The MG 42 is a rather large weapon.

Plus add on the extended butt stock and it gets longer. Plus the beta mags are HUGE!

It's been a long month but it was a rather busy month. First up are da hands. Jazz hands!
I bought these 1/100 scale Mechanical Hands from Hobby Base from HLJ and a good thing too. They were low on stock.
Image
Image

And after a bit of modifying, the hands fit onto Sgt. Chromedome and the fingers wrapped around the gun and trigger.
Image

And a bit of an update on my house but not much of one. I bought some trim moldings. Need more though.
Image
Image

But the most impressive is this new set I have made up that involves the window section wall of the di-stage ... crap. I can't remember now.
Image
Image

And in this shot, I have installed windows.
Image

And the backside of the wall during construction.
Image

And the wall with flooring done.
Image
Image
Image

Image

At the moment, I am updating my base walls so they can hold together without cloth pins. I may resort to copper tubes and pins but, we'll see. Let me know what you peeps think.

Excuse my French (which is totally required), but holy shit, those foggy windows are fucking amazing, they'd kick ass to simulate foggy nights and snowy days! Diddly!

That's okay. I'm part German. lol. It is some sort of plastic sheeting that we use here a lot for that exact purpose. I could of used clear plastic but the foggy one will make for some interesting photography. The floors I will redo on glossy photo paper to give it a waxed look.

Photo paper is really good to simulate stuff like marble (done that with my Black Rock Shooter di:stages), but sometimes the tint will make it matte, so I think the best would be to put a thin transparency over the printed paper.

Are the windows made from tracing paper?

Too thin and fragile. I'll have to get back on you on that. I just used it out of scraps.

And it's time for a great update.

The homemade yukata has came off.
Image

And a new one arrived.
Image
Image

And wow, does she look great.
Image

And it came with the broom.
Image

So, for sake of my comic series, Reycal has became Mia.

It's time to check my head again. I present to you a new project!

Image
Image
That's right. I am building a small shinto shrine. Currently, I am making the haiden, where worshippers to go offer their prayers to the kami or deity's. This one will be dedicated towards neko kami's.
Image

This will be a large building in terms of its height thanks to its massive roof that is too large to draw on the graph paper that I have.
Image

The walls are double layers of glued cardstock 110 pound paper.
Image

And are crudely assembled like this.
Image

Mia, my Reycal with the miko's kimono on, is a happy girl.
Image

So much for being happy. Well, the holes for the doors and windows have been cut out. Should of done this first.
Image

And Mia presents the front wall that is 75% done. More as I continue.

And another update.

The outside trim is painted and done.
Image

The inside trim and the deck are done.
Image
Image

And poor Mia. Her job is never done. Now she has to clean up my mess.
Image

Her new job title should be shrine maid.
Image

I am making this as a prototype to sell on ebay for $200 USD. If goes well, the walls on those will be made out of styrene and better wood. If I sell two, then my collection and then start to grow; starting with the Full Puni Tomoe and the figma Hakurei Reimu. With that, I will start to build other portions of a complete shinto temple and maybe rent my own space out. Maybe that's all too much but that is the plan. More updates as I go along.

Update time again!

The deck being built.
Image
Image

And work on the front wall. THIS was very time consuming to do.
Image
Image

And the basic building is done.
Image
Image
Image

And the deck is done.
Image

And time to show Mia throughout the shrine.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

With the bottom done, I am now in the process of building the roof for it. Updates as I go along.
