It’s Time to Name That Guy!
Thom Tazzo (Thomas Tazzo)
Gil Young (Gilbert Young)
Which does he look more like?
If he’s Thom, he works at the University as part of the admissions
team. And also as part of their security team.
If he’s Gil, he’d either work as an editor at Bishop Publications (the
same company that Vanessa Lennox & Cass [...]

D’oh! I’d uploaded these to flickr and forgot to post pics of them here….
Sooooo until I snap some new pics of the clothes *that I have been trying unsuccessfully to sew today* these will have to do for entertainment! They aren’t good pics, but they’re better than nothing
PB Kat repainted… She needs [...]

Ok, further on from the list (earlier today)
I managed to get 1 Otaku and 1PB head repainted.
Despite Max’s attempts to move into the 1:6 living room… I still managed a few pics!
I’m not super thrilled with either repaint, obviously my lack of practice is showing.
However, if I am being fair, the [...]

Well this last weekend has been fruitful in two senses….
Figure wise:
I got to sit down and work on Viv and Cass. Viv is the re-rooted Ice head and Cass…well Cass is Takara’s Midori Washio head.
Here’s how they came out.
I have been trying to paint Cass for literally months and it has proven to [...]

Well the mini-heatwave we’ve been having means that my original plan for the day (baking cinnamon rolls from scratch to bring to work tomorrow) has been canned. Too freakin’ hot for that!
Instead I’ve done the following:(more pics to follow a bit later)
Continued working on the pole dancing (woo sexy shoes!) shoes/boot feet for the [...]

So are you tired of the shiny body look?
Don’t like your figures in pictures showing so clearly where your lights were positioned?
Do you want a matte and slightly more human look to the skin? Have you got an hour or so to spare? If so then read on!
Seriously. there isn’t much to [...]

A follow up to my previous post regarding the Otaku figure I received. If you’re a Triad Fan-Boy skip this and read something else…
I went to pick the Otaku up last night from the shelf she was on.
It’s a fairly simple action. Non-invasive. Not rough. Not stressful.
However, somehow–don’t ask me how–in the process– HER LEG [...]

Why do I sew?
I find sewing is usually an exercise in frustration, trial & error and eventual triumph. That said, I can’t say that the actual act of sewing is much fun for me. But the end results can be.
I sew for usually 2 or 3 reasons.
They are:
1) what I want to dress a figure [...]

I realized I neglected to post about them– so here they are.
As you can tell I’m still trying to work out patterns for the Cy Girl 2.0 body. These aren’t fantastic, but I think they’re a step in the right direction (ie not all cy girls will have to wear pleather or ken clothes)
as usual–click [...]

Meet the Otaku 1.0 : Triad Toys newest entry on the market.
So, these figures are supposed to be the next best thing since sliced bread…
Triad Toys has put them out as the most recent offering in the 1:6 scale fem figure market. Anyone involved with the market knows that it’s been slim pickings for a [...]

First off this has nothing to do with my office-worker-cannibal dream! ;P Really!
One thing, let’s face it–I’m cheap when it comes to buying unfamiliar dolls or action figures.
Yes, I’d heard how the bodies from Hot Toys were totally smokin but …at close to 40 bucks a nude figure…….it took me a while to break down [...]

I haven’t been doing a lot lately…
But I’m getting back into things and feeling much better so hoepfully I’ll have more to show soon. For now, I can show you my progress for today (not much, I admit)
I’m hoping eventually to sculpt a couple pair of hands for my cy girls. So they don;’t have [...]

I painted her earlier this week while trying to repaint midori. *midori got her face wiped multiple times, and is still not ready*
I’m not sure of too much about her at this point.
I do know… She’s Paloma’s younger older ?? *can’t decide* sister. (only a year or so either way)
And one [...]

Well, despite my plans not to do anything with 1:6 (and only work on the website and oil painting….) I couldn’t help myself!
So Meet Paloma.
She’s part of a psychiatric practice in Quinlan. (oh btw: The shot is a candid “after hours” shot. She doesn’t look that casual when she’s seeing patients!
*just so I can actually [...]

For a while now I’ve been wanting to work on Claudia. About 2 months ago I got the courage up and boil permed her hair (I was going for the wild, I don’t really give a damn, I’m just so cool ) feel.
This is what I got, and to be honest I’m pretty happy with [...]
