EK RESIN MODEL KITS - END OF AN ERA……FOR NOW……

DS_IN_362.jpg

After years of being available from Industria Mechanika, these EK resin model kits have been retired. They remained popular, with the last edition runs selling out in the spring/early summer of 2021, but Industria Mechanika has shifted to a digital download/3D print business model, and is ending production of physical resin model kits, so that is it for these designs!

I am planning on continuing to work with Industria Mechanika, and I hope to have some 3D printable kits, featuring new designs, available with them in the future. I will post more about this when the time comes.....Until then, thanks to all that bought and built these kits over the years! Your interest and support is much appreciated!

I recently did an interview with Dario Bolivar of Red Académica de Diseño (RAD), a Columbian association of art/design/illustration graduates, teachers and students from the country's universities.

We talk about my path into a career as a concept artist, working in the industry, as well as my personal art.

Towards the end of the interview Dario ’s internet drops out for a few minutes, but he triumphantly returns to finish things off.
