I'm 70 year old and I have lived most of my life in LA working in film and TV as a filmmaker, VFX artist, Special Makeup artist, actor and more.
I continue today at my film studio in Ventura where I have for the last 10 years made films, film effects, creatures, models, and many other creations that fall under the "Maker" category.
That’s right an hour and a half at the dentist and having my skull pounded didn’t add up to much work at the shop yesterday but I did get the resin parts for my rocket kits orders pointed up and primered. Today I fill the boxes with wood parts and goodies and out they go.
All the many rocket kits were shipped yesterday and I also made a new improved base for the Star Destroyer. Today it officially finishes and ships tomorrow.
For the first time in a few months I have a clean slate. It won’t last long because orders always come in waves. However I will have a bit of time to finish the molds for the slot car bodies and to start developing a few more new items for sale at long last.
You might notice that PT boat hull off frame. That is a build I’m about to start two and it will be radio controlled!
I was fortunate enough to find one of these kits in a thrift shop for 14 dollars. On Ebay they are around 250 or more. Lucky me!
I have a new script to start writing too for the next short film this year. I plan two films this year. So much to do, so much ahead. Life is joyful when you have purpose and you’re a maker. Never is there a dull or boring day and excitement runs through me each morning I wake up.
