Looks like I haven't posted since January...... Whoops. Had some personal issues I had to deal with earlier on in the year. I could of posted something on the Taokaka retractable claws but I haven't labeled them as 'working' and 'final'. The Taokaka claws did go on a 'test run' at Katsucon and for the most part didn't really work as I saw it in my head. Adjustments are currently being made and

This is a little post on some upgrades to the Mini Ninja's Samurai armor I have done since Dragon*Con.These pieces are shoulder pieces that connect the front to the back pieces of armor. I originally had these covered with joint compound but since these pieces flexed a lot the joint compound didn't stay. So for the modified versions, I took off all the joint compound and decided to go with craft

Let me start off saying that I should of started this project in the summer or at least in the spring. Thankfully the fall weather was kinda enough to me to finish all painting before it basically got too cold to do any kind of painting. Thank You Mother Nature! :)As far as I can remember I've always wanted an arcade cabinet, especially when I saw that arcades in malls actually sold them. Since

I didn't get to post an entry earlier because I was working up to the last day before I left for Dragon*Con and I just got the pieces of armor back just yesterday and finally got a chance to take pictures. Over all I'm pretty happy with the results and have learn a lot about how everything worked out. The pieces of armor have taken some battle damage but I've already have plans to change some of

Wow, last update was in March! :p Was either too lazy or too busy to update.... or maybe both. :) Well, with due dates looming, I've picked up the pace. Not just working on the weekends anymore. One thing I can't really believe is how long its taken to get where I am right now. :| Technically it shouldn't have taken this long but the details that have prevented me from going forward have been

Decided one day at work that I was gonna make a blog for all things made and/or modded by me, so here I am.What I'm working on now is a mock up of a suit of samurai armor. Its not gonna be an authentic replica of one, but one that is a bit simpler to match a game. Found a pattern for a 'Hotoke Do' at this place and modified for my body size. Was gonna make the whole suit out of craft foam but
