The Apartment Workshop

I'm a physics graduate student that likes to do things with my hands. I don't have much room to work in my apartment but I make the most of it. I most do woodworking and carving, but I've recently started working with foam. I want to show people what you can make with limited tools and space.

Time to go back to my roots and do some carving

It's finally done! It turned out better than I hoped for for my first ever cosplay! I wore it at shutocon and got a lot of pictures taken.

Instead of making my own design, I found a layout of N7 armor online. This is great, except that caused me to spend all day cutting a lot of paper to get the patterns to fit me.

Time to start some N7 armor!

Main construction of my N7 helmet is done. Just needs a some detail work then on to painting.

Vash's pistol is done! It turned out a bit less shiny than I wanted, but still looks great.

Vash's pistol is built. Tomorrow is gap filling and painting

Back to working with foam. I'm making Vash the Stampede's pistol from Trigun

Time for another spoon. The spiral handle is going to take forever.
