Hi there everyone,
I got to feeling like my lurking was starting to border on the unhealthy, so I've decided to come clean and declare my love for all things props.
I grew up thinking that being a model-maker for films would be a pretty awesome job, but by the time I was finishing school it ws all being taken over by computer animation, and so I went in that direction for a while. If I'm to be perfectly honest, it sucks the soul right out of you, and at the end of the day you have nothing tangible to show for it. After a few years I went into print-design, and that's what I find myself still doing today. It's a living, and to be honest, I really like the smell of fresh printing ink on paper - I know, weird right?
A friend of mine got me into Nerf blasters about a year ago. We were at a loose end one day, so we went to a toy store and bought a couple of blasters to terrorize our work-mates with - my first was a Hammershot which, incidentally, I just finished painting a few days ago. But that wasn't my first mod - I kinda went a bit crazy and bought a small armoury, and now I'm slowly working through them all one at a time...
