WIP: The pumpkin guy is now standing on his own feet.

Cleaned up the leftover post assemble seam lines. Now for final detailing and decals

This kit needs a stand to pose properly. Design of the feet will have it toppling over in an upright pose.

I'm really still undecided to go with this blue colour, or to give it a turquoise instead.

When run manually, the terminal output was so verbose that the screen can be scrolling for hours after a job ends.

When automated, I just sent the output to Expect for it to watch for either the job success or failure message at the end before sending CTRL-C to end the process.

Best part about this is, after automation, the batch job run reduced to 7 hours from 18 hours daily. We all freaked out, as that's just too good to be true.

Did the analysis on why this happened, and it was really a face palm moment.

Ages ago a client needed to automate some complex batch job runs. IBM as usual proposed a solution based on Lotus Notes (only god knows why)

I cobbled together some stuff with Bash, Perl, Expect. Might have been able to use Awk instead of Perl though.

The warp feeds on the angst you feel during assembly to bring this to live

OMG this makes me think... what happens if somebody gives Greta Thunberg a Gundam.

So cat peed inside the carrier bag on the way home from the vet. Need to go and rinse down her paws and tail. After towelling her dry and I let her out, she immediately ran for the food bowl.

Interesting priorities this one. But she's also had to fast 12 hours before this.

This is taking some time, but the pumpkin pie warrior is finally taking shape!

Need to remove some final panel lines and repaint those areas before going onto detailing and decals
