I Would have to describe myself as a modeler. at an early age I was happiest when building WWII tank models or building the "Death Star" out of shoe boxes.
One of my earliest job's was working at Knott'sBerry Farm in the Entertainment dept building Props, set pieces and monsters for Halloween Haunt.
17 years ago I made a transition from building physical models to 3D CG and have been modeling characters & environments in the video game industry ever since....to sum things up my entire life has been about modeling stuff.
I was surprised i'd never heard of the goccos either haha. I saw it on Peskimo's flickr account and just had to get myself one!
I have a button machine but its just a kids one. Not a big metal one although i am tempted. The one i use is called a Super Badge it! and i think its from bandai or something. A girl here at work had one she didnt want anymore so I got it really cheap from her. And it comes with different size badge plates, although the backs of the badges arent like the ones you would make with your proper machine. :o)
Hey Doug, That little printer is called a : Gocco :o) I cant remember exactly which number it is, PG-4 i think, or at least something like that. Its what i think is a Pad Printer really, you can use the machine to create screens for screen printing but when you pull the top down onto the paper it presses the paper against the screen and the ink comes through the screen onto the paper. Hope that makes sense. :o) Its a brilliant little machine! limited in screen size but great fun to use!
