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

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

A Yanornis martini skeletal to accompany the Microraptor gui.

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.

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).

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.

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

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

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).

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...

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.

I assume Steam chats would also go here?

It's largely the fault of the urban myth created by the "Gaia Hypothesis" and its silly claims of the Earth being a single organized system. The creator at one point tried to justify these claims by coming up with a far fetched story about global warming collapsing the Gulf Stream and creating...

The only issue is that if we go that far we might as well say the idea of god is in itself just humans applying our own morals onto natural or coincidental phenomena that we didn't understand. I'm not even going to bother answering this recent poll.

1. It's obviously just a bluff to gain appeal of right wing voters. Cruz however might be serious about his religious extremism. 2. They aren't already closed to all refugees? If anything they need to open their borders more in general, same for most places honestly. 3. It is objective and...

My problem with GMO's is from a copyright perspective. If you look back at the creation of GMO's they were a good thing, they were created in the public domain by institutional scientists with goals like increasing productivity and limiting the needs for pesticides and to make things like crop...

Both are definitely causing problems, the real question is which causes which currently. As much as it definitely IS RACIST for police to target blacks, in some areas it's not completely invalid. IE if I was a police officer in an area with a lot of gang activity I would be more suspicious of...

Sorry for taking so long to get these pictures up, I haven't been feeling well this week. It's not nearly finished, the bottom still needs sand (which is more difficult than I'd anticipated) and then I still need to make the flora arrangements.

This. Or is 18 voting age I legitimately don't remember? As someone living in a country he's based his policies on I can say with first hand experience that Sanders ideas not only work but they are objectively better than what you guys have right now. Also he's not socialist, like not even...

LMAO those Twitter users are so stupid this is comedy gold. "Never gonna buy your products again for your racist add that wasn't racist". As for the poll it's pretty horribly made so I voted for "Mostly good. There could be improvements, but people just like to play the "race card"" but really...

After so much time underground I was very surprised today when I saw a crab molting in the middle of its food dish. I was very nervous about it molting in the plum mash so since it had just started I moved it (I used a scoop which is what I read to do). I was very nervous moving it but it seemed...

PC, no competition.

Plus hard tacos are an Anglo invention anyway. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/where-did-the-taco-come-from-81228162/?no-ist

I don't see how that changes anything. Was the kid actually having trouble or did the add spell it out? Because the latter is dumb and patronizing but I wouldn't say racist but if you're calling some random kid racist for actually not knowing how to eat a taco that's a pretty dick move on your end.

I finally found a use for an old Exo Terra backdrop I got with my hermit crabs tank that I didn't use. I won't have anything to show for this until tonight when I can start cutting the wood but for now have some vague drawings.

I only ever make "Tacos" by chucking some meat and sauce in a hard shell and eating it, so technically I prefer hard shell tacos because with a soft shell it's just a wrap.

Obviously it will mean more to some people than others, but I figure that if you're at the point where you're at risk of self mutilation or severe depression it's probably because of an underlying psychological condition and not purely because of an inability to get reassignment surgery. And...

Reassignment isn't something life threatening so it shouldn't be covered by government health care, hormones maybe, but reassignment is hardly necessary to trans peoples mental or physical health.

Kitan Club salamander(s) and newts arrived today, very pleased with them! Japanese fire belly newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster. Two adults and a juvenile, the adults are about 1:1 scale but I'm not sure at what age they change colour so I don't know the young ones scale. Sword-tail newt, Cynops...

My pet crickets are offended. Philosophically speaking I can't think of a good reason why any life should be worth more than another, or less or more than money. Say you're a hitman and you kill one person to earn 1 million dollars but you then spend that money on a new hospital and save...

Chesapeake Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus Corvus skull made from stacked cardboard. I may use this as a base and add paper mache to make it smooth (and solid)

Actually Sanders proposals are completely viable. Looking at countries that are already using policies that he based his on like Iceland, Norway, or Canada, I can't help but notice they are working really well. The reason they have similar opinions is because Donald Trump secretly has good...

Turn on the lights in my tanks and watch my turtles angrily force themselves awake.

Blue Crab wip.

Re: Stars fan art

Hersheys is a brand so it's weird to see it alongside specific flavours/kinds of chocolate. Voted Hersheys though since they have some white chocolate and the others OFC don't.

Re: Stars fan art Some days I'm just so bored that I feel like trying to finally beat every Touhou game. Some days I make stupid goals.

It is indeed the endoskeleton of a once living infant Cthulhu.

Last pigeon update I promise. I butchered some cheap second hand stuffed animals until I found some eyes I liked that I could work with.

Been a hectic first few months with the hermit crabs, ornaments mysteriously moving or flipping over, dishes being filled in with sand, and crabs digging pits the likes of which to make Boba Fett nostalgic. Smallest only lasted a few days, but this isn't something unexpected for them. The other...

Not technically finished since I ran out of glue to finish the feet, the nails are just squeezed into place right now and it's rather wobbly where the foot meets the toes since it's just held on with wire, but it looks just like it will when it's finished! Columba livia domestica, no particular...

Lacrosse as a video game? I know what I'm gonna do. What do you mean I just wanted an excuse to post Archer gifs?
