20260108 Private’s Name Tag - Jim Rush's Home on the Web I finished both Private and Kowalski's name tags. I'll post Kowalski's shortly. Private's name tag wasn't too complicated once I decided what to do. I found a circus sign online and used it to trace t...

20250925 Barrel - Jim Rush's Home on the Web Barrel has been completed. Learned a few more things on this mask. I really need to design in hooks for things that hang. I epoxied hooks on all the masks, but Barrel's failed minutes after hanging. H...

20250921 Kowalski - Jim Rush's Home on the Web Life and other challenges slowed down the completion of Kowalski, but I'm happy with the results. I am a bit worried that the connection between the lamp shade (still) and the stage (barrel raft) hold...

20250929 Shock - Jim Rush's Home on the Web I was a bit disappointed as I finished Shock. It is much blander than Lock as there really isn't much coloring. I also discovered that the models were not originally proportionate. So, Shock is a bit ...

I've seen lots of YouTube channels with walking experiences. I wouldn't be shocked to find commute experiences. It's reasonably cheap content generation.
