Painted up a whole squad of Glyans. The base color is MK Green Tea Metallic. I adore the color, and these guys finished off a bottle. They're highlighted with MK Clover, Eggplant Metallic, and Kissed Pink. Green pearl and gloss clearcoat gives them a nifty finish.

My Vinyl painting adventures started last January with a Max Toy Co Eyezon, and a little less then a year later, I've painted one of each Max Toy Co mini vinyl I've been able to get my hands on (Negora and helmetless Lady Max haven't been released as blanks).

I sent several pieces to the In Living Kolor show at the Lot F gallery in Boston, October 8th. The show is hosted by Matt Walker of Dead Presidents Designs and Monster Kolor. He was kind enough to invite me; the following pieces will be on display, though I won't be able to make the show, Boston is a bit of a drive from here.

I'm still loving the Outer Spacemen from Four Horsemen Studios and Mel Birnkrant. The sculpts are fantastic, the packaging is retro-brilliant (and reusable!), and the line has excellent vintage provenance. I finished up Xodiac to complete my custom take on them last week. Messed up his helmet though, and am waiting on another set to replace it.

I continue to stuff strings of LEDs in clear Glyos toys. This one is a little more ambitious then the last, featuring lots of masked off stars. Monster Kolor comes in to make sure he looks as good with the lights off. More after the jump.
I need more clear Glyos toys, as I am fresh out. The first version of this figure went to Matt Doughty as a thank-you.

The Electric Light Delphi.
It's much easier to blog when I have interesting things to talk about, for example, the Electric Light Delphi, pictured above. It's my latest and greatest custom Glyos toy. Build details and overlong write-up after the jump.
One of the most fascinating Glyos designs are (is?) the Delphi. A race of cetacean-looking time travelers.

A follow up, and mea culpa to this post: How Not to Use Monster Kolor. I bought an airbrush a few months back, and it's completely changed my view of MonsterKolor.

I have nothing snarky to say, this is a great shot.
For once I'm going to praise the updated effects. They look great, while preserving the spirit of the original models. A seminal episode, and still great.

Powered by Biomass!
Anvilicious episode, but fun none the less. Modern series have not realized the potential for red backdrops, and giant Papier-mâché snake heads. Like I said before, I love it when Trek gets weird. If the allegory wasn't beaten home throughout the episode, it's summed up with a laugh in the final minutes on the Enterprise.

Otherwise, Trekathalon has moved to indefinite hiatus. There's a bunch of stuff in my Netflix que that is disc-only, and at this rate, I'll never get to it.
