So while I'm at school, I work at the on-campus composites center. I will preface my comments by saying I sweep floors and wash windows, so I'm not really bragging about anything. The facility has gained defense contracts from the military, is engineering cutting-edge bridge designs using lightweight carbon fiber tubes, and was just recently awarded $90+ million in federal and private grants for their proposed offshore wind turbine design. And this is hanging in the lab. Doing it right.
Cool that we get the chance for another fun majhost scenario. Though at least all the pics are all still there, just unable to be embedded without P A Y M E N T.

Then I realized I could easily substitute in some other pieces. so tadaaa It'll be done-done as soon as I can get the eyebrows and that white piece in black.

Unlike those, however, the story only spanned one season and it seems like not as many people remember it. Having bought and read "The Art of Oban Star-Racers" gave me a new appreciation of the effort put into this show. And before that, I'd managed to snag a couple of t-shirts from the Oban Fan Sh
Looking to build this fella, have the body basically worked out but hit a massive wall when it comes to the head. Anyone know of any good techniques for things like the hair? Or even the head overall. It should be about 1.5x-2x the size of the average Kanohi to be accurately scaled to the body.
