 Before drinking I managed to get the boosters done along with some leg parts. I was supposed to drink a lot but I remembered I have to go to another place tomorrow and I don't want to get a hangover. |

Great job on those rocket boosters and that collar! zozo-mag It was hard to bend that collar, I had to cut slits in order to bend that tube so that it won't defrom. I'm still figuring how thick should I make the legs and I think the feet needs to extend or else the figure can't be properly posed. |

It is amazing the things you can do bro! Pure hand-made goodness!!! Keep up the incredibly awesome work! }D It took me years to learn how to instinctively know how cut and pound pieces into the right shape. I'm just glad all the things I've learned from jewelry making can be applied to making figures. |

Bro, how long have you been doing it? The speed of your work makes it seem like you can make these things as easy as drinking water! }D |

Bro, how long have you been doing it? The speed of your work makes it seem like you can make these things as easy as drinking water! }D Lol, judging from the age of my daughter (which was the primary reason I got into this job) I can say about almost 13 years since I've been making jewelry. Experience does help the speed of crafting since I don't have to think about how to do it, I just need to know what to do. If I don't have a plan on what to make it would surely take some time to finish. I usually do these projects at night after I'm done with my day job. |

Im now making the arms and legs. I had to make them a bit longer since it's easier to remove the excess than adding bits if it turns out too short.  |

This is getting built so fast it's amazing. Keep it up G! I think working with silver helps since it's easy to work with. But the real challenge of this figure will be the joints in the end. I can safely say that making them will probably take the longest time on this figure since they have to be made precisely and they need lots of tiny parts to build. Also I'm still thinking of different types of joints even if I've made some progress with the garada figure. I need to challenge myself further with each figure I make or else I won't improve my craftsmanship. I also estimate that I'll probably be burned out for a week after I'm done with this |
