Coming Soon In retrospect. 2018 was a transitional year for me. It was a year spent finding ways to cope with chronic fatigue due to nerve damage from the shingles virus almost two years ago.
It was a year of finding ways to put my life back on track. The first half of the year was largely trying to stay stress-free and give my body time to hopefully recover.
Of course, no matter how hard you try, life is never stress-free.
Somewhere during that time, I began a resto-mod of my Tombo Kabuto, preparing it for its new home at the second location of a Hawaii themed restaurant, Kona Kitchen, coming soon to Lynnwood, Washington.

Both locations are owned by actor Yuji Okumoto, who played one of my favorite childhood bad guys...Chozen from the Karate Kid Part II.
More on that project soon.
Toward the latter half of 2018, I reconnected with some friends at 3D Fuel.
3D Fuel produces 3D printing filaments to meet a variety of needs including high impact PLA and unique composite materials made from hemp, coffee, and beer.
John and Carl (3D Fuel) and I discussed sponsorship possibilities. Timing was good, I was just getting back on my feet and back to work.
3D Fuel's sponsorship also provided an opportunity to pick up on a project that has been on hold since 2016 because of family health issues...the Momotaro Armor. Its design is inspired by the Japanese Folk tale "Momotaro" my Mother read to me as a child.

A big thank you to my new sponsors. John and Carl, thank you for making this happen and I'm looking forward to awesome creations with 3D Fuel.
Great people, great products. Please check them out at www.3Dfuel.com.
I'll follow up soon with more about the inspiration behind the Momotaro Armor and a reveal of the design itself along with details of what's to come.
In the meantime, check back here on my blog for updates on all my projects and follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter where I'll be posting progress pics of the Tombo Kabuto.
Till next time, a hui hou.
