Hi Zealots. Adun Toridas, and all that jazz.
I 'spoze it's about time I introduced myself.
I'm like that guy from that 1973 Temptation's song, Plastic Man: "He's a jack of all trades, and a master of none." (That's all you really need to know.) I got myself a BS in Mech Engineering and an EIT License. Then I went flitting off to art school, grabbed an AA in Fine Arts, studying photoshop, digital darkroom, canvas, watercolor, etc. (If you wanna see my recreational gallery, just google my name.)
For a long time I wanted to become a 3D digital sci-fi model sculptor. Then I wanted to be a competitive tut/popping/krump dancer on the side. Then I wanted to become a robotics engineer. Then I wanted to earn membership in a watercolor society. Then I wanted to become an optical engineer. Now I know with absolute certainty
that I want to be a model maker.
For my current job, I had to learn a lot about model-making techniques. Does the zealot demographic include model makers? I don't mean card models (though I like what I see). I mean actual tiny reciprocating machinery, or scale homes with bonsai where the oak would be. How about wax sculpting & plaster casting?
Anyhoo, I've always wanted to make legit RC vehicles for fun, so I'll be sure to pick your collective brains for advice on that later on.
Peace,
- Fatal-Noogie

, I have built a few engineering models but nothing to elaborate. I mainly build plastic scale models and paper models more now. I have built and raced RC cars and dabbled in RC planes too, I guess that makes me a "Jack of all hobbies"
