, I'm not great at drawing!

We don't mind! We wanna see!

Sorry it's been so long I'll get it on tonight!

hey joshy when do you plan to have the first install ment of shaddow and gromit finished by?

I don't know yet, sorry! I'm looking into building the garden set!

Anymore Progress on Shadow and Gromit? by the way what type of dog is Shadow? I think she should have a pearl necklace and a waggly tail, a Poodle like in Loaf and Death, I think your animation will be Cracking, hows the sets going on aswell, done the garden yet? have you made any sets?

Shadow is the same breed as Gromit but a different colour (chocolate brown) and with a white patch around her eye.

Cool, I really cant wait, so have you made any sets?

Hey guys

yeah how are you getting on shadow sounds great

hi

The scaffolding is up and the drills are going! My extension has been going for about a month now! I tried animating earlier and my model just bounced all over the place! I'll have more details on the sets by early November, animating should start around February/March maybe later!

THERE'S DUST ALL OVER ALL MY MODELS!!!!!!!!!

Do you keep them covered in clingfilm? I've started doing that otherwise it's a mess

This sounds like it's going absolutely brill!
I can't quite see what that Matrixy picture is, Nathan... explain it?

First draft model of Shadow is finally complete!

Coming Soon!

Anymore progress Joshy? I love the sound of this!

(found by wallace and gromit restorers!)Crackingcheese- TARGAS

It's going great! I've almost finished making the first set! Building work will be over soon! (sigh of relief!) I'll have some armatures done by the end of march as well! So, all is going well!

Great To Hear Joshy

remember to post some pics we're all very eager to see some sneakpeaks

yeah

Isn't Shadow SavedByBishop's character!?

No Joshy's Had This Idea For Ages

Building still not finished! (GROAN) I have some armature wire on it's way so I should have some models done by early May! Oh and my first set is very nearly done, I just have a backdrop to paint on canvas and the it'll be finished so I'll get some pics of that with the models!

Cheers,

Joshy

What set is it?
Are you doing the front of 62 West Wallaby Street?
I need to order some 3mm Armature wire, So I dont have to twist 1.5mm Armature wire.

The set is the garden one as I still need to find some materials on the internet however I found some stuff in Homebase!

I will do the front of the house after I have done the kitchen. My Dad said he'd help out after he's finished decorating my bedroom.
