Kind'a funny ya said that Greg, because I actually was 😆 Did some Metallica, Ozzy and a few others. I also did a leather jacket I use to wear with a skeleton riding a skeletonized bull back when I was a bouncer at a country bar in the 90's. Ah the good ol' days

It's huge. It was a 1/6 scale file that I bought to print it which is massive. So I scaled it down to 65% and it still is at probably at least 18"x18"x12"

Happens to all of us. For some reason it seems to happen in spurts. Past month I haven't had any issues at all, then the past 2 days it's been a 50/50 gamble as to if it happens or not.

After 1 full month worth of work I finally finished what I think is my best 3D print to date. This is the "get off the road" scene from Lord Of The Rings where the hobbits are hiding from the Ring Wraith. It's about 45 or so individual pieces that I had to print, then assemble/fill/sand/airbrush. Was a lot of work but I'm very pleased with the final product on this one.

Will hasn't really been active with FTF for probably at least 8 or more years now. He doesn't really tie or fish much anymore far as I know, but he still pays to bills to keep the place open for everyone which is really nice of him. We use to talk quite often and fish together every once in a while, but I haven't actually spoke to him in person for a number of yrs now. I believe all is okay with him, but just things in his life changed over the years is all.

Very cool Mike I love the swords.

First off Happy Easter everyone. Hope you all have a great time and dinner with loved ones. Just had to share that this Easter is 13 years smoke free for me. So glad after all the failed attempts over the years that I finally was able to do it and stick with it. If you are a smoker and want to stop, don't ever stop trying. I can't even count how many times I failed to quit till I finally was able to do it.
