I posted some photos of my Owens Valley Doll project some time back . . . And here are some photos of the long neglected OVD . . . she will be the icon for my "boro" concept project.

. . . it's HOT . . . max here today was in excess of 107 degrees F. (in the shade) with a bit of humidity make it more uncomfortable. Here in the easter California high mountain desert 10 or 12% humidity is too much. I was in Illinois one July and I;...

Shiraki is a figure I bought over a year ago but never posted any photos on dc.com . . . she's been hibernating in a container with several of my Iron Man action figures. As you probably know, Shiraki's clothing is "cast-off" . . . unh hunh. Anyway h...

Trooper dance and Q&A - No photos just the link

. . . the Red Paint Mk 1 scratch build . . . been working on this for a bit . . . finally starting to take shape. The arms and head are most finished and the body and legs are still being modeled = adding armor and stuff.

A quick peek at where I pursue my "new" career . . . no flat screens, laptops or graphics pad. just pencils, sculpting tools and a CD player somewhere behind me.

Got the Hasbro Iron Man Mk1 the day after Sunday . . . got two of his friends to pose with him. The Leica is one of the cameras I use . . . Black Sabbath (Iron Man) and AC/DC (War Machine) is with the Iron Man Mk1 photos posted here . . .

The S.F.3.D. Original Fireball SAFS (Kow Yokoyama scratch build) ca. 1985, is lacking a few cosmetic touch-ups before it will no longer be subject to the Dremel and paint can, but it's essentially in its "finished" state. Gotta fix up the hydraulic l...

Yeh, I know what you're thinking, what is this "Mountain Spirit Mobile Suit"? I’ve been carving the wooden Owens Valley Dolls for six month now and have reached a point where the design and embellishment of the figures is no longer going through any...

Micro Man Kit 01 I found this kit at the Chevron petrol station/conmbini this morning. I went out to get a bit of breakfast (a bean, cheese and bacon “breakfast” burrito) before the cable service guy came to hook-up my new digital phone – separating...

This wagon has been around the neighborhood for several years and this is the first time I have posted any photos . . . most people who see it don't know where it came from and think it must be a "cowboy" car because of the horses, but we know diffe...

Thanks to all the comrades who commented on my suddenly appearing relic post the other day. I went digging through my storage closet looking for more hidden treasure and what did I find ?? Ha Ha, not so fast - when I was looking on the internet I fo...

I was digging through a storage closet and found another of my early kit models that I bought back around 1982 or '83. I don't know the name of the figure. This kit was purchased at about the same time as my Fang of the Sun kits. Bought them all in a...

Poladroid is an app that lets you turn your photographs into the old square Polaroid format. the process crops the standard 35mm format and changes the hue, saturation and exposure - you have no control - you can reprocess the same image up to ten t...

Well, Avatar won the Golden Globe - there was a look of shock on many faces in the audience. 3+ hours on my butt? I think not, I will just take my Neyti"s (my pet name for Neytiri) top off and let her sit unfettered by my monitor as I work.

the "Daily Eyes" post is exciting, sometimes, but I'm finding that the Gundam posts are beginning to call to me . . . Look at me, look at me . So today I was roaming about the town next to where I live and found myself in the used bookseller shop . ....

I got nothing against "cutesome" girlys, but tha boys need representing, so here's my submit - didn't design no armors or weapons will do that with tha win!!

A short post to share my tiger ojime that I purchased 24 years ago in 1985.

"Akemashite, Omedetou-gozaimasu!" [あけましておめでとうございます] I hope this says "Happy New Year" (snagged it from dc) Here's to an exciting and productive new decade. Here's where I am with the S.F.3.D. Fireball build, still more time before it's...

. . . thought I would post some outdoor shots of Neytiri exploring the Mountain Valley kingdom.

Finally got Neytiri out of the box and decided to let Chun-Li show her around the shop.

Thought I might do a recap of what’s been going on here on the electronic couch before the end of 2009. Got some Laughing cow fromage (cheese) some Ritz crackers, and Sho Chiku Bai sake to fuel my post . . . Here’s a little something that has been in...

Probably won't watch the movie, so I went out today and bought the Neytiri Avatar figure - only one left in the store !! Kind of whished that they had a larger fig, but this will be fine. also went to the art store where I get my supplies sometimes...
