I've finally got enough money to get my hands on a new garage kit! My new project will be Cloud Strife riding the Hardy Daytona. I am bursting with excitement. Unfortunately, he won't be here until around my birthday.
Until then, I'm making big plans for this boy. My plans include:
1. Updating his outfit to the Crisis Core design for SOLDIER 1st class. This includes ditching his old shoulder guard and sculpting two new ones for each shoulder, sanding off the bangle on his left hand, adding the two belt straps below the SOLDIER belt, and a few other bits and pieces here and there.
2. Adding his earring, as I'm pretty sure the original design did not include it.
3. Updating the Buster Sword to include the elaborate decorations. And maybe add a little "wear and tear and rust", after all, Zack did use it before Cloud got it and Cloud did use it before he stole the Hardy Daytona, right?
4. Adding a magnet to the back of Cloud's suspenders and embedding a magnet in the Buster Sword so it can be attached to Cloud's back. I might need some extra space on my night stand, lol.
5. Headlights for the Hardy Daytona. Real ones, that light up. I'm feeling ambitious.
6. Resculpting Cloud's hair so it looks a little more feathery, like it does in Crisis Core.

I'll be recording my progress, starting in 1-2 weeks when Cloud arrives, in my livejournal:

I hope you guys will pray for luck for me, I'm going to need it. This is only my third gk, but it's going to be so worth it. Assuming my plans work out the way they should...
