I've decided that part of moving to Bluesky really does require me to leave Twitter/X. With that in mind I'm going to move some nostalgic posts of my favorite projects and moments I posted over there before closing the account. Hope you enjoy

First test with the PC in the car!

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Apr 30

PC built (nearly), lol!

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Apr 27

PC chassis prototyping complete (hopefully) time to make the final product 😄

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Apr 27

So apart from a dozen small tweaks I think that this works

I'm super-proud to show off our latest JRDF project: the stunning entrance for CIG's Manchester studio, bringing #StarCitizen's New Babbage to life. Sleek design, integrated services, and game-accurate detail.

Thrilled to share some of the artwork that
@hasgaha.com and I created for the @jrdf.bsky.social Saber Raven 1:100 model kit! Check out a few pieces from the instruction booklet and box art - we had a blast bringing this to life.

Also, if you look closely in the background of some of the IRL b-roll shots, you'll be able to see some things I helped make for the Cloud Imperium Games Manchester studio.

Oh and @jrdf.bsky.social was there too, I guess.

@robertsspaceind.bsky.social my workshop is looking like a real shipping hub today lol

Amazing last day at COTA. Was fantastic to bring the JRDF magic from @kalswilde.bsky.social @joshderr.xyz @darjanator.com to another Aipex Code 19 test day. Crazy to see how the setup has evolved in only 5 months!

#Code19Racing and the JRDF UK team have been *quite* busy equipping this #McLaren Artura with the AI and sensors necessary for autonomous racing data capture. And of course making it all look awesome.

Well the wooden car jig worked a treat! Fits on the car very nicely!

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Dec 6

Heresy detected!

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Dec 6

I really hope this doesn't mean you are in the UK while I'm in Austin (I.e. now) lol? That would suck, I was going to invite you to come play with race cars at COTA

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Dec 6

Amazing view of cheer up Charlie's from our Austin hotel! City is looking good

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Dec 4

Nice!

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Dec 4

So how do make a rig fit a McLaren roof as perfectly as possible? Since buying a car wasn't an option, we went for plan B, 3D scanner, 3D printer & CNC lol

JR @jrdf.bsky.social · Dec 4

youtube.com/shorts/rcsYc... lol, behold the Frankenstein monster known as "Eagle 1" this was our first iteration of our sensor car rig. It was bulky and a bit ugly but many lessons were learned. We're heading to Austin tomorrow to give "Eagle 2" it's first outing! Watch this space.

Eagle 1 prototype making laps in the UK. Upgrade Eagle 2 on the way!

Nice! I am right behind you once I've moved a few things across! Been fun finding photos that I don't have in Google hidden in my Twitter past lol

"blast from the past Twitter migration post 2" First paid commission from @robertsspaceind.bsky.social, building the furniture for the Star Citizen 2017 GamesCom stand. I worked for an events company called Scenegineering at the time, so it was all done in their workshop in Glasgow. Long nights! Lol
