1945A - WWII Sci-fi Film


It's 1945, and the Allies are on the verge of winning World War II, when suddenly the Nazis unleash an arsenal of super weapons straight out of science fiction turning the tides in their favor. This presentation was done on a VERY small budget. All the tanks and vehicles (Willy's jeep, Stuart tank, Sherman tank, Nazi "Spider" tank) were done with 1:6 scale models, not CGI.

"Magic" Tricorder Stand


I created this stand for my Star Trek TNG tricorder so it could be displayed in the open position, but also be removed and played with without having to disconnect and reconnect the power source. There's a magnet built into the stand and a reed switch installed in the back of the tricorder that disconnects the power when it's on the stand.
