midterms!!

To be honest, this week seems like a real bitch. got a 7 chapter test coming up. and a heavily shaded drawing for art class. not to mention tests for Intro to drawing, and Art history...*bleh*....anyhoo, i bought another tachikoma kit recently. the kit over all is simple, but definitely requires painting. I'm thinking of adding LED's to the kit, but other than that, no other mods....i may eventually end up building a tachikoma as seen in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (as opposed to the stock kit wich is the 2nd gig version). Still waiting on the paint for my Justice Gundam to Come in, so thats on hold for now, so i might as well keep working on the Destiny Gundam...just have to do a few things here and there for the wings, and get the weapons cemented and sanded, then the painting fun begins. ill post pics of those when ever i get the chance, maybe week after Saturday. ill also probably give a rundown as to the mods on that kit.

lightsaber pics

Last post i said i would post a few pics, so here they are:
most of u Star Wars people know who these sabers belong to, but for the rest, the top one is Anakin's lightsaber from EP III, the midle pic is of Vader's saber from EP V, and the last one is of Mace Windu's from EP II/EPIII. These are Master Replicas FX hilts that have been converted to Luxeon III LED lightsabers. The blades are removable and unlike stock MR sabers, they CAN be used of Dueling against a rival Jedi or Sith. The Anakin has a blue 3 watt LED in it, and the Vader has a red one. The mace windu saber however contains a hyper white/silver LED, the beauty of this saber is that it come with a set of colored light filters that can change the color of the blade, simply drop them into the hilt, then push the blade in, and now u have a lightsaber blade of your choice! and yes they are for sale, the anakin saber is $120, the vader is also $120, but the Mace Windu is $200, a hell of a lot more work went into converting this saber, and not to menton the parts needed cost a bit more than the other two saber as well. I have also got an Anakin ROTS lightsaber for sale which is currently at Frank and Sons for all you Southern California people, i go there regularly, so if any of you wish to contact/meet up regarding the sale of these sabers, fell free to say so...thats it for now. i was planning to post pics of the in progress Justice Gundam, but they werent very interesting, just a few primered pieces on skewers, once i get painting, then perhaps ill get some up. then after that, you guys and gals may start seeing pics of the Destiny gundam, that should be more interesting on account of the wing mods on that thing...watta bitch that was!

long tym no see

sorry again for not posting! started a new quarter, and am officially selling my moded lightsabers. why? because i can!! that and i wanna make a wee bit of profit of of those things and still be able to buy more sabers to work on (i.e. darth maul). as for gundamy goodness, i did a bit of primer work. mostly white primer on the justice, just ordered the pain set from Hobby Link Japan, so that should come in about a month. also planning to order some decals for my sazabi on account that i lost them! that and maybe buy a figure or two hehehe. im also thinking about picking up the PG strike gundam, and most likely have it sit there till after AX, my thoughts being to get the gundam while i still have all that extra cash...work is gonna be slow as hell during the summer. anyhoo, ive got pictures in digital camera, ill try my best to get them up, mostly of the in progress justice, and some light saber pics for the people at frank and son's who wish to see my lightsaber mod work...and maybe buy!! OoOO. as for school its gonna be a bitch, taking more classes than ever, and my art teacher is a little on the crazy side...rather militaristic i think. anyhoo, i suprisingly survived last quarter with an A and 2B's. so that was kinda awsome. so now, im off to draw even more for that class.....ill try to post pics...oh right before i forget, i also bought a b-club kit for 40 bucks last wednesday, 1/100 scake Rx-78 2 ver ka. kinda kewl, always wanted to work on a resin kit, just my luck that its an original and not a crappy re-cast hehehehe dats it for now...see yas!
