Not usually the kind of thing I'd post here, but I'm a happy little nerd today, having taken delivery of my NERF Aliens M41-A Pulse Rifle.
I realise Wolf Armouries made a 100% movie accurate Airsoft version a few years ago, but a) it cost about four times what this did, and b) considering the laws in my country regarding the ownership of replica firearms, I probably wouldn't be allowed to own one, even if I could afford one!
It's a really lovely thing; full scale, nicely detailed and. . ."Feel the weight." It's also really nicely packaged, and I'll probably be displaying it in the box, with the lid open.
Once I've figured out where the frik it's gonna go! 😅

Next big project will be a mannequin for my armor set.
Found a dandy one and I should be able to scale it to my proportions, now to find more bulk filament on the cheap. It can also be posed a little bit, wonder how crazy I can get with it.

(Miniature) couch restoration
I found this couch ( with a bunch of other things I didn't care about) for 2$ at a second hand store
Finding dollhouse miniatures is kind of rare around here so I grabbed it, I thought at worst it would be a cheap MDF off of AliExpress or something and I could repaint it, but once I scraped a bit of the paint off I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice wood finish!
There was at least 3 to 4 layers of paint through (‘◉⌓◉’) (white, gray, maybe white again and finally pink)
Out of curiosity I pried up the fabric which was obviously not the original, to find another unoriginal fabric and pried that up too and that was still not the original 🤣 matroshka doll of upholstery
After huffing 99% alcohol and paint brush cleaner for probably 5 or so hours I ended up with this
I left the back and seat of the couch rough as it would be covered in fabric anyway, it looks like that maybe at some point this got sanded in a few spots? I fixed it up by finally using my furniture repair markers as intended (mostly I don't think they had mini furniture in mind)
You can see on the left half where I tried different colours to see what would match best
Now new upholstery! I only had the original couch cushion seat so I decided to just redo the whole thing in silk of corse (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
I wanted it to look a little worn so I picked this really textured blueish green/cream dupini silk
From barbie would be embarrassed to have this in her house to Victorian centerpiece! Or well I would like to think so ;;;
