I have an empty 120 gallon tank sitting in my kitchen. I decided we didn't need a dining room table much to Lana's disapproval. At least I didn't come home with the Kangaroo like I wanted to. It was a rather nice vivarium with toads, fish, crabs, ghost shrimp, newts and a turtle until I accidently killed most of them. Here goes attempt two...

I went to a Con and saw some really cool miniature setups and thought to myself, "I can do that. In fact, I can to it better." Well, I did all the research I needed and hit jackpot with Hirst Arts (check the links page). He took me step by step on how to do what he already did. Why not simply buy the mold sets he's painstakingly made? Simple. I can do that. In fact, I can do it better...

I bet Lana thinks I forgot about this project, it's been sitting on the back burner for so long. I want to make a samurai costume. I want it to be as authentic as possible but I want to use lighter materials (abs plastic). This one is gonna be a tough one. I'm not sure if it'll be done this year or next... or the one after.

This is a pretty old passion of mine. I remember as a kid playing on the beaches of Oahu with my brother wishing I could build something wonderful. Not some kiddy castle made out of molded buckets but something trully spectacular to look at. Well, I'm gonna give it a try pictures and all. While the end result won't be something I can take home or keep, this is probably the most fun because it brings back a lot of memories of back in the day... Besides, I can work on my tan right?

I finally found my VW bus! It was way the heck out in Mesa, Arizona but I think it was worth it. I'll be restoring this 1966 Volkswagon Microbus one step at a time. I'm sure many frustrating hours lay ahead but I'm actually looking forward to it. Come take a look at my beach mobile!!
