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...
I'm currently working on the Cosmo Messer F2 and the Ts. The F2s are just an upgraded, printable version of the original F model (henceforth referred to as the F1). Aside from having exposed hydrogen tanks on the ventral side and an offset connector to compensate,...
I ran out of time to work on the thumbnail for the Messer F workshop upload, but I did manage to iron out one last issue with the build. I managed to cover up the inside of the landing gear socket so the internal thrusters aren't visible. I had to relocate a few...
I set aside a little every month for a few book purchases, and for this month I picked up another three.
Star Wars, like so many other megacorp IPs, is basically dead, but for me, it only makes the Legends continuity that much more attractive. That’s not to say everything in Legends is good, but Legends is more to me than just a treasure trove of ‘content’ ranging from okay to fantastic. Legends is the eventuality of a beloved franchise being constantly worked on for decades.
That’s worth delving deep into and trying to understand.
As for a Throne of Bones, I started listening to this gem as an audio book over a year ago, but I’m well out of that phase now. I just can’t listen to stories while I’m doing other things and enjoy it anymore. I don’t even enjoy reading stories off of computer screens or tablets unless it’s manga or something similarly slanted toward the artwork.
For novels, I just really want to have the thing in my hands and not glowing, you know?
At some point I’ll start on these and get back to the blog about them.
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...
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...
M.A.S.S. Builder - What’s Next 0.11.0 - Steam NewsFirst of all, before anything else, we must announce that we’re shifting our development engine to Unreal Engine 5 for the next version. Now now, we must ask that you don’t panic and assume the game is going into a...
Project Wingman - BETA BRANCH UPDATE #1: Platform Update 2.0 - Steam NewsProject Wingman Beta Branch Major Update This is big news, but it didn't show up in my feed until well over a week ago. Toss in how busy I am and I'm only now getting around to writing about it....
