buyers remorse

buyers remorse, we've all had to deal with it at some point in time, be it a food item that tasted bad or buying a piece of tech just to have the latest version come out a week later.
so continuing on about buyers remorse, one of my friends is a bit of a collector but it seems he wants to sell off some of his figures, I've known that there were a couple he had that he wasn't happy with (paint was messed up, didn't want the figure as much as he thought he did, etc.) but I didn't know there were so many he wanted to get rid of.
he wants my help to sell them, although he has offered them to me first for purchase (there are a few I'd really like to have) but I fear I might get buyers remorse myself if I spend too much for them, there are a number of things I want to buy but I don't think I could pass up such an opportunity to attain certain figures, on a side note I don't know where I would even put them as I have run out of shelf space (and space in general) but I don't know, I guess I'll wait and see how much he wants and then make a decision.

persistent cold

almost all this month I've not been feeling the greatest, I've had a persistent cold, headaches, and so on, I've also been busy trying to organize my living space which has resulted in the loss of my photography area (where I take all my pictures), so for now I don't have anything to post but hopefully next month I will be feeling better and have the time and space to work on something that I can share.

RGM-79 GM girl nagato

my most recent mobile suit girl, made using a hg 1/144 rgm-79 gm, figma yuki nagato, and figma homura akemi school uniform ver.

the build wasn't super hard to do and only required some light modding work, I wasn't originally going to use nagato's head but I really didn't feel like using the one I had originally chosen (figma madoka kaname school uniform ver. which came as a package deal with figma homura akemi school uniform ver.) so I bought a used figma yuki nagato to use, I had also originally wanted to use the gm's shoulder armor but I couldn't get it to work so I decided to leave it off (I might try to figure out a way to attach it again in the future, but for now it's alright).

to build it I pegged the arms and legs in using leftover pieces cut from the model kits runner, the back unit was also attached using a runner peg (what I call them) but had to be sanded down a little to fit in the hole on the back unit, the neck piece was basically just put over the neck, the head piece and side skirts had their connection pegs trimmed down/removed and were then glued on, the chest vents were the hardest part as they were trimmed down to be a little smaller and then glued on.

all in all I'm very happy with how this figure turned out.

a new project currently underway

although I don't have any pictures to share at the moment I do have a new project I'm working on, I'm making what's known as a mobile suit girl (MS girl for short), to build it I'm using high grade 1/144 gunpla (which one I'm using is a secret for right now) and a figma. I'm not sure who the figma is of as I'm not familiar with the series it's from, I bought two together on ebay for a low price specifically for this project so which character it was didn't really matter.

hopefully I will have it finished soon and have pictures of it.

way too busy

as of lately I have had to do what seems like a million different things, and I haven't had much spare time to work on anything, but hopefully next month I will have something awesome to share.

wind up skeleton (art piece)

celebrating halloween I thought I'd share a picture I did some time ago, it's a walking wind up toy skeleton I purchased many years ago.

I find wind up toys to be very interesting and I love to see them in motion, my collection of them my be small but maybe one day I'll be able to have a lot of them, moving on, this image has been edited a fair bit and I can't seem to remember what program I used (this was done at a time when I did not have photoshop installed on my computer) or what exactly I did to it but I suppose it's not all that important. all in all, I like it and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

sd gundam next rx-78-2 real type gundam

I recently purchased an sd gundam next gashapon figure, I didn't know what to expect since I'd never bought a figure from this line before and I was pleasantly surprised.

the figure is fairly small (smaller than what I thought it would be), it has a fairly large range of articulation, the figure does have one draw back and that is that it has some wrong coloring, this figure is usually listed as being the rx-78-1 prototype gundam but it is actually the rx-78-2 real type gundam and there are suppose to be a few parts that are a dark green color (at least according to my research) but it doesn't really bother me very much as it is still a very nice figure.

all in all I'm happy with it and I will probably buy a couple more from this figure line.
