So my semester is balls-out crazy and I don't have much time to paint anything. But I've gotten the frame done and I'm about ready to move on to the armor.
Maybe it's just the number of parts that have had to be painted multiple times to get multiple colors, but this kit feels extra part-y compared to its MkII brother kit.
Incidentally, I used Tamiya acrylics for the red parts and got a godly-shiny and smooth finish. Why does this never happen when I WANT glossy?
I started getting into fitness around April of 2012, then I started training to compete Muay Thai, boxing and mma about 5 months ago. These pictures are the progress I've made. I've def had some slip ups with my diet but every day is a new one and I never give up.

Street detail from Bucharest, Romania in HDR version.
Romania has a legacy from one of the most represive communist regimes, what can be seen all over the city center.
It is now progressing rapidly, but will need a lot more time to repair all the central buildings.
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 ..:)
Now I saw in my dream, that just as they had ended this talk, they drew nigh to a very miry slough that was in the midst of the plain: and they being heedless, did both fall suddenly into the bog. The name of the slough was Despond. Here, therefore, they wallowed for a time, being grievously bedaubed with the dirt; and Christian, because of the burden that was on his back, began to sink in the mire.
Pliable: Then said Pliable, Ah, neighbor Christian, where are you now?
Christian: Truly, said Christian, I do not know.
Pliable: At this Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of? If we have such ill speed at our first setting out, what may we expect between this and our journey’s end? May I get out again with my life, you shall possess the brave country alone for me. And with that he gave a desperate struggle or two, and got out of the mire on that side of the slough which was next to his own house: so away he went, and Christian saw him no more.
Wherefore Christian was left to tumble in the Slough of Despond alone; but still he endeavored to struggle to that side of the slough that was farthest from his own house, and next to the wicket-gate; the which he did, but could not get out because of the burden that was upon his back: but I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he did there.
Christian: Sir, said Christian, I was bid to go this way by a man called Evangelist, who directed me also to yonder gate, that I might escape the wrath to come. And as I was going thither, I fell in here.
Help: But why did not you look for the steps?
Christian: Fear followed me so hard that I fled the next way, and fell in.
Help: Then, said he, Give me thine hand: so he gave him his hand, and he drew him out, and he set him upon sound ground, and bid him go on his way.
Then I stepped to him that plucked him out, and said, “Sir, wherefore, since over this place is the way from the city of Destruction to yonder gate, is it, that this plat is not mended, that poor travellers might go thither with more security?” And he said unto me, “This miry slough is such a place as cannot be mended: it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore it is called the Slough of Despond; for still, as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there arise in his soul many fears and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place: and this is the reason of the badness of this ground.
“It is not the pleasure of the King that this place should remain so bad.His laborers also have, by the direction of his Majesty’s surveyors, been for above this sixteen hundred years employed about this patch of ground, if perhaps it might have been mended: yea, and to my knowledge,” said he, “there have been swallowed up at least twenty thousand cart loads, yea, millions of wholesome instructions, that have at all seasons been brought from all places of the King’s dominions, (and they that can tell, say, they are the best materials to make good ground of the place,) if so be it might have been mended; but it is the Slough of Despond still, and so will be when they have done what they can.
“True, there are, by the direction of the Lawgiver, certain good and substantial steps, placed even through the very midst of this slough; but at such time as this place doth much spew out its filth, as it doth against change of weather, these steps are hardly seen; or if they be, men, through the dizziness of their heads, step beside, and then they are bemired to purpose, notwithstanding the steps be there: but the ground is good when they are once got in at the gate.” Now I saw in my dream, that by this time Pliable was got home to his house. So his neighbors came to visit him; and some of them called him wise man for coming back, and some called him fool for hazarding himself with Christian: others again did mock at his cowardliness, saying, “Surely, since you began to venture, I would not have been so base as to have given out for a few difficulties:” so Pliable sat sneaking among them. But at last he got more confidence, and then they all turned their tales, and began to deride poor Christian behind his back. And thus much concerning Pliable.

The Seals, Sea Lions and Walruses of Morley's Progress Street Precinct are soon to be removed. I decided to record them before they're gone.
I was told that until now, people notice that my face has gotten sharper by losing weight :) so I thought I'd put the first and the last week together ...what do you think? (8 kg until now = -10%)
The Jumierah Palm is blooming from 28,000 feet. you may notice the lavish resort hotel, Atlantis, at the top curve, ( top right corner ) .
After many years of delay, the wooden sleeper track on the Portsmouth direct main line has been replaced in a 3-day occupation, replacing 1200 yards of plain track.
This Sunday morning view shows new concrete sleepers being positioned with 66847 on the up line with Salmons being unloaded and bass wagons with some additional sleepers / back loading with the wooden baton separators used between the levels of new sleepers.

Everybody's a bloody critic. I KNEW I shouldn't let the Flicker talk to the duck.
For those in North America with clear skies tonight, this could be the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. The moon will be a problem, but you may be able to see some in the northeast right after dark and before moonrise. It's highly recommended as one of the top cheap date ideas as well.
Two days later. Most things are healing quickly. My leg road-rash is nearly gone. I was able to remove the head bandages today. The left ear is still mighty-swollen, and the stitches provide an odd sensation.
We'll see. I've been canceling job interviews because I don't quite think I'm "presentable" at the moment.
