I accidently knocked over my Tomoe figure today and she took a bad fall T_T luckily she was okay with only a slight scratch on her gun... I was soo worried. BTW, awesome SnK prints in the background!! Thanks!! Oh noo D:!! Just a tip I do for my figures. If they're not in a display case, and are just standing on a bare table, I stick the bases down with putty/poster tack so they don't fall off. Here's my Homura You Are Not Alone figure for example. I live in California so we are more prone to earthquakes, so I took these safety precautions on almost every figure I have that are displayed bare. It is still possible for the figure to fall off because I noticed the PMMM figures by GSC; the base pegs don't go in very deep into the figure's feet, so they can be popped off the base with an accidental bump with a hand. Also for the Mami figure, if you can show me the damage on the gun, I might be able to help you out on how you can fix paint damages on your figures with ease (Following off of Mikatan's GSC blog) I hope this helped Also thank you! I love my Shingeki Prints and I chose wisely on my favorite ones from the Artist's Hall at AX2013.

That's a good trick with putting putty on the bottom. Might have to use that eventually.
When I went to AX2011 I didn't look through artist alley, but wish I had. I will have to if I ever go again. Because of my job getting off the first week of July is hard, but maybe I can take that Thursday off fly in and go on Friday (since it's the 4th I should have it off) and sat and fly back on Sunday.

I will have to look up SaekoFanBoy as that is not someone I'm familiar with. Or at least by name. I will say I am a bit more shy in person though lol. But I will talk with Dan and then see if we can actually do it and then see if our bosses will let us go.

You better tell your bosses who the boss really is Well it's like the worst possible time to take off because it's the beginning of our fiscal year and hence why I couldn't get it off last year. I'm hoping with the holiday already on friday it will be easier to ask for one day off.

We don't have earthquakes where I live but maybe it'd help with my clumsy-ness xD lol Sure, I'll take a picture of it and post it soon Thank you. I feel like I could probably paint over it... but I don't really have the right type of paint...?

Maybe at some point in the future I will have to try that to fix the sakura miku pillow that came with some paint missing.
In other news we finally got internet at my apartment and I was going to post my october mega haul last night, but it will have to wait until tonight as the first 15 seconds of the video took an hour and a half to render. urg. The rest wasn't so long, but by the time it was finished I just wanted to go to bed. It's a huge haul though. Longest haul video and possibly the longest video on my channel right now. About 15 minutes which I know isn't long compared to some videos you guys have lol

Oh that damage is not too bad at all! Should be an easy fix! Get a bottle of Tamiya White Enamel Paint and Tamiya Silver Paint. (Probably a 5 - 1 Ratio of White to Silver to give it a pearl white finish) Keep in mind if the tone doesn't match then feel free to change the ratio up following Mika-Tan's article on the whole trial and error paint mixing process. (You might want some thinner to help remove paint combinations you weren't satisfied with) Once you have a coat that you are satisfied with then paint that on there with a fine detail brush, then once dry, spray it with a Tamiya Spray Can Semi-Gloss clear coat. That should do the trick ! (You could also use a hair dryer to speed up drying times; however, I do not recommend it on the clear coat) Read more: mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2011/04/04/diy-figure-repairs-part-3-scuffed-paint/
