Our 15th Episode is live. Leviathan's Product Review. My thoughts, rambly as they may be, and some good closeups of all of the models. A walkthrough the whole of the product I have received. Not quite an unboxing, but a good review.

This trip was amazing. Got to deliver a ton of battletech and art supplies to Bishop, repair a pc, eat some of the best food I have ever seen (cordon blue made.with steak instead of chicken blew my mind, seriously). I could not live here but Manzanillo is great for a vacation. I want to return.

So, another Gencon in the books. A complete and utter blast. But damn, my 52 years sure do slow me down. I wish I has my 30 year old body mobility. Age may come with wisdom but also arthritis. Lol

I will get back to painting mechs soon. But the fdm 3d printer has been a whole new world of crstivity for me. The second Borealis dropship is nearing completion. I have made paint racks and a whole lot of other things. Loving a new hobby. And really excited about the various dice boxes as well

Pretzelwolf Breweries has long had a special place in my heart. What my wife and I have done has been great. Now, it has a special place on my body. Right calf to be specific.

My tattoo artist told me one of the other people in her shop, who helps guide her a lot, wanted an ink bottle storage rack. The last wedge of the hexagon is printing and the base is ready. Next step will be securing plastic to wood, after paint dries.

My recent tattoo has been touched up. Can't wait to see how the color pops when I heal. My Shadowrun/Heraldry arm is basically complete.

@peachytips.bsky.social It was nice meeting you at Adepticon (when you were talking to Felicia Zimmerman). When I paint, and or post videos I try to post them here too as a heads up.

It is kind of difficult to see. But this has been my most recent bottle of CA glue before hobby work. Been using it since last fall. I have ALMOST managed to eek every ounce of this bottle out, without the normal calamitous endings these bottles see. I am proud of this.
