Popo's Cauldrons

Popo will not have time today, so she has asked me to post her custom cauldrons for her. These are fantastic models, and I hope someone has a chance (JG!!) to use them before Halloween is over! Thanks Popo!!!

EDIT: As I don't have a high speed connection available in my area yet, I am still on a dial-up. Trying to upload all of them was taking forever, so I am including 4 small and 4 large cauldrons - the ones that most likely would be used.

Thanks for posting them... they are absolutely brilliant Pauline. 'semi-retired' indeed

And here's a pic of them opened up in AC3D - haven't opened them up in Wonderland to see how they appear there but this will give you an idea of the big effort she's gone to.

PS Pauline, take out the semi-retired doo-dah & put yourself down as Queen of the Cauldrons... don't know if that is entirely flattering but anyway...

Thanks for posting the cauldrons majic.

Robbie, I made the cauldrons months ago. Actually I snarfed bits from here and there. The body came from the teapot that is in Milkshape, I took off the lid, handle and spout. I made the rim from a torus and pinched the handle from another model. Last week I made the coals and the disc for the surface of the liquid. So I am still semi-retired.

Perhaps I'm a Womble. I look for bits and peices I can use for something else.

A Womble???

There's one from the pages of history... I use to love that show - BBC wasn't it?

Well, I guess it's true... a Womble you may be but common you certainly aren't. If not Queen of the Couldrons, how about Queen of the Wombles? (quite possibly even less flattering). Then again, maybe a Womble is a bit obscure for the rest...

...and another thing. Is that green liquidy thing a snap of your dishwater? (

ducks for cover as a ladle comes flying)

Keep up your great semi-retirement

Robbie

I'm as common as muck, me.

Er, no, it's my bath water.

In case anyone wonders what we're on about, the Wombles were furry creatures who lived on Wimbledon Common and went round collecting rubbish to make things from.

Suppose I'd have to be Madame Chaulet (have I spelt that right?)

Just had a quick look. Marvelous!

The skin for the liquid surface is easily customizable right? That can lead to some interesting possibilities, such as seeing an actual thing being stewed in the cauldron for example......

Yep, I suppose you could put whatever you wanted on the surface. I think you might have to keep the same name for the file though if you're using the one with coals as well.
