Martins stuff doesn't weigh nearly as much as these big planets did either. Also Im pretty sure Martin, skilled man that he is, has never created his own replication of meteorite glass either.

[HawtGlass]

he also doesn't put so much detail like josh does. but martin makes some hella big shit

[BobGarbo]

Martin Blank goes way bigger, and doesn't make such a big deal about it.

Amazing! I was holding my breath when they were putting it in the annealing oven....

Beautiful!

I seem to remember something like six weeks in the annealer. The studio changes Josh had to make were amazing ... one thing lead to another, and another, and another. As Steve Stadelman says ".... infrastructure, baby". The full length HD DVD is (or was) available when you join WGBY.
