What I’m currently working on right now. Slightly larger than the last and I love the colour on this one c:

“Travel through time just like Grandpa used to!”
Finally finished my time machine! This one was a lot of fun c:

Designed this one to be worn as a sort of pendant / necklace kind of thing, its not too heavy and the chain’s nice and long, still got a serious love affair going on with shiny cogs <3
Some of these parts were so small, its hard to show you just how small they are I’ll make a comparison picture at some point to show you

I love the little designs engraved into certain parts (I didnt engrave it myself LOL) but I like the retro look it gives

Was super excited when I found a day and date dial it was perfect for this kind of thing
Never get tired of waving it about in the light either, I guess I have a thing for shinys lol

Not much going on at the back of this one but in case you guys got curious here’s how it looks~

As for what I’m going to make next I’m not too sure but hopefully again something that can be used c:

Yeah I’m still pretty much obsessed with sky cities and things and haven’t built anything on the ground for a while LOL; My first time building a farm too, look at the fail with the melons >:

The server itself isn’t mine either. I think i gave the impression before that i was starting my own when actually I’ve been playing on a server that an old friend from school owns. If I had my own of course you guys could join any time – Look! Houses!

Built a (small) Wizard tower too, but with the new update that lets you build about three times as high I’d love to be able to build a huge one lol Maybe next time..

 No sky city would be complete without some airships, the is the only one I’ve built so far, but she is a fine vessel c:

Built a windmill too because windmills are awesome <3

 The only only real pain in the ass from building these though is making a “believable” underneath. I haven’t figured out a faster way to make them yet but there has to be a way lol

That’s all for now but when I’ve built some more stuff I’ll keep you guys posted c:

Just a sneak peek at what im working on at the moment, having a lot of fun with this one c:

Been playing more Minecraft recently and since its been ages since I last shown you guys what I’ve been up to I figured I’d show you guys real quick.

I seem to almost always build fantasy type worlds and cities, this one revolves around a huge tree filled with little houses and various levels o:

Also really taken to making “Sky Cities” these days too, they can look pretty cool but always get lazy with them lol

I really love building with the stone slabs <3

As I build more I’ll try and keep you guys posted if you’re interested – Will hopefully be checking out a new server soon too /excite c:

I’ve been interested in Victorian and Steampunk styles for quite a while and more so the past few months. I’ve always wanted to give it a try but never really knew where to start..

Rather than going all out I wanted to start with something small, an old iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen that was scratched to buggery and hadn’t used in a while

Making it was really fun, the thought of having something that is unique or one of a kind is pretty awesome and i love how the different metals catch the light

Expect more at some point, I’d love to make something bigger in the future c:

I have to admit im a bit of a sucker for game art rather than how good the game is or even what the game is about, but because Rune Factory Frontier had ties with Harvest moon as well I had to get it
Oh and if you guys have played any of these, please drop me a comment to let me know you experiences with them c:

I love the character design RFF has as well, Stella seems to have a weird mouth though lol

Next up is Fragile Dreams ~Farewell ruins of the Moon~. Which has got the longest title name iver ever seen haha the description sounded pretty interesting with this one but again the main reason was being a sucker for the box art

Having a quick through the manual for Fragile Dreams I came across this Bio sorry but I thought it was so random and had to show you guys LOL

Next is a game ive been trying to play for a while now, Muramasa! I love how this game looks both visually and how it plays too (side scrolling) It’ll probably be playing this one first, has anyone played this before?

Again the arts are beautiful though what is with Momohime’s leg?  I cant figure out what they were trying to do there – some kind of mega-muscle leg?..

Finally Is The Sky Crawlers – Innocent Aces

And all I can say about this one is that this guy looks just like my old science teacher o:

Hey guys I hope everyone is having a great holiday and having fun, sorry for the lack of posts recently but lately ive gotten totally hooked on that game Minecraft

Ive played it on and off for a while now but with the multiplayer aspect starting to take off ive been playing it with friends like Pasu a lot more, personally because I think its far more fun with others lol
Now I don’t claim to be the best builder in the world but here’s a couple of things I have done and also some things which we have made together. First off was the first ever “house” I built a sort of tree house?

After getting my bearings and figuring out the game a bit I then decided to make the Temple of Time, this one is supposed to be more like the OOT version, sorry its so dark too its underground XD

When that was done I decided to build a sort of flying dock, boats work well on it and its fun to ride down waterfalls and such in them!

And the latest thing to be completed was the suspension bridge, instead of roads it has a cannel on top, to the very left is the waterfall I was talking about… Minecraft is a really awesome game to be honest but you do have to give it some time to really get into it and see its potential in my opinion

Oh and I had to include one of Pasu’s creations as well, how awesome looking is that pixel Mewtwo?

And as if Minecraft wasn’t taking up enough of my time as it is ive also got one of these things now too! I had one of the original 360s in white but sold it not long after, im much more of a casual gamer than a serious one, my gamertag is cardboardrobot if you want to add me, maybe we can play sometime c:

New blog posts will be up soon and if I don’t see you sooner – Happy New Year!

Was super lucky this week to get a Christmas present early in the form of my first ever DSLR!

I was super excited to be given this at all let alone early and had to crack open the box as soon as I could lol. The first thing I was greeted with with all the paperwork, manuals and driver CD – Id never seen so many for a camera before!

Then onto the main bit, EXCITE

The camera itself seemed huge as ive always been used to using a Canon IXUS 75 for all my photography, feels like this one is really well made too, not that I intend to be careless with it or anything XD

Yikes sorry for the blurry photo but this is also the lens it came with. Im guessing pretty standard stuff but hey, my first lens!

Underneath the camera where all of its charging bits, cables and the rest of that gubbins

And of course being a complete novice means I had to read up first how to attach the lens to the damn thing… Oh before I forget too ive gone for a much smaller watermark from now on too, hope you guys like it! I find this one a lot more eye pleasing and less intrusive LOL

Finally the beast in its full form! I wanted to take pictures straight off only to find I had to charge the battery first bawwww

Speaking of which the charger it comes with seems to of come with the smallest adapter cable ive ever seen…

To wrap things up here is a little test photo trying out the Sony Alpha for the first time! Im totally impressed with the quality and cant wait to use it in the future! ( Clickable if you want to see a larger version)  c:

Picked up these little things recently which are basically Nintendo peg boards, they looked so awesome though I couldn’t resist lol

In each little box you get a set of instructions showing you what you can make, you can either make two of the little squares or combine them and make one larger one. Im gonna go for the big mario on the end! All you have to do is use these pictures as a guideline, its really simple.

Oh and here’s what you basically work with, those black squares are your peg boards, the tiny ones are connectors if you want to make a larger one and a couple of little stands – and of course the pegs.
Now I know you can easily make a pixel Mario out of lego but unfortunately I don’t have any lego to try it, I really wish I did. Would love to make a gargantuan plumber to scare away my enemies  c:

Okay half way there! I actually really liked it just as it was here if im honest…

Aaaaand the finished product at the end, it only took about 20 minutes to make it and this was between being distracted by the TV. That line you see in the middle is where the two boards connect but some tinkering around after taking this photo you can make that line virtually disappear.

I just wanted to share these with you guys, im off to make them all and stick them on my crappy, dull walls!
