The "Beer Flu" (can't say the 'c' word) has really affected business. Lots of order cancellations...and I can't say I blame people. Schools have been closed so there has been a lot of home schooling. Toilet paper can't be found in any store...not sure why people are hoarding toilet paper for a respiratory flu.
Personally, I have been battling a deep funk...can't seem to shake it.
I invested in an AnyCubic Photon S 3D printer with a lot of support from a patron. It worked for about 2 months before the cooling fan died, then the LCD died, now the touch screen has crapped out. Overall it has turned out to be a piece of shite. I then invested in an Elegoo Mars and couldn't be happier.
MECHS
Two commissions are in progress at this time. There is a Stalker that is going to have elements from the MWO version and the Classic and the Stalker II. Here are some pics....
I also made an Urbanmech. Unfortunately, when I created a poll on the Facebook page to gauge potential buyers, only a couple people were interested so the Urbie is going into a box and in the closet.
I tried 3D printing a Shilone Aerotech fighter but it came out closer to 1/100 scale. No one, again, seemed interested so that is back in a box.
Then I moved on to a vanity project...the Mackie. I was 3D printing one based on the drawing below. However, when I posted pictures of the progress of my print I was contacted by a 3D artist asking where I got the files. When I told him he was able to show me that the 3D file I had was one he created that one time use type of thing and the person I commissioned to do it had no permission to share the file so yet another project shelved.
OTHER WORK
I was commissioned to do some 3D prints for the Fallout table top game. I printed an APC for a client and I also printed and molded/cast some kind of car based on a file the client sent. I have a couple copies of the sedan if anyone is interested.
With the 3D printer, I can finally have ships I always wanted. I have made a couple Macross ships and one from a video game. Nice.
And since all the restaurants and stores were closed during our anniversary, I decided to give my wife a Corona...she wasn't amused.
Finally, if anyone comes across this kit, let me know. It is a Grail Kit of mine and I can't find it anywhere....
Carry On Mechwarriors...
