Mold making:
Planning out the mold. Using legos, a box is made as the mold enclosure. The parts are placed into the box to plan out the eventual layout. Having a well planned out layout will reduce the amount of silicon rubber needed; reducing waste.
This weekend was a busy one. The annual SCAHMS (Southern California Area Historical Modelers Society) show was held on the 20th and 21st, and I the monthly model build gathering was also held. The show was big, about the same as last years. I took a good number of pictures, I got almost everything. The model build gathering was one of the smallest we’ve had in a while; but it was nice and relaxing.
Short version: I went out to Virginia for a business trip on Wednesday and spent the weekend hanging out with Brian, Kamun, Benny, Yee, Jason, Claire, and Charlie.

The long version (nothing to see here really, just move along, short version of this will suffice):
Saturday, a few friends dropped by to just hang out, play a little rockband – that is before my drum pedal completely gave out. The poor thing has literally been stomped on to death. We went up to Frank and Sons for some comics and other random junk. Afterward, we decided to hit up a local Pho restaurant, but upon getting there, they were closed. So the group decided they wanted to do the food court in Mitsuwa – in Costa Mesa, about 25 miles away. So we pile back into the car and head over. Having our fill, we went into the market to look around, and looking at all the fresh fish, we decided to do sushi. So we grabbed the raw materials and headed home.
