This week on the show, I’m talking about a few different things.  I finished the Perler bead pixel art Logan I was working on based on the animation stills I originally made for The Thirteenth Hour game I started back in college.  This was the frame I used:

And here is how he came out!

The other thing I recently found is a 4″ Gundam light up model that I found in my local dollar store.  I made a little unboxing and show/tell video which is below.

So for those of you familiar with Gundam as a cartoon series – where would you start (assuming you are unfamiliar with the property)?  Do you think you have to start at the beginning or can you start somewhere in the middle?

Lastly, I have a few updates on the GI Joe style Rocketeer figures as well as the Rocketeer Choose Your Own Adventure story – first draft done; now working on subsequent drafts.  I also made a dedicated page for those Rocketeer stories as well.

Thanks for listening!
