It looks a bit odd laying on the floor, but I’m happy. The chest needs to go, but I’ll get there

When buying groceries for the week, I thought about the granola bars I typically eat as snacks, and realized that a single serving of instant oatmeal was nutritionally equivalent (from a calories/fat/fiber, aka Weight Watchers standpoint), but would be much more filling / satisfying.
So that’s my experiment this week. A small cup of oatmeal at around 3pm, to get over that lunch -> dinner hurdle, and perhaps keep my mind from shutting off.

For a while now my big project has been sculpting my own clone trooper armor, based on the Clone Wars animated series. As of 3/21/2009, I feel that I’m at the 1/2 way mark.
I’ve now completed the helmet, arms and middle torso, along with holsters for those commander types that use them.
I’ve been retrofitting an Attack of the Clones style suit with Clone Wars parts as I go. The most recent change was the abdominal armor. I finished up the first pass sculpt and pulled a copy this weekend. Fitting that to my suit involved cutting a big round hole in the front of my chest armor. Pretty scary… there’s no going back after that! But I did it, and I think it’s going to look good.
I ran out of velcro, elastic, and all sorts of other staple items, so I wasn’t able to put it all back together. But I’ll get it in the next day or two.
Related to this, we’ve settled on a name for this little production: Watch City Armory. Watch City is the nickname of the city we live in, it’s simple, and it lends itself well to a logo design I’ve wanted to do.
There you have it. Pictures coming soon of the latest step in the Watch City Armory clone build!!
The work in progress is being documented here:

I’ve had a web presence of some sort for years… in recent times, I’ve faltered more than a bit when it comes to actually doing something with my site.
I post on a LOT of forums, mostly about projects I’m working on. But I haven’t really had a centralized location for everything… which brings us here.
I’m just trying this out. It may not stick, but this has potential.
Check out http://www.stormtrooperguy.com/workshop/ for details on my latest projects. The idea here is that the workshop will have the facts: pictures, steps, etc… and the comlink will have my thoughts about it, comments about what is coming next, all that good stuff.
I’ve got registrations and comments disabled. Yes, that makes things rather one sided, but for now that’s the idea.
