OMG Back to Model Building

It has been more than 2 full months since I last posted any sort of progress on projects I’m currently working on. With coming back from Otakon, and seeing how inspired my friend Brian is on his fairly new interest in model building; the feelings come back and I found myself sitting down at my work bench, sanding pad in one hand, and parts of Kanu in the other. Being on Skype with Brian is certainly helping the motivation as well. Via the webcam, I just got itching with watching him sit there and build. I put up my webcam on my work bench light and started filling and sanding. The below pictures were done in early July for my presentation at Anime Expo, but I hadn’t had the chance to make an update.

So I’ve been listening to more music of late as my car was in the shop for a full week while a dent to my hood and my driver side mirror was replaced because a piece of freeway debris flew up and caused said damage to my then, 2 week old car.

Model Build Gathering WebCam Feed/Link

Discussions with Brian resulted in an idea to broadcast or link the model build gatherings via webcams. I’d like to have something similar to video conferencing. So I’m sure the video camera dhcloud lent me would suffice, I think I would just need to play around with some video conferencing software. But the general idea is to help spread the knowledge. I know most of the folks at the build gatherings have learned an insurmountable amount of model building techniques simply by building together. Imagine the possibilities if we can get this to work properly.

Otakon 2008 (After Con Post)

Still trying to recover from the past couple of days of being out in Maryland. Damn fun trip! The model contest wasn’t as exciting as it has in previous years, and I guess I can be proud that AX’s model contest now surpasses Otakon’s, so I guess some good is coming from the active push to get the contest into the forefront and get more exposure for it. At Otakon, I was able to make come connections that will hopefully benefit the model contest in the coming years. I got to see some faces that I haven’t seen in two years, and saw a good number of faces that I had met at Tekkoshocon 2007. I also got better acquainted with yet another female model builder that has also attended my workshops at AX. Damn good time.
