                        Real life threw me some curve balls as of late but I'm still hereBlack Eye [B)]Tongue [:P] Last night was the first I've even been able to work on anything and all my old projects are in storage so I made do with what I had. I started work on a 1:35th scale Cylon Raider from the new BSG. I have one of the wings shaped but still need to detail it. Its not much but its a start. With what it took to get the one wing to this stage I would guess on about another 12 hours of build time to see it done.

                        Anyway heres the start of my                         New Cylon Raider

                        I got to ask, why plexi? Or polycarb? I'd think it'd be a pain to work with (as in hard).

                        It is called "hard medium sculpting" and it was something I wanted to try out on a scale project. The plexi is not all that bad to work with.

                        Just curious. Thought it might just be like me. I have it laying around so why not.

                        Yeah some of that to. So long as the supply holds out I'll be fine. If not I'll have to start using those rocks laying around the yard.Laugh [(-D]

                        I've been gone for about a month myself.

                         I'm glad I poped in great work Matt!
