Origami Resin 2!


For my second resin attempt I got a respirator and some silicon molds.



I poured a layer and then placed the origami and waited 12 hours and then poured the second layer. 
I was very pleased with the results! I even managed to resinify my wisdom teeth! 











Question Roaches



Got these from the exotic pet show back in September of last year and they finally show the marks!
I had like 20 back then and I only see 2 now... Better than none... I was surprised to see any at all!

Jessica Jones S3 - 80%



Took off 20% just on the amount of sex and cursing.

The plot was thick and intense!
Amazing character development of Malcolm and Trish.
It didn't end how I thought it would.
Gregory Salinger had some great lines.
The brute strength of Jessica against Salinger was a good Superman / Lex battle.
Really liked the wrestling match between Jessica and Salinger.

If it weren't for the obscene amount of sex and cursing I would have given this a 98%...
I would have turned it off if I hadn't already seen 2 seasons... 


RealBug 100 Collection - 100%


Found the 50 collection at a store called The Key Hole for $300 which was more than I wanted to spend... So I looked on Amazon and found the 100 piece collection on sale for $60!!!! Down from $388! And I got it!!!

I commissioned my friend to hand make a wooden frame for it so I can display it!

Where Wild Things Are - 98%



Great movie! 

Amazing voice acting from Spike Jonze (Terry), Catherine O'Hara (Judith) and Lauren Ambrose (KW)!

Great visuals and story!

The facial expressions of the monsters was spot on. 

The metaphors about teeth made me feel the loneliness.

Really liked the model that Terry built and then later smashed in anger. 

Loved the owl friends of KW and Terry not liking them and the language difference!

I watched this together with my 4 year old and there she liked it except a few tense scenes. 

Kakegurui S2 - 70%



There were a few good episodes...

Liked the tower and the greater good game.
Liked the advancement of Yumeko's character in that she didn't really care about hurting others

Other than that it felt much less than season 1...

42080 Forest Machine - 90%

Quick build. Decent for the price. Got it on sale for $100. 
Wish that the spiky pillars were motorized
Good detail and lots of wheels. 









Cyclone 90 - Legion - 95%



- Solid league and just happened to pick the most popular build.
- Amazing that Slayer Cyclone is holding at 40 % a third of the way through the league!
- Sailed to level 90 and got the 12 challenge reward.
- Cheap gear. Found 1 exalt and 1 doctor.
- Traded 7 c early for the axe and threw increased phys on it.
- Felt like a good ole WW build from D2.
