I have completed my latest project and installed it as the new free sample on my homepage.  You can reach it easily from this blog by clicking home in the top menu.

The project is the Fallen Soldier Memorial.  The sample zip file contains all three styles in each of the three formats I normally use.  My standard license terms apply to this model just like the others, including that you may not distribute it.  However, if you want to share it with someone, all you have to do is provide a link to my homepage and let them download it from there.

M4 with bayonet is complete, Kevlar helmet is complete.  My nephew just sent me a picture of one of his boots so I’ll be using that to model.

Been a while since I updated this blog.  Life keeps interfering with my modeling, but I have been making progress.  I’ve just completed a component that I’ll be using in a larger piece, namely the M4 Carbine.  This thing was a monster to model, lots of blending curves.  The front sight was the single hardest part to model, and I eventually just decided that close enough will have to do.  I still need to model a bayonet for it but the rifle itself is done.

Next I’ll be modeling a K-pot followed by a pair of boots.  I don’t expect to have much trouble with the helmet but the boots could be interesting.  For this purpose they should be a worn pair of boots so I’ll have to model some sagging and wrinkles.

The crest for the 2nd Engineer Battalion (USMC) is complete and available on the site.

There will be a slight delay in the 68th Airlift Squadron crest because it’s been brought to my attention that certain officer rank insignia in the Navy/Marine Corps rank is not correct.  It’s correct according to the chart at www.defense.gov/about/insignias/officers.aspx but my source was insistent.  So my next task will be to create new rank insignias for those ranks in question and add them to the zips I have on the server.

The 12th Marine Regiment crest is completed and available for download.  Next up is the USAF 51st Logistics Support Squadron.  That shouldn’t take too long so I’ll be moving on to another Marine Corps crest then another Air Force crest.  I haven’t looked at the Marine Corps crests yet to pick the next one but I already know what I’m doing for the next Air Force crest.  Who could resist that mightiest of all fighting creatures, the pelican?

There isn’t much current progress.  I’ve completed the ship and I’m mostly done with the center emblem.  I’m currently working on the scroll work around it.  This kind of thing can take a lot of time if I don’t have a good hi-res picture, and in this case I doubt there is one with enough resolution to figure out what I’m seeing on the side scrolls.  I’m going to have to make something up that is close to what I’m seeing.  Sadly, at the size I expect these things to be cut the detail I’m putting in won’t be carveable, but I want to have it detailed enough to blow up for a sign.  Once I finish the scroll work the eagle is all that’s left to do.  I’m not getting much time on it, though.  I’ve only put in a few hours since my last update.  There’s a lot going on, and I can’t really justify putting other things off for something that no one has requested.
