SteamHammer Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 So far mixed. Pros: got pressies. Cons: at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I used loctite super glue (the really strong stuff) and it's been working great for assembling the plastics. ---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ---------- Ah yes, that's definitely a mark against. Oh well, I've always ended up working my birthday since I started working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Likewise. The days of parties with balloons and cake are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 It's not so bad, honestly. Not like I do anything particularly special, lol. I just make sure to go spend the whole day out at the gaming club that Saturday. (yawn) I am so tired. Today needs to hurry up and end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Wish I had the day off. Only got a little bit of painting done last night as I decided to re-sculpt the green stuff beak for aJustice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 How'd that go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Looks a lot better now. More like a crow whereas the old one looked like Gonzo from the muppets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Ah, poor Gonzo. So misunderstood. Still, him and Rizzo the Rat made Muppet Christmas Carol the best Muppet movie of all time. Wonderful foils there. And Gonzo playing Dickens was amazing. Glad to hear you made progress with it! Looking forward to seeing the modification. How hard was it to do?

SteamHammer Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Not too hard. Just took some clippers to the old green stuff and it cracked off then pushed a little bit of new stuff onto it and prodded it until I got lucky and it resembled the beak I wanted. I'm not talented enough to really sculpt something, but little parts like that or messy broken things like the body aSeamus is dragging should look ok after painting.

edonil Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Gotcha. Still, looking forward to seeing it. Is it anywhere near the painting block yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 It's on the go but as I knew I wanted to redo the beak I've only put a bit of black on her boots and some brown washes on the base. Probably need a large chunk of weekend painting to finish it as I'll be busy tonight. Too early for even WIP photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 It's never too early for WIP photos! *looks at his Lucius sculpt* ok, maybe it can be. Happy birthday! I tend to work mine when it doesn't have a bank holiday attached, but the I try to ignore mine as best I can. Busy work day today consisting of an ikea trip followed by assembling new desks in the office. I miss the days when being a scientist meant working in a lab...

Mako Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well, hopefully ikea will save me from my night time freezing. Failing that I'm going to go and find one today when I get back. Sick of waking up ice cold, it's no fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osoi Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Nice bunch of stuff there Shaper Well this should be an interesting day, I get to start teaching myself how to use solidworks ... then after that others in the office. It looks like a lot of new processing software we are looking at is going to work off solidworks models so no better time than now to start learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Sounds good, always nice to learn something new. I got myself a duvet, woo! No more freezing my ass off! Also a little bedside table, a lamp, and a totally unnecessary massive rug. But it's so pretty I had to have it. Damn you ikea... And spending the entire afternoon making desks and rearranging the office was great fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hey everyone, how goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm not too bad, pleased about having a nice warm duvet, so once I can be bothered to make the bed I might actually go read the iron quill entries in my new and improved cosiness! How about you? Work trundling on ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Eh. New project, second run of them since the prototypes, and they aren't especially endearing themselves to me. Oh well, it could be worse. And it is Thursday, so that's always a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ah true, only two days to go until a couple of days of sleep and freedom. As a sculpting update hopefully, now the progress is slightly less embarrassing! Dodgy stuff that is still a bit prototypy then? ---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 AM ---------- Ok, I'm a cretin. I just started reading the quill entries, and then realised as I got partway into the fourth that I was reading my own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ha! That's hilarious. Yeah, this particular customer's designs are usually crap. Glad to see the tradition is still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 All, it wouldn't do for him to do it right and spoil the flow of the pattern! I think I've decided on the entries, a nice small round makes reading them all fairly fast. Will pm you my votes. Now to choose whether to try and do anything with the last moments of the evening, or give up for the night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
