New Project

So now I have a new project to start on, but first some background.(If not I'll forget why I'm calling it what I am XD)
So in my gaming clan my squad is pretty good at getting in and taking objectives fast, and keeping them. However on the forums we tend to be kinda quiet. So one day one of the higher ups came in and said "Sabers, you guys have got to be THE quietest, sneakiest, bomb ninjas in the world." and that just seems like an awesome thing to be, a Bomb Ninja. So thats my new project, to become a bomb ninja. XD

Basically all I'm going to do is make some accessories to wear for awesomeness.
A hat, made of black canvas with neon green fleece lining, and 1 or 2 velcro spots for patches.
A half-mask, that'll basically cover my chin, mouth, and nose, for that ninja look. :D
Probably add some fingerless gloves in there, again just for awesomeness, and most likely with a nice embroidered Feng symbol, thinking neon green.
The patches I'll be adding will most likely be hand made, squad logo and maybe a medic patch.
Looking at it in text, it looks like a lot, but it shouldn't be too much. Got most of what I need already.

Xiangqi Board

So my Xiangqi board is probably the closest to being done.
Currently the board is in the finishing stages, just need to cut it down to a more manageable size, and maybe etch the lines into the surface.
In terms of pieces, I have half of a traditional set finished. They are made of sculpey, just formed into flat disks with the symbols written on in sharpie.
I also have half of a figurine set, they are pieces more in the style of western chess.
All in all this will probably be the first project finished. :D

Arc Welder

I've been working on an arc welder. I say working as if I've done much XD.
So far what I've done is removed the secondary coil from a microwave oven transformer. I'm barely half done, as I need a second transformer, roughly 50 feet of 10g wire, and some jumper cables. Still a lot to be done with this one.
Ah well, gives me plenty of time to find a good enclosure, preferably something non-flammable.

M.A.G.

So, figure I'll post about where I'm at with each project, starting with MAG.

Currently, I have the SVER figures, they are on bases but need flocking and painting.
I used the Sahadeen from Rebel Minis, I figure, their nomadic nature and their hooded troops fit with SVERs look and feel.

Plan to get Raven next, most likely going to be the Titan Marines, also from Rebel.

Project list 5/11

Current Projects:

M.A.G. in mini: I plan to recreate the Massive Action Game PS3 game in the form of a  15mm miniature wargame. Current plan is to use miniatures from Rebel Minis to recreate the 3 PMCs from the game.

Arc welder: Building a DIY arc welder, figure the best way to learn welding is by understanding how the welder works. Plus it's cheaper than buying one.

Xiangqi board and set: Doing a custom Xiangqi (Chinese chess) set and a homemade board.

Well that's all I have for the moment, there's probably more I'm forgetting to mention, but I'll post if I remember

Intro

So the whole purpose of this blog is for me to keep track of all the projects I'm working on.
This isn't necessarily  for other people to read, but hey, someone may find some use from it, or inspiration.
Anyway I decided to make it look at least a little interesting, if not I wouldn't want to stare at it long enough to keep up with it.

Next post will have current project descriptions.
