Laser Stars & AT-AT

The other night my wife got home from Toys R Us with a birthday present for me! I joked at her about how she bought a 35 year old (gasp) a present at a toy store.

She got me a toy At-AT (the endor moon version) with lights and sound. I felt bad knowing it is pretty expensive for a silly toy, but it's cool to have it. Of course I had one when I was a kid..loosk like the same molds for most parts, but they have improved the sound system.

Yesterday I picked up a thing called Laser Stars for my theater. I got htinking about how I shold install fibreoptics in my theater room, then started thinking about black light and painted stars (to make it easier) then I came across this thing. It REALLY fills the room with moving stars...and has an adjustable cloud thtas always shifting and moving. Really is cool to watch! The stars are actually green, but it really is cool!! Will be a great effect for my future theater!

I am trying to get a phone number for a guy who does drywalling...then I can get at it! I want to pay to get help and get it does well this time (and faster). I hope this guy is willing to help!

V for Vendetta Mask

Me and little bro worked on our V for Vendetta masks on Friday. We had lots of trouble with my cheap airbrush. I finally tried to do some of the shaded areas by hand, but it turned out too dark. I painted over with white, then tried again with Q-Tips. It looked horrible so last night I painted over with white again and gave the airbrush one more chance. It turned out MUCH better (above the eyes) so I am happy now.

Several coats of gloss clear coat and he's done!! I have a hat on order (cheapo one off ebay) and now that Halloween is coming I shoul dbe able to find a Cher wig and trim it to work.

Gold Paint revisitted

I got some gold paint from the UK (THANK YOU GRAHAM!) that is supposed to be a lot better looking than the gold paints available in Canada and the US. It cost me a LOT with exchange, shipping etc so I had a lot of expectations for it.

Here is a before pic with the local cheapo paint.



And here is an after pic with the paint from the UK. It really does look better. It's a bit lighter in color and really shines more. It does make a difference for sure. It's really hard to tell from the pics but you can sort of see the second picture has more reflection in it.

Tattoo....I'm a Bleeder!!

Got my tattoo last night. It wasn't that bad for pain, but the tattoo guy said I am a bleeder. He figured me being fair skinned and freckly could be the cause. He couldn't put too much color in as he said it would bleed out so once this has fully healed I will have to go back in a month for some more color to be added.

Still quite raw and sore...or course. The red on the tatt is blood..not part of the pic...

Glad I did it!

New Car/ Basement pre-wired

I spent a day on the long weekend wiring my basement. I have all the receptacles and lights prewired for my first inspection. MAN I hope that goes well. After the first inspection all receptacles have to be put on and the breaker box wired up. I hope I get a nice inspector.

I shoudl be getting my first tattoo tonight! YIKES!

Here are a couple pics of my new car (2007 Civic DX-G Sedan). 6 years of being broke now!
