Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
Here's the second illustration/design that I've kicked out this weekend. I do owe a big thanks to the Polysics. I was checking out their video for Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto on You Tube and I was motivated to do something based on that. Check them out. If you like Devo,...
Afro Gunso Metamorphosis!
Keroro returns! After sitting on the last Sgt. Frog art, I decided to revise and go for more disco.
Kicked in the Face By A Pony (Car)
Sometimes things start out really well and then it all goes to hell. That's this kit. It started out awesome. This was the first car kit, based on a real vehicle, in a few months and I wanted apply some of detailing techniques I had learned. First off, it's an '88...
8-bit Community, Dungeons and Dragons Mash-up
Here's an idea I've had in my head for the past couple of weeks. Based on the episode of Community, where the cast is forced to battle in an 8-bit world for Pierces' inheritance, and the wicked cool CBS Saturday morning 'toon, Dungeons and Dragons. After a few quick...
Flea market finds
Flea markets are a huge distraction for me anymore. It's always a mystery as to what I'll find and it's always cheap. Here's what I found today. A 1983 Mustang GT convertible Monogram kit. Sill new in the box, with the cellophane (which quickly went into the trash)....
Keroro Gunso, How I Learned to Love a Frog
Every now and then you come across something new, engaging and mysterious. It's new to you, but feels as if it's always been there. Why all the sentimental sentiments? I'm merely establishing the tone of this article. It will make the big reveal seem much grander....
What am I working on now?
Hey! I don't have enough time for a full update on what is on the work bench, but I'm going to post a quick gallery of what's under construction. Hey folks. Here's what's in the bench. The bastard of all models, a Shelby Cobra, Batmobile and an Imperial Speeder bike....

MAME Update
While this project is moving along slowly, it is making progress. For Christmas I ordered the X-Arcade Tankstick. They were having a great sale at the time, $150 for the trackball equipped 2-player tankstick. While I was originally going to buy all of my equipment...
Bigfoot, AMT reissue
This bad boy was just reissued by AMT from an old 1970's kit. I had no idea this kit existed but as soon as I saw it, I had to have it. A corny, savage, 8th grader point of view of Bigfoot. But, Bigfoot only exists in the mind of 8th graders, so this is as good as it...
Encounter With Yoda on Dagobah
Finally! A new kit 100% finished. This project has been in progress for about a year. It feels good to call it done. This kit has been in production since 1980, so it's a pretty common kit. I found this vintage kit, still in the cellophane, on eBay and won it for .99....
Macross/Robotech Imai Veritech fighter, Finally Finished!
YAY! This kit is FINALLY done. I corrected what I could and did the best I could muster. But, I grow weary of working on it and not having it completed. Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE this kit. But if I could start all over again, I could build it so much faster and...
Frankenstein Revell model kit
About the Kit Frankenstein. I guess this is a re-pop of the old Aurora monster kits. This guy has lots of information on the cool kits Aurora came out with back in the 60's and 70's, (professorplastik) While I'm not a huge Universal Monster fan, I do have an...
My MAME goals with this project

My first post and first project update!
To get everyone on board, these blogs are going to be about personal projects that I'll be working on. Since I am a graphic designer, every project is related to design somehow. My current obsession is building a MAME cabinet. If you don't know what MAME is, it's the...
