In LA

Oops... should've made that three weeks. Anyway, got back from Oahu yesterday and in LAX  right now! Hawai'i was amazing; we even went to the summit of Mauna Kea, that's over 13,800 feet (4206 metres) !!!
I was feeling pretty woozy cause of the lack of air and I took a laughing fit in the car for no reason whatsoever :P

Boarding the plane to London in about 3 hours time, gonna be on the plane 10 and a half hours :( At least I have my iPod and my DSi to entertain me ;D

The time difference between LA and Britain is 8 hours, so it means that I'm leaving at 5:35 LA time and arriving in London 12 :00 British time. Plus another 1 and a half hours on the plane, waiting for luggage ( if only you knew how slow BA is) and the taxi back home, I'll only get home at about three, maybe four.

The food here is yummy, bye!

America tomorrow!

Going to America tomorrow! Gonna spend the first week in CA and the second in Hawaii! Did I mention they're filming Pirates 4 there? (JOHNNY DEPP! :3 i love him) I might see them shooting it ;)

Be back in two weeks, bye!

Big parts mean big progress!

King's hull was a breeze because the parts were so big! The grey parts on deck don't look that hard either, so I might get them done before I go ;)

Summer holidays!

They started the day before yesterday but now's the time to announce it! Primary school's over, Secondary here I come! You can hardly tell it's summer here 'cause of the rain, but sometimes it's sunny too. This is quite long notice, but I'm going to America on the 8th July and coming back on the 28th. Also, King's head is coming along pretty well!

Some progress on Zelda...

I finished some of the head ornament-y things and glued them on just there, so she's looking a bit more complete, apart from her arms and hands which I still have to finish. Also, check out my DeviantART here ;)

Stay tuned!

One day is all it takes!

I finished outlining and coulouring it in yesterday, so here it is!

The King of Red Lions

I couldn't find my PVA glue so I decided to draw something. I started doodling and found myself trying to draw the King of Red Lions, so I stuck with that and finished the sketch! If I find my glue and finish Zelda then I might build Ninjatoes' King of Red Lions.

WW Zelda! Finally I got something done...

Here's Wind Waker Zelda! There's been a lot going on lately and a heap of homework I had (and still have) to do, but despite all that I found some free time to build her! I still need to finish her though, 'cause I've only built her head and body so far.

SSBM Link is finished!!

Finally, he's done! Do you like him? It took a lot of time but it was definitely worth it ;) I might start work on WW Zelda (when I get some more thick paper) or finish Salvatore.

Left hand and arm

Link's left hand and arm came along pretty well! I'm gonna start working on the sword now.

Medli's stand

Since I didn't want to make the stand a tiny container with some plasticine on it, I made this out of a painted aerosol can cap.

Since the Wind Waker is largely based on the sea, I painted waves along the bottom of it ;)

Finished Medli

She won't stand up on her own because her ponytail is too big and her feet are sorta tiny, but if you put something under the ponytail she'll stand up fine. This is one of my favourite models so far!

Improvise!

Because cutting out the very thin strips of paper which were meant to be the strings turned out to be a bit too hard, I decided to glue some thread to the lyre to make it look a bit more realistic. I think it turned out pretty well ;)

Medli

All I've got to do now is make her legs, hands and lyre. I'll get some of it done today, so there'll be an update later today or tomorrow.

Lack of blogging... sorry... :'(

I forgot to warn you and I feel bad about it. Anyway, now you'll know why I was away. I was at music camp at Gartmore for a week and the concert at the end was really good! I was in the first clarinets. I'm just about to watch some Doctor Who and work on Medli's ponytail and head, so stay tuned!

X-Acto stylus knife

Here is my new invention... the X-Acto stylus knife! I got the idea when I was trying to multi-task by cutting out stuff and playing Spirit Tracks on my DSi, as I was using the non-knife end of the X-Acto knife to: well, tap stuff. One of my old styluses kept on falling out of the DS, so I cut off the end and glued it on to the knife.

The fish fingers at the end of the vid is the setting for my new stop motion, incase you were wondering ;)

All mangled up

Building without referring to a .pdo as often as you should can result in your model being completely wrong. Salvatore's arms ended up in a very akward position, so I'm gonna print out the page again, start a bit on Medli, hopefully get some work done on SSB:M Link's left hand and then go back to Salvatore. Also, I think I just invented something awesome :O I'll hopefully show it to you guys tomorrow!

Why the long face?

The perfect face for a bored man running a a minigame stall on an island with the only appearing customer being Link.

Salvatore

As I have already printed him out, I might as well start building him first. I'm scoring him right now ;)

ST Link base finished

Here it is... you will realise that a glue gun can also be very useful to a papercrafter ;)

P.S. Sorry about my hair; I didn't realise it got in the way.
