May/June Donation Update + Project Updates! (Patreon)

Greetings!

I know the Patreon/Instagram has been a bit quiet lately. Towards the end of May, I had a staff shakeup in my 'real business' so I've been doubling up on my professional responsibilities. With that said, I have a few key updates to share regarding this Patreon's charitable giving campaign AND some project updates!

Back in April, I turned 39 and decided to make some health + lifestyle changes. I'm dieting I took up a daily swimming exercise routine and will soon be hitting a weight loss milestone and moving into "normal weight" territory for the first time since my 20s! I've never felt better!

I started swimming at the same YMCA I took lessons at when I was a kid. I thought it would be fitting to align the Patreon's charity campaign with my recent fitness adventure and donate to the YMCA of Greater Omaha for May/June. Funds are used to provide services to the community and promote youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

Now the fun stuff... projects!

I have a few irons in the fire at the moment - they are larger projects so I plan on getting back into a regular 'part release' schedule like with the Extreme Proton Blaster project.

• Extreme Proton Pack - What good is a blaster without a pack? Yes, I have begun working out the 3D model for the Extreme pack. I hope to start putting out files in the coming weeks so you all can get started on your builds. My only trouble is that I don't have the space for yet another proton pack! This may be the first project where Patrons will get the opportunity to build it first!
• Kids-size Proton Pack - My nephew is turning 5 years old early next month. He has taking a liking to Ghostbusters! He really enjoys Afterlife and has been playing with my son's custom pack when he visits. I think it's time for him to get his own! My approach is to 3D print him a custom kids-size shell and attach it to the Hasbro MOD blaster. I will release the files here so you all can print up your own of the young busters in your lives.

I'll plan on hosting an IGTV stream soon to go over these projects!

All the best!
