It's funny, a lot of my colleagues say the same thing.

Not true! In my hands, my Professional Fleshlight is like a Stradivarius!

I had another go at Snoopy’s head today... and so this little project oozes onwards by another drib, or drab, depending on your point of view.

He’s a bit rough looking (and I might still try a Mk. 2 version some day), but when seen at “normal” distance, doesn’t look too bad.

Anyway, my Snoopy’s head does resemble the shape and size of the real one a bit more accurately than the Chinese version.

I’ll crack on and get his body done tomorrow, and then shelve the whole thing for another 6 months er I mean and then I’ll get it all reassembled.

Just stick your head on the Gate body - the watch will become the exceedingly rare Snoopy Big Head.

More pain associated with this watch than any other in history.  (maybe the RWG watch was worse)

Nah, it’s way too soon after my last post. Give it another 18 months or so.

I have been very lax on the watch modding/wrecking front over the course of this last year or so. As you know, I still buy them, wear them, and spend endless hours reading and nattering about them on the forums, but my innate laziness kicks in and I find it all too easy to spend my time playing video games instead of doing anything practical. Plus, with other more pressing things on my plate, I think I lost a bit of enthusiasm and motivation.

So I do appreciate the occasional nudge, as a reminder that there is stuff sitting in my drawers waiting to get finished! :) 
 

Heh, I’ve never seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. But I can’t help feeling that sequence would be more analogous to my process if it was played backwards.

I didn't even know there was a rep of the 50th Anniversary version with a working rotating module. Cool! Although I wouldn't pay that money for it...

aargh these damn reps keeps getting more and more expensive, I wouldn't touch it even with a 10 foot pole but if a dealer/dropshipper gives me one and let me to keep it for shills and reviews hell I'd take one but to spend 600-700 buck on it? hell no.

 

Yes please please please finish it @Popperini ASAP
