Just so we're clear, I am not cool with how things have played out. We're starting 4 years (minimum) of the worst that the worst can do to us. I'm not overly vocal on things, but if you (straight, gay, trans, black, white, etc) are cool with me, I'm cool with you. Always have been, always will be.

#Frieren and #Fern staffs I printed, painted and assembled for my friend's family for Halloween.

I'm trying to not be a grumpy older gamer, but seeing folks talk shit about MS and Sony and then suck up to Nintendo over a bunch of played out product lines when they've been just as crappy of a console company is actually somewhat hilarious in a "really?" kind of way.

Doscar came along for the ride at #sacanime this weekend.

It's been far too long, time to get things going again. #barracuda

After some trial and error with resin casting and resin 3d printing , I finally have some Vapaus bullets of my own. #nikke

Throttle cable assembly is installed and routed on the #Volvo #P1800, gotta finish installing the new exhaust system, a few other odds and ends to be sorted, and should be in position to get it fired up.

Further progress on the #fallout anti-material rifle from @galacticarmory.net ; first shot is what's currently glued together on the aluminum rods, second is with everything else taped in place. Looking forward to trying a method for woodgrain that I found, still trying to find a good metal paint.

To go along with the NCR Ranger helmet & backpack, also working on the anti-material rifle from @galacticarmory.net . Using 1/4" aluminum rod for the main body, 1/2" aluminum pipe for the barrel to reinforce it. It's not quite Red Hood rifle big, but it's still a big gun nonetheless. #props #cosplay

Progress on the #NCR Ranger helmet and backpack from @galacticarmory.net . Thinking I may try a bit of customization and give the helmet actual desert camo colors, need to find the right shade for it. The face part would likely still be weathered metal though. #3dprint #cosplay

Progress on the #volvo #P1800, rebuilt SU carbs are installed, as well as the new intake and exhaust manifolds. Changed out the mechanical throttle linkage for a cable drive. Need to install the rest of the new exhaust system and keep moving forward

Some recent things I've been working on: Red Hood's rifle from Nikke: Goddess of Victory, and a second attempt at the NCR Ranger helmet from @galacticarmory.net #3dprint #cosplay #props

A dollop of Doros. #nikke #3dprint #doro

A nice black base coat on the @sksprops.bsky.social demon samurai mask really makes a gold coat pop. #3dprint

Had a lucky break (ha!) while working on the #Volvo #P1800. After getting the intake and exhaust off, bumped against the oil pressure sender hose (black tube hanging) & it snapped clean off. Luckily this happened now & not on the road, or that would've been potentially catastrophic engine failure.

Printed @sksprops.bsky.social samurai demon mask on my X1C after seeing his YouTube short about it. Sent it to the printer at night & it was ready in the morning. I'll put a few coats of filler primer on, do a quick sand, then pick through some of the paints I've got to give it a look.

The #Volvo #P1800 is back in the garage after some time being stowed away outside. Got someone working on rebuilding the original carbs, and going to start swapping in the new parts I've picked up. Hoping in a month or two it'll be running so I can get the brakes and suspension checked out.

#3dprint progress of the @galacticarmory.net #mythosaur skull for a friend. Holy moly this thing is big.

That's the #Rocketeer helmet done~. Will work on the jet pack when the weather gets drier. #3dprint #cosplay

Sadly, ShiftUp doesn't have a #Nikke presence on Bluesky (& still insists on using Twitter for contests & social media). That's not going to stop me from saying on here - HOLY F*CK, ShiftUp, why are your writers so cruel while so good?! The #GoddessFall event story was amazing & heart wrenching!

My entry for @galacticarmory.net Trench Crusade contest. Didn't win, but with ~200 entries & some seriously stiff competition (& life throwing a number of issues up while underway), getting into the top ~1/4 - 1/5 of the results by votes is big effing win in my book. Hope more contests will happen!

I miss playing @guildwars2.com , haven't played in probably 2 years, mainly cause life has strained me so much that I wouldn't be able to sit back & enjoy it. I still have to finish the post-End of Dragons content, but I am so buying the new expansion so it's ready for me when I'm ready for it.

I am so stoked with how this is turning out! #3dprint #halloween

Well .. I'm streaming. Doing some tweaks to some of the designs I've been working on before slapping them around so they can be print/cut. twitch.tv/artofmrdicks I'm LIVE til I'm not. See ya there.

The #halloween candy skull getting a trial run in at work. #3dprint

Oven-bake clay made to look like a wax seal, with a spritz of semigloss clear coat on top. #cosplay #propmaking

Neat little detail I just found in my 2025 #SilveradoEV

Oddball~ #3dprint #halo

Did some first pass weathering while I still had some light to work with (which didn't last long). #3dprint #cosplay

Adding a M1 combat knife to the list of printed items for the #ODST cosplay project, model by @galacticarmory.net #3dprint #Halo #youcallthataknife

Some SMG underway for my ODST. #3dprint #halo #ODST Had to print the suppressor at a 45 degree angle to not have support material clog up the barrel and threads, first time trying out that method and it worked out great. Gun model from @galacticarmory.net

Feeling better about this project now that I've got it looking like this. Next up will be clear coating, glueing on the cross, and then it's time to sort out the rust and grunge. #trenchpilgrim #trenchcrusade #3dprint #galacticarmory

No matter which way you choose to go, it's going to be #feetfirstintohell
