Optimus Prime Head DONE!




After several months of cutting, gluing, frustration, then pulling out my hair! Yes, I have completed Part 1 of this epic papercraft model. When completed this model will stand 28 inches tall! Consisting of well over 100 sheets of paper.

FYI:
"Optimus Prime is a character in the Transformers universe. He is the leader of the Autobots, a faction of heroic Transformers from the planet Cybertron who wage their battles against the evil forces of his brother's group the Decepticons for control of their homeworld, and by extension, peace in the universe."
(If you got the time & commitment, here the link to build your own!)

Still yet to be done is the chest and torso of the model! More update in the future!

New Aquarium Up and Running



Here the second aquarium after fixing the leak in the 10 gal. tank. Just got it done on Sunday so it still cloudy. Need to get a good filtration system and shrimps!



Above is an update picture of the 50 gal. with java moss on a tree branch. So far no plant growth but lots of algae growth! Wondering wtf is going on...

Aquarium Planting


Just got plants yesterday (Feb 24th) and took 6 hrs decorating the aquarium. Very time-consuming and frustrating!

After finishing, I find out I have too many plants, gotta sell some...

Here picture with CO2 injector installed. Still having problems getting it to work. I don't see any bubbles leaving the exit valve of the reactor chamber.
