    The last thing you bought

    I was so fond of my 1:1 goose I decided to finish the family with the higher end model.

    The last thing you bought

    I got very lucky at Value Village the other day, I found a Smithsonian Dragonfly! At first I thought it was the Hidden Kingdom dragonfly so that was a pleasant surprise. My shelf of large terrestrial inverts is quickly expanding. The tip of the tail is worn down but other than that great...

    The last thing you bought

    Acquisitions for June and July: Schleich Alligator Boxed Set - Not normally one for Schleich, but at $4 I practically felt obligated to buy them! Papo Barn Owl and Albino(?) Nile Crocodile - I chose the albino since being the juvenile it can double as an albino alligator whereas the...

    Stars custom figures and repaints

    I was fortunate enough to receive an amazing Flashforge Finder for my graduation, here's a quick sample of what's been finished so far (a few other things printed that I haven't painted yet). And that Macaw skull has larger aspirations still: I'm thinking of creating a full scale...

    The last thing you bought

    The other day I bought a third (yes third) Squawkers McCaw/Macaw with the hope of hacking/reprogramming it as a summer project. No luck on that yet, but in the meantime I skinned it (and repainted some of the parts to look more like a robotic parrot, rather than like the insides of a robotic...

    Stars custom figures and repaints

    For a long while now I've been seeing these lovely display stands (I think they're from a Japanese store on YAJ that makes them by hand, but don't quote me on that), and I've been thinking it would be fun to make one. I actually finished it some time ago but I only just got it set up in a...

    Stars mostly meh drawings of animals

    I made a Microraptor skeletal, there must totally be a shortage of those. This is for an upcoming project, keep your eyes peeled in the coming months (especially if you own a 3D printer). If you're curious about the pose it's in the initial downstroke during a takeoff.

    Who are you voting for (or would vote for if you could)?

    This. I have a slightly personal hatred of Clinton and I'd rather see basically anyone in the white house (besides Cruz because he's a psycho).

    Stars custom figures and repaints

    Expect to be seeing something else before this is finished but it's the first extinct thing I've started in a long while so I figured I'd post the plans for it. Unfortunately I don't have a reference for how tall Figmas are at hand.

    Believe in Parallel Universes ?? Taured

    This whole idea seems like a bad Fringe meme. *shot*

    The Nostalgia Thread

    I am darkness. I am horror. I am the consumer of all that is "nostalgia".

    Stars custom figures and repaints

    Well, as it turns out the thing I was planning didn't work out so well after all, so here's the touched up tailless version. I'm pleasantly surprised to find the balance hasn't been noticeably altered (which is to say it still barely stands up).

    Stars custom figures and repaints

    Repainted Safari ltd. Raphus based loosely on the painting by Ustad Mansur but having done it from memory I only realized after uploading these that I goofed a few bits. I opted to keep the tail however inaccurate since I have something else planned with this model in the very near future, but I...

    the official "u did it" thread

    I mean yah she sounds like an idiot but she's kind of right. What if she really was trying to find her seat? Kicking someone out without first asking them to stop, and without giving them a refund is absolutely not how a theater should handle that sort of situation.
