CARE is spending around $14,000 to build an addition to this school building which will house separate boys and girls toilets and a hand-washing station. (8/23)
Not much progress - a little roofing, some facia trim, setting up for eave soffits. Seems most of the time is digging in snow or trying to keep tools warm.
In addition to fishing, locals grow vegetables and fruit in large gardens that float on the surface of the lake. The floating garden beds are formed by extensive manual labor.
The farmers gather up lake-bottom weeds from the deeper parts of the lake, bring them back in boats and make them into floating beds in their garden areas, anchored by bamboo poles. These gardens rise and fall with changes in the water level, and so are resistant to flooding.
"Donk" is on the right, Annie on the left. We picked Donk initially from the movie Crocodile Dundee but figure we'll use the excuse that it's short for "Donkey" from Shrek. Anastasia is from Cinderella. Mom was a pure Chocolate Lab and dad was a Boxer. But Donk looks like he is going to grow up looking part Rottweiler or Sheppard maybe.
Acquired a Digital High Definition 2X telephoto lens added on to the business end of my 35-105 EF lens.

In addition to finally getting some sun, I think I finally got a decent roll! Despite being a little warry about using Rodinal with Fortepan 100, these turned out wonderfully. With excellent contrast, tonality, and edge sharpness. Yes, some visible grain, but it isn't detracting from the overall look of the images.
The full review drops in February 2023!

Two new additions to the Queen's Gate collection, Dizzy from Guilty Gear and Iroha from Samurai Shodown. Back in the day (2009 ish) both these characters were very popular in their respective franchises, which is why they were chosen. Samurai Shodown actually had several well known ladies, but I believe that Iroha was the most naked of them all.
So the entire Queen's Gate line was handled by Hobby Japan, who I guess held the master license for all things Queen's Blade but like the guest characters, the statues were also made by various companies. In this case, Dizzy was made by Kotobukiya at a stage when they were still on my love/hate list, and Iroha was from Volks, the company that made that BJD Xenosaga 3 KOS-MOS I'll never be able to afford.
One of the more amusing things for me upon opening the box is that despite both characters being basically the same height, both statues being made in the same scale, and both basically cost the same, one is Shaq and the other is Kevin Hart.
The difference in height is HILARIOUS.
Of the two, Dizzy is certainly the more colourful design. A mish mash of several themes, the overall sculpt and pose isn't bad, highly simplified compared to other statues of her back in the day, like that excellent Alter piece. You get some pretty good sculpting on the4 wings and hear, and the face is suitably adorable.
Likewise, Iroha features a pretty good sculpt and pose (though now the more I think about it, this was probably guided by the art books). She's not as complex as Dizzy, but she's rocking her trademark Maid outfit along with her twin swords. Some nice fabric detailing, along with the bow on her back.
Having said that, the whole point of this series is to have some curvy ladies that don't cast off (and lets face it, if they did cast off they probably wouldn't be this curvy). Both ladies appear to be more busty than they typically are depicted. The hips are curvier too, but nowhere as exaggerated as the bust.
Because these were 2009-ish statues, and not super expensive ones at that, you get what I would call typical quality for the era. The sculpting isn't bad, but some less than stellar paint work can obscure that work. Some assembly gaps cap be observed that, like with the seam lines on the hips and breasts, could have used a bit more sanding to make it more pristine. Decal work on the faces is great, but not so much on the other parts of the body. Loss of quality on areas with finer parts like fingers (especially on Iroha) are prominent and common.
Build Quality, however, does not appear to be a problem. Yeah, the tolerances on the parts that you need to connect could be better, but overall it's not too bad. More importantly, both statues did not exhibit any of the pre-2012 leaning
right as i rounded the corner of this house in Kinney Brick addition there was a stray rotwheiler and a german sheppard that had me cornerd here. All i could do was act as calm and walk the other way. For some reason they didn't attack me. One of many times i cheated death
