I put a lot of time in these, life-size and are great fun to build, static or fully functional :rolleyes:

simply amazing.. great work.. do you do custom pieces or have anything for sale? i think something like that would look amazing in a cool frame:D

Yes I would also like to know. That Iron Man one is awesome and I would purchase it

I would do commissions but no one has ever asked! Haha. The Iron Man one is for sale if you'd like to buy it PM me and we could work that out if you're serious! :)

I love the R2D2 most of all. It's great. I used to work for a metal spinning company and I always meant to pick up a half ball (what we would refer to his dome as) and make something like this. Never knew where to start though. Could you tell us a little more about what is inside the model?

I've toyed with trying to build one myself, I just don't have the cash currently. You've done an outstanding job on yours. Very clean!

Also, while on the subject of hobbies, I thought I'd show you guys an update to my scale model building. I'm currently building the 1:350 Enterprise Refit from the Star Trek movies. Here's where I'm at:

I'm on the red bike.

Cycling and bicycle mechanics. Right now I'm rehabbing a 2003 Ti Merlin Solis frame and making it look exactly how I want it to look. It fits me too!

Right now I'm working on polishing out the carbon fiber parts.
 
Those are freaking awesome!! Do you by chance sell them?

I can build to order, but I am in Europe so shipping to the US is not a cheap option, so I build for Europeans mostly.
these are build with plastics and aluminum, and high grade lacquers, and can even have a aluminum dome, with working lights and sounds.

these are made with the most accurate blueprints, and are an exact replica of the original.

Some really amazing hobbies we all have! For my part, I'm into HO scale model trains.

Love the robots and the spaceships. I'm thinking of building a full scale Dalek, but until then my puppet hobby is (thankfully) only 21 inches high.

Here's my latest Thunderbirds' Parker in progress...

 
Very nice set, But a TM driver in a Titleist bag? Why so? Nothing against the TM I also use the same one.:D

oh trust me, im OCD at times and this irks me BUT im bombing this thing and cannot let it out of the bag right now. I did hit a friends 910D3 the other day and holy moly, i might have a change of heart soon to be official 100% titleist. i also play with a titleist players glove and titleist pro v1.

Well, that's just a bummer. Still fantastic work.

The ball just explodes off the face of the Burner SuperFast, best driver i have ever hit. I understand the OCD, I play all TM clubs but cant replace my Scotty.:D

nice, what scotty do you have? I'm on my 3rd one and love the mallet red x5.
 
Yea I love my Scottys. I own 4 right now. This one is in the bag at the moment. I picked up a TM Ghost mallet last year, have had moderate success with it, but keep going back to a blade.

Beautiful! Is that a button back? I currently switch two in an out of my bag. I have an old Futura and a Circa '62.
