#191 | | Bigg E Cool Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 4,201 Location: Nebraska Collection Count: 36, but more are coming | Well today was the pain in the butt first the internet went offline...reasons unknown. Then realizing that we might just buy a new computer, but won't have the original programs..so I'm po'd about that, but shit happens and well looking at my Nemesis Prime I've realize that his bumper and other parts were gray and not silver so I'm using the silver sharpie method and to tell you the truth I like it. It gives NP a more rugged look or more badass. So I hope everyone has a good day and thats it. Later.  Coming Soon: Dinobot Slash, an elgoodo creation by Ezilla82 |

I'm slowly chipping away at my custom list! I finished my Mighty Mugg Carnage a couple of nights ago and I'm really pleased with the results! After not being able to find a template to use for the black areas I just decided to free hand an outline on the figure using a black Sharpee. I filled in the outline with black paint, applied a satin clear coat and he's done!
Once I've completed my current list, I've decided on my next project and it's going to be a big one for me: I want to make an articulated Powermaster Nemesis Prime using an extra G1 Powermaster Prime that's been sitting in my closet for years! PM Prime has always been my favorite figure, so I really want to take my time with this one. I've already got some junker 'bots for the new joints that I'll be using I just need to work out the mechanics of how they'll work. This will also be my first full-sized Transformer custom!
That's it for me, gang! I'll chat with you all later! |

Collection Count: 83 on display, plus w.i.p.'s, junkers, and minicons | I didn't know you did Muggs too. I've been debating about trying one for a while now, but I have ZERO artistic talent when it comes to things like that. Do you post on Mugglab? |

#194 | | Radicon of Obliticons Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 6,499 Location: AMARILLO TX Collection Count: unsure at the moment still bashing some | Hey yall. Its been so long since ive been able to do any real indepth work on any projects. Life, Kids, Works, you know how it goes. Working on two main project ideas plus some minor mods as well. Added lights to rotf jolt and will post pics a little later.
Trying to get my hands on a gijoe bridge layer for my next bash idea as well as working on a new version of staxx. It should be interesting. Really trying to step out of my comfort zone but it takes time and that is something i have lacked lately. My son will be a year old in just two months and that has blown my mind. I dont feel old enought to have a three year old and a almost one year old. My work schedule has changed yet again but this time for the better so im actually home at night with my family instead of going to bed when they wake up. I have been trying to keep up on everyones bashes and my apologies if i havent given as much input as usual. Most of you understand how that goes im sure. Family and work must always come first. I hope you are all doing well. and for those who were wondering. yes im still alive and kickin just need to find the time to bash. |

Do you post on Mugglab? | I actually only did my Carnage Mugg because I wanted a companion to my Venom. I don't think I'll be doing anymore, honestly. I'll have to check out Mugglab... |

#196 | | Living on another planet Join Date: May 2003 Posts: 14,510 Location: Zebulon, NC Collection Count: Quite a few. News Credits: 3 | It's great seeing you guys post and share your lives! I'd like to reiterate to all Radicons that when I created this thread, I really wanted it to be a "catch all" for people to just come in and post things going on and such. I feel that if I ever wanted to create a blog only devoted to myself, there are better avenues for that sort of thing.
That being said, I really enjoy reading everything you guys have to share! This still remains as one of my absolute favorite threads in Radicons
As for what's up with ol' SQ7 lately, I've actually been able to do some customizing! Yay! I'm just about finished with both my Alternators Razorclaw and Alternators Slicer. I'm now very close to finishing Razorclaw with just a few minor things left to go. Slicer is very close as well, but there are still some minor things left to do on him. Also, Darkov is hooking me up with the translucent parts for the Wheeljack lightpiping conversion. Thanks for all you do, Darkov!
I was also finally able to start my Alternators Beachcomber today! Essentially, I was able to spray down the first base coats on him. It's certainly not an "original" idea, as I've seen others make the figure years ago. Mostly, I had contacted someone about making one for me, and the deal fell through. I don't want to rehash those things here, as I've posted a few times elsewhere about them. It's just been really cool to see a few things I've put on the back burner for a while to finally come back to the forefront  |

#197 | | Susmariocepticon Join Date: Nov 2008 Posts: 3,064 Location: The Emerald City Collection Count: 35 Cl./Uni./Hen.: 20 Autobots, 14 Decepticons, 1 Custom | A bit of a bum deal for me yesterday, I was just fired from my job as a Library Tech. on the Microsoft campus.
I'm taking it as a good thing in the sense that this is certainly a push to get me to move on. I started that job part-time while I was in college and got kind of comfortable I guess. Naturally, it would've been nice if I had found a new job first. But hey, that seems to be how things are going nowadays.
So now I'll have to go through the hassle of trying to get Unemployment and see if I can collect some of the 401K that I had saved up. Also look for another job. Hah
Here's hoping I win that $300 prize for Fantasy Basketball. LOL |

#199 | | Bigg E Cool Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 4,201 Location: Nebraska Collection Count: 36, but more are coming | Well I just realize the silver sharpie method does have one drawback...fingerprints on it. So I might use silver enamel to fix that soon. But right now I'm trying to heal myself because I threw my back out and man it hurts like hell... pardon the language. So despite feeling sore right now it'll be awhile intil I'm good.  Coming Soon: Dinobot Slash, an elgoodo creation by Ezilla82 |
