Tiny Plastic Robots
It's been mentioned before that Alu and I build Gunpla. We recently bought an airbrush and I'm very excited to use it, due in no small part to the fact that I've been working on and off on a custom build I'm calling Tyranny for a few months now. It's mostly a kitbash at the moment (a combination of parts from existing models), but I'm working on making custom pieces for it out of plastic sheets and rods, which is precise work. Once all the pieces are properly built, they'll of course need to be painted so they don't just look like bits of white plastic, and hopefully the airbrush will assist in this.
This morning, I weighed 189.1 lbs.
Yesterday, I ate:
~ A bowl of life cereal
~ A thick eggo waffle
~ Five Buffalo tigers from Vertical Diner
~ Breakfast sandwich from same
~ A bowl of rice krispies
~ A bowl of corn chowder
I haven't looked at Tyranny in a while, so I'm worried that the pieces I've cut aren't precise enough, meaning I may have to cut them again. That's fine for most of them, but a few of them I've already impatiently cemented into place. In the worse case, I'll have to buy a new Destiny Gundam for the wings and G Portent for feet, which isn't too bad, but I'd obviously rather not spend the extra money if I can avoid it. Especially since I'm not the biggest fan of Gundam SEED Destiny (Alu can talk for days about how much she hates it), despite it having some neat machines, so having to buy more models from that series would be a bit irksome. Although, if I can get them to work, I think the larger size of the wings from the Real Grade Destiny might work a bit better than the ones from the High Grade I have now. But they're a bit more delicate and I'd have to figure out a good way to attach them to the HG Freedom Revive backpack. On the positive side, it could be fun to build a new RG Destiny since that was the first Gunpla I built and it's been a few years, so it would be neat to see how I've progressed.
I'm getting off track.
Anyway, I'll have to break Tyranny back out to work on in the next day or two and maybe take a few pictures to post later. But until then,
Take it easy!
