2024 was easily the worst year of my life and a bit of that misery followed me into 2025. Fortunately, it's starting to taper off now. What this means for PR is that I'll be actively working on the site again. Posts will be a regular thing again, but I should point...

Begin (2024)
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...
Quick Update
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...
Cosmo Falcon Spotted (Yamato WIP)
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...
Yamato Progress
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...
Space Engineers: Space Battleship Yamato
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...
Prepping the Messer F for the Workshop
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 hydrogen thrusters and even ditched a few ions here and there, but the ship’s handling is still right where it needs to be, so I’m fine with this. I’ll need to take a few more photos tomorrow and maybe make a gif or two to show the subgrids in action, but that’ll be it.
As for the Hipper, she’s practically done, too, but the details of the ship are so numerous I don’t even know where to begin as far as a workshop description. I’m also scrapping the video idea for now since gifs are more cost effective and won’t require youtube or anything like that.
Looking back on all this, it’s kind of funny how much I write about all this workshop prep. I check out the most recent uploads every day and I see so many designs just tossed out there with no fanfare. Those ones don’t get much attention. I’m always honing in on blueprints from builders I recognize or at least have a good presentation.
That’s why that thumbnail is so important. It’s the first (and often only) thing people browsing the workshop are going to see, and along with the name of the blueprint on display, it’s all you’re going to be able to do to draw people in. That’s why I’ve got to make sure I get the right one and make sure everything fits.
Anyway, I’ll see if I can wrap things up tomorrow evening.
