Gundam 1/48 Unicorn Head Unicorn Mode for HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam
 

A much easier job compared to the 1/48 Destroy Mode Unicorn Mode Head. I sprayed paint on the inner horns (yellow), the collar area (grey) and the vulcans (silver) and laid on a matte coat and that was about it for this piece.

It’s Summertime……
 

It must be as the temps are finally hitting the 90’s here……..I love the sticky hot of summer,  nothing better than sitting outside and getting some rays enjoying an ice coffee or 4, which I guess means you now know how I spent the last week. Although Connor bounded into our lives in the meantime He’s a sweet if rather timid lil’ fella and he will be heading to the shop soon. Meanwhile my head is buzzing with sewing projects……always slightly dodgy for me,  as I always think big when it comes to sewing projects but my skill set is always a damper to my plans.  Regardless I shall be heading of to the fabric store a little later today to purchase the required fabric…..let’s just say lots of red and white pinstripe,  and that’s the only clue you’re getting.  I’m so excited to start but scared of the possible outcome if I can’t follow through on my grandiose plans.

Gundam 1/48 Unicorn Head Base Destroy Mode for 1/144 HG Gundam Unicorn
 

As promised, here’s the 1/48 Unicorn Head Base in Destroy Mode. I cut short the time needed to work on this piece by eliminating one step of the initial process I wanted to use. I originally wanted to spray the eye area black, then paint over with enamel silver and finally with acrylic green

Second Chances – the board game dump pile
 

Recently, FFG has been re-releasing a lot of 2nd tier games that they either picked up from others or are attempting to revise and regenerate interest. There’s Battlelore of course with its various  new expansions that are coming out.  It was a hugely popular game when it was first launched, but due to lack of support from DOW, it died a slow death.  These days, it’s in a strange limbo, with expansions coming out but the base game out of stock for months

Travel Fever
 

Spring is a great time to get the kids out of the house, start taking trips and plan outings for the whole family. However, Travel + Kids introduces all sorts of new parenting challenges; perhaps you discover that your once angelic toddler turns into a “bolter” when you go to the grocery store, or that your sleek and stylish tote can no longer hold the steamer trunk of supplies necessary for a day at the zoo. As a parent, it can sometimes feel like life is a constant adjustment, a constant search for solutions to new problems that you never knew you had
