I’m away from home, meaning I can’t do Gunpla and have to occupy myself with video games. Soooooo, here’s the 30th anniversary Gundam I painted roughly half a year ago. I tried to do some sort of masking, but I hand painted it, meaning I kept running out of paint, and had to remix stuff. It bled a lot, some paint wouldn’t stick. And other bs like that. Lesson here? Really light grey is a really crappy colour to mix. I completely lost all of the panel lines due to the thick paint. I’m tempted to strip and redo the whole thing, but can’t bring myself to destroy something I put effort in, and there’s always the Real Grade…when I get paid :/
And as usual, I forgot the other things that I was going to say.
tl;dr. Yes. I do know it looks bad. It’s hand-painted.
Boxes are piled up in my room, bags ready to be filled with food. Yep. It’s that time again.
Within the past year I’ve lived at 3 places. This will be my fourth. And I’ve moved so many times that I need two hands to count them. In the fall term, I stayed in residence; winter term I worked, so I moved off campus; and spring term I moved back onto residence, living shortly at home in between. The car has been full a lot.
I begin my second year at university on Tuesday, and tomorrow I move into Waterloo, after being at home for a whole three weeks. Can I say that I’m getting used to this? It’s very different environment, living with other students, that often hide in their rooms gaming or studying, compared to living at home, with family members that nag you about inconsequential details.
Even more strange is the fact that I’ll be staying with my friend and his girlfriend. I’m not sure what to make of this, or whether or not it will be awkward for me. I couldn’t really refuse when he requested that his girlfriend stays with us. Maybe a girl will keep the place cleaner? I find her habits and schedule pretty strange, but I guess it goes both ways. I know her pretty well, but still, I cannot help but wonder how awkward it can be.
I’ve also been stressing over work lately. I lied when I said I’m starting second year, but I’m on a co-op program where I cycle between work and studying. This coming term will be work. I’m going to a conference in November in Vancouver, and there are still a lot of details that haven’t been figured out. I’ve registered for it, but I’m not sure whether or not it has been confirmed. There is still some issues of pay that I have not completely sorted out. I have no idea what I am to do in Vancouver, or when the exact dates are. I know there is still time, but for something this important, I feel expected to plan something, and not try to do everything last minute as I usually do. I really hope this works out.
And my boxes aren’t as full as they used to be. This concerns me.
I am one lazy bum. This thing’s been done for almost a week now, and I shoot it now. Bleh. I seem to have taken a break from Gunpla this week, mainly due to going out with my friends (ie. having a real life) a lot lately. I went over a lot of the details with Testor’s Silver enamel. I might go back and do a bit more detailing, with gold or something.
ZOMG A VIDEO. (because it shows off stuff better).
