This weekend I built some furniture to cover the space between the sofa and the wall in the game room. I came up with a design on paper and calculated all the measurements, bought some plywood and had it cut accordingly, and proceeded to put it together with my dad's help. I even have a battle scar on my left hand's middle finger, caused by some pliers I was using to cut nails in half because they were a bit too long. There are still three bubbles filled with clotted blood on the finger (a big one about a quarter-inch wide on top, and one medium and a tiny one below it), which are just there looking at me while I type this.   It is a bit swollen but it doesn't hurt at all, it just looks ugly. I was lucky the pliers did not rupture the skin, so hopefully it will heal soon.  

But enough about the detailed description of my wound. The furniture is a wooden desk that I plan to use for displaying my LOTR dioramas, as well as for more miscellaneous storage space. I already finished the assembly and I just need to sand it and paint it with the brown paint that matches the front wall (behind the TV) in the room. Hope it turns out well.

Speaking of dioramas, last night I finished the Warg Attack one I've been working on for the last five or six months. I think it turned out pretty nice, it is much more colorful than my previous one, and also bigger and contains more miniatures. It's been the toughest one so far, having to individually create patches of grass out of rope and blades of grass material, and paint them to look realistic. I can't believe I forgot this, but many thanks must go to my good friend Jaime Valle, who helped me a great deal to achieve this, and from whom I still learn a good trick or two at the workshop. Check out the pictures.

And last but certainly not least, Alejandro and Jessica's wedding was on Saturday, and it was a lovely wedding. Ali and Jess, I know that by now you are having a blast over there in San Fran, but I want to wish you guys the best anyway. I am sure you will have a great honeymoon, and hope to see you soon after you come back. A big hug to the both of ya!
