Well lets have a lookie see what to say.
watched mega mind. A funny film, i enjoyed it immensely, it was both funny and at the same time had a wonderful humor and theme that even as an adult was thoroughly enjoyable. Its a definite recommended film.
The legs, dam them and yay at the same time. They made such progress and now i hit a block, like a writers block but builders, and i wouldn't say builders block as im sure thats a copyrighted toy or something. Its just a pain, might upload photos of them or something, just Gahhh at the momenta bout them........
Games, still definitively recommending Enslaved, journey to the west. played it, enjoyed it. Thought the voice acting was good, the animation was nice, give it a try and just play it, dont analyze it.
hehe its not really a mega post, But im trying once agian to post more often, not sure why really. At worst i just ramble in them, at best i talk. Maybe i should start doing blogs in poem or lyricism style, who knows. Any how, ta ta for now, and byeeee england [ and parts of canada now'

gasp, a week
Alright lets take a lookie see. The art for the costume is coming along slowly. things such as they are, and artists being artists take there time so thats all well and good.
SKYLINE
just watched it... not sure how i feel about it. I liked it i think. Or at least,, i think i liked it. Watching it was nice, the small people simply trying to survuve was good. But to me it felt like it needed something more. Something else, maybe more time. Maybe a more diffiniteve ending. Who knows. All i know is it wasnt bad i think.
finaly picked up halo reach. But this means getting Xbox live. Promised ricky i wouldnt play it or the new gears of war without him And dammit a promise is a promise. So we shall see soon enough....
didnt have the ork game this week, it was rememberence day and i spent it working on the garage with my dad. pretty good time to be honest. We worked well together, the room is insulated and all tidy, just have to put up the drywall on it now. so yay proud
thats it for now. Might add to this, who knows.
night night england.

darn you blog
Alright alright, so i dont update as often as rob does. I just get side trakced by the SSDD stuff, meaning that most of the time its boring bloggy stuff.
so where to start, step one, as i often ramble about wanting to build things and make extravagant costumes that mostly tend to simply be wild dreams. I started last year by building the stilts. I was happy with them but the project took so long it ground itself into a halt. The legs were good,. but the six odd months it took to make them was to long.....
So there i am reading robs blog, hearing of wild larps in the 40k universe and darn it, i want.... so what do i do, i pull out the legs, stare at them and the fun times begin.... Thus the MKII digileg stilts are made no photos yet. But the process can be explained. WARNING it contains pain and exhaustion.
So i bought some PVC piping, had some fun cutting it up and then heating it to 270 degrees until it softened then spent a few hours holding BURNING plastic to my legs to get the shape i wanted out of it... all good :D had some help and a wet towel to cool off....
stage two,., making them... so there i am in the garage at about eight at night, cutting drilling and experimenting with a friend called christoph. the right leg takes us about seven hours to do as we measure, cut ponder and smack our heads into the floor. the left dam leg takes an hour and a half. and that includes cleaning up the place. Yes thats right, i finished it at about 4 am >< BLARG...... but still they look good, move much more fluidly than the first set, they dont have the massive bar at the end and the shoddy orange cable :D some more work to do next week and then wham. I build another set for my arms...... then the actual costume. I dont know what its going to look like... i might make a skitari or something for the 40k thing rob does and see if they want an NPC if it looks cool and tech priesty enough
So thats the thing im blogging about today, the urge to actually finish a project has come to my mind. heck if anyone has any suggestions. Im currently pondering a quadsuit idea with stilts everywhere. So any suggestions or even ideas, send them in by all means. Ive got people pondering over here :D
