Well, AnimeIowa ended today, and I had a blast. Seeing everyone dressed up with their props has given me the motivation to work hard, and given me more ideas to work on. Coming up, I'll be working on a MSD sized TARDIS for my BJD whom is being dressed to look like the 10th doctor. I will also be working on a keyblade, making atleast one portal gun, I have all I need for two, so both if time allows, and hopefully finish up the kairi keyblade. I also want to return to my River Song's diary and remake it, along with remaking the Chrome trident. I'm also considering getting a table at AI next year, so I will be working on having a stock of items to sell. So much to do and so little time...ok, I have a year, but I'm sure atleast half of that will be procrastinated away, lol.
For AI this year, I had finished my 3rd Hiei sword, and I must admit, I liked it, still have to make the shealth though, I didn't like how it was turning out at all.
I have what I need to make River Song's Alpha Mason blaster, and want to try making a vortex manipulator as well...but I'm not too sure about leather work. I also came up with an idea for Riku's keyblade from Kingdom Hearts 2 that I hope to start soon.
With all this work to be done, I need to upgrade my tools. Hopefully I'll be able to get a bandsaw, I have a scroll saw, and I love it, but a bandsaw will help a lot. I'm finally getting a proper shop to work in, I'll have the whole basement to myself and a lot of room for everything I need. I even came up with a great idea for a paint chamber in there, and I keep testing my skills with an airbrush, so things will look a lot better.
Well I think that's all for now. I have the day off tomorrow, so I'll probably spend that seeing what I have material wise and get a list of what I need and go from there. Wish me luck.
Alons-y!
