It’s been a while since I’ve officially been helping promote a concert. Usually I just encourage people to go because the band is awesome, but the upcoming Kaleidoscope benefit concert is trying to raise money for social programs in the DTES.

Over the last three or four years I’ve acquired a lot of models, particularly resin models for the trench table I plan to build. But before I can get started on that I wanted to clear off my painting desk a little so I’ve been poking away at four models that will be in [...]
