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 [...]

First, I’m afraid I haven’t been doing much of anything that was worth updating the blog about. More than not I have been worrying about the new job I start tomorrow, and what all that’s going to mean (aside from a drastic cut in hobby time).
Anywho, as far as 1:6 goes for the moment [...]

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 [...]

Ok, maybe nothing as dramatic as The Invasion of the Body Snatchers… but still….
I’ve had Fashion Royalty “Miracle Child Ayumi” for a while.
She is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite face molds but due to the crappy Fashion Royalty body she comes with I haven’t done much with her. In fact, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

IF the weekend was good for anything it was a chance for me to step back and take a look at what my motivations are with regard to my work in 1:6.
Yes, it is a hobby.
Yes I enjoy it.
Some parts more than others.
However, I also find it maddeningly frustrating, and downright masochistic at times… [...]

Despite my best intentions very little got done this weekend. Most everything went tits-up, and I wrote most of it off as things I will attempt to do during the week.
The only real success I had this weekend (if you can call it a success…I’m not sure is the fact that I did manage [...]

Ok!
Here are the pics. I know it isn’t the best re-paint I’ve ever done…but I still feel there is something about her that I like. I definitely Do not feel that Jun fits her as a name… so for now, the two choices I’ve come up with are Sonia or Dani (short for Daniella). I’d [...]

Yes.
I did.
*sigh*
maybe tomorrow will go better….
here’s a quick picture of the orange couch. Yea, I know its crap and you can see all the joins–but cut me some slack. It _was_ my first attempt and I didn’t know how I was going to do it until I had carpet adhesive all over me and stuck [...]
