Summer is Over; Winter is Coming

  

Well, where did the summer go?

Doing stuff, or trying to do stuff. Life has been a bit up and down. Been reading a bunch of stuff, and just as soon as I can get my finger out I will post what I've read on my other blog.

Hoping that the injection for my wrist, scheduled for October, means I can get back to model making. It is what it is. Meanwhile, sharing the above picture of a full-size replica ScopeDog next to the its designer Kunio Okawara, who is the man behind the greatest mecha designs in anime.

    1. I think you're right, but I can't find a picture of it. Though I vaguely recall having see one somewhere. I do know that my 1/144th Scopedogs are smaller than Jaeger/Hunter equivalents.

    2. There are a couple of low res pics out there both in the original camo and a repaint in black as a Black Talon. I had my own 4x6" picture with a very 90s young me in front of it somewhere but couldn't find it years ago when I looked everywhere for it.

  3. If I can't get an Easter Island head into my front yard, I'm gonna try for a Gear!

    1. A Gear as a lawn ornament. Sounds cool.

    2. Steve Jackson Games released plans for the multi-part cardboard Ogre, which at least one person expanded into a Lawn Ogre:
