I love that the writers who helm the Predator/Yautja movies and books are so creative. There's at least one new and horrible weapon in every story. I particularly liked the power fist thing in Predator: Killer of Killers - The Shield.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2206. Stuff wot I dun ternite. Not much, but happy. Watching Yautja movies tonight - LOVED Killer of Killers. On to Prey.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2205. Bit of work on the Osiris tonight. I *think* the ram is a bit more readable now.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2203. Got that green wire basecoated and glued on, now that the power's come back on. Watching Wonka this evening, at least for another hour or so. Amusing thus far. Also, my leg is *almost* sutured up.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2202. I'm hoping I've painted enough black to keep the interior of the mechanical bits dark. Suppose we'll find out once I glue the panels in.

I have acquired a clarinet. I do not play the clarinet.

I love Goodwill. Haven't read this gem since middle school.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2201. I *think* these panels are done now. We'll, the first one anyway. The second needs a green wire.

I are happy.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day...I'm just gonna say 2200, 'cuz I think it's correct. Been building AND painting the past couple nights, just been too tired (drunk) to post. Work is sucking the life out of me lately.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2197. Panel number two built. Too tired to paint it tonight, though.

I can cross seeing the Aurora Borealis off my bucket list.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2196. Work on the second panel is progressing nicely, watching the second Star Trek in the Kelvin Timeline while I do so.

In my opinion, the birth of James T. Kirk/Death of the NCC Kelvin is one of the most powerful scenes in sci fi cinema.

@realgdt.bsky.social 's Frankenstein was bloody AMAZING. Truly a work of art, I loved every bit of it. The music in the last scene with Victor and his creation was particularly poignant.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak days 2194 & 2195. I just KEEP finding new guns to play with. This broken one was in the attic closet. Found it while getting Xmas stuff out. Feeling better, time to start.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2193. I've been sick, but hobbying on Timekeeper MkII a bit. I'm missing 3 baggies of watch parts/gears, so I'm kinda stuck in this first inlay panel. I've got the piston built, but I cant put it on yet.

A brief video of æther.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2191. This is where Timekeeper MKII is currently at. I left the holes open for the time being, just to show what a PAIN IN THE ASS this gun will be. So far, so good, though. It still functions as a Nerf gun should, which is the plan.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2190. 99% done with Slave One. All it needs is paint, 2 guns, and a shattered window (i have a plan on that one). As for now, I have a steampunk gun to work on. Several ideas there...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak days 2186-89. Sorry for the delay, kids. Been working on finishing out Slave One, but had a seizure in between. Here's the ship in final stages. The fuselage is also complete, but I don't have pics of it as yet.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2185. More assembly on this (rather fussy) Slave One kit. Or sub assemblies, more like. Hoping to finish building by the weekend. Also, started planning on a new blunderbus pistol. Or æther pistol, whichever.

Today was a Good(will) day...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak days 2182-83. I'm putting WAY too much effort and work into Slave One (yes, I realize that's not PC. Or is PC even a currently used term?) for something that will end up as a - really cool - terrain piece...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2181. Finally matched the blue to the original. I've got to do it all tonight, however, as i mixed a bunch, but I don't have a wet palette...

This is excellent!

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2180. I KNOW it's barely noticeable (if at all), but Soundwave has a *slightly* darker blue on his left leg now. Also, I got a haircut today.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2179. $2 yard sale pickup. I'm not sure if it can be steampunk'd, but by jove, I'm going to try.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2178. Taking some tippy toe baby steps on my first Sacred Heart Sister. Doing so because she belongs to my wife. Ultimately, however, she belongs to an Inquisitor aboard the Obsidian. I *think* she follows Inquisitor Giovanni Carlo. I have that shit written down...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2177. Back to Soundwave. Added bits where necessary, started painting. The blue needs to be darker to be accurate, but he's looking good so far.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2176. Another session of steampunk building. Holdout pistol, fits in the palm of my hand. Not looking very steam yet.

I am very literally being paid fifteen bucks an hour to stand around.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2175. Well, here he is, as cleaned up as I could get him. It doesn't really matter so much, as all I need of him is his head and right arm. I have an entirely different, more feral, body in mind for him...

Scored this at the local food pantry today. Not food, per se, but I AM needy...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2174. I rattlecanned this guy a while back - very VERY badly. Looks like he's been given the bad touch from Grandfather Nurgle. So I'm going to try and salvage him tonight.

Pasta Arrabiata e Dolce cooking. Hobby in another couple hours.

I finally got round to watching RDJ's depiction of Sherlock Holmes. I quite liked it, which I hadn't anticipated. Hopefully the sequel will be good as well.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2173. Now that I've reclaimed my desk, did some work on my Mechanicus Inquisitor. Quite a lot of work, actually.

Kenny G followed me today. Should I feel honored?

Believe it or not, this actually works...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak days 2169-72. To update: my shop got flooded out a few days ago, so mostly we've been cleaning up and repairing the damage as best we can. I've been limited to painting at the kitchen table, where the light sucks, so what I've done sucks accordingly. Just some MOTU minis...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2168. My wife and I have been invited to a Steampunk Ball here in town on Nov 1st. Whilst we're not hurting for clothing, we need to accessorize. Therefore, I'll be building guns for a bit...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2167. I didn't like this servitor model when I got him - he was part of a set. Now that I have some paint on him, I think I like him even less.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2166. Now that the Lord Inquisitor is done, I'm focusing on the rest of his small retinue (they ride on the Ascension Chair with him). It consists of his 3 Ogryn carriers (unnamed as yet), a gun servitor, a Sister Repentia, a Commissar, and an Autosavant.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2165. I'm glad I bought this model for Lord Inquisitor Heerkan Rees. SO many fun opportunities. Like this Servitor.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2164. I *could* have called him done a week ago, but now I'm finally happy with Postulant Santiago Múnoz.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2163. In the end, I decided Santiago Múnoz needed some yellow in his life. Couple tiny details, and he's done. Although...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak days 2161 and 2162. First, some work on Señor Múnoz. It's hard to believe his robes were yellow at one point. I think he's mostly done, except for his bandolier of shotgun shells.

Sorry, but "lick her asshole while she's reading a book" is one of the best lines in modern cinema, courtesy of Netflix' "The Fall of the House of Usher."

@sgtopie.bsky.social how you been, Sarge?
