#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2205. Bit of work on the Osiris tonight. I *think* the ram is a bit more readable now.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2203. Got that green wire basecoated and glued on, now that the power's come back on. Watching Wonka this evening, at least for another hour or so. Amusing thus far. Also, my leg is *almost* sutured up.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2202. I'm hoping I've painted enough black to keep the interior of the mechanical bits dark. Suppose we'll find out once I glue the panels in.

I love Goodwill. Haven't read this gem since middle school.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2201. I *think* these panels are done now. We'll, the first one anyway. The second needs a green wire.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day...I'm just gonna say 2200, 'cuz I think it's correct. Been building AND painting the past couple nights, just been too tired (drunk) to post. Work is sucking the life out of me lately.

There are FAR too many. But here are my favorites, I suppose.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak days 2194 & 2195. I just KEEP finding new guns to play with. This broken one was in the attic closet. Found it while getting Xmas stuff out. Feeling better, time to start.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2193. I've been sick, but hobbying on Timekeeper MkII a bit. I'm missing 3 baggies of watch parts/gears, so I'm kinda stuck in this first inlay panel. I've got the piston built, but I cant put it on yet.

Panels for the machinery bits. Gears and a piston, I'm thinking. I imagine the gears sticking up from the barrel housing, but we'll see how well that works later.

And remember, kids, always cut AWAY from yourself, and DIRECTLY into your right leg.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2191. This is where Timekeeper MKII is currently at. I left the holes open for the time being, just to show what a PAIN IN THE ASS this gun will be. So far, so good, though. It still functions as a Nerf gun should, which is the plan.
