Don't be fooled, this is an amazing custom Gundum kit

0

One of the most exciting things about this hobby is seeing others thinking outside the box. Sure, anyone can slap paint on a model kit, and some do an amazing job at it, but then you get pieces like this that are just too epic for words. Although, this wouldn't be much of a post if I didn't come up with a few words. 

Mumumuno53 clearly wanted to make something eye-popping when he devised this rebuild of an RX-78-2 Gunpla and painted it up to look like it walked right off of an animation cell. Unless you can find something to focus on (try the hands) it's hard to distinguish the 3D figure from 2D. 

You can check out some of the photos mirrored in the gallery below or you can see all of the photos at the link above. I've seen a lot of figures and kits painted up similar to this, but this is really on a whole other level.

My Custom Gift Wrap Arrived - YIPPEE!!!

0
0


I was thrilled the other day when I received notification from Spoonflower.com that my custom gift wrap order, which I had written about in a blog post entitled "How Can You Resist Adorable Custom Gift Wrap? I Know I Can't" had been shipped.


I could hardly wait to see it as I wanted to see how my holiday and snowmen designs came out on gift wrap.


Plus, I was anxious to see how the gift wrap would look on our present decorations as hubby and I wanted to re-wrap the presents we decorated with Christmas paper and wire ribbons and put over the cabinets in our kitchen.


Well, I have to tell you the custom gift wrap doesn't disappoint. It comes in a long box, securely rolled and packaged in a long, clear resealable bag - which makes it so easy to store. The paper is thick and fabulous and so easy to work with. There is no chance of you accidentally putting your finger through this gift wrap or accidentally ripping the corner when trying to box the edges.

Plus, you don't have to turn the edges over to get that nice smooth look like you need to do with thin gift wrap. Cut a nice straight line and the edges look beautiful just they way they are.


And best of all hubby loved it - which is a huge a compliment for this paper as he does all the wrapping in our house. We have a perfect system. I organize the gifts into boxes, he wraps the boxes, and I decorate them.


I had chosen the satin finish versus the matte finish for my custom gift wrap as I wanted it to shine under our recessed lights. It's hard to tell from the pictures but the boxes look so festive and colorful under the lights. I just LOVE it.

Here's the custom gift wrap I ordered:

  

  

  

  

  

My custom gift wrap arrived and I couldn't be happier with the results.
