September 2011 Model Build Gathering

This past weekend was the model build gathering for September. A bunch of folks that haven’t been back to the gathering for awhile showed up – Jay, Miko, Artur, etc. Good to see some of the old faces. Art showed up with a few boxes of random kits that he received from a friend that had passed on, so instead of the trash bin, he felt the kits may find some good homes with the folks from the build gathering. It’s hilarious to see the sudden reaction when the phrase “free kits’ are uttered. After the grab fest, about one box full of kits was left over and we suggested that Sean take it as a donation to IPMSOC’s annual distressed kit auction event.

It has been two weeks since I last worked on the GM diorama project. Real life just got in the way of everything. But the guys collaborating on this project gathered at my house over the long weekend and we spent some time refining the foam structure of our “hdden Zeonic base” mesa thingy. Also, the recently neutered Latte came over to visit his big brother.

A weekend of staying cool at Yuki’s, hanging out at Angel’s parents place, lunch meetups and the Hollywood Bowl with John Williams. As well as a conversion from my co-dependency on Toyota made cars, yes, we know they call them Scions, but they’re ultimately Toyota’s.

August’s Model Build Gathering

This past weekend was the model build gathering. This was at Funaka’s house this month, so I got some time to deal with errands and such that were unavoidable. I also got into a fun little accident a few houses from Dan’s, but all parties involved are fine, with the exception of my car. So out of the 4 years I’ve owned the damn thing, I’ve had it in the body shop 3 times, the week I got it, last year, and this year. That bloody Scion FRS can’t come out soon enough. I snapped a few shots when I got to the build gathering. Brandon’s working on his RC Tank, Sean’s in the spray booth spraying all the individual pieces for his MG Gouf 2.0 kit he’s been working on, and the house is full of people. Good thing I arrived when I did, Tony and his crew showed up and every chair and table I brought was put to use. I got a new figure kit pinned and later in the evening, a few of us worked on the base for the GM diorama.
