A mixture of Gunpla, Cooking, SCUBA, Corgis, and Life

Update for the past 5 weeks

So it’s been a full month and a few weeks since I last posted anything. It’s currently 3 in the bloody morning, and that stupid nap I took this afternoon has pretty much prevented me from falling asleep since I climbed into bed a few hours ago. So I guess now is as good a time as any to log my life events for the past 5 weeks. So what could happen that would throw a nice little wrench into my daily routine? I met a girl; well, to be fair, I was introduced to a girl. Okay, this is one of those personal all about me posts, so anyone looking for model building crap and what not, move along.

MG GN-X Completed

And she’s done. Most folks following my blog may or may not have known that I was working on this for the past few weeks in my spare time. I kept most of the update on the forums.

The Exia’s LEDs were green, so the original LEDs were clipped and I soldered on some blue LEDs I had lying around.

The beam sabers were cut and glued together to create a Darth Maul-esq weapon and the sabers themselves were trimmed and reshaped – then following the Star Wars theme, they were painted with a clear purple ala Mace Windu.

April’s Model Build Gathering at Funaka’s

April model build gathering. Dan, (Funaka) convinced his wife to let him hold the April build gathering at his house. It was a smaller gathering, which was nice and relaxing and probably not as taxing on Dan playing build gathering host for the first time. We had a few late comers, and Manny managed to only glance at the build gathering thread and showed up at my house before realizing that the gathering was not actually at my house this month. It was nice to not have to play host, and I got to concentrate on my own projects. I actually got quite a bit of model work done, more than I have ever had in the more recent build gatherings which is a nice change of pace.
