Here are a collections of pictures taken over the past couple of weekends. I went diving with a co-worker on the 4th. On the 11th, Angel, Nicky, Terry, and I went to a Clippers’ game courtesy of a co-worker of Terry’s who had the tickets and wasn’t planning on using them. This past weekend, the east coast crew came out for a visit; they flew in Thursday night and flew out on Monday morning.
So a friend of mine has been bugging me for days and weeks to give him a list of tools that I use to build resin figures. So here we go. Note that some of these tools are not necessary, but will make the building process easier; and so are a luxury. Quick and dirty list:
Pin Vise
brass rod
sanding sticks
magnets
epoxy glue
drill bit set
tamiya light curing putty
tamiya epoxy putty quick type
milliput (clay like consistency)
Mr Resin Primer
hobby knife
Dykes (cutting tool, get you minds out of the gutter)
This weekend was a busy one. The annual SCAHMS (Southern California Area Historical Modelers Society) show was held on the 20th and 21st, and I the monthly model build gathering was also held. The show was big, about the same as last years. I took a good number of pictures, I got almost everything. The model build gathering was one of the smallest we’ve had in a while; but it was nice and relaxing.
This is the 21st model build gathering. Coming off the week from my ski trip, I was still trying to recover so I did absolutely no model building. I just enjoyed the folks over at the house building. I think there were a few others that are a little burnt out. I blame myself, as I guess it can be a little influential since I wasn’t gunho and out building along with everyone. I’m sure things will be back to normal soon, and I will be back to building like a mad man.
