Hope everyone had a fun and safe Christmas. We had a good one. Lucked out without loosing power. Feel bad for those who did. Like last year the meal turned out amazing. Have it done to a science now. Since it is Boxing day. It means time for the traditional hot turkey sandwiches, with left over stuffing and salad.
For many years now the rule in the house was to have the tree up on the first Sunday in December. Well that was last week and I wasn’t feeling so good. So put it up today (December 11, 2022). Cut back a bit on the decorations this time. Putting mostly ones that have some kind of meaning behind them. Think it turned out ok.
It was back in the beginning of October (2022) talk about this > here, Grim Reaper over at Printables.com. Wanted to print and paint this for Halloween even though I am not big in it. Did manage just that. You can see the picture below. Am happy with how it turned out. There are a lot of cool things on that website. Have more projects in the works. So keep an eye on this blog.
Forgot to blog about this when I first started working it back in September (2022). It is Bender from Futurama, you can see it > here over at Printables.com. The person that designed this did an awesome job. Everything was easy to print and glue together. While I did print all the parts. Some didn’t fit together for me. But it was no big deal. As you can see from the picture below. Once it was painted it turned out really good.
Have finished another 3D print and paint project. It is a Mouser > here over at Printables.com. If you are not sure where this is from, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, cartoon show. Thought it was super cool and am a big Turtles fan. Think it turned out pretty good. You can see for yourself in the picture below.
After many weeks and lots of blog posts about this Robocop statue, > here at Printables.com. Have now finished painting it. Am very happy with how it turned out. This is by far the biggest model I have printed and painted. You can see a picture of it below. Took my time with the painting part. Only had to do a few small touch-ups where I missed or were the brush touched the wrong spots. Have started work on some other projects. Will talk about those in future posts.
Found another awesome model that I am printing from Printables.com. It is this > here, Ghost Support Free Remix. Was randomly looking at the models in the seasonal designs section under Halloween. While I am not a Halloween fan thought this was a super cool model. It kind of looks like it should be in the Lord of the Rings movies. Scaled the model up by 10% and lowered the infill amount. Keeping my fingers crossed it turns out ok. Will be back with an update.
[Update] This turned out amazing. You can see for yourself below. Not going to paint this, think it looks cool untouched.
Have finished working on the gCreate Official Rocket Ship 3D model. Am very happy with how it turned out. In my last post taking about this. Was painting the flame part of the model orange. However that was looking every good with the cheap paint I was using. So went with some red and that looked better to me. You can see it for yourself in the picture below. Did print this model scaled down by 50%. May be at some point will make it full scale.
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Christmas. We had a nice quit one. Just like last year cooked the turkey breast with olive oil and it turned out amazing. Didn’t making my homemade stuffing. Went with Stove Top. It is better than I though it would be. However did have homemade rolls from a local bakery, which were really good. For tonight we are having the traditional hot turkey sandwiches.
It has been the rule in the house of a very long time that the first Sunday in December (which is today December 5, 2021) we put the tree up. This year remember buy all new sets of lights. Got those back in November. These new ones do make a difference, much brighter. Have put up this tree and the past ones for so many years it doesn’t take long. Like last year didn’t put as many ornaments on. Think it turned out good.
