Just Got Started On The New Kit Can't Wait To Start Working On The New Paint Job For The Project

Getting ready to candy my ACGUY!!!!

So this is the death scythe redo the black that I put on there is a black lacquer I did the trim and the other yellow pieces in a gold the rest is just repainted with some gloss to take off the plastic look I love the way this turned out while I thought about putting decals on it the more I looked at it the more perfect it became and I decided that it was perfectly fine the way it is, o

OH! The scythe is done in a gunmetal and the backpack is done in a flat metallic

Did you paint it at all

HG 1/144 RMS-141 XEKUEINS

Old school HG kit has hat holds up pretty well.

So this is the result of me using a gray primer the blue turned out a little bit darker but I still am completely in love with the way it came out

I am so excited to get started on this project I have not abandoned my flat zaku I've put it on the back burner it is going to be the next completion but this definitely needs to get done . The second that I finish it I'm going to finish out the flat zaku!

Dear star trek community,

We are different, all of us. We come from everywhere in the world, we speak different languages but our love for trek binds us, our hope to one day see a world united drives us. Our hope that the united federation of planets will be real one day excites us. When the show talks about the federation and its principles I can see that in us. I know for a fact that if given the chance we would all make damn fine Starfleet officers.  Our community is our crew the trekkies we know, to the ones we haven’t met yet are our shipmates.

When someone says they don’t feel represented in this community I’ve seen us lift them up, to not tell them they are welcome but to show them, to help them that their differences are what make our crew the best. I know this sound corny or even crazy, but I know that all of see it. At times we don’t just watch the show we live it we break down barriers, explore new ways of thinking, to help each other in times of need, to come together to show that when people talk about the show of the future the future is in fact now (soon to be warp capable)

I say all of this because I’m proud of all of us, while I know there are people out there that want to slow us down take us back to old ways of thinking and doing things (HIGHLY ILLOGICAL!!) I am so glad to see all of us demanding to be at high warp for equity, equality, love, respect and understanding.

I want to tell the story of how I found my way into this community.

I am a science nerd because SCIENCE IS FREAKIN COOL!!!! Because of that when I lived a lot of the other kids didn’t like me and I got beat up a lot. After one rather bad black eye my mother had, had enough and took me home and let me watch TV. I can’t begin to tell you how bad I felt. I thought that I would have to give up my love for science and reading and just play basketball or football because that’s all the kids who looked like me did.

That was until I saw this show with this man in a gold uniform who looked just like me with a visor, just hearing him get excited about science and its potential, the fact that people relied on him for one of the ships pivotal functions, I knew that this was something that I wanted to be a part of, that this was me but old and on a star ship. That moment saved me, in so many ways, I’m now working on my BA in cyber security, I’m still a science geek, but it was that one moment, and the NCC-1701-D that brought me here, and all of you who got me to stay. Later I would find other heroes that didn’t know where around till later Nichelle Nichols, George Takei. However, it will always be Levar burton who will always be the one I feel closest to. (also, we share a birthday!)

Thank you all so much!

TDLR; You all are amazing, keep pushing for diversity so no more little boys like me have to feel like there is no room for geeky POCs!

Getting ready to work on deathscythe finally got that primer on so excited

So....i bought this shenron and in my defence I didn't think that it would be this big (yes yes thats what she said....or he said) but it's huge and I can't put it on my desk XD

Love the way these turned out and I'm so happy to be almost done with this project. Just a few more pieces to get clipped primed and painted. This has been absolutely amazing, super fun and I can't wait to show you all the finished product!
