PAPA'S BLOG, UPDATED 2/17/2010

YET ANOTHER JUPITER 2 UPDATE NOW POSTED ON THE WORKBENCH PAGE, AS WELL AS A NEW VIDEO IN THE VIDEO GALLERY! WE ARE 2 MONTHS INTO THE PROJECT, AND THE SAUCER PART OF THE DIORAMA IS NEAR COMPLETED. STILL NEED TO ADD FIBER OPTICS TO THE TOP SAUCER SECTION, THE UPPER DOME LIGHTING, AND THE GLASS ALL AROUND. SAUCER SECTION ALSO NEEDS SOME AIRBRUSH METAL FINISH APPLICATION, AND SOME LIGHT WEATHERING, TO MATCH THE BOTTOM SECTION.

 THE CRYO TUBE ARRAY, AND ALL THE OTHER LIGHTING, LOOK REALLY GOOD IN PERSON, MY FILMS ARE A LITTLE ON THE FUZZY SIDE. SAUCER SHOULD BE DONE BY NEXT WEEK, AND THEN WE MOVE ON TO A DETAILED "ALIEN TERRAIN" BASE, AND A LIGHTED "STARFIELD" IN THE BACKGROUND.

THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE DONE BY MARCH SOMETIME, THEN PAPA TAKES A SHORT BREAK, BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT PROJECT.

STILL VERY COLD HERE IN FLORIDA, HOPE IT WARMS UP SOON, MY PAINTS DRY FASTER THEN! THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR NOW.

PAPA SMURF, OVER AND OUT, UNTIL NEXT TIME........
