Commbadge
After a few years of molding, damaging, casting, sanding, researching, and painting, I finally finished my communicator badge replica. This is the one they've been using on Star Trek since 1994 with the movie Generations. The project started as an exercise in resin casting skills, based on a commbadge toy I acquired years ago. This one is painted just like the ones on the show, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Goes well with the phaser. I wrote a page about it in the Models section of my site. Maybe now I can get back to models in a scale other than 1-to-1?

Today was spent sleeping and working on the car. The driver-side constant velocity joint's rubber boot decided to disintigrate and I got a replacement part earlier this week. However, undoing rusty bolts in and around the wheel wells always takes time. In the end, I got everything out of the way and am stuck trying to get the end of the transaxle out of the transmission. A mechanic is coming by Monday morning and hopefully he can get it out, if I can't get it done myself tomorrow.
