Losing grip – Comfortably uncomfortable
Yo! Long time no write, I hope you’ve missed me. In between contemplating whether or not to to migrate and easy methods to present for my household once I give up my current job in three months, I’ve spent a while dreaming up my subsequent physique. Nothing like portray to settle my thoughts when it has been crowded with Big Thoughts and Major Considerations.
Truth is I’ve three our bodies to color, two Subaru BRZs and one Lexus, all of them from Killerbody RC. Bit of a mistake, I solely meant two order two, however apparently hit the fallacious backside. Never thoughts although, they’re nice our bodies and I’ve bought loads of concepts for them.
Naturally, all my concepts will take me outdoors my consolation zone, as per the same old routine. Regular readers will know that I prefer to push my portray expertise. As must you! Seriously, it’s like going to the fitness center – staying snug gained’t get you wherever. Thinking of it, that goes for lots of issues in life generally. Progress very often takes a little bit of discomfort.
You would possibly keep in mind the phoenix I did some time in the past? That was a complete new factor to me, combining airbrushing and brush work. I fairly prefer it, it was a bit like lastly getting dwelling. Finding my fashion, utilizing all of my ability set in a approach that I had by no means tried earlier than. For a primary attempt of a brand new approach, I’m pleased with it, however there are issues that in hindsight I may have performed higher.
Hence, say hiya to what’s to change into the Redcat Dragon. A extra superior design that began in Bing’s AI, was completed in Photoshop and is now to go on the hood of a 1/10 Subaru BRZ. A jet of fireplace on the edges.
That must be an actual ache to understand on polycarbonate! Also, lots of enjoyable. To make it much more enjoyable, I’ve a brand new airbrush (my third…) that I’m going to check out. It’s a Bittydesign Caravaggio that prices half of my Iwata Eclipse HP-CS and fewer than a 3rd of my Harder & Steenbeck Infinity. I anticipate it to show to be lots of bang for the buck. Mainly, it has an even bigger needle than the opposite two (0.5mm versus 0.35 and 0.2 respectively), that ought to make protecting giant areas loads simpler.
In every week, I hope to point out you some early progress. Write a line and need me luck at martin at bigsquidrc.com
