No unfortunately. There’s a guy in LA that is the top bust builder , so I purchased the bust and damaged chest plate, and also bought a mannequin to modify. Found an endo arm kit on eBay which has to be destroyed unfortunately to be screen correct , as does his clothing etc.
Kind of a fun hobby , and I thought making him move around randomly would take it to the next level when he’s done .
Freaks people out when they visit , not cause he’s scary looking , but it’s kind of freaky having something standing in your living room always catching your peripheral

I don’t know what’s stopping a guy from scanning the bust and making his own though .
Just an FYI , a bust is the head.

I used to have him in my gym ,but ran out of room .





Looked kinda cool at night

That's an epic hobby! I can imagine the reaction of people coming to your house regularly and never seeing it in the same spot. I would have a chit ton of fun messing with people.

Sick gym btw!

Yea it’s turn based. You roll dice to resolve the combat and each unit has stats that determine what you need to roll to hit, wound etc

I’ve got an Ork army and a Deathwatch army going.

Ive been getting into Photography the past 2 years. It's been fun learning about composition, how cameras work and why certain pictures are more beautiful for us than others. I usually post in the MISC Photography thread but here are some of my shots:

Great hobby l love the last one . Here’s a few during work at 7000’ above sea level.
Unfortunately back then the 2.1 megapixel cameras just debuted . Wish I had my D800 back then

I’ve had people over after the bar closed , and they always say they know it’s there ,yet it keeps catching them off guard .
If a guy was married , I suspect it would have to go lol

Wow! That's a lot of pieces. It looks fun, especially if there is strategy involved.
Beautiful pictures. You definitely have an artist's eye. I take pics of wildlife, but I know sweet fuk all about cameras and lenses. Plus I wouldn't be able to capture moments like you do in your pictures. I posted some on the other page and here are a few others:






This is now a picture thread.Man I'd be surprised every time I came into my own home lol. Would have to stop myself from attacking it. As for the wife... chiet leave it in the gym.

Nice pictures as well, got to love BC and Alberta's landscape. I plan on heading out there this summer.

Keep up the wildlife photography, the deer shot is nice and at the end of the day it really all comes down to composition!

This is my favourite video on composition, it works for both traditional art and photography:


Then for learning how cameras work, the youtube channel Apalapse was super useful for me.

Don't see him post too often, but our resident Food Porn Terrorist (Bosko) also takes wildlife pics.

Thanks for the info and the videos! Will look at them after classes. I'll look for the photography thread as well in your post history.Those are some awesome shots! I love the little music too lol

I reload shotgun shells and plant food plots for deer in my backyard. Live out in the country. I've counted as many as 21 deer at once at my deer feeder.

That's neat, do you hunt them or you just like having them around?

Nice. I'm entering my final semester of a landscape architecture program.

I guess part of the appeal of succulents is their low water requirements that make maintenance easy which makes for an ideal house plant. They also tend to have very unique look and texture.

Here are a couple shots of some cactus I took on my trip.




(notice the wood branches on this one. It grows like a small tree.)

Here are a few landscape shots that show how diverse some of these arid landscapes can be based on elevation changes.

I don't hunt them, but I let other people. It's fun to watch them, and my wife enjoys it more than I do. There is a feeder that spits out a few pounds of corn every morning and evening. The deer gather around the feeder about 15 minutes before it spits out the corn. When it comes out, they fight over it. I've seen them get up on their hind legs and punch each other with their front hooves.

Noiice about the school program.

They a very unusual, that's for sure. Mirin your pics, definitely an inspiration to explore the south.
That's cool man, and the bolded is definitely a sight. I've seen it once in a natural feeding area while I was doing a forest inventory.

Neat. I landed on my brief stint working w/plants out of an interest in possibly pursuing landscape architecture.

I've never been good w/maths and figured that it would be less detrimental if there was no risk of a building falling on someone's head.

If you are ever in Fort Worth do check out the Japanese garden there. It is particularly nice in the spring when the flowering trees bloom and in the fall when the Japanese maples show the best color.



My class did plant identification at the botanic gardens. Felt good that I still remembered where the Korean Spice viburnum was. At that time xeriscaping was just becoming a thing.

I collect exotic bi-metal coins, specifically silver and niobium and silver and tantalum:

That's really cool, how big is your collection?

Bump for friday night miscers
