Mokelumne River Models Update

Remember back in early September I began working on a project with Mokelumne River Models? No? Well, I did. Thanks so much for paying attention. Anyway, Mokelume River Models makes model kits for HO scale train sets. Gael Troughton (who basically is MRM) asked me to model an antique penny scales for an upcoming set and have them printed through Shapeways. He just received the first set of test prints and we're both pretty happy with how they turned out! He even sent me these photos:

At this scale, the print kind of pushes the envelope with regards to detail size. They're less than an inch and a half tall. It may be a little hard to make out the details in these photos, but once he's got them painted up and has added the decals they're going to look even better! I'll be sure to keep posting with the latest info as it develops.

Upcoming Project

I've been working with Mokelumne River Models to produce elements for an upcoming model kit via Shapeways. Things are still in the development stage but I'm sure it's only a matter of time now. I'll be sure to post a link when the kits become available and who knows, there may be more from this in the future.

In the meantime here are a few of the latest sales.

Zazzle is offering 20% off cat products. Just use MEOWDAYSDEAL until midnight. I think Wanted Cat is my only cat related product, but the fine print doesn't really seem to specify that it be a cat product, so go nuts and see what happens.

Cafepress is giving up to 65% off T-shirts, 40% off drink ware, and selling flip flops for $12. Just use codes TEENY, 40SIPS, and FLIPPER respectively. This deal's also good until midnight.

EDIT

It seems Zazzle's sale is now going on until midnight TONIGHT, rather than last night, so there's still some time to take advantage of the sale.
