I've been feeling the itch to do another stand alone model. I comissioned some concept art for a mecha robot from David White. He has some great mech designs and has done tons of work for the Battletech line as well as some work with Transformers and a number of comics. www.mechazone.com is his website, any fan of big stompy robots should check it out.

As you are pretty much all aware of I've been posting my work on various gaming and modelling forums. I've always appreciated the feedback and comments you leave, it's a large part of what inspires me to keep at my work.

The day to day grind of casting work is tedious and dull, but what makes it worthwhile is seeing ideas transformed into reality and there's a sort of magic in being able to pour some resin into a mold and within minutes have it transformed into a piece of art. That part never gets old, nor does seeing the various conversions people create with those parts.
