Rules at the top of the forum.

Competition ends 25th March 18:00 GMT.

I look forward to seeing your entries.

[david_h]

Point of clarification. . ..since I picked this. . .

Any and all weapons, tools, and supplies built by that wonderful company. . ..ACME!

[•BTM]

Finally, a topic I'd really enjoy modeling!

My entry;
done in EXACTLY 30 minutes ( around 20 seconds off... close call...)
images and styles applied after time ( I can do that, right?)
don't know what it's called though

...What, too many pictures?

[Ecuadorian]

There's already a winner, why should I even try?

No, seriously, I'll do my best, as that was one of my favorite cartoons.

[jeff hammond]

so would it be cheating if i used blueprints?

the rocket is nice but i'm pretty sure the bat wings will win. [and i'm pretty sure i know who could draw a nice bat suit ]

[solo]

Sweet model mate.

I guess I'm gonna have to make up an ACME gizmo then.

[boofredlay]

Dynamite

[remus]

Looking good guys, the standard is already very high

Not at all . ..just download them from the ACME Website!

[david_h]

I love this guy. A couple of ideas that worked real well for him. . . .

[Matt666]

Wow! Hard to do better than these great models!

[david_h]

Oh sure! just jump in! I don't think I am speaking out of school when I say. . .but Remus could correct me on this. . .that I don't think it has to be something that Wile E. actually used in a cartoon, but the modeler could invent something that he probably would use? Such as an anvil attached to many many balloons, or a piano attached to a rope that is being burned by a candle . .. .etc etc. etc The Acme Warehouse is full of this stuff. In fact. . go back and watch Roger Rabbit!

[remus]

As long as its in the spirit of his Wile E.s usual tools its fair game

[boofredlay]

Nice stuff David. What render engine did you use for the bomb and dynamite?

[david_h]

thanks Boo. THe render was just a quickie out of Podium. Then I added a little Farkle of light from Pshop just to get the idea of a fuse burning. 5 minutes tops.

Anyway, I have been meaning to ask you . . .is the name BooFredLay a play on the Name Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird? (one of my favorite books by the way!) just Curious.

D

[boofredlay]

Nope, more simple.
My wife's cat (since passed away) was named Boo.
My cat (soon to pass away) is named Fred.
Our last name is Lay.

[david_h]

Very nice. . .Incidently I pulled the rendered image of the bombs from my entry as per the rules.

[•BTM]

So... are all the pictures you posted from one model/entry, or several?

[boofredlay]

I was not so happy with my Dynamite so I decided to do an ACME hammer.
hope you like.

[oalexis]

the wood grain is very cool on that

[remus]

I was thinking that as well, any hints as to how you did it boo?

[boofredlay]

Thanks.
After I got the hammer shape I just used the Line tool from the Tools On Surface Ruby. I did the same for the wrap on the handle.

[david_h]

So... are all the pictures you posted from one model/entry, or several?

consider them separate. Maybe I didn't post those very well.

1) magnet
2) bombs (kinda lame)
3) bow and arrow

Merci.

ps to Boo. . .that Mallet is awesome.

[boofredlay]

The deadline is tomorrow folks
