Been a very long while since I made a journal, but I think it's long overdue for one to be frank.

To get everyone up to speed, I'm still slowly getting tanks posted; it's just that there's a lot of other irl stuff in the mix that take precedence over them.

I got a new job; it's an overnight one so my usual routines are not like I've usually done. I want to try and keep Fridays and Saturdays as similar to my old routine as possible, but realistically I'm probably going to be posting things at 3 AM or something like that. I'll figure something out though.


Work on Carrier is chugging along. Slowly, but it's going. If you're not sure what that is, I have a link to my AO3 page (I could post my writing work here too but I've gotten used to this place being my tank museum stuff). There will also be **Official** Fluffi lore sometime this summer also, mainly because I'm beginning to get those lil bastards involved in my other writing projects and I'd like to have a detailed reference to go off of.
Is "Fluffi" the species' name? Yes. Are they unique and completely original from anything else on here? Probably not, unless you consider strange matter-based lifeforms original and unique. Will people be interested in making their own Fluffis? Probably not, but that might be moreso because I haven't really made concrete lore of them yet...or so I tell myself. In any case, that'll be in the works...and hopefully not shafted like my other attempts at an official species.


I do want to get back into more drawing but that might just depend on if I have time and motivation.

That's about it really. Hopefully I can get a rhythm going, but we'll have to see. In the meantime, Cheers!

Well, the roadmap is kinda out the window now. Kinda obvious with how inactive I've been (which isn't a bad thing per se).

A lot has happened. My birthday came and went, I've managed to get PTO for the Armor Exhibition down in Georgia this year. And I've just had the unpleasant discovery that the company I've been working for has decided to shut down our station this upcoming month, meaning I will have to start looking for a job soon (as much as I wish I were, an artist I am not).

I've also been doing a lot of personal restructuring here and there, mostly to help me be more efficient with the time spent from day to day. I'm pretty dry on ideas at the moment, besides expanding Fluffi lore because that is apparently my new "lore project" I guess. Nevermind the fact I've tried to (and failed, to put it bluntly) do lore stuff for two other projects; I might revisit them...maybe.

Other than that, I don't know what else to put here. I don't know if anyone reads these journals I make, but at the very least they allow me to express my current thoughts on things. Thinking sometimes makes my head hurt...

Anyways, catch all of y'all later. Till next time,

Howdy. First of all, I know this is belated but I want to thank everyone for the views and favs; silly as it sounds, I do appreciate it. As I've said before, it's nice knowing that there's people who enjoy or share similar hobbies as I have. And with the new coming soon, I do have plans.

Biggest one in mind right now is preparing for one of the open house events down in Fort Moore, which basically has the largest armor collection this side of the the Atlantic.

Also planned for next year will be visiting the veterans' memorial/museum up in Terre Haute. Might tackle that sometime between February and early March.

A bunch of writing works for AO3. I'm aware not everyone really knows about that site, so it's no big deal. I just bring it up since that's where I post my fanfictions and whatnot, instead of here.

There's also some possibility of seeing some drawn stuff here too, but do be aware that it takes longer for me to get motivated on that end.

Other than that, a lot of stuff is still not fully planned out, but hopefully things play out smoothly.

TL;DR: Thank you guys for being such a great community, and I hope you'll be eager to see what happens for 2025.

Well, more things to keep track of. Sometime this Winter, I'm looking at having to tackle the following:

- New Cobi set (Last one for a while, because I literally have no space for more)
- Post a new chapter to AO3.
- Plan out next museum trip (Fort Branch, IN I believe)

That's about it, really. Sprocket stuff will have to wait a while, but that's not really a problem for me.

I know I haven't been doing much here but in all fairness I think that's normal for most people on this site; long periods of not much with little bursts of activity in between them. Anyhoo, hope Thanksgiving will be good to you all.

Well, been a while since I wrote something like this. Basically trying to keep myself on track because no lists make me lost.

- Finish new COBI set.
- Finish "Light" Tank design in Sprocket.
- Plan next museum trip (might take a while given idk how many vacation hours I have).
- Release new story out on AO3.

That's about it. I might attempt a doodle maybe, but drawing has never been my forte.

Basic mental notes for me to keep track of nothing to see here...

