It's time to add some more finishing touches! The gripper and interface arms! Read More...

After 13 months of work, R2 is finally on his feet! I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Every time I walk in the room and look at him, I think to myself, "I can't believe I built that!" I just need to finish the doors and then I can start to work on the electronics and the gripper and interface arms. Read More...

It took six months to complete the dome and the body, but only two months to complete the legs. I thought it would have taken longer, but the weather has been good to me so I've been able to get a lot done over the past few weeks. Read More...

I completed the center foot and the battery boxes. That's a milestone! Read More...

With winter approaching, I was able to complete all the sanding and painting that I need to do to assemble the body and the dome. R2 is really looking awesome! Read More...

I found a really sweet headdress model that I wanted to print for the Scale Mail Bust. It's huge and will have to be broken into several smaller parts. 12 to be exact. It was a lot of work making it, but it was a lot of fun! Read More...

I did not realize how much work would be involved in making scale mail armor. It does go together surprisingly fast once you get the hang of it. The hard and time consuming part is painting them! Read More...

It's been six months since I finished my last big project. I wanted to put together something that won't take a month to complete, but something that I could sink my teeth into over a week or two. Read More...

I almost finished the 20" Victoria 6 figurine a little over 2 years ago. I was never really happy with the paint job. I've been wanting to go back and repaint the figurine for a long time. I broke the hand off the other day by accident so I figured glueing it back on and redoing the paint job would be a nice weekend project. Read More...

I can't believe it took me almost a year to complete this project! Granted, I took some time off because I put off purchasing a resin printer for months. I also moved to a new house. So it took me a few months to get back into the swing of things. I'm so happy with the way that it turned out. Read More...

The next step in my 23" Victoria 8 figurine is to paint. I want to practice first. I decided to throw together a little sculpture to give me something to practice painting. Read More...

With the weapons out of the way, it was time to finish the base. It came out awesome! Read More...

I'm really happy with the way that the spear and shield turned out. A friend of mine turned me onto the technique of using graphite powder to give objects a metallic finish. It looks awesome.

I couldn't wait to start painting, but it rained for two days. What a pain! It seems like every time I need to paint something outside, it rains! Read More...

That's it! All done! Wow, this project took a log time to do, but if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. I spared no expensive nor detail in making sure that the Footlong Fender looked as real as possible. I think it came out amazing and I learned a lot of new things with this project. Read More...

I can't believe it's been over two months since I started this project. It's taking so long because it has to be perfect. There's been a lot of sanding, painting, sanding, and painting. A lot of trial and error, and some do overs. Read More...

Such tiny parts! I've made a lot of progress on the Footlong Fender. It's been a lot of fun figuring out how to make such small parts. Each piece comes with its own challenges. Read More...

My wife and I just finished watching the first season of Westworld. What a great show. I don't want to give away any spoilers for those that have not seen it yet, but there's a cool maze prop in the show. As soon as I saw it, I thought to myself, "I am so 3D-printing one of those!" Read More...

With all the electronics complete, it was time to work on the enclosure. It took 15 hours to print, and a day or two for the stain to dry. I can’t believe this project is almost finished! Read More...

I was thumbing through Thingiverse looking for something fun to print. I came across a cute Little Groot figurine. I thought my wife would like it. Guardians of the Galaxy is one of her favorite movies. I used to paint D&D figurines back in the late 80s when I was a kid, so this didn't come out half bad considering it's been a good 25 years since I've painted something… and my wife loves it!
