I think I have discovered a new modeling genre: the "Musical Build Along".
A guy just sent me an unusual harmonica: a solo tuned Seydel Orchestra S. I wanted to post a quick video confirming that I had the harmonica. I recently discovered that a video using still images uploads to youtube about 15 times faster than and actual video.
So I recorded a tune with the new harmonica and used several of the build photos from the Derelict project. So now you can view the build process while relaxing to my off-key tune stylings.

Brent, you're a genius! I couldn't resist promoting your video with the glitzy format I use for Youtude videos on All Sci-Fi. My only complaint is that your virtuoso performance was WAY too short!
Encore! Encore!
Better yet, do the same thing with other photo essays of build's-in-progress! It's a great way for us to contemplate your wonderful creations while enjoying your other remarkable talent as a musician.
I can just see the CD/DVD set now!

Never heard of it. My team will have to do some research. _________________ ____________

It would require some minor modification of the album's color palette.

I'm clearly going to have to learn a lot more songs (or build less models). |

You've already built lots of models and taken plenty of pictures. Start rehearsing with that harmonica, Brent! You're public awaits! _________________ ____________

As I mentioned in my robot thread, the Derelict and Robot models were both entered in a regional IPMS convention and contest. I expected nothing but hoped one of them would grab a Bronze medal.
Shockingly the Robot got a Gold but my first winner was the Derelict which won this very respectable Silver medal:
