[DeRanKeR]

* FORUM NAME: DeRanKeR

* NAME: Donald Corrigan

* LOCATION: Ocala, Florida

* SKILLS: Pepakura (most of my paper models come out decent)
- Drawing (BIG help when it comes to planning and visualizing what you are making- did a bit of Drafting and Design Tech at Daytona State College.)
- Painting (comes relatively easy- just show me the technique- if I don't already know it- and you will have what you are looking for)
- BONDO (I've been around this crap my whole life... I've gotten so much on my hands and other areas that it no longer bothers me *DISCLAIMER!!*: I in no way condone others
to work with Bondo or Resins of any kind without the proper protection!)
-Electronics ( meh, as long as the amperage isn't enough to kill me, or the voltage is below 500 volts I'm happy..... although I usually have no clue, simple electronics are fun to play with.)
WHAT I SUCK AT: 3D rendering especially... the only 3D models I ever made was for the Google Building Maker, and only 2 of those were accepted.

Areas of expertise (Subject to Change & Expansion)
3D Modeling = I've got a 4 year degree in Modeling... yeah... I know what I'm doing... Also experienced in Texturing, Animation, Rendering, Motion Capture, Virtual Reality, and VR Programming
Pepakura = Not an expert, but I've played around with it a fair bit
Pep work = Built probably like 6 helmets so far, never went past the paper stage though...
Resin = Never done it but I think I understand this part
Fiberglass/Rondo = I've worked with fiberglass before (built a plane) but I'm a little fuzzy on its use in this application
Bondo = I am REALLY kinda lost on this part... I'm worked a fair bit with sanding and finishing wood products though...
Painting = I'm not too great at the artsy stuff, but give me some masking tape and I can lay down a decent solid coat.
Strapping = Worked a little bit with rock climbing, rappelling and equipment loadouts
Overall Pep-Armor Skill = See above
Overall Foam-Armor Skill = Never touched the foam stuff... I'm not a huge fan of the final look :-/
Soft Armor = Never worked in leather, but I'm a pretty decent tailor, give me a pattern, and I'm good. Never worked without a pattern before though...
Scratch-Building = Oh, I suck at this...
Sculpting = Also suck at this...
Molding/Casting = Done a fair bit of similar things, willing to give it a shot. Kinda interested in the process of creating copies of components via a silicone mold.
Vacuforming = Uh... as a kid, I played with a 3 inch square one? And used one once in Industrial Tech in middle school.
Metal Work/Welding = Worked with metal, never welded though...
Wood Work = In my Dad's shop back home I can make just about anything you want
Electronics = Not to great at circuit design. But give me a diagram and a list of parts and I can build anything you can throw at me
