New video up! Just finished the massive project of restoring/rebuilding @lgr-yt.bsky.social’s destroyed Chaplet Halikan LA-30A. This was a big one 😅. Enjoy!

While I’m done for the year for videos, as we’re nearing the end of the year I’ll leave you with this one from last year (that’s actually one of my faves). Enjoy and wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy holidays! ❤️🎉

After months of work I’m putting the finishing touches on a new video and new… Restoration? Reproduction? Resurrection? You decide 😁

Another huge restoration project is slowly coming together… actually this one is as more like a complete reproduction 😅

Doing some color matching and texture tests for the final finish. That means the video isn’t too far away!

Stoked to be heading to VCF Midwest. I’ll be mulling around the floor all weekend so if you spot me, come say hi! I’ll be the middle-aged bald guy with facial hair… Can’t miss me.

So for the last 3 months, I decided to dive head first into the mouth of madness. Enjoy!

Crafting a Nostalgic Retro Case: Design & 3D Printing for BlueSCSI v2!
With the #BlueSCSI v2 out, I had to think of a good way to make it blend in to my retro setup and a custom case seemed like the right thing to do! I love App...
