a 1/18 scale Joy Toy Space Wolf confronts a 3d printed 'Chuck' dreadnaught

side project to keep me busy- another designer had made a cool RT era Dreadnaught and I converted it into a 1/18 scale version with ball and socket and hinge joints to go with my Joy Toy figures... (ball/socket version of the files are unavailable as I dont own the rights to the OG model- sorry)

Not been posting lately as I took the week off my next project and farted around with a pet project of a friend (turn a stl figure he had into an action figure with ball and socket joins). In all honesty Im not sure Im going to enjoy social ANYTHING much less media seeing the state of the world...

Looks great! Honestly all 3d design is at its heart is perseverance- put enough time and effort in and you eventually get the desired results

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

So I mostly post about my art here. But every now and then I also share about things that matter to me or those I love. No apologies for that.

nyc went from β€œmask up” to β€œyou do you” to β€œmasks need to be banned” and now people think this is a joke.

3d sculpted figures in a comic strip format:
Text- As the battle ends...

Any Last words?   (A soldier coughs and gasps as he is held aloft by his throat by a giant of a man in armour)
Perhaps beg for your lives and ask for mercy?

No... (the soldier replies) we are through begging for things...

So be it... (says the man in armour)

Hospitals are killing patients because they don't feel like doing infection control We now know COVID is fully airborne. We also know how to control airborne disease. So why are vulnerable people still dying of hospital-acquired COVID?

I once suggested we needed to find out WHY there was a cover up if nothing was there- only to have Dem Stans tell me I was clearly a Republican supporter. It gets a huge laugh from my friends as anyone who knows me has heard how I feel about R politics- showed me fanatics are a both sides problem

3d sculpted character in a 3d environment (Blender)

-If I use a rake to pick up these leaves it will take all day.  This just wont do at all...
-There comes a time in every mans life-
-where his problems can only be solved with a ray gun.

My take on a iconic character. I wouldnt say he is my hero, I think if anything my 'hero' of that genre setting would be either Doc Hammer or Jackson Publick - love what they created

Another one of my short comics- these were more tests of concept than actual stories. My previous comics were done by shooting the physical miniatures and then photo editing and I wanted to see if this was any easier (its not lol- both take substantial efforts to do)

Taking most of the month off work to spend my time with my wife as her health has really spiraled as of late. It means I dont have a whole lot of new content to display so I will be sharing some old images- this was a 3 figure set I did along with a variety of terrain elements

Im dont identifying with any party-I identify with issues and the integrity around the things I value. I can honestly say I dont see much integrity in any party politics these days. Yes, some ARE much worse than others but the ideal amount of 'turds in a hot tub' is zero and thats what I support

Is Elon Musk Manipulating Xitter’s Algorithm? Is BlueSky Better? I’ve noticed that since the 2024 US elections, more and more of you have asked me if I have joined a social media network other than Xitter, and 99% of the time, you’ve asked specifically if I’m on…

Evidence is mounting that Elon Musk manipulated the X/Twitter algorithm to boost his own posts as well as those of prominent conservatives. I talk about a new pre-print, and whether or not BlueSky is our savior πŸ§ͺ skepchick.org/2024/12/is-e...

'You're not protected,' ethics expert warns people who participate in privately funded research | CBC News Ethics experts say Canadians should think twice about becoming research participants, because the federal body that holds universities accountable to ethical standards has no jurisdiction over privately funded studies.

Explains a whole lot sadly :/

"Most of the disabled people I know who have long Covid probably read more studies about it than most doctors."

Whewww this whole article is great but a lot of y'all need to internalize this line.

Yes, most of us know more than your doctor about long covid. That's not hubris talking. That's facts.

β€œDon’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
