homebuilding in 1:10

I didn't post this back then because the "wall" on the left side moved a bit.

I want to talk about L and why his neck peg placement is ingenious and silly at the same time, but now is not the time for that.

Which reminds me, I also have to find a new carrying case for him, something bigger than the one I use for sensei, because the chair is quite bulky.

And it's such a relief to have a figure that can actually sit down.

Today I'd like to talk about one of two Ls from this set.
Please excuse the lighting.

I love coffee, and I think I have good coffee karma: every time I've stocked up on new bags, that's when somebody sends me a lot more coffee. At the moment there are around six bags of beans waiting to be brewed! It's such an overwhelming, happy thing.

This made me very very very happy today.
I didn't think it was possible to love him more than I already do!
He looks like he's wearing a dress, but this is actually just the top. His legs were too stubby for the trousers.

Another shot of mine made it to the GSC Mikatan blog. It's the eighth shot from the top.

And that's it from us this year!
Happy Christmas everyone. Stay warm.

Guess what he bought?

The Sylvanian Families armchair set arrived three days ago.
It came with two chairs, one side table, a magazine rack (and magazine templates), and a small bowl of some sort. The disclaimer says the actual product might use a cloth "of the same hue but with a different pattern", but what I got



wasn't even remotely close to the prototype.
Very disappointing.
So I did some reupholstering.



This was the last picture I took before the camera died on me.
The final product has more of the cloth tucked in the right places, but it still looks sloppy.

The (unfunny) punchline here is that the original armchair fits the playset more than the reupholstered armchair.

If Wikipedia's to be trusted, today is Itoshiki Nozomu's birthday. It also happens to be my birthday as well, which gives me -- or us? -- a very good reason to crack open a box from Re-Ment's Mini Sweets series.
