exceptional work my friend.....never ceases to amaze me!

 

[Shinpachi]

Roger, Wayne
Thanks!

 

[Shinpachi]

This is my next step - making the case.
Thanks.

This is for your references of the general Japanese foods

Thanks! Ever since being addicted to Iron Chef, I love this stuff.

 

[Shinpachi]

You are welcome, vB.

You may be referring to Umeboshi(pickled plum) products.
It was the infamous food that the allied POWs hated
It's good for the health in summer though.

Thanks!

Very nice Shinpachi and I am working on my health as I type this.

The heat has been on here the past week or so...daytime temps have been in the range of 105° F (40° C) to 113° F (45° C)

Today was the first "cool" day in a while...it was 98° F (36° C)!

Thanks for the Summer Greeting!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank you, Aaron and GG.
I wonder how cold or warm in the Southern Hemisphere this year.
I guess it may be so cold to our contrary.

Working on my CG, I feel it's getting more complicatable step by step.
I have to go carefully.

Please enjoy.
Thanks!

Simply outstanding Shinpachi! Words fail me....

 

[Gnomey]

Great work Shinpachi!

 

[vikingBerserker]

We have some incredibly talented people on this site. Shinpachi your work just blows me away.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I agree VB! Very nice work Shinpachi!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Lucky, Gnomey, vB and Aaron for checking my work again!

This stuff is tough to model as the design conception is different from the Japanese engines.
e.g. the totally flat cylinder mount base, unfamiliar gear-case curveture etc.
I have already forgot to enjoy it but am very serious about checking its details with much curiousity.

Sorry for my funny material setting but please do not worry.
It will be fixed properly till I complete it.

Thanks!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Curiosity is a good thing. Looking very nice Shinpachi! Again, thank you for sharing your work with us.

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank you for your care, Aaron.

As I was a machine engineer, this kind of theme always makes me mad.
A CG creator is usually regarded as a kind of artist or illustrator working on PC but I think myself a metal worker who has no factory

I am glad you enjoy.
Thanks!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I can understand your frustration. I worked a machinist apprentice for two and a half months years ago but being diabetic my body really disliked the swing shifts that you had to work and my health started to crash so I had to give it up. I really enjoyed the work. They had me making hydraulic rams and transmission parts for logging equipment and to my knowledge I never had any return parts. I had a really good teacher to.

 

[Shinpachi]

Thanks Aaron. I am glad you kindly understand my frustration.
I believe you are still one of the best engineers and my true friend!

I happened to find out old photos which introduced the German aviation industry in early 1941.
The Japanese thought the war in Europe had nothing to do with them, so they were simply introduced as a reference data.
These photos, however, look as fresh as ever to me.

For your curiosity,
Shinpachi

 

[Wayne Little]

Mad or frustrated.....very impressed with the continuing quality of your work my friend!

 

[Shinpachi]

"Mad or frustrated" sounds like a nice catch copy for any new cinema this summer!
Thank you Wayne for such a fantastic phrase for me

Analysed myself carefully, I think I am more mad and frustrated at the moment.
It is because....this summer is very very HOT!

How is it in Australia?
I am afraid it's very very cold this year...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

It is HOT here to Shinpachi. It is starting to remind me of my childhood. Cold winters and hot summers.
