Ok, I am currently uploading the latest version of my model building tutorials. So far I have it up on mininova and will be putting it up on other torrent trackers too. Gunpla Model and Resin Anime Figure tutorial ver…
This past weekend was a fairly busy one. For starters, I was staffing at Anime Expo and giving three 2 hour long workshop sessions on model building. And on Sunday, my oldest and best friend got married. I was also one of two best men (groomsmen). My obligations with AX and my friends staying with me from out of town had me miss most of the events leading up to the wedding, and for that I am rather annoyed. On one hand, my best friend’s wedding only happens once (or it should), and AX will come around every year. However, there is a bigger picture with AX, and all the little events leading up towards the wedding day were cursory. I would have had a really good time at their BBQ the day before. My best friend is my second family, I grew up with them as I lived across the street, so I am basically treated like a family member whenever I go over. I ended up missing all of AX on Sunday, however, I wouldn’t have traded that day for anything.
Another Anime Expo (AX) has come and gone. I staffed the event for the first time this year at the Art Show, dealing mostly with the Model Contest aspect of the event. This gave me the opportunity to experience a completely different viewpoint to the event. For the past couple of months, I have made many new friends with a good number of AX staffers, so as a result, I picked up a really insightful view of the event. I now have a greater understanding of the sacrifices made by the fans of the event so that they can greatly improve an event that they love and once upon a time, were mere attendees.
Anime Expo (AX) is coming up in the next few days. I am looking forward to this as this should keep my heart and mind busy for the next week or so. I have finished revamping the first part of my workshop presentation, but I still need to polish up a few things on the other two parts. I have a few videos to shoot to finish up the figure building section. I wish I could have finished the Kanu, but there were a few extenuating circumstances.
