Hey guys.
Well, another long and very successful day has come and gone, and yet again, I'm always more and more impressed with our progress. In case you guys didn't know, Jimmy's going to be moving away soon (very sad, I know) so our Brown & Decker work will become a little more sporadic. Nonetheless, we're going to try to keep up with it.
So the plan is, we figure we have a few more really good days to get in our work before the *Con. It's all coming to the wire.
Today started at seven (or eight, technically, I was late). I pulled into a gas station and grabbed us some energy drinks, and told the cashier that I was late for work. I'm proud to say that this is my full time job. The plan was to get our parts to the Gesso states.
For those of you who don't know, pink insulation foam LOVES to melt, chemically, literally. It dissolves with spray paint; it dissolves with super glue; it dissolves if you look at it on a Wednesday. If it weren't for the fact that it was super lightweight and easy to cut, we'd probably never use this. That's where Gesso comes in. I honestly have no idea what it's meant to do. As prop builders, we're the sort of in between people: We walk into electronics stores buying wires and switches with no intention of them ever having any functioning purpose. We also go to Lowe's and Home Depot buying materials and using them in ways that were never intended to be used.
God, I love my job.
Anyway, long story short, it was a good day. Lots of work. Really hot outside. Here's some pictures.
We next meet on Monday, and our plans are to FINISH THE PACKS. You can see they're getting close.

P.S. The bumpers are Hot Wheels tracks for bonus points.
