Model Hind D Helicopter

The Hind D is my favorite helicopter. It's a Russian gunship. It was featured in Metal Gear solid. And it's awesome. I love how it looks, with it's distinctively Russian design. Testing out the different colors I plan to use on the model. This is the first time I had ever painted model figures in a model. I thought they came out pretty well. The inside of the Passenger compartment. You can't really tell but there are seat belts on the bench. I used putty to paint the camouflage. I didn't use the actual Hind D colors, I used darker colors cause I thought it looked cooler. Preparing the wings and guns Attaching the propellers.

The Catelyn Stark Bookecase

We named it the Catelyn Stark because it was a series of bad decisions. Luckily for us, it turned out well. First bad decision was instead of starting from scratch. We started with Ikea furniture. We took two 1x5 expidite shelves. Cut them up, and put them together. In case you ever wondered what was inside. Two IKEA Book cases become one. Before you ask, IKEA Doesn't make a 2x5 expidite shelf. That's why we did it. We painted the inside Orange. It didn't stick. we scuffed the hell out of the shelves. But nope. It peeled right off. It was house paint too. We put on legs that were way too small. And in retrospect, completely wrong color. We attached planks of Walnut. 1/8 inch thick. We Double scuffed the IKEA surface and glued them on. We then grain filled, stained, and finished the walnut. Moving it from the garage to the house. Had to go through an alley way first. Moving it into place. Filled it up. This is where we decided the legs were the wrong color. They just blend in with the floor and looks like it is floating. A lot of people like that look, But it wasn't for us. So changed to bigger legs made of Pine, that match the lighter wood color.

Black Window Spider

A very loverly Black Widow Spider I found in my backyard. We actually have about 10 of them back there. One year we had an exterminator come and kill them, but then we were over run with other spiders all summer. So now we let them stay...and eat the other spiders.

The house in Brand park in Glendale. It's called the Doctors house because 5 different doctors lived in it since...I dunno...1900? It's pretty cool.

Fire Starter

This is a neat little camping must have. It's a Flint and Steel fire starter. Strike it and get a massive spark. It even works when it's wet.

Holiday Gift: Life Hammer

I'll probably never need it. But this neat little gadget is a life hammer, If you're in a car accident and the doors are jammed. You can break the windows with a light tap. It also has a seat belt cutter on the other side. Pretty neat...and will probably never get used :)

Holiday Gift: Grass Charging Station

It looks like a grass pot with your phone in it, but it's actually a charging station. It hides all your cords and plugs.

Mute Watch

This is very fascinating watch my girlfriend bought me for Christmas last year. She bought it while it was still in development, so it just recently arrived.
MW2
The watch face is normally just blank, but when you tap it or shake it in a certain way (such as moving it into position to see it) the number light up.
MW3
You touch and hold the face of the watch to change the time, or swipe to change the function. It's pretty clever.
MW1
Also, it's charged with USB (no more watch batteries!) and instead of an alarm...it vibrates! Brilliant!
