I found a cheap but good little computer to keep out by the printers and the laser cutter.
Surface Pro 3 with a docking station.
Gonna network connect both PCs and then I can work on designs inside with the more powerful machine and then run them off the surface out in the shop

Added to the other submarines
Itβs done!
All my glass cabinets have been relit and inventoried.
That empty spot in the middle is for the Nacelle Companyβs wave of Expanse figures π
#GeekDen
Last cabinet inventoried! This has been a ridiculous project. If you collect, star keeping an inventory as soon as possible.
Also Iβm finding I have not been that great about adding things when they arrive, gotta do better. I donβt want to have to go through it all to ensure parity.

Citadel pin with an R
Citadel pin with an M over the R
#mailcall, still reeling from the fun experience of binging Rock and Morty not long ago I found these two Citadel Council of Ricks and Council of Mortys pins on eBay.
There is some really exceptional scifi story telling in that whole arc and Iβm excited to add these to the #GeekDen
Second to last display cabinet inventoried, plus a few additions to the collection in recent months, brings the totals up to 1552 π¬
#GeekDen
One month later and I have the penultimate cabinet finally lit and inventoried. One more to go
#GeekDen
#printerbounty ran the first set of objects on the new screen and they printed great.
The 25β Rocinante will be amazing! Last pic shows size difference for one of the PDC housings between the 15β and the 25β print

Replacement LCD for the printer arrived today and we performed a very successful transplant.
Heartβs beating again and now we go straight to performance testing with a print.
#GeekDen
I have a full set of 36 Stargate glyphs engraved on acrylic here that didnβt fit on the gate.
Theyβre all individual pieces so you could arrange them any way you wanted.
$50 plus shipping
#LaserBounty #GeekDen #Stargate
The Normandy SR-2 is really well made. Much of it is plastic whereas the Dark Horse model was 100% diecast, but the surface details and the paint app on it are superb.
#MassEffect #GeekDen
The Invictus is really stellar. Rotating inner rings! A great box and excellent packing
#Foundation #GeekDen
#laserbounty, really happy with how this turned out even tho itβs not perfect. NASA Voyager Probe gold record replica laser engraved on an 8β brass plate
#GeekDen
I tried running it on white acrylic and unfortunately my diode laser couldnβt do it. I ran it on bass wood to test out the fit.
Iβll try something else too and see what other options might work
#GeekDen #Shipyards
Ok, I had a bit of a breakthrough with the stand for this ship.
It just doesnβt have a good spot for a single support to reach and balance it and I really didnβt want to drill a hole inside.
I have a nice base designed and Iβll run it on the laser tonight
#GeekDen #Shipyards
Working (just a little bit) on the Rocinante again today, starting with some of the grey but also testing out the holographic tape I am going to use for the advanced armor
#GeekDen #Shipyards
#2026Projects #GeekDen
A quick little build and weather project but a fun one nonetheless.
Unicron and a tiny Autobot Shuttle join the #GeekDen shelves.
Last pic with Autobot Ark, Nemesis, and Revenge
More work on the 15β Rocinante. Base coat black painted and added magnets for the PDC covers and turrets
#GeekDen #Shipyards
#laserBounty Mrs Geek decided to name her sauna tent and together we designed and laser engraved a metal plaque for it
#GeekDen
A little more effort and I finished lighting these shelves. Shy one strip but I use that cube for storage anyway
#GeekDen
Still one of my favorite finds over the last couple of years, the QMX Serenity MF-813 flying mule.
I donβt remember ever seeing any scale info but itβs big, possible 1/18 even.
#GeekDen #Firefly #Serenity
However I knew as soon as I got it Iβd need to weather it up. Gonna start off with a black wash and panel line.
Once itβs dry Iβll add some silver and rust penciling
#GeekDen #Shipyards
#mailcall, I found out this existed and knew I wanted to add it to the shelves. Iβd love to have a full Unicron but I canβt fit that here. The head alone can do.
A quick and fun build during lunch. It also comes with a tiny Autobot spaceship
#GeekDen #Transformers
The 1/64 diecasts are all better lit now. There are two here that are NOT from TV or film. Other than those, how many do you recognize?
Give yourself a point for each one
#GeekDen
Half the shelves have been lit with the new LED solution
A little more progress and a good stopping point
#GeekDen
5 action figure scale motorcycles, red one in the middle is Akiraβs bike, silver one on the end is Bladeβs from the first movie
One time I thought scale motorcycles were gonna be the future of the #GeekDen
Might be fun to hang on to these for a while longer
