Building the Gundam - 05

 I've had this leg assembled for a couple days now, just waiting to be painted up, but was only able to get to it yesterday, due to crazy schedules and projects.

Megaman X: Part 5

Part 5 is up!

I'm kind of learning new things about myself as these videos come up.  I don't remember any of this.  It's like watching an alien wearing my skin.  At least I seem happy, LOL

Megaman X - Part 4

In this episode, I have peaked out on alcohol.  Everything is funny to me, I whisper to the camera, profess my man-love for Zero, and my eyes cross uncontrollably.  Enjoy my inebriation.

Also, so that I don't constantly bombard you guys with Episodes of First Person Shooter, I've set up another page on the blog (tab at the top) for updates on this project.  That doesn't mean that you won't occasionally see here as well ;)

Building the Gundam - 04

Second arm all assembled and ready to paint!
I'm continually amazed at how articulate the resulting build is, especially considering that this whole process has been glue-free; just precisely shaped pieces that snap together to hold others in place, create hinge joints, ball-socket joints, or what-have-you.  Crazy.

First Person Shooters - Megaman X, part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of me failing drunkenly at Megaman X.  I'm apparently getting more hammered by the episode.  I don't recall most of this conversation.

X-Buster - PART 1 - First Person Shooters

So... a little while ago I was "talked into" doing a YouTube series in which we play video games while drunk.  First episode just went live today. 

Apparently I agree to anything if plied with enough drinks ;)

Papers, Please

Papers, Please is a game that I've been addicted to for some time.  Despite several story play-throughs I still find myself coming back, if even just to play in endless mode.  I don't know, there's something innately relaxing about mindless tasks.

Building the Gundam - 03

Not a whole lot new since the last update, so I'll keep it short.

Finished painting the left shoulder unit.  Above is after paint, before weathering powder.  Needs more dirt.  When I took the photo, I didn't realize the Gundam was sitting in frame in the background, quietly supervising my progress, haha.  Just sitting there.  Judging.

And now it's dirty.  Let's see if the Gundam approves.

Check it out!  I got a new shoulder!

Building the Gundam - 02

And so the Gundam build continues.  The head took me probably the longest to build so far.  There were lots of very tiny components, and hitting each little bit with spray primer was pretty rough, but I like the end result.

Building the Gundam

I found a cool image on Google of the model we're building, and immediately took it into Photoshop to start sending my friend some ideas around color-scheming.  At this point, I knew he didn't like the mostly white canon color-scheme, and derided the "red booties" that were the feet.  He had mentioned that he did like blue, so I thought I'd start him off with a blue scheme...

Gundam Landed

Look what just landed on my desk:

It's that big ol' Gundam Zero Wing box that my friend ordered.  I was more than a little surprised at how large the box is, but I'm so excited for this.
