In a fit of energy, I've also added Korben Dallas Gun and Kira's Derringer. Even better, just before the day closed out, I added a Trill Phaser. January 10, 2006. Gary Seven Servo added to the Star Trek: The Original Series section. I'm also contemplating removing the "misc" section. I'm running out of web space. It occurred to me that if there's something in there that I really want to display on the site, I may just give it its own section. January 9, 2006. "Dustbuster" Phaser added to the Star Trek: The Next Generation section. Killer piece with working lights and sound. Phenomenal paint job too. I added a Grammar Primer to the website, as people are driving me insane with their poor use of the language. Contributions to the primer are welcome. Romulan Rifle added to the DS9 section. And what a rifle it is! Jem H'Dar Rifle added to the DS9 section. And the hits just keep on comin'!! Phase Pistol added to the Enterprise section. This is the fourth phase pistol in my collection.

In an astounding and ground breaking spurt of energy, I actually managed to finish one of the cars showcased in the "Car Reconstruction Project" on my Fifth Element page. Without further adieu, I present the Jaguar Miniature. By my reckoning, this project started roughly around April of 2004. Oy. December 25, 2005. In an effort to clean up the website before the new year rolls around, I've made a ton of updates and changes. Endgame PADD added to the Star Trek: Voyager page. Updated some text on the Jem H'Dar Belt Buckle page, so that it now says it's a belt buckle! Jem H'Dar Should Detail added to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine section.

Enterprise Wall Communicator Mark VI Science/Medical Tricorder June 15, 2005. I don't know how this one slipped through the cracks, but I forgot to add my super bitchin' Fifth Element Screen Used Mangalore Bomb to the what's new page. Wuh Happun? Speaking of Fifth Element, here's an "Oldie but Goldie". The Hirojin Hand Phaser from Star Trek: Voyager. Why old? Why Gold? Click the link and find out, dear reader.

More progress on the Bajoran Phaser Rifle. It's almost done now. I cannot believe it's taken more than a month to do this. Multipass tutorial has been updated to include the prep and attachment of the red styrene strip. This is the last step in the tutorial, though I still need to go back and re-vamp the yellow rod part. I added a Ferengi Padd a few days ago, but didn't put it in the "What's New" section. Don't miss out! I also put together a very short page about a new Underworld prop I acquired. Feb 8, 2005. More progress on the Bajoran Phaser Rifle. Feb 4, 2005. I've removed my MR Stormtrooper blaster from my website, as I sent it back.

Removed "Custom Squirk-a-rang" from my Batman page. It occurred to me just recently that this was a piece I built for a friend, and isn't really part of my collection. Additions: I've created a new section for "The Rocketeer". I'm prepping to make a Rocketeer halloween costume, which will add significantly to the number of pieces I have. I decided this warranted granting this great movie its own section. Rocketeer Jacket added to the newly created Rocketeer section. Beemans Gum added to the newly created Rocketeer section.

Korben Dallas Taxi Miniature added to the ever growing Fifth Element page, along with a diatribe and comparison pictures. Dr. Evil Ring added to the "misc" section. Batman Script added to my Batman props section. Updates: I've created a new prop template that I'm going to use from now on. I hope to retro-fit my older pages with this new template. Ideally, this will allow the pages to slide nicely into a new infrastructure that I am kicking around. The thumbnails on each page will now have a drop shadow, making them look a bit more swanky. Clicking on the thumbnails will launch a new window that holds the larger version of the picture. The large picture will also have a drop shadow, but that shadow is actually drawn in dynamically, and is not part of the image. I did this to make it so that I could post pictures on forums without the drop shadow, while at the same time not having to store two versions of the picture. I'm also going to start including a "www.mattmunson.com" watermark on my pictures. I also did some back end maintenance on the site. I moved the pre-existing "misc.html" into the misc directory, and renamed it index.html to avoid snoops. Sept 3, 2004. Additions: Mark VI Science Tricorder added to my Next Gen stuff. July 28, 2004. Additions: FAQs and Tutorials page added. This provides direct links to all the tutorials on my site, and is also a central clearing house for the various FAQs that I've put together. Also did some general maintenance on the site. Added my site banner to a few pages that were missing it, changed the font size on a couple of titles, nothing really exciting. I did manage to correct the styrene thickness on my Voyager Large Padd tutorial. It was previously reported at .040", and is now .125". How I miscalculated that by so much I will never know. July 9, 2004. Additions: Large Isolinear Chip added to my Next Gen stuff. Small Isolinear Chip added to my Next Gen stuff. Credit Chip from Babylon Five.
