I decided the wonky car needed a ridiculously large engine. And now I'm going to sleep.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2217. I've worked on other things the past couple days, but tonight (in lieu of painting Wolverine, who was supposed to arrive today), I've intentionally made this car wonky. It took 3 episodes of Rick & Morty. More later.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2214. I'm thinking I've put plenty of bits and gubbins on this thing. Next step will be to figure out how to do the blasted wall sections. For now, there's big holes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

#nerdlings ##hobbystreak day 2213. Started putting some gubbins and debris on this basically ready-made Kill Team/Necromunda battlefield. Wanted to spray it black, but the closest Dollar General doesn't carry spray paint. It's okay, there's two more DG's in this tiny town...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2212. Okay, so I lied. Didn't finish Enceladus tonight, felt like doing a MOTU mini. So here's Clamp Champ (dumb name), original toy line/show's first and only black character.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2212. Not "hobby," per se, but so far it's delicious. I'll be finishing Inquisitor-Magos Enceladus later today. But for now, I'm making hummus.

#nerdlings ##hobbystreak day 2211. Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, been Hella busy. But I'm back on my meds, and mostly I've been working on Inquisitor-Magos Enceladus. I *think* all that's left on him is a barcode and the scorch effect on his gun - also doing that on the Osiris' 50 cal...

I love that the writers who helm the Predator/Yautja movies and books are so creative. There's at least one new and horrible weapon in every story. I particularly liked the power fist thing in Predator: Killer of Killers - The Shield.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2203. Got that green wire basecoated and glued on, now that the power's come back on. Watching Wonka this evening, at least for another hour or so. Amusing thus far. Also, my leg is *almost* sutured up.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2202. I'm hoping I've painted enough black to keep the interior of the mechanical bits dark. Suppose we'll find out once I glue the panels in.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day...I'm just gonna say 2200, 'cuz I think it's correct. Been building AND painting the past couple nights, just been too tired (drunk) to post. Work is sucking the life out of me lately.
