REJOICE! woohoo!

We were on quite the austerity budget for a good long time, including over my birthday. I sort of got nothing. Larry was trying to make resin wings for me, and unfortunately, the engineering never worked out.

So today I showed this to mu hubby.

This is the BIG 'bot doll I really wanted for Waitron. I love my Machina but she is Minifee size.

"Oh good" says he, "Just what I wanted to see! Now I can make it up to you for no birthday."

I love my hubby.

I'm getting her in gray and she is all ordered.

That helmet is made of love. It is so TRON.

Found the Ultra KiSS viewer for Mac, now comes the question do I relearn how to make the critters again or do I look to a different format? I am glad I found it because I needed to screen shot a doll I had designed some great clothes for.

*Oh man, making the cells and zipping is easier than ever. ~itches to get started~ Just tell me the layering and "programming" is still basically the same.

WOW, I just received my little outfits from Nancy. The outfits are so pretty. Words can not express how much I appreciate her kindness in making these for me. Thank you again, Nancy.

I can KiSS black!


Long story short, the program works with 256 colors and black 0 is the transparent color to make the magic work so to get something that looks black without disappearing, like part of the shoe, eluded me in the past. Then again I didn't have Photoshop. Anywho this is a huge step forward. I was able to wash the blacks with 10% of the indigo the rest of the costume is and it worked! Still a good couple of weeks to go on the artwork, I only have a touch pad, and I don't want to rush it.

For the first hobby-related purchase I've made in several months, I got some fatigue pants from DiD's "Major Richard" (hehehe) US 101st Airborne officer. I like 'em and can see using them as either modern day, generic cargo pants or as part of a non-specific, post-WW2 military uniform. The accuracy ninnies aren't going to like them very much because the cargo pockets match the cloth of the rest of the pants. The real items were made from US M1943 trousers that had the pockets added by the division's parachute riggers. The pockets were sewn from whatever cloth could found that was "close enough", so it rarely matched the pants.

These work great for my purposes, though.

I paid off my Unoa boy today.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How can someone call you out for "accuracy" in your own made up universe?

Oh, I'm not worried about what they'd think of my use of them. Just that the folks who care about the intensely nit-picky accuracy of their own figures will probably complain. Really, it could be a good thing for me if the perception of inaccuracy causes people to look elsewhere. Maybe they'll wait for the Soldier Story Battle of the Bulge-era paratrooper to come out and not scour the market for the DiD version.

But funny you should ask that question.... A couple of years ago, I posted some photos of a soldier from one of my fictional nations on a few boards. People at the old 13 Doll and at The Trenches took it at face value. However, a number of folks at OSW were bothered by the fact that I had used *GASP* black and green jungle boots with a USMC-style (MARPAT) woodland camouflage! Nobody seemed to get that one, it was fictional and two, that I had based the look off several real-world sources, including my local Sheriff's Dept. SWAT team and the Army of the Republic of Georgia.

That was mildly amusing but what's really funny is to go to a scale modeling board and watch the kvetching over the accuracy of models based on nothing more than proposals or design studies.
