One final piece to complete the puzzle

After a long career in airsoft, it has come down to this.  One final rifle to acquire that would complete my Real Sword Type 56 collection, the Type 56-1. A Chinese manufactured derivative of the iconic AK 47.  As an owner of the Real Sword Type 56, Type 56-2, and the SVD, I have been spoiled by the real steel and wood construction of these rifles.  It is just a notch below owning an actual one.

Going Back to Gunpla

I have yet to play airsoft for two months and with no certain date for my return, I have contemplated going back to building Gundam model kits to pass the time.  It has been almost two years since I last built my last model, so I am quite eager to get back.  I always find it relaxing and I could spend several hours cutting and sanding without realizing it.  There are several new kits that are quite expensive that I want to get, but I may go with an older and cheaper kit to get kinks out first.

RoboCop Figma

I have been a fan of RoboCop since I saw the movie in the theaters as a wee lad of eight.  When I first saw pictures of this toy, I knew right away that I must have it.  I was quite surprised that it was a Japanese company that made this and even stranger is the toyline that this came under.

Replacement Kindle

My replacement Kindle arrived today via UPS and I can finally resume my reading.  All I have to do is wait for the email from Amazon so I can send the defective one back to them. I will also need to check my credit card to make sure that they refund the second Kindle.  As can be seen in my blurry picture, the one on the right is the broken one where the top 2/3 of the screen is stuck on Agatha Christie and the bottom 1/3 is the working screen.  Had it been stuck on Emily Dickinson, I would probably declare it haunted and not touch a Kindle ever.  I hope the next update will allow users to customize the screensaver images.

Lie to Me

I have been pretty sick for the past week so I have not been doing anything at all at home.  Since I cannot go to the hospital for a visit either, I decided to watch a Korean drama titled Lie to Me.  I have been waiting for the subtitles to be completed and my method is usually a marathon of episodes.  Too bad work got in the way, otherwise I would have finished it.

My Ops Core Base Jump Helmet

So my helmet came in a few weeks ago, but I only managed to post this now.  What a relief it is to not use the Protec with my broken mount anymore.  I ordered the urban brown version, although once I have the time, this helmet will be painted.  At the moment, I don't have any fancy gadgets to put on the helmet other than the PVS-14.  Realistically, that is all I need, really.
