Cool, did you ever find that chrome paint?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did, but it would cost me $115.00, and since I can't get those damn lottery people to draw the right numbers I won't be getting it. I found a Testors chrome model paint and am still looking.

Looking Good! It's a big difference from what it started out as...
Reminds me of when my father did woodwork with my grandfather. I should try taking it up, especially with my attention to detail...

If you do they'll be bragging about it in the bars.

Heh. Sounds like my dads friends.
I pick up easily. It also seems fun to do. START OFF SMALL THOUGH, RIGHT?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No start off simple. Use my first sword as an example. Ironically small things are actually harder to do.

One of the swords sold for a high price at AWA 14. You could probably do the same with your work. It seems like such a tedious job- it must be worth it in the end.

I kept track of a Sode no shiryuki I made and not including drying time I made it in six hours. The Claymore will take a while because I have to figure out how to do it. That's what takes the real time.

I take pride in the detail I put into cosplay, so I can understand that. The more accurate it is, the more satisfied I am with it. I also take pride in how I can make things last like the things you buy on the market.

Did you see my Bleach swords? They were a lot of fun to make. I'm way too old for cosplay this is just a hobby. Not too many middle aged characters.

I don't know Bleach. Haha. I only know Claymore from the sword I saw at AWA 14. It was a very pretty sword <3
That is true. I'm a bit tired of seeing school kids running around with super powers...

dude, all of them in Bleach are like 15, and kicking a** and everything, and in Rave Master, Haru's 16 and kicks butt, and when i was 15, i was weak and short. XD

What I am opposed to is shows like Naruto and Gundum Seed that has kids killing each other. Well there's always Black Lagoon. At least they're adults.

i should get the dvds of it methinks.

Eh. In the day of the Samurai sometimes they were no older than fourteen. >; The deaths of those days were perhaps just as tragic as todays.

A cardinal once said "If the Catholic church has been doing something wrong, they have been doing it wrong for 2000 years." My immediate response was, If you have been doing it wrong for a million years, it is still wrong. These shows just glamorize it.

-for some reason that reminds me of Dogma.
But I digress. The ideas of right and wrong change from person to person, as does the idea of honor.

Well the actual quote was from National Geographic, but it still holds true. It's more of a study on peoples arrogance.
