The past week was hellish! Goodlord, there was a good 3 - 4 days where I had to work straight through the night to get this guy finished in time. Basically, I had to get done for NYCC which starts today (Friday). I finished and shipped it via Express mail on Wednesday. The package arrived to it’s destination in NJ the next day which was Thursday!
I probably had a good 3 - 4 months to work on it which was plenty of time. But I had other projects that was ahead of this one that I just had to finish. I dabbled on the Zero occassionally. Most, if not all of the heavy work was done 2 weeks prior to NYCC. And ofcourse the back breaking work was done during the final week.
If you (Glen from Android8) ever read this, I’m sorry for the scare it caused you!
Glen’s the backer for this project over at Android 8. He was extremely patient with the entire process. I pritty much gave him one excuse after another on the status of the project. I mean, I knew 100% that it would be done and in time for NYCC. But, I didn’t expect him to believe that if he knew the exact progress. None the less, I do thank him for his patience and trust.
Here’s a couple of progress shots I took during construction. The first pic was taken on Monday (Feb. 02). The second pic, was probably taken a early January. What you see is the sculpt of the hull (damaged turd looking thing at the bottom of the pic) which was ultimately destroyed over the process of vacuum forming. But that’s how you get the parts above it to be hollowed out like that.
