[Painting] The Legend of Zelda - Hyrule Crest

I haven't done any artsy stuff lately and I finally decided what to do with my second token. I will paint more tokens and switch it around on the amiibo box. Since J is a huge The Legend of Zelda fan, I figured this would be appropriate to have around. I also got Testors Dullcote lacquer and wanted to try it out. Thus this painting project was born.

Weekend Fun

This past weekend, Nintendo World Store had a doubles tournament for Super Smash Bros for Wii U. At first, I was thinking J and I both should try to enter. Upon inquiring about more details, it seemed like a pain to be the first 128 players lined up early on Saturday. We lived about 4 hours away from the store so it wasn't exactly easy to get there early in the morning. Also we realized if we lost early, then we would just end up heading back early. It would be a waste of time. Instead, we decided we rather play with our friends.

HarmoKnight Overview

After posting about amiibos constantly for the past week, I think it's time for a game.

HarmoKnight is an eshop only game. I tried the demo a while back and fell in love with it. I didn't have money for it and decided to wait on getting it. I got it off Club Nintendo and was excited to play the full version of the game.

Back From My Brother's Graduation

I'm not even sure where to begin on this one. My family decided to drive 11 hours (more like 21 hours) to my brother's graduation. Terrible idea. Never drive that far. I drove for a few hours and was stuck in traffic for the majority of it. Also my dad likes to avoid tolls which is why it was 11 hours. On the way back we just said pay the tolls which was 10 hours instead (about 16 hours). It was horrible getting lost often.

Project Diva F/f (PS3/PS Vita)

PS Vita and PS3 versions! PS Vita is in Japanese.

I owned the PS3 version first since I didn't have a PS Vita and didn't know when I would have gotten one. Fast forward a year later and I received a Vita. Soon after, I brought the game which would have been cheaper than getting the digital version in the PS store. So now I own both versions and I only play the PS Vita version.

There's nothing wrong with the PS3 version. My preference just ends up to playing on handhelds.

[Painting] - Smash Ball

Smash Ball token is used as a "seal" to the amiibo storage doors but it can probably  be used for many other decorative purposes. I haven't painted in a long time so I'm probably quite rusty. 

Amiibo Storage - Part 2

Finished product with a few amiibos.

Part 2 took about 4-5 days to complete but it was worth it. It would take only a few hours if I redid it again. The outer layer is over the layer in Part 1. The point is to protect the amiibo's from getting too dusty. I do play with them so it couldn't be too difficult to open.

The box cap in Part 1 was only 3" thick which was too small for Bowser. This one had to be 4" thick to accommodate Bowser. I cut the cardboard down to a smaller size I needed and measured the length by placing it over the Part 1 box. I crossed checked often to make sure that the sizing is correct.
