New Model Added

I’ve just finished uploading the US Army Signal Corps crest.  Note this is a crest, not a branch insignia, so it is on the DUI page not the branch page.  The remaining queue: Naval Flight Officer wings, Navy Supply Corps insignia, Fleet Master Chief, Force Master Chief, 480th ISRW crest, 2nd ID patch, 76th Infantry Brigade Combat Team patch, 82nd Security Forces Squadron patch, semi-custom LDO Mustang plaque, USS Columbus crest, USS Hawaii crest, USS Asheville crest, USS Louisville crest, USS Columbia crest, USS Texas crest, USS North Carolina crest, USS Bremerton crest, USS Santa Fe crest, USS Tucson crest, USS Mississippi crest, USS Cheyenne crest, USS Jacksonville crest, USS Charlotte crest, USS Greeneville crest, USS Buffalo crest, USS Olympia crest, USS Jefferson City, US Army Instructor badge, 130th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade patch, 27th Intel Sq crest, 497th ISR Group crest, Strategic Sealift Officer badge.  Items in italics have deadlines and will likely not be done in the order listed.  Note this queue is re-ordered.  I’m going to attempt to complete the first four in the list tomorrow and the fifth one Friday.  After that it will be several days before another upload.

Queue Update

The queue is getting pretty deep.  At this point we’re looking at months in the future for anything requested.

I work the requests in the order received, unless someone has a deadline to meet in which case that job will be moved up to meet that deadline ahead of other jobs that don’t have deadlines.  The other reason I may not work in the order requested is when the queue gets like this I’ll sometimes cherry pick out the easiest ones to knock the queue down a little bit.  I’ll be doing that this week.  I have two that are modifications of existing models and a few that I already have most of the pieces made which I’ll be knocking out, so those will be getting done out of order.  The signal corps crest is almost done, I just need to finish feathering the eagle and make his toes so I’m planning to finish that today.  With luck I’ll get that and a couple more uploaded tonight.

Also, a quick note on deadlines.  When you give me the date you need it, don’t give me the date you have to deliver the finished product to your customer, give me the date you need the model to start working on your product.  I have no idea how fast your machine can cut 3d, if your z can move like a sewing machine you can really rip through a 3d model.  I also don’t know if you’re going to do a french polish or spray some poly out of a rattle can to finish or something in between.  (If you do a french polish on a 3d model shoot some video, I’d love to see that.)  Bear in mind that if you tell me you need it on August 1st I’ll do my best to have it to you before midnight on that date, so if you need to start cutting it on August 1st you need to tell me July 31st.

Wrist Update

I got the diagnosis back and it’s not carpal tunnel.  It’s arthritis of the joints at the base of the thumb and fifth finger, so basically I’ll be taking an nsaid and using cold packs and resting it more.  I think the days of me pumping out 5 models in one day are probably over.

Bottom line, if you have a tight deadline for a project I may not be your guy.

Two New Models

I’ve just completed the upload on 8th Engineer Support Bn crest and Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne).  Up next, 11th Airborne Div patch, HSC-4 crest, Navy Aviation Maintenance Administrationman (AZ), Signal Corps crest, and Naval Flight Officer wings.

Little update on my carpal tunnel, I’ve seen a doctor and had x-rays taken, haven’t heard anything back after the x-rays yet but that was just Thursday.  I imagine I’ll hear something in the next couple of days.  In the mean time I’m still working on this stuff but I’m very slow.
