Radar Eye Cardstock Mock-Up Terran Astromech Droid Assembly Works (TADAW)

I had to take a break from R2D2 to complete others projects that were coming due.

I’ve been applying layers of gesso, but it’s not filling in the holes.

I decide to work on something else: the radar eye. I chose Kelly R. Krider’s “main eye temp2” and “main eye sidebox” templates.

To get a sense of it, I made it out of cardstock first.
I used a sheet of scarp cardboard, so the inside is colorful.
It looks great on the lumpy dome!
May 14. I print the templates onto full sheet labels and then apply the labels to box board and cut them out.
This is going to look awesome!

Spring (and Summertime) LARP

I want to continue LARPing over the summer. I have scheduled a first springtime LARP after the end of Planet Homeschool. I am inviting friends who could LARP at Planet Homeschool and friends who could’t. This is a also chance to expand our LARP to a larger area that is better for LARPing and to play for a longer time.

FYI: LARP is Live Action Role Playing, also known as Grown Up Make Believe.

Here are the details:

Summertime LARP

Wednesday, May 18, 2016
10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Tony Schmidt Regional Park
3500 Lake Johanna Blvd
Arden Hills, MN 55112

Live Action Role Playing! Also known as Grown Up Make Believe. This is a multiverse LARP — characters and costumes may come from any genre or era or story or …. The story for this LARP is continually evolving and is written cooperatively by all players, so there is no group leader. While the group may choose to follow someone for a particular campaign on a particular day, any Emperors, Dictators, Generals, or CEOs will be promptly overthrown!

Summertime LARP Rules

    1. Safety first.
    2. Always be nice.
    3. Never say “No” to another person’s idea.
    4. Those who wish to duel must do so in slow motion and tap lightly.

Costumes are encouraged but optional.

Bring provisions (that is, a picnic lunch).

This is an all-weather LARP taking place outside, so plan your outfit accordingly.

This is also a judgement-free LARP. If someone makes a choice with which you disagree, whether it be what they’re saying, what they’re wearing, or what they’re doing, take it as an opportunity to learn … or at least to practice being kind.

RSVP requested.

Adult supervision is not provided.
