It’s my nephew’s 10th bday, which is old enough for his own tool kit! Got a soldering iron, heat gun, rotary tool, hot glue gun, etc. And of course the first Foamsmith book from Punished Props!

Paddle boarding was a blast but I forgot my legs needed sunscreen too…

Ya gotta capture those moments!

Working on a proof of concept today. Hopefully it works as well in real likes as it does in my head!

After making one pot in concrete, I wanted to see if I could fake the look with Free Form Air from @smoothon.bsky.social A quick wash with thinned carbon black Maker Pro Paint brought out the details! #maker #makersgonnamake #epoxy #epoxyclay #mold #molding #casting

Jackie found this cheap plastic pot that she liked the shape of. So I molded it in Rebound 25 and then did a hand packed casting with Buddy Rhodes Artisan Mix concrete. Easy stuff to work with! #concrete #casting #molding #maker #makersgonnamake #siliconemold

Look what Jackie got me! Written by the guy who made the pack, with his own personal photos of the build process!

This is Togi, one of the lovely neighborhood cats (we TnR’d him). He likes to hang out by my shop door when it’s cool enough to keep it open. 10 out of 10 A+ shop buddy!

Hey cool kids, I’m going to be in Seattle starting Wednesday. I’m going up to help the Seattle Reynolds Advanced Materials run their Emerald City Comic Con booth. If you’re going to the con swing by and say hi, or hit me up to hang out after the exhibit hall closes.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Had a blast last night at Phantom Fox & BRI. Celebrating the day of my big Four-Zero with lobster & wagu ramen from Mensho!

My favorite: Corn flavored Corn!

The final clay up and Free Form Air jacket on the RGB Proton Pack….. before I dropped it 🥲

Athens is a beautiful city, the ruins of the Acropolis and the Parthenon are amazing, and everybody is so nice to the cats!!!

And sometimes you drop your project and curse alot at work….
It’s fixable but damn I’m annoyed!

Going to finally (after close to 10 years of dinking with it) do a proper mold of my hand built Real Ghostbusters Proton Pack. I used the move pack dimensions for the scale, because the cartoon had the size all over the place! Starting the clay up for a cavity pour mold.

Casted a latex mask at work (not my sculpt) and painted it with Maker Pro Paint and its Flex additive. Works great!
