The nozzle of my harder and steenbeck airbrush sure resembles a evil building in a popular fantasy movie. 🤭

MG Rick Dom. Nearly completed! Should I do a bit of weathering, or keep it clean? #gunpla #gundam #scalemodel

This Disk Hound thing from an old anime called Crusher Joe. Not a very popular movie, but it had some really interesting model kits. #anime #gunpla #diorama #scalemodel

Some recent work on a MG Rick Dom kit. I tried something experimental this time by dabbing on artists oil paint over acrylic I had airbrushed. I’m trying to get a really nasty, mottled texture.
I feel like I kind of did that, but the oils take a very long time to properly dry. #gunpla

Been working on this Tissot SeaStar from the 70s. I’ve been wanting a good Tissot but I don’t wanna spend a lot of money on one. This was a good score on eBay and seems to be like one of their last original designs before they got bought out.

Just got this on Amazon and it’s seriously incredible for under ten dollars. I didn’t have high hopes, but sometimes Chinese made products are not only cheap but blow anything else out of the water. This writes as good as some of my expensive ones.

My collection of fountain pens. They sure are satisfying to write with and more than a bit addictive. Had a few lemons. Mostly I like the all metal ones that feel solid and a bit weighty, with a broad or stub tip.

Flying to California tomorrow for a job interview! I’ve worked at the same place 13 years now so it’s been ages. A change would be most welcome.

Some more macros of the movement of this Waltham, I think they turned out good.
It was dirty inside, with lots of dried grease and a minor bit of rust. Not too bad all in all for 80 years old.
I’ve since cleaned the whole thing and it looks almost like new.

My sister sent me this mid 1940s Waltham watch to repair. The strap was GROSS. Crusted over with decades of crystallized old man sweat. 🙈
Waltham was a big player in American watchmaking in the late 1800s but eventually the Swiss outdid them.
