I make things.
While browsing various medical symptoms on my phone the Google AI had a bit of a moment when it tried to understand heart palpitations. I found it funny but this is also why I block Google AI on my computers browser because its hot garbage.

I might start selling wood cubesat frames on my shop. The frame is still experimental, but it's easily customizable, lightweight and cheaper then other cubesat frames (aluminum ones are $1000+ where I can sell this for $400 - $500). Can also work with balloons or as a test frame for a conventional build. So if someone wants to take a chance on it why not?

I highly doubt I'll ever sell one but hey, you never know.

My last custom model order was for a 7 foot tall minuteman I ICBM. I love seeing the finished models fully painted and with decals. Like the Dyna-Soar, I just made the model, the client printed and painted it.

Although I mostly sell miniatures, I do offer a selection of 1:1 scale items, such as a full size M388 Davy Crockett nuclear bomb, A Soviet Prop-M Mars rover, Soviet mag fed laser pistol (fully articulated) and STL files to print your very own Demon Core!

This is so real, Before it's launch I thought I didn't care about Artemis. But turns out when spaceflight is devoid of SpaceX it's actually cool again and makes me feel that wonder I thought I lost. I now actually care about this mission a lot.

Also excited for China's moon missions, Spaceflight is so much better without tech bros.

The little infinite dungeon crawler roguelike game ive been working on since last year is starting to really come together. Originally just an artistic distraction because ive not done a fantasy game yet, I've grown to feel pride in it.

How the email found me:

In the small fantasy game ive been working on it has a style to it, as if it was drawn on paper. To make item and character sprites look the way I want I make line art then trace bitmap in inkscape with maximum smoothing. Unfortunately I worry people will think it's AI. It has that look about it.

The Boeing space plane model I made for the same client that ordered the Dyna-Soar came out great. I always love seeing my models fully painted and ready for display.
