Infinity Gauntlet Keychain!

Oh Snap! I made an Infinity Gauntlet keychain based on the popular GIF! And here's the GIF in case you're somehow not familiar with it?!?

I modeled it in Fusion 360, and designed it to have a color layer change at 3.2mm.

Each individual Infinity Stone is also printed separately. But make sure you print at 90% scale so they fit in the Gauntlet. 

And this is a template for the Stone placement as all the Stones are different shapes. 

For me, builds like this are always good to help learn Fusion 360. 

I printed the Gauntlet with MatterHackers gold PLA with a color layer change at 3.2mm to MatterHackers black PLA.

Stones 1-5 were printed with various Proto-Pasta HTPLA filaments. The Mind Stone was printed with Solutech yellow PLA.

The keychain itself is about 4 inches (100mm) long.

Now go print your own!

The Tesseract!

Stan Lee left behind an amazing legacy of characters, and is responsible for many of the popular heroes in Marvel today. He also co-created the Cosmic Cube also known as the Tesseract in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Jack Kirby. Here's my attempt at making one.



Items used in this build:

3.5 inch Photo Cube

Blue LED fairy lights

Wax Paper

Fine Grit Sanding Sponge

And check out Uncle Jesse's Tesseract video which inspired me to make mine.

While I'm happy with how this turned out, the frosted spray paint that Uncle Jesse uses is probably the better alternative to sanding. I might go back and do that.

But this is a quick and easy project that anyone can do!

And thank you Stan Lee for allowing all of us to play in your universe.

New York Comic Con 2017

I have a love / hate relationship with New York Comic Con. I think the venue is inadequate for the tons of people that go, it's hard to get to, and there's nothing else really around there to do. But despite those things, I always come away from the convention having had a great time. And that is due mostly to the amazing people I get to meet. So here's some of the awesome cosplay that I saw at New York Comic Con this year!

Eleven Films I'm Anticipating In 2017

Only a month into 2017 means a whole new crop of movies to get excited about! This year, I just couldn't narrow my list down to ten, so here are the eleven films I'm looking forward to seeing in 2017!

11. John Wick: Chapter 2

What's it about?: Legendary hitman John Wick is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins' guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome, where he squares off against some of the world's deadliest killers. From Wikipedia.

Why I'm excited: The first John Wick was surprisingly fun! With Keanu Reeves back in an ass kicking role minus the Matrix special effects, John Wick was a very entertaining revenge flick. Acting skills be damned! Reeves is perfect for a hitman whose actions speak louder than his words.

When it opens: February 10th

   

Baby Groot For The Win!

Baby Groot is gonna steal every scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 just like he's doing in this second trailer!



And Drax is probably gonna steal a few scenes too... 😉

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 hits theaters in May 2017.

Logan Trailer

A day after the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 trailer dropped, we were gifted with another surprise trailer. This time it's for Logan, the third and final solo Wolverine movie and reportedly the last time Hugh Jackman will train his brains out for the role. Now the Wolverine series has not been good. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was utterly forgettable, and The Wolverine, while leaps and bounds better than the first, didn't have a high bar to get over and still ended up being a hot mess. But holy crap, this trailer looks great!



The movie takes place in 2024 and the aging Logan's healing factor isn't what it used to be. Much like my metabolism... ;)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Teaser

It wasn't enough that we got a teaser poster for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 dropped by director James Gunn himself. But Marvel also released the first teaser for the movie too!



And now let's take a quick look at this short teaser trailer!

Doctor Strange TV Spot

There's a brand new trailer for Doctor Strange! And I believe it's the first time Benedict Wong as Wong and Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecilius speak! Plus Doctor Strange puts on his cape in style... ;)



Doctor Strange hits theaters on November 4th!

Luke Cage Streets Trailer

The latest trailer for Luke Cage is basically more of the title character throwing bad guys around. And you know what? I can't wait!



Luke Cage finally hits Netflix this Friday September 30th.

Luke Cage Trailer

Here's the official trailer for Marvel's Luke Cage, only on Netflix!



Luke Cage hits Netflix on September 30th!

Captain America Shield Project

With Captain America: Civil War opening in the United States today, I finished this project just in time. There are more accurate shield builds out there using a satellite dish or a metal snow sled, but I wasn't ready to tackle cutting metal. So I decided to buy a plastic Captain America shield made by Rubie's and repaint it. I got the inspiration for this from Cosplay Chris who painted a child sized shield and it looked awesome! So I applied those techniques to my full sized shield. 

You'll see the costume shield is actually already pretty good looking. But I wanted to give it a very battle weathered look, as if it had been through a war, dare I say, a Civil War? Thank you, I'll show myself out...

Anyway, the back of the shield just has these small elastic straps. Those are getting replaced.

Doctor Strange Trailer Breakdown

The first trailer for Doctor Strange is out! And boy is it a mind trip...



Considering it's the first trailer, we don't even see Doctor Strange in his familiar duds until the end, and even then it's just his back. With the movie seven months away, you've gotta leave something for future trailers, right?
