True Lies Ultra HD Blu-ray

It was back in March (2024) learned that Ture Lies, is getting an ultra HD Blu-ray.  This is one of my all time favourites.  Every week went to Walmart looking in the new movie section and had no luck.   Well a last week (April 23, 2024) seen two copies.  Picked that up quickly.  Have a few days off in a row coming up.  So plan to watch it then.

T60 Fallout Kit Card

Have tried printing off another kit card found over at Printables.com > here.  This is a Fallout T60 power armor.  Sadly this one failed as well.  Then got thinking maybe I could remove the kit card parts of the file.  Loaded it into Windows 3D Builder and managed to get the file into separate parts.  But still need to put them into Tinkercard to clean them a bit more.  Once that’s done will try and print them.

Sweet Tooth Kit Card – Another Update

Have another update on the 3D model Sweet Tooth Kit Card found over at MakerWorld.com.  In my last post talking about this.  I split the part that was giving me trouble into two.  Did that with Tinkercad.   Sadly it started lifting from the build plate yet again.  So deicide to move onto another project.  Might come back to this one later.

First Ride Of 2024

Had my first ride of 2024 on my 2006 Yamaha XT 225 motorcycle yesterday (April 26, 2024).  Sadly it was a short one.  The bike started up fine like it always does.  However after idling at bit the engine would start to rev up quickly.  So shut it down.  Started up again and up again start rode around the yard for a bit.  When I slowed down a bit it did it again.   Took it up and down the road.  Still had that problem.  Going to have to get it looked at.

My Abandonware Website

A few nights a go a friend show me the website, My Abandonware.  The site lets you download old games the companies no longer support or games you can no longer buy.  Took a look and there is lots a great games there.  Thinking I might give some of them a try.   Seen two games I used to play a lot consoles, DiRT and NHL 2000.

Bastille – Pompeii

It’s that day of the week again, musical throwback Thursday.  The pick this week is Pompeii by Bastille.  A few weeks ago picked another one of their songs off the same album, Bad Blood.   This is a really good song.  If you haven’t heard it before or want to again you can > here or below.

VSV (Variable Support Vehicle) mkII – 3D Model

Was watching some 3D model videos on YouTube.  The guy showed off this > here over at Printables.com.   It’s called Variable Support Vehicle (VSV) mkII.  It is designed to be the same scale as the G.I. Joe figures from when I was a kid.  Think it’s pretty cool.  So going to  give it a try.  The only hard part will be the tires.  Don’t have any TPU filament.  Plus my printer can use it any way.

Trophy Project – Another Update

Have another update on the trophy project.  That reads, outstanding achievement in the field of excellence.  Have the face plates painted.  Used gesso for primer on those parts.  Must say the turned out good.  A few days ago we had some nice weather.  So managed to get out side and prime the biggest part with grey primer.  Now the next step is to paint that.  Then glue all the parts together.  The model I am using is > here over at Printables.com.

Fallout 76 – Hours Played

Have put a bunch more time into Fallout 76 and really enjoying it.  Have about 30 hours on the PC/Steam version.  Reach level 25 a few nights ago.  As I am typing this (April 18, 2024). They are running a week promo for Fallout 1st.  This is the paid option.  This gives lots of great extras.  The best is it lets you have a storage box what is unlimited for junk/crafting items as well as one for ammo.  When I first bought the game they ran this same promo.  So had these two items all ready at my base.  For the next few days will be going on lots of junk collecting runs before this promo ends.  In the base game your storage box only holds 1200 in weight.

Fallout 4 Season Pass

Since Fallout 4 is getting a next gen update.  Which you can read about > here.  Have owned this game since it came out in 2017.   With the new Amazon Prime show, Fallout, as been out.  They have been running sales on all platforms for these games.  Seen that the season pass is going pretty cheap.  About $20.00 with tax on the PlayStation Store.  So decided to buy it.  So when this new update is out.  Will jump back into this game.
