Transom forward -- distortion caused by not shooting photo precisely – ideally the pieces of the transom should have been glued together horizontally, not vertically as I did. Keeping the aft end of the chines in place while the glue dried was rough -- I came back into the shop an hour later and found that the two chines had popped upward (toward the ceiling of the shop) and thus were not still in contact with the stem. Some fast work with some screws through a block screwed to mold 12 fixed that.
As you can see the title is really shouting on my image...(not unless you see otherwise eg child labor)This is included on my first few photos i took .. my escort told me that we start on the top of the Ulingan .. for me to see the "grandeur" of the Place.I was actually zoomed at 130mm on this shot. to see the perseverance and the helpfulness of a child (and hope / think he enjoys it).. it still brings out a joy in me.. a smile ..:)
I did my first film portrait session with a beautiful model named Andria. She is an accomplished artist herself (a painter and a photographer) and this was her first time in front of the lens. Based on these results, it won't be the last. Mamiya 645 100S Kodak 400TMY Tmax 120 back and white film.
Old North Bridge, Minute Man National Historical Park
The Minute Man statue, was not just a symbol of the pursuit of freedom that gave birth to this country, but also a representation of this country’s progression. To me, the mere posture of the Minute Man, leaning and looking forward, was inspiring, iconic, and always relevant.

WASHINGTON, DC- 35,000 people from 28 states are converging in the streets to show President Obama the broad public support for climate solutions, while also challenging him to keep his commitment of making climate action a top priority during his second term. The president has several actions that he alone can take, including rejecting the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline and adopting a strong carbon rule to limit pollution from coal plants.

Here's one that I've been looking forward to opening up for quite some time now.
If you've read my other reviews, I'm sure you've noticed that my collecting generally follows a few rules, as well as focuses on several properties while at the same time being a random mish mash of stuff.
Enter the Corrin (Female) Figma from Fire Emblem: Fates.
Fire Emblem was one of those game series that didn't really pick up traction, at least in North America, until recently. Fire Emblem has been around since the Famicom days, with the first North American entry being introduced back on the GBA. Since then, I think we've gotten every release but it wasn't until a little game called Fire Emblem: Awakening was released on 3DS that the North American gaming world took note, partially due to the characters and writing, and more than partially, I'm confident, due to the fact they've made the game more palatable for casual players.
Unlike other typical SRPG games where if your characters die (presuming it's not the main character) they come back to life the next stage, Fire Emblem liked to bring permadeath into the equation, so basically you were really planning out your attacks to take advantage of that weapons triangle.
Anyway, the sequel to Awakening brought even more changes to the series by having a game with two main campaigns, with a third campaign via DLC (or if you bought the special edition of the game, on cartridge) that was the logical middle ground of everything. It also introduced a certain busty Wyvern rider by the name of Camilla, but that's another story.
Overall, it is sufficient to say that there is a thirst for Fire Emblem merchandise, and pricing it commands is crazy on the aftermarket, so getting it at MSRP is basically the best you'll probably actually be able to do.
The main character in Fates (that is, your character) has the default name of Corrin, and can be male or female depending on what you pick. While the Amiibo had both male and female releases, the Figma only released the female version.
Probably the most expensive Figma I've bought thus far, I bit the bullet and bought one from Good Smile directly in Japan.. turns out I could have saved about $15 or so if I had waited a few months because Kijiji happens, but hey, at least it's one that's off my list of stuff to hunt for.
In her default class, Corrin has the ability to wield swords and turn into a dragon, that latter of which is sadly not represented in this figure, because every knows dragons are all sorts of awesome.
From a character design point of view, you'll notice that Corrin is predominantly bright colours, which speaks to her background as a character. Like with all cool anime characters, Corrin also has a cape, and because she's all that, apparently she has no shoes either, and runs around on the battle field with her bare feet.
The figure comes with several additional hands, two expressions (smiling, angry), her default Yamato sword, and a blue Dragonstone. Because I lucked out (ordering at least a year past the drop off) or because they had too many, I was actually able to score the preorder bonus weapon the Omega Yamato as well.
Corrin of course has an impressive array of joints, including in her cape, that allow for a great number of dynamic poses. Unique (ish?) to this figure is the joint in her hair. While other figures have articulated ponytails or something like that, Corrin has a joint in her hair that allows it to pose straight back, allowing for a great simulation of dashing. Her half skirt thing, however, limits movement on her left leg.
I'm no expert but I think I got a few decent poses in the pictures.
Not as awesome are her dainty feet and legs that make standing her up kind of a pain, but I guess that's why there's a base included. Except attaching the base is kind of a pain as well due to the location of the peg hole and the smaller peg size itself.
QC again is top notch, with all paint and decals being sharp with minor bleeding, which given the small size of these figures is no easy feat. Sculpting and assembly pass the test from me as well. The feet themselves feature sculpted toes, and I think arches as well, which while nice, further adds to the stability issue.
The only other Fire Emblem Figma that I'm aware of is Lucina from Fates, and of course I have her. I can't really say which one is the superior Figma release as they're both pretty solid, but I think as a character design goes, Lucina looks like she fits in the with rest of the Fire Emblem crew where as Corrin looks like she's wearing something inspired by the camouflage suit in Ghost in the Shell. Both, however, do the license proud as well as Figmas in general.
As good as they both are, I don't think it's a surprise to anyway that what I REALLY want is a Camillia Figma. Oh well.. maybe one day.
Can anyone ID these birds? They were all in a big hurry to get somewhere when I snapped this.
They are sandpipers!

It's Friday friends!!!
This Friday is a Fashion Forward one, and a special one at that! This week we are focusing on an unexpected fashion item- tennis shoes! Let's face it, we all need a pair and they get loads more wear on these two Mama's than any pair of stilettos these days. Now that things are cooling off just a bit, it's a great time to get outside for a run or walk- for some time to clear your head or time to "solve the worlds problems" with a buddy.
Here are a couple of pairs that we would love to have on our feet right now!
(Above shoes can be found at www.zappos.com/?gclid=CP_s58bWn6sCFZFV7AodWVaqoA)
(Above shoe brands can be found at Montgomery Multi-Sport)
(These Mizuno shoes can be found at Big Peach Running Co.)
So do you need more motivation? Treat yourself to a new pair of "tenni's" for a GREAT cause, and sign up to run in an awesome fundraiser tomorrow!!
Virginia’s Run is the inaugural fundraising run for Eastwood Christian School. The fundraiser was created in memory of Virginia Foxworth Jacks, a junior at Eastwood who died on September 18, 2010. The primary purpose for Virginia’s Run is to honor Jesus Christ and perpetuate the blessings of the kingdom of the living God by raising money for the school Virginia attended for 11 years.
We believe online registration is closed by now, but you can go to Nancy's Italian Ice from 5-8 pm tonight to register OR they will accept registrations the day of the race!
We hope you will take time to come out and support this wonderful cause. In fact, there are loads of important causes that you can support by "getting moving"- ranging from 5k's to triathlons. What better way to spend some time outdoors and break in a new pair of running shoes!
Have a great weekend!
