    So name of the day is guns. Well one gun. Well okay half a gun. Um well one of the 2 barrels of the gun... 'cept it's 5 barrels of the total of 10... anyway. I'm working on the Vulcan Mega-bolter. Specifically the barrels for it. I used a process similar to the pistons to make these barrels...

    The Titan continues to take shape! Now I'm working on the main body. As you can see I've got the Mesh covering that I made previously mounted atop the central body. The right power plant and shoulder wing have been assembled. I added additional details to the back of the power plant with a vent...

    I think I am going to just use screen mesh rather then this. If you want to give it a shot, something I thought of a little while ago. Use some sort of spray adhesive, or clear coat on the netting before you cut the excess from the frame. My thinking is that using the adhesive/clear coat will...

    So I'm pretty sure I'm just self destructive. or just a streak for self torture. One or the other. Why have I come to this conclusion? Well I wanted to have exposed grating over internal workings. I like the look of it and I think it helps carry the in-accurate nature of Chaos War gear. Normally...

    In a lot of ways loosing my job has turned out to be a good thing. Firstly it opened my eyes to abuse I was being subjected to. Secondly, my sister came through and got me some temp work in a completely different industry which helped undo a lot of damage from working Retail so long so I'm in a...

    So I should have done some perusing around here before I started (I also blame you Zathros) as I just now discovered Berco's WIP thread from when he was working to revamp the very template I started from to produce a more detailed Ultramarine Titan. Of course now that I've discovered his updated...

    So... what's the point of show rooming if you're not show rooming what you buy? No plans on LEDs, at least not in this particular build. Like I said, this started as a project of boredom. Not even really sure I'll paint this one. At this point it's a build it because I can kind of situation...

    part of the issue I developed with Best Buy was they changed the way my particular position with Geek Squad was handled so I went from having a client advising role to a sales role. And when I say sales role, I mean if you compared my job to a PC sales job the only difference was my uniform and...

    In a lot of ways being fired has turned out to be a blessing. I didn't really appreciate it while I was working there, but I was being abused in my job. My sister came to the rescue and got me some short term work with her company. Working for a company in an industry where I'm not a 20 year vet...

    So, life changes come up and I recently had a big one. Namely I was fired from my job. Not going to mix up this thread with a bunch of sob-stories or explination but I have decided to focus on school and finish my degree rather then getting steady work again. So what does this have to do with...

    Oh I have no doubt you know what you're talking about, I am somewhat unclear as to what you are bringing up the point of a 3D Design program though. Like I've said elsewhere, I presently work retail as my main job and we're heading into the christmas season. Add to that my own classes I am...

    ... I have basically no idea what you just said, Zathros. I mean save for the "I don't like .pdfs for models" I understood that part. The rest of it... I'm assuming Rhino 3D is some sort of 3D Construction program. Never actually heard about, and have basically no training in 3D design of any...

    Hello fellow modelers!

    Honestly, just Zathros' mention of using different stocks based on what part of the model is being built made a difference.

    and guess who's back with a new update just in time for the holiday! As I said last time, I'd had an accident while working on the Excalibur card board mock up which resulted in a destroyed model. It was a bit of a bitter-sweet kind of screw up since on the one hand, I had to start over on the...

    F-103 Excalibur (Wing Commander)

    so a so-so update today. I haven't finished taking measurements yet, and I'm still working on that front. What I do have is a partial card board mock up of the forward fuselage. This is little more a simple mock up with the basic measurements I've got already. Not complete. This is meant to be...

    Okay, so I know its been... well more then a month since I last updated. I work retail, retail service at that. So we're gearing up for the ever so fun Christmas season, OH and Corporate decided that the middle of October was the perfect time to roll out a new operational model. So yeah, that's...

    [Had to split post due to length] See in digital graphics you have 2 types of graphical engines each with their benefits and minuses to design. The first is known Raster graphics, or sometimes referred to has bit-map pictures. This format uses individual colors dots to render an image. The more...
