Mystery Science Theater 3000 shades
From Thingiverse user gianteye. This is how I’ve seen the world pretty much since 1994 or so. CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Made On Earth
With a Bic lighter and lots of patience
Oliver Kosta-Thรยฉfaine is a Parisian artist who works in a number of media. But my favorite works of his are those that involve the absurdly simple technique of standing on a lighter with a disposable cigarette lighter and burning patterns onto a ceiling. [via Dude Craft]
Lovecraft Elder Thing sculpt
From ConceptArt.org user Jiangzu (who says “I am so addicted to sculpting that I forget to eat half the time”) this awesome Sculpey-and-wire rendition of one of Lovecraft’s master baddies from At the Mountains of Madness. This thread includes more shots and details of this and other creature builds. [via Propnomicon]
Volpin Props Bioshock “Big Daddy” on eBay
The amazing “Big Daddy” costume build from Volpin Props that we covered back in September is up for auction on eBay. The listing closes just after 9:00 PM PST on December 3rd which, incidentally, is my birthday (hint hint hint). The image shown above is actually a photograph of the costume (admittedly one that’s been run through a PhotoShop filter or two) taken at the Georgia Aquarium. You can view the entire photo-set here. [Thanks, Phil!]

Custom branding irons clip onto lighter
I branded myself, about 8 years ago, with a cookie cutter and a blowtorch. The first time my dad saw it, he asked if someone had held me down and mutilated me in some kind of gangland reprisal. Dad thinks my life is a lot more exciting than it actually is.
Anyhoo, Cory just boinged this link to the Shapeways blog, wherein is described a nifty little 3D-printed metal branding iron they’ve developed, which clicks onto a standard disposable butane lighter and is fully customizable with your own logo/gang sign/frat house letters. Click the iron in place, flick the Bic for 30 seconds, and you’re ready to burn some skin!
If you don’t enjoy the smell of your own curdled flesh, this could be a great tool for hallmarking those little handmade wooden widgets you sell on Etsy, or whatever.
