lot of pictures, sorry ive been away so long






well lets see, ive been gone for a while, went of to edmonton, was kinda cool, got some cool pictures to show you guys just how big the mall is there. went to the chinatown part of the mall. Dad has been there before, he bought some baby octopus to nibble on, gross. ive also got images of the pirate ship inside the mall, and photos and a vidio of the dragon in the cinima at last :D

the official reason i went up ther was to pick up my stuff, wich goes back to the story about me getting my sin number and having an investigation becuse they DIDNT BELIVE HOW LONG I WAS OUT OF CANADA..... then when i went to customes to get my stuff signed through, we were stuck there for an hour as I COULDNT PROVE I HAD BEEN OUT OF CANADA LONG ENOUGH >< DAM THEM ..... lucky for me i had my manager from sainsburys write me a letter saying how nice i was ect ect, on it the letter said id worked for them for 18months :D SO YAY... got my stuff

no where to put it all, but i have it :)

helmet MKII is coming along nicely, im not gonna post a picture, instead ill save that for when its a little further along. but its doing much better than the MKI :D
now,, have some random photos....

vidio of dragon pending

a delayed happy birthday

Well first off lets start with A rather late HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEC. sorry about my silence, its been rather hectic here.

Im legaly called FRENCH now, woo, wich means i got an aplication for my socian insurrance number. But of course it wasnt that simple. I told them that i had been out of the county for a while. but they wernt sure, so i went in and had an invesitation with the iac or something,,, its like the fbi i think, or the cia, its hard to remember after the gruiling questioning.

and finaly, Fahhh the new helmet it symetrical already so fahh to you and wombles rob.. *sob* he always picks on me and my things.. Rob is why i cant have nice things :)

Emergency same day sob post [ not that bad really]

Well, as i said a little while ago, i made the helmet in an odd way, in fact a wrong way. Ive stared at it, tried to work at it, and im setting it to the side. Me and the MK1 had a lot of fun, we tried, but things didnt work out.... So at 9am tommorow ill be re-starting.

Lets take a moment, give it some silence out of resepct,,,, the next version will be better... in fact my father is helping kinda. he is gonna look into the visor for me,,, flexi plastic of some kind tinted. Cool huh, Well here are the finaly images.





dam you rob :p

Well its a tiny update. mostly pictures. the first one, Weee corndog, thats my snack today. nummy, a sweet tasty batter around a little weenie :D Tasty


.... im still not up to much, but ive picked up a dremil tool to help my armor project... Which doesnt look like monster goo Rob :P
thats about it to be honest, Sods law for the most part. I leave the counrty, and rob starts to pick up 40k again, mike moves back down,,, Bad timing on my part i guess.

ahh well, more pictures, less mutant looking this time :D

diddly all

So the updates for this one, Lets see,

step one in reply to rob, yes the cake was delicious, though i finished it today,, so much cake,, in reply to ricky, yes its hopefullky going to like like one of the helmets from halo 3...

in other news, i went to the walk in hospital thing where my mum works to have my eye looked at. While working with my dad i got some stuff in my eye, and its resulted in a lot of discomfort... they made my eye ultraviolet, and then flipped my eyelid open,, EWWWW, it felt funny, but they wouldnt take a photo for me >< so sorry no pic.

In other news, the helmet may have been built wrong,, The advice on the forums im following said to fiberglass the outside of your stuff,,, but later says the inside, and by that point its the experienced people saying it,,, DOH



and last, a picture of my dog loving my dads nose :D



thats about it really, Thanks for any and all comments, facebook doesnt respond well on the laptop, so im replying on this really and emails. Your all keeping my saine :D thankyou

double whopper with resin and cake

Ok, so, where to start....

Step one, I made a wonder full guinnis cake, its rather good, moist, fresh, lots of topping, and everyone adores it [ Thank you Rhi rhi for ever showing me this cake. if you have any suggestion, i cook all the time over here so id love to get feedback]




Step two. Yesterday evening, I went off roading. It was crazy, everyone else was rather disappointed as there was no mud. but dam it was cool and scary. In a 4 cylinder 4x4, we went up, down, slightly to the side, at crazy angles. Sometimes when going over a ridge and down a slop, the angle curved so much, you couldnt see the road, only the floor in the distance. DAM that was cool, Im gonna rent a quad for next time though, actually drive with them. Sadly my phone didnt manage great pictures in a bouncing 4x4 going along a dirt trail in the middle of no where.







AND FINALLY
last step, i got a lil high today in the garage, I started playing with resin and hardeners and stuff, coated up the helmet. So woo when it dries i can do the inside, and fiberglass it,,, then bondo it,, then sand, smooth, paint, and add a visor, :D

a hard nock life


Oh how i suffer, ive spent the morning working with my dad, helping him fit glass into a pickup truck. It was actualy rather fun really, Stripped off the old glass, preped and cleaned the new windsheild... aplied the suff,,, and then wham, stuck it on :D and i did a good job...
Then we did the next job,,, replace a small plastic window in a trailer.. Man was this one tough. All the wood in the frame was rotten, totaly, so we did what we could, and applied a LOT of sylicon to it to get it to stay in some kinda shape :D It took a mere three and a half hours to do that one,, phew a lot of work.
[ and sorry about the quality of the image, im working off a low pixel phone there]

bwahaha armour
in preperation for the next part, i stoped off at home base and picked up some supplies,,,,, fiberglass matting, fiberglass resin, body filler, glue, hardener, sandpaper in grades 80, 200, 400, 600... saftey glasses, resperator. and some other stuff ...... tommorow,, wahaha

So, im stuck in the house, playing around. my dad had a go at steel battalion and heck, he might even play it again....gasp.. but its all good, he is rather impressed though at the same point, diapointed that the controler is only for one game. I can understand, after all its all about inputs and outputs,, so why cant it work for others.. hmmm....

