I thought my journey had stalled in the last year, but when I went out to shovel snow tonight I noticed my snow pants were slipping off, even over a pair of jeans and long johns.

Mary Markos of NBC Boston is in Lynn, so of course used a tub of Fluff to show us how much snow has fallen.

Underbelly launcher, two side launchers and the tail launcher have been finished. With the green of the armor and the red of the missiles the color separation is starting to come into the spotlight. This thing is going to look so cool when done.

The base Liger Zero is set, including one of the an extremely tiny transparent orange piece. I was surprised to learn it’s not a perfect square, it’s a bit trapezoidal* so it has placed in just the right way.
Next build session will start up the Panzer unit armor.

I enjoy watching trailers for movies and TV shows, but can we please stop making teasers that are like “trailer coming tomorrow!”
I don’t need a commercial for a commercial.

Looking back at a post I made 9 years ago about some of gorgeous shots in Voltron Legendary Defender. It’s a shame there isn’t a nice Blu Ray release of the full series and/or an art book.

I played it for the first time this week and I gotta say, for a Game Boy game, Belmont’s Revenge has a pretty great soundtrack.

Front legs set, only about 1/3 of the way through the first hind leg. The detail and complexity continue to surprise me.

It was fun to see Endless Waltz remastered and on a big screen, though I’m always torn on some of it. Movie cut has a few more scenes and it’s one continuous piece, but I’m so used to and fond of some ways the OVA cut did things, especially music moments. (cont.)

Urdr Hunt feels like a typical Gundam side story, even if its pacing is a little weird because of the original format it’s adapted from. The core story easily matches what I expect from typical Gundam side story manga, like SEED Astray.

I’ve noticed a trend when I’ve been going to Gundam events in theaters the past few years.
At least this one has had a few more days and I suspect the dub version was more popular.

Fighting some nasal congestion so did some more work on the Liger before it was an appropriate time to take some NyQuil so I sleep through the night.
All four feet are done complete with their tiny panel lining.

I feel like owning a copy of a great classic mecha anime that inspired people resist an authoritarian government is even more important these days.
Voltes V!
The beloved mech series has gotten a fantastic remaster!
The mech action looks more gorgeous than ever!

Liger taking shape. Base body is close to complete. I wasn’t going to start the legs tonight, but I did give the claws a pedicure and painted them gold.

Stray morning thought: There needs to be fan art made of the white Loth Wolf (and cats) in the style of the Okami games.
Free idea to any artists who might be interested.
