  • Tail section completed

    Put some time in on the bommer this week. Spent three hours doing rivets on the tail before doing the final attachment. With this in place, it’s time to finish the tail section, blend in the tail wing and start finishing off the detailing. This marks the finish of the base shaping. I’ll need to…

  • Progress on Blasta Bommer

    Small spurts of progress, doesn’t look like much but wrapping plastic around a fuselage with compound curves is tough! I’ve got more of the transition between body and tail. It needs multiple layers of pcard to get it where I need it so I can put a proppa plating on it for skinning. It’s still…

  • Big Meks Give You Wings!

    Howdy folks! I’ve been putzing all week on the wings of the bommer but nothing worth posting. Would be pretty boring seeing one tiny thing each day… “Put hoses on today” “Put the engine brackets on today” “Put panels down but no rivets yet…” So I figured I’d save them up to show you something…

  • Gun Port Hatches Finished

    A little bit finished tonight. If I keep this up It might be done by 2013! Worked on the side gun hatches last night and tonight. Not much but something. 🙂 Later!

  • Ork Superheavy Blasta Bomma Brought Out of Mothballs!

    So I sliced my finger good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) the other day. It’s still thumping sore but works gotta go on, right? Here’s the cut… Doesn’t look like much in the photo at left, a small cut. What you can’t see very well in the photo is the deep…

  • Big Old Mixed Bag Today

    Sheeze, three days back on the bench and it shows me what for… Did something today I haven’t done in nearly 20 years – drove an exacto deep into my finger. One of those stupid things where two seconds before it happens you’re thinking… “YA know, if that slips it’s gonna go deep and hurt…

  • These boots are made for stompin’

    Slow progressd on the stormboyz, but progress none the less. I decided since I was using these to waste time until we move into the new house (which we got – probably another 30+ days before move in) I was going to use these to test and push myself. I want to try using a…

  • Stormboyz get some new clothes.

    Selling a house (selling it well, anyway) is hard work! Whew! Anyone know of anyone in the central Minnesota area in need of a nice 5 bedroom rambler with a lot of party space? Anyway, I still have some painting I can do while everything else is packed. A neat bonus is if I finish…

  • Incoming!!!!!

    Well. just about everything in the house is packed and it’s all staged and ready for showing at any time. Let’s hope it sells sooner rather than later! I was smart enough to leave myself something to do if I got a chance. Ten stormboyz and two mekboyz are all I’ve got to work on…

  • Ork Blasta Bommer Production Halted!

    On another note: work on the bommer will be temporarily halted. Now that you’re all done shouting… An exceptional opportunity for the missus and I to buy a different house has come up and things need to move quickly so the hobby room is getting packed up so the house shows better, which usually equates…