- Update profile page.
- Consider plans for next museum trip.
- Get around to putting together new tank set.
- Possible Sprocket tomfoolery.

Well, the mystery tank is getting worked on again; not going to give an exact time when it'll be done, but hopefully soon enough. Following that I'll be able to work on some other sets I've built...and Im probably going to have to find more room to put them...

Something else I'm thinking about is moving all my current stories over to AO3, as by this point my whole page here is basically "Cobi tanks, museums, and maybe some doodles/sprocket stuff". Anything Raahz'Dor related will be moved over to the ungodly mess that is my scraps section, but can still accessed regardless.

So far I'm working in another story called Carrier, and though it might not be Shakespeare, I think I'm doing well enough with it.

Also my birthday will be coming in 10 days. Getting a new lamp because why not. Anyways, hope y'all are doing fine.

Well, I didn't really anticipate writing this, but unfortunately one of the pieces on the new tank set I was putting together just refused to fit, and to make matters worse, it's a piece that's pretty important to actually making the tank work. So effectively I'm going to have to start over, as I've spent a good half hour trying to get the damn thing fixed but nothing's worked and in all truthfulness I just can't see myself trying to continue when there's something sticking out like a sore thumb. So yeah, I'm gonna have to start over once again, which is rather infuriating to say the least... *autistic screeches*.

Hoping to God and whatever eldritch powers there be that this replacement set doesn't do the same thing, or else I'm going to be a very angry fluffi.

Self explanatory title but yeah, I've been kind of going through a slog right now. This isn't exactly new to me, as I've always had trouble motivating myself to do much during the first quarter of the year. Even so it does frustrate me someone because I want to do more by just can't really get into the groove until like, springtime.

That doesn't mean I'm just going to wait till March to roll by though...or it shouldn't anyhow. Sometime this coming week I might upload something, or at least that's the plan. Hopefully though you can understand where I'm coming from, at the very least.

Anyways, hope you all have had a good Valentines day, hope to get some stuff done here.

Finally back into the 40s! Woo!

Simple title, self explanatory. Also been low energy for a while, partly because working in 12 degree weather for 10 hours can make you feel a little badgery.

Might mess around a bit in sprocket after work. Maybe. Hope you guys are staying warm;

First of all, Merry Christmas to all of you, hope you're spending time with friends and family, and looking forward to another new year. I got some idea of what I've got planned; new Cobi sets, another Raahz'Dor story, and perhaps another museum expedition, should the opportunity arise. I've also been moved a bunch of things from my main gallery over to scraps but you can pretty much see all of my stuff by using the folders I've made.

That being said, most of this stuff is going to be put on hold on account of I'm currently dealing with a mild case of bronchitis, which while not necessarily being the worst thing to have happen to me, is certainly something to not take lightly. So for about the next week or so, I'll be preoccupied with getting my health back on track. Hope you all understand and I wish you merry holidays.

Well, I've finished getting my museum pictures out here. It took a while, but it's done and I thank you all for taking the time to look at some of the things I've came across while I was there. If you're interested in seeing the museum in person, I'd highly recommend it.

With that said though, I'm going to take a bit of a break. I might post a few doodles here and there, but looking through my gallery I'm going to need to do some serious organizing come New Year's. Not only that, I'm kind of hoping to get some brain juices going so I can get back into the swing of writing. I'll likely post those come January...a lot of things are kinda planned for January.

Aaaanyway, hope you've all enjoyed me sharing my time up at Vincennes. This is only the beginning of my museum adventures!
- best regards, Fluffi

I don't think I've been using these journals properly, and to be honest I might not ever will, but at the moment I'm juggling about six or seven different kinds of thoughts and I'm largely just fumbling around trying to get used to the flow of things here.

Right now I'm considering on trying to do more writing works after finishing uploading my museum pictures, and waiting till the start of next year to resume Cobi tank stuff. I'm also considering on reposting the 1:48 scale tanks as one instead of giving them a whole showcase, I don't really know.

Main gallery content will largely consist of tanks, story works, and probably my doodles (I can't really call them sketches). Everything else will be moved to scraps, however you should be able to view most of my stuff through the folders I have set up. Upload schedule right now is basically whenever I'm feeling like it, but I do plan on establishing a proper upload schedule. Things are just all over the place right now. Hope you understand.
