Second week of college has come to a close. ^^ I have an entire one problem of math homework. -_- If you ask me, that seems a little on the pointless side, but oh well. Easy grade as far as I'm concerned.

So the other day, I was walking down the railroad tracks with a couple of friends and we came across three railroad spikes laying in the gravel some distance away from the tracks. Yay for randomness! I'm going to paint mine so that I can use it as a backdrop for the Z-Stacks models I'm making.

Speaking of my excessively random friends, we decided that we were going to cosplay the Z-Stacks for Halloween this year. We just need two more people so that we have the entire fleet at one time. If anyone who lives near WV Tech is interested, please contact me here. We still need Zorran and Zak.

Somehow, I ended up as Zip, my boyfriend as Zug, and our other friend chose Zebedee. Other then a few height issues, these parts seem to really fit us, though we tend to get a lot of odd looks when we start yelling at each other during lunch with each character's respective accent.

Well, I guess thats it for now. TTFN.

Ah thats nice, having a cosplay on the Zero fleet! Very impressive. Too bad I live in Wisconsin but thats okay, I would love to hear more about your cosplay. Did your reality friends heard of TUGS before?

Also I can see you're planning on making the exact models of the Zero tugs as I did, very nice indeed! ^^

^^ Thanks. I'll be posting photos when we actually dress in character. I was the one who introduced my friends to TUGS, and we all ended up becoming Zero fans. I can't wait for Halloween. ^^ I just hope we get Zorran and Zak soon.

Yep. Your models are what inspired me. Mine will be a lot smaller then yours though. I don't have that much desk space, so they can't be more then four or five inches long.

Oh I see, well I'm sure you'll do your best to make them in detail.

That'll be nice to have a Halloween party (Zero Fleet style)!

Of course. ^^ Since I don't have the Sculpey yet, I've been browsing around for detailed still shots that I can use as references. Its really hard to find shots of Zip and Zug from behind...

I hope so. We'll have to be careful though. I really don't want campus police thinking we're mobsters or something along those lines.

Ok, cool.

You can find the pictures of Zip and Zug probably on Google images and maybe the Bigg City Port fansite, its pretty easy to find. :)

I've got plenty of shots of them from the front and sides. Their backsides seem to be rather camera shy though. XD Worst comes to worst, I can go on youtube and see if I can pull any freeze frames from the videos there.

Not a bad idea, would you rather have someone give you a copy of a full length episode and you can go to Windows Movie Maker and take a picture of a screenshot of it and save it to your PC or something. Thats how I did. :)

That would be great because then I would also have access to the episodes even when I don't have an internet connection. I would have to configure it to iTunes though. (I have a Mac)

Oh I see, do you have a video editing software that you can make videos and mix up the clips like anyway you want? I made about 7 TUGS music videos of my favorite classic songs that I love to listen to.
