Throwback Thursday!
This is a blast from the DISTANT past.
Full disclosure, I had only a small role in the making of Thor's armour and weapons. I would say about 97% of the work was attributed to the genius of Luke Apker.
Still, even if I only had a small role, it's a joy to say I was a part of that little bit of history.

Throw Back Thursday!!!

I threw this away years ago but Christina pulled it out of the trash and stashed it away, and I am grateful.

This bit of nostalgia was my first bascinet. I think I was 19 when I made it, which makes it...well....old.

Humble beginnings!

As much as I love the challenge of armour, I love challenges of ALL types!
My friends from fotospark.net challenged me to design a stanchion that could house their 360° camera, emit it's own light source, and do so all on it's own independent power source.
Challenge accepted and successfully met!
Fun job! Good People! GREAT concept!

I love the mechanics of armour. This is the interior of the bevor (neck and lower face protection).
As it articulates through the open and closed position, the liner strips easily drop out of the way and resist crashing due purely to the geometry.
It's the simple pleasures in life.

I was complaining about losing the feeling in my fingers from doing so much intricate hand sanding. Now the feeling has returned and that feeling is pain.
I long for the time when I had no feeling.
There really is no pleasing me, is there? 😉
