I've always got a lot of irons in the fire. This means that it tends to be a long time between project updates if I even get to them at all. I worry that anybody reading my blog might get the idea that I've disappeared or at least quit building things.
So to quell that notion, here's a quick roundup of UnFinished Objects currently rolling around in the workshop...
First, there's my 3D printed Samus Aran helmet is just about ready to mold: Locus armor has been getting a lot of progress: All of the printed parts have been printed. Most of the carved parts have been carved. I just need to do a ton of prep work and mold everything so I can make it sturdy, lightweight, and wearable. On another bench, I have the beginnings of a custom team of Mandalorians: As part of that project, a few days back I printed and assembled the beginnings of a shrimp fork: On an unrelated note, I also printed up the helmet for "grenade face," one of the Knights of Ren for no good reason: The War Machine armor keeps finding its way back to the backburner, but it will be finished this year:
There's more stuff in progress, but this is just the top of the current pile.
Holy Hell, what a ride! 2018 found me in five different states, attending multiple conventions, driving, flying, and sailing countless miles, meeting new people, and building tons of cool stuff. Somewhere along the way I decided that this year I need to actually get out of my little workshop cave and go to some of the conventions where a lot of my work ends up anyway. Early on my crew and I started making plans to attend at least a handful. Why not? Along the way I've been making a concerted effort to get away from the shop more often to be more sociable. So there's also been a lot more interesting nights out. Much of which have me finding pics on my phone that I can't explain the morning after. Case in point: Anyhow, read on for a rough timeline...
