• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I know, hard to see. The last pic is a yucca in the foreground and a sprinkle of neighborhood lights in the background.

Do you like comic book characters? I do. This is the latest project to cross my workbench. It is 12" (30 cm) tall in total. 12 parts, making 5 sub-assemblies I can paint and then assemble when finished. 3D printed using FDM, so the pieces are very light.

ETA: I was curious so I got my kitchen scale out and weighed this statue. 479 grams. A 'smidgin' over a pound US.

I'm not finished. I'm just at a good point to stop. I can give it another week and as I think about it in the evenings during the work week, I can plan my next steps for detailing.

P.S. I have a model of Skeletor from Masters of the Universe on the way, as well as a statue of the movie poster from Conan the Barbarian (original).

Just stumbled upon a video that featured a map I made years ago. Definitely brings back memories from my ol' content creation days. It was designed as a stylized Western train station.

The tiny speck of light below the gray band is Earth as seen by the Cassini probe. The gray bands at the top are the Rings of Saturn. I believe the bright band toward the bottom is the limb of Saturn itself.

Model is done. Sealed with varnish and ready to make its trip with me to my campus office where it will sit on a shelf with other nerdy bric-a-brac like sci-fi models, Warhammer 40k figures, lightsaber replicas, and LEGO Star Wars ships.

Obviously I am NOT the 'leather elbow patches upon a tweed jacket' type of professor. LOL

Folks, I present to you the comic book character 'Spawn':
