Build Gatherings

January 2010 Model Build Gathering

Weekend update: January’s build gathering. This month we had about 7 new people come to the gathering. The size of the gathering is getting back to normal after all the holidays and such. This looks like a good start to the new year. I got some work on my RSO that has been sitting idle on my desk for the past few weeks, and I cracked open the Gun Tank and got the core fighter done for the thing. Having built the core fighters for previous kits, this is by far the most complex core fighter to date. The parts separation is pretty intense. I’m still not too sure the over engineering is necessary, but the thing is pretty cool regardless. More details about the gathering after the jump.

Weekend update and December Model Build Gathering

It was a decently busy weekend. I went to my friend’s mom’s house and learned and made a bunch of tamales of different flavors. I’m finally started up on my latest project that I actually sorta started a few years back when I first bought it, but shelved. Then there was the build gathering. This one was very interesting. And whilst I tell the story later, I will definitely come off as a complete asshole, but you just had to be here to fully understand and grasp the big picture. Regardless it was another great gathering. At the end of the night, we piled up all the guitars, for a group picture. I’m sorta cheating, as the left handed, ultra dusty, guitars are mine… but at least I have some variety in that there’s an electric, acoustic, and classical guitars. And unfortunately, I had forgotten to snap pictures during the gathering, but I did snap a few things off my phone, a little too late however.

Sniper nearing completion and Model Build Gathering 29

Saturday was the 29th model build gathering. We made beef koobideh for the grill, and with rice, humus, and flat bread, we had a fairly successful Persian dinner. I got the pastel weathering done at the build gathering and the main sniper kit is completed. I still need to finish working on the weapons and the kit will be done. Duke’s getting bigger, he’s almost as long as Hugo now and but of the three dogs, still the shortest.

Sol Tekkaman progress and MBG prep for OrangeCon

We had another build gathering this past weekend so that folks can get some final preparation in to their kits for OrangeCon which is happening in a few days from now. I’ve been steadily working on the Sol Tekkaman kit for the past few weeks and by now have gotten a decent amount of paint sprayed on the sucker. Following the jump are details on the Sol Tekkaman kit and sneak peaks at the various projects folks are finishing.
