2023 ended weirdly abruptly for me, but I got the shot in the arm I needed in order to hit the ground running in 2024. This year's going to be absolutely crazy, but for me personally, I feel my worst years are finally behind me. I'm ready to stop drowning in a sea of...
This is a general update and not project specific. To start, I've been pretty sick the last couple of weeks. That nuked almost every end-of-the-year plan and goal I had for 2023, including the Yamato project. Even as I write this, I'm only just 'recovering.' There's...
Uh ... yeah, I'm not sure why I started making this yesterday. I'll do 'inspired' builds, but I never attempt actual replicas. For some perspective, this is sixteen hours of work crammed into about a day and a half. It took me a year to get the Admiral Hipper slapped...
One of the most annoying things about fleshing out these World War II inspired factions is that there isn't enough territory in the setting to go around. I mean we've got America, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etcetera. There are only a handful of habitable worlds,...
The thumbnails for the Admiral Hipper, Cosmo Messer F2, and the KM-3s missile are finished. A bit rushed but they all look decent enough, especially the F2. Have a look. I also squished the frames a little to give the subjects more screen space. Once again, I think...
It's pretty much finished. Unfortunately there are still some workshop related things I need to do and I don't quite have enough time for all of that tonight. Hopefully I'll have it sorted by tomorrow or sometime in the middle of the week, but if not, next weekend at...
Goodness, the Despotic Wars are a wild ride.
As for what those are, it’s a time period in Praedian history that encompasses around forty or so unique wars stretching over a three hundred year period. It’s a massive conflagration and the period’s relevance to the setting’s overall history approaches B.C. to A.D. levels. It also spawned two of the most powerful countries on the Zavodian continent, if not the entire world, and some of the latter wars reinvented some older technology while also inventing new things and pioneering new ways to fight wars. Even diplomacy evolves before everything is over and done with.
I was trying to decide what to post about when I got sidetracked thinking about the Despotic Wars. So I’ve been pacing around for a couple of hours exploring different conflicts and ironing out more of the time period. It’s been a good time, but I need to call it for the day. I’m taking it easy for this month since my birthday is coming up, but I don’t want to overdo it.
All that to say that if I get any ideas for a good personal story to cover during that time period in particular, I’m probably going to immediately jump on that. I’m not going to wait until Lydia’s Golden Treasury or Fleeing Victory are finished. I can chip away at other things while keeping to my monthly goals just fine if I’ve got a good idea going.
That’s all for now.

Okay so the Cosmo Messers aren't 100% compatible with the Yamato, so I wanted to modify one to be close to spec. I somehow wound up making a full-blown Cosmo Falcon. There I go, makin' replicas again I also did some side by side comparisons on an old request and Good...
Oh my goodness ... well, things may have slowed down exponentially compared to the first 24 hours of working on this thing, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been major progress. Check this out. The exterior is nearly finished (minus coloring) The catapults work...
