@ Auxryn: I can laugh at that joke so long as I don't see any pieces of leather or rope on your working space.

And when I renewed mine a couple of years ago, I sent it to Hong Kong! Of all the...! I've never been so..!me_in_japan wrote:Today I painted a smidge, assembled a smidge, and got very annoyed at British passport rules. Seriously. 6 weeks to process a renewal. Which takes place in Liverpool. 10 years ago it was 2 weeks in Osaka, but hey, that's progress for yaAlso, wtf is wrong with a blue background on the photo? My nearest photo booth only does blue.
Razzinfrazzin UK government...
Horsewhip them to within an inch of their lives...! Just what on earth, Mr. Cameron, do we (not) pay UK taxes for, rant, fume..
I think mine was much faster than 6 weeks, more like 3, so you may be lucky. Although the Passport Office was seriously struggling recently to process its backlog if I recall aright.

Re: What did you do today.
Would it help if I said I did mine online, had it approved and in the post by the next day, and in my hands within the week? 
Hobby wise, I base coated a large piece of scenery for my current top secret project. At this rate I might have something ready for January's Joshin event.

Also, lord save us from incompetent photographers. Given the blue issue with the photo booth, I figured I should just pay up and get a quick passport photo taken at the wee photo studio in the mall. 5 minutes service, it says...
45 FRICKIN' MINUTES LATER....!!
I walked out with some, frankly, mediocre mugshots. There's a point at which incompetence becomes funny, and this guy sailed right past it. I swear I was *this* close to just taking the camera off him and doing it all myself.
But at least the pics didn't have a blue background. There's that, I suppose...

Here's the finished product from this afternoon, in comparison with the picture from the book:
I'm going to try to touch up the gun a little, but I am reasonably ready to call it tabletop quality.

@Auxryn - Looks good.
Today I started building a US M10 Tank Destroyer, watched a few episodes of the Simpsons and did a tiny, tiny amount of painting.

Watched Star Trek First Contact a total of 3 and a half times in the past 3 days. Feeling like a Trekkie. Did a sci fi hangout on google for the film. It was a lot of fun.
Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.

Re: What did you do today.
This evening I did a smidge more painting. Things are making progress, which is good. It's been a good few weeks since I last did any painting, so it's good to be back on the wagon
