Episode #232: Making a Thirteenth Hour Shadowbox
https://archive.org/download/podcast232_202001/Podcast%20232.mp3
This week, we are making a shadowbox, something I’ve been meaning to do for quite some time, since I’ve always wanted to create more of a story to put the figures in. An opportunity to showcase some art at a local art showing presented itself, and not quite knowing how to show my minifigures, the organizer of the event suggested a shadowbox. Coincidences of coincidences! This was the chance to experiment with them. I found two cheaply at Goodwill and came up with a simple scene (that I had already made a picture of back in episode 141) to display. Here are some pictures of the process:
A few pictures of the Rocketeer figure I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. The sculpt is just about done!
If you haven’t checked out the episode on the CGG podcast on the Rocketeer (including some on the comics and the games), you can check it out here.
And yes, if you were thinking the Rocketeer in the upper left quadrant is holding something that looks like a Super Soaker 30, look no further to the cut scene below it for more detail. The one on the lower right is from Broforce, which features a character that plays homage to the Rocketeer.
The game Dark Void also does the same:

There are now Thirteenth Hour toys! If you’d like to pick up one of these glow in the dark figures for yourself, feel free to email me or go to the Etsy store I set up (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThirteenthHourStudio) and get them there.
