Resin headbase made with a slush casting resin technique... It's extremely strong and rigid and weighs next to nothing

I made a bit of progress on the head, got bored one night and decided lemme do something. Will post pics asap

I know a free mason personally, I know two of them and yes the organisation does exist in South Africa.

But it's more of a networking opportunity than the believed elitist club, it's how you build professional and influential contacts faster. I am considering joining myself once I have my degree.

All I have to say is your making a bold blanket statement here and stereotyping everyone for that matter. Yes there are some nut jobs in this fandom but seriously you just have to look past them to get to the good people. Leeward, you may or may not read this but all in all your experience and your ...

So this is looong overdue, I received my headbase in the mail about 2 or 3 weeks ago and I've just been so busy I haven't had time to post it here. Please excuse the mess on my table, life's been busy and I haven't even had time to clean my room: 20170523_100123.jpg So after paying the initial fee o...

So I made the first payment just now for the headbase and silicone nose using the rather lower exchange rate to my advantage I paid R500 less for the order. Shipping eta 17 April, I will post on here the second I get more news on shipping etc. I was meandering when I found this - http://www.textilee...

Can't sleep, my fucking brain decided okay bruh. You seriously need prioritise your shit and draw up a excel spreadsheet of daily planning for the rest of the month GAWD
Also brainstorming for activities to do at the plot during meets

I'll try and be as creative as I can with this one
Probably only going to be me in vex suit and me without suit, sounds like it can be fun!

It's up, after many retakes and one hell of a time editing the next video in the blog is online!

I've tried my hand before at making my own jaw sets with Fimo clay and felt to no avail because I'm too fucken precise and perfectionist (Ironic isn't it?) I did that on my suit and I was quite happy with it... :? Unpainted: https://forum.zafur.co.za/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2930&start=30#p50948 Painte...

I prefer the look of the "jaw set", personally. Yeppers, I do too tbh! I'm almost turnt to go realistic but I can't yet do that level of detail, maybe in the near future or so when I have completed this project seeing as it is going to be a resin base and I am going to move to resin base suits for ...

Howdy fuzzy ones!! So it's drawing ever closer to the time of our own con!! We're super excited about it ourselves and can't wait for it! Just a friendly reminder to go check out our FB page and event on FB for the con: https://www.facebook.com/SouthAfrifurConvention/ Also if you have not registered...

So I was wondering, seeing as this new project is going to be a toony style suit but on a resin head base, what jaw set I should go with. http://www.madefuryou.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/teeth.png I can get either of the two, but idk if the realistic jawset will go well with a toony head. Althou...

So I'm looking into importing a few pieces of green faux fur, the website I'm looking at buying from only shows the price that they charge for it and that is also before the SA customs tax. I was wondering if anyone knows the tax legislature or where the tax information is gathered on textiles so I ...

Anyways here is the first video of the Yote 2.0 series ZBaRxipSCzQ Ooooh very exciting! Would love to see how/where you source materials. Will be following with interest! As for the longer fur bits like the headfloof, you might want to look into NFT. It is ridiculously expensive but you'd only need ...

I will find out about starting to sell fur here, will keep you guys updated! I just want to make sure I don't order from a limited stock. I think this is most of all what we need in SA right now is fur, if you can start a shop selling fur that would be extremely helpful in boosting the amount of pe...

If you can import lime green fur I'd happily take 3 meters already
I've been thinking a lot of making suit making kits instead of doing commissions

So I have been doing some number crunching, importing a proper suit that I would like with all the bells and whistles would cost me well over R30k and especially the one I want from made fur you will cost around R50k. I thought of opening a savings account and depositing money when and if I can into...

Fursuit making supplies
i.e
-Jaw sets
-Eyes
-Claws
-molded bases
-Faux fur(Super expensive to import thought)

Take a look at fursuit supplies, I think it's what we need here more than an official maker tbh. Commissioning a fullsuit is too expensive

Just started dinner because of editing delay on video and gym and and and...
I'm gonna be that guy and post my youtube vid I made here... Because yeah I wanna be that guy (and I'm super proud of this video)

I have to say great attempt at the digi legs it's great to see others trying it as well and I really hope to see you at geekfest! I've learnt from experience that adding some padding to the bum area refines the look even more and makes it look a little more proportionate. I just noticed I haven't po...

Ahhhhhhh it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to see it in action!!
You and Eylof are making me really want to commission an overseas maker now xD

Cringing at a try hard popufur... Why would someone want to be a popufur? The only conclusion I can make is that your real life is so sad and miserable that you try to make your "online" life worth living. People invest way to much time and effort into their online lives, step away from the computer...

Fabric Centre has had green and pink fur in stock ever since last year, and more recently I've found all sorts of colours like navy, electric blue, burgundy, faux wolf, and even fake sheepskin. If you're not having any luck getting them to courier, I'm happy to take you virtual shopping and send it...

You know what I find interesting is that almost no one lists their fur on their online stores. The people in South Africa that is. I've sent both the first two places a request, think I'll have to phone the third place sometime. Do these places have like the radical fur colors like lime green, red, ...

Leeward wrote:I've found several places in the WP that sell a variety of fur. I can give you their contact details if you like? Couriering within SA is still going to be cheaper than importing it yourself.

I would very much appreciate it

So in light of recent changes in the economy fur prices have sky rocketed and I'm afraid making a business out of fursuits in South Africa might become but only a dream. Fur by itself is already expensive in America this we know, let's take an average of $21 per yard. The one of few places I can act...