Well in a fit of boredom, i went with my sister to beaverlodge... there is a motel there, an A&W [ its a burger joint built up around its great rootbeer]....... and a 15ft tall beaver statue. pretty cool i guess, in a giant beavery way. its well built, but there are some badly matched seams in it.

Still working away on armor now,,, and ive actualy started it so yay
no photos yet, but ahh well, maybe later,,, :D

and john, im rather glad i bought it,,, remembered just how much fun it is.

Gasp, an update


Well here i am, Still in Canada. Still not doing much, AND I MEAN THAT.

so, lets see, with such a thrilling life i thought that i would post weekly now or something, unless something amazing happens...

Master update, I picked up a copy of STEEL BATTALION. thats the old Xbox game, with that massive controler. pretty good for £60 i figured. gonna play at that to aleviate the boredom.

Aside from that, having gotten really bored i walked into town. to reach staples it only took me about an hour. So that was rather good i guess. Ive gotten some card, some foamboard, superglue and a glue gun.. YES THATS RIGHT, IM FINALY MAKING ARMOUR...
its been what, three years with me saying i wanna make something, Well i fianly have gotten off my ass, and started something,.. once it gets underway ill post images. let you know the grand outcome..

I watched nine yesterday as well. im not sure what to say, it was a good film, very well done. BUT, despite how nice it was to watch. if felt so very short. I mean it, It was over in moments im sure.... But the half an hour wait before that was fun,, Started a popcorn war with a friend hehe.

OH YEAH, SORTED OUT COMMENTS BOX, ANYONE CAN DO IT NOW, NOT JUST PEOPLE WHO ARE REGISTERED

Monday, September 7, 2009

Lets see

update huh, that sounds good. Lets start off with yesterday. It was a good day, it was a fine day. It was a very very drink day...
Me and my father went out to meet up with one of my fathers co-workers and his father, sounds good, well it was. But at the same time, there was alchoaul, in fact there was a lot of it. 10 vodka redbulls, half a guines, 1 shot of goldslagur, two melon lequres, one very odd drink [ that was on the house] that was two hots of something, nand lime juice, and a ceaser later.... well i was drunk, and so was my dad [ who only drank guines]

We were very drunk, wrestling on the way home. struggling to get dad up the stairs once we were there and many other things that i cant say for fear of offending him. All in all a good day. Though after the guiness my tummy was sensitive so i didnt sleep well, and when i got to sleep i dreamt of making guiniss cake all night......darn.

RIGHT NOW
I have just come in from watching inglorious bastards....... and once more dam you quinten tarenteno.. it wasnt to bad in some parts,,, but for the most of it, i was honestly considering the 24km walk home. Just lock him up now for crimes against films...

peace out in the mean time

crime craft

Well, in an attempt to relive my boredom ive started to play crime craft. working my way through it slowly it seems ok, But its so new that there working on it. there sales pitch is that they want everyone to be unique, and with five whole sets of clothing i can see them managing that. seems ok, but at the same time, its rather limited. Ill see how it goes so far.

Stll no PC or Models...... no pc and no models make chris something something

All the sleep im getting over here is giving me the most wonder full dreams

Yesterday i had a dream, it involved space pirates. On massive pirate ships [ yes the wooden ones] But with engines built into them. some one stole my ship and i had to get it back, whilst tracking them down to a luxury liner

Today i started out as myself, but i was in this strange land, and there were two people at war. humans and from what i could tell, slightly taller humans. but the Not humans used a technology that was all Crystal and all there metal had a tint of purple... But while exploring i ended up talking down some of the not humans from stealing an old satellite from a museum. and starting peace between the two,,, and with how well i did that, they made me captain of the first Dual species space ship...... and it went on, YAY

not sure what else to ramble on about really, Yep its another day,,, cant go anywhere, As even in the city, to walk to the cinema, its 25kms each way.... and i have no money of course so,, look forwards to another exciting post by me,,,,, containing random junk :D

tum te tum

update,,, update,, i know im supposed to update... MUST THINK OF SOMETHING INTERESTING

well lets see, ive got Crime craft From steam. havent played it yet as the family Internet is rather slow, been downloading it for about nine hours so far. Ill tell you people what its like when i actually play...

been invited to go to ninjutsu. might end up doing it, get all kung foo ish to keep in shape, bwahaha,,,,, erm, what else, what else,,

Ahh for two and a half days after that camping trip i was walking like an old man, hobbling along like a cripple,, YAY,,,,


Ohh as an added note, Ive started watching Deadlyest warrior, its a neat slightly silly show that pits people or groups from all over time against each other,,, ninjas VS spartans, Taliban VS ira...... my favouret one so far :D

,,,,, PIRATES VS KNIGHTS
and yes, pirates won, with the blunderbuss, grenada, flintlock, cutlass and boarding axe,,, VS the knights morning start, broadsword, platemail, crossbow and halbard,,, they worked out the pirate would win, being lighter, and with more ranged things,,, COOL. then they get actors to play it out
YAY PIRATES
