Busy Month of February


So lately i've been busy with some cool, fun projects. First is this cardboard Samurai suit my friend and I are making, i'm almost done, got some parts left to "color" and by that i mean cover in colored duct tape, black and purple. i've made the helmet first so i can base everything off that. i'm really impressed with it. The rest of the body armour, that's a little tough, i want to do plates, so that they cover a little of the one next to or under it. it's a good challenge for me. I finally get to show what i'm thinking, usually i have awesome ideas but can't put it on paper, but this is more than just drawing!
notice the light switch cover? I painted that too, it's a skullcandy logo, like the best and coolest headphone brand ever.

The other project is for my NERF guns, they are usually really weak and useless against people, so my friend the other day was like, hey lets mod these and have an epic battle! so i have two guns, a raider and a recon, and i've had the raider painted already, but that part of the story comes later.. but i took it apart (which i love to do with things to see how they work) and took out the Air Restrictor, which obviously restricts the air coming through to make it more powerful, so now it shoots like double to distance. and A LOT faster! it's great. Then with the recon, this base color is yellow, which if we're going to have this awesome battle, it's gotta be dark and not obvious. so i took it apart, and modded the parts, then i left it apart to paint it, and that day my friend and i went to Wally World to get some paint, i got this dark brown-green stuff. i didn't know what color it was exactly until i used it. it turns out to be this dark chocolate brown, i really like it now... oh yeah and with this gun i had painted the slide black, it was this awful white color, and it didn't match the rest of the gun. so now the gun is black and brown, looks lovely hah..
I'll post pictures later, i can't find the memory card thing now. it converts my tiny sd card from my phone to the bigger piece to put in the computer, and it's black, if you find it, i'd like it back, thanks. anyway, that's it for now, i lost my train of thought while i looked for it.
