Been working on a new weird Gundam kit, making it even weirder. Got a little spray paint on my gloves, which is why you wear gloves.

We’ve been having some mystery issues with our furnace and water heater that are (hopefully) now resolved. But the other day the heat went out in the evening which here in northern Minnesota means that the house started to get cold pretty fast. Because of this potential situation we have a few electric space heaters that keep things bearable while we wait for the nice furnace men to arrive.
Auguste, our almost 18 year old orange and white tabby cat, does not have any problem with this situation. He and the heater became fast friends and I suspect that he’d be fine with this being a permanent feature.

My wife and I have fallen back into the grip of Gundam/Gunpla building. We more-or-less straight built a few of them decades ago, and this time around we’re learning more about painting and detailed finishes. I have to admit that I don’t enjoy painting nearly as much as building them, but it’s been an interesting new process to learn about at least.
Unsurprisingly I’m drawn to the more esoteric models, like the one pictured here, the XM-X9999 Crossbone Gundam Maoh. Obviously it’s all about the giant shrieking laser skull for me (although at 1/144 scale it’s laughably small.) I have big plans for a completely different paint job, and if it works you’ll see it here first.
I promise this (probably) won’t turn into a gunpla blog. But I do have…a few more waiting in the wings.

As seen on our cemetery dog walk.


Working.
