Today I finally finished the Kermit for Ed. I had started in March last year but then a pandemic hit... The limbs are made from Suralin from my East German childhood, which is like FIMO a clay that can be hardened in the oven. I mixed green and yellow to get the right color. Then I connected them with wire so it is poseable. The exact right color for the collar came from a flyer that advertised the cleaning of curtains. I think the arms are a bit too long so I may re-do them. But otherwise I love him!

There's a new simulator program on the Orville - a romantic Winter Park! Let's have a walk?

Christmas has come early for my Ed - I bought him a model of the Wright Brother's plane. It's by Carlton Heirloom.

Today I sent the HeroClix Orville team on a mission with the new Eaglemoss shuttle. There is also an Orville model if anyone wants it, in two sizes, big and small.

A friend on Twitter requested a Valentine's Day
card with Ed drinking alone at the bar. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy "Cupid's Dagger" Day!

Merry Christmas or whatever they celebrate in the 25th century to cast & crew - who hopefully enjoy a well deserved break - and fans of "The Orville"! Lucky are those who have a food synthesizer ;)

Today is the birthday of Seth MacFarlane! He was born just a few days after me, in the same year ;)

Happy Birthday!

My little Ed was bored so I made him the Bolodon disks game. I hope he teaches me the rules so we can play together!
Made with Shrinky Dink, a plastic straw and some small beads.

I got this model kit for a vending machine from HobbyLink Japan. I left one side open so I even was able to put a light in!

I only had built the lab table set so far and that was snapped together so this was the first that I actually had to glue and I apparently made every mistake you can do

I bent the front side too much while trying to cut it off from the frames and ended up with a visible tear/break. And despite my best intentions I also had smeared glue on the front side so I ended up painting it red which does not really show thankfully. I also managed to get glue onto the clear pieces and trying to wipe that off with paint remover was not one of my smartest ideas... well the clear parts are now frosted glass and who says that can't be possible?

Finally I seem to have some parts left over but that is not my fault, the manual never asked for them. I also think they mixed up parts 11 and 12. Despite all this, I am still very happy with the result and I even managed to put a light into it.
I might want to look for some black square as base so I can rise it up a little for my larger figures. Ed is 6" but also bent over a bit.

Ed and I enjoyed the first "The Orville" comic very much and we can't wait for part 2 coming out this week. It was like watching a new episode.
