All Outta Steam

It's the end of another year and as I look over my blog I find I never told the world about some of the things I'm willing to talk about. So here's to that:

I had continued development of Steam VR controller mods with the next Megaman buster:

The X-Buster

Since that one was basically just a re-skin I really wanted to try my hand at a more advanced model:

Lastly I made small progress on a medium model:

Low Tech Medium Plane

This year has been crazy. I'm still doing the damn thing and holding the seams together by a thread, I only hope I've made all the right decisions along the way and that I can continue to make the right decisions to keep moving forward and follow the dream. After all, "Everybody gotta have a dream." :)

A Quick Update on Slow Progress

I've spent the last few weekends mixing together more ancient aircraft to make combat vehicles for my teams, this time the red team will have pieced together the main body and wings of a WW1 German AEG G4, and the jet engines of a WW2 German Horten Ho 229. Looking back I tend to use a lot of older German designs to influence my own and I think it's just because they were really good at building interesting shapes and really pushing the design limits to get new properties in their planes.
With all that said, here's a silhouette test I threw together:

I so far have UV'ed the checkers texture onto the plane and then duplicated the body pieces over, but I think I'm ready to start rocking a rusty red paint job on there for the low tech's to head into battle.

Stay tuned and I'll have that up before too long.
