Reading for week 13, 29th to 4th of april 2021

This week we enter april and the first quarter of the year is already gone! Signs of spring everywhere, which is nice. It feels lovely to take long walks around our neighbourhood, and fill up with energy.
This time I’m using my Angel tarot deck for the message for this week.

Monday to wednesday.

The first card for this week is “The Chariot” and it says “An important achievement. Self-discipline and willpower. Public recognition.” “Congratulations! This card means you’ve successfully balanced a recently challenging situation! Your ability to see both sides, take action, and make decisions has garned you approval, respect, and gratitude. So bask in the joy of what you’ve accomplished!
Stay calm and grounded, and be clear about what you’re trying to achieve. It’s important to show self-control, determination, and the willingness to go the distance at this time. Exercise control firmly – but kindly – with other people.”

Thursday and friday.

The second card is “Eight of fire” and it says “Events moving at a fast pace. Delays are over. Many things happening at once.” “Hold on thight, because things now move into high gear! Past delays are over, and your plans manifest with swiftness and energy. You may feel caught off guard as frenzied activities take over. It’s exhilarating and a little overwhelming, but it feels good to see your dreams coming true.
Suddenly, you have a lot of things going on. Too many balls in the air? Stay grounded. Your messages are recieved positively right now. Embrace the spotlight.”

The weekend.

The last card is “Page of water” and it says “A new person enters your life. A relationship begins a new phase. Heightened psychic abilities.” It can also stand for a person who is intuitive, sensitive, artistic and friendly. “A new person or enotion-rousing situation enters your life. It could be the start of a friendship or romance, or the renewal of one from your past. A current relationship may enter a new phase. It’s important to discuss your feelings with those around you. Your intuition and psychic abilities may also be heightened during this time.”

Summary:

This week sounds like an interesting and intense week. Hold your reins as you move forward, full speed ahead to reach your goals. Things seem to go fast at least until the weekend were you might make a new friendly aquintance. With heightened intuition it might help connect with your inner guidance.

Are you clear over where you’re heading, your goals?
Can you keep your balance and hold the reins?

Reading for week 12, 22nd to 28th of march 2021

This week I’ve choosen to work with the Magick Path deck, and here are the cards i got.

Monday to wednesday.

The first card for this week is “Present” and it says “Magick unfolds Here & Now! This is the only instant that counts and that is eternal. Enjoy it!” Be present in the now! The past is gone and the future is unknown. I think this card tells us to focus on what we’re doing right now and that we need to be in the present moment. Enjoy what’s unfolding!

Thursday and friday.

The second card is “Path” and it says “This is part of Your Soul Path. Spirit is gently moving You forward.” We are being guided forward by Spirit, how beautiful isn’t that? There is a path to follow, and we will get help to walk that path, we just need to look for the signs that we are given by Spirit and the Universe.

The weekend.

The last card for this week is “Inspiration” reversed, and the card says “Images, Sounds, Words, Flavors, Scents, People, Animals, Plants … ALL that surrounds You magickally inspires You!” All those things are here to get inpiration from, but perhaps we’re missing out on it somehow. I think this is what Spirit is guiding us to, so use this opportunity to get inpired of what you see and feel!

Summary:

By staying in the present and following the path we’re guided to we can get the inspiration we need to proceed with our dreams. Spring is coming and much is happening in our beautiful nature. Many things to get inpired by. Let inpiration flow in the now!

What can you do to stay present?
Are you listening to the guidance the Universe gives you?
What inpires you?

Adding tracks on the warrior

The tracks on this one is of the link and lenght kind, which at times is easier than linked tracks. The smaller curved link parts are glued to the drive sprockets and the rear wheels.
Just take care when fitting those parts and check the direction of the tracks on each side.
Assembly starts with the wheels and the top lenght part.

Once the top part is in place, the wheel halves can be glued in place, before continuing with the rest of the track.
I assembled the front and rear track parts first before adding the bottom track. I was a bit worried that it shouldn’t fit as the wheels have slightly different positions, and don’t make a straight flat line on the bottom. Perhaps it’s supposed to look like the tank is driving over something. Anyway I started by gluing it to the front end, and let it dry for a while.

After working with the turret a while, I glued the last bit of the track.

So now I got one side done, and it looks like it should work. I’ll start on the other side asap.

As stated before I did some work on the turret. I started by gluing the front part with the gun mantle.

Then I started to add a lot of small parts to the turret.

Still quite a few parts to add to the turret. Will do that soon, but will probably do the other track first.
The turret really comes much later in the description, but I needed something to work on while other things was drying, as I didn’t want to continue with the topside parts before the tracks was in place.

Fearless, a completely new song!

Just recently I finished writing and recording a brand new song, called “Fearless”.
Inpired by the Fearless Academy coaching program I was a member of last year.

As usual I’ve done it in a reggae style, but I was asked to also do it in ska style, so I upped the tempo a bit and rewrote the drums and all other parts necessary for a ska song.

So here it is! 🙂

Enjoy! 🙂

The Warrior build progress.

The wheels, armor plates and underside got painted with the last colour tone.

The wheels got their rubber surfaces painted.

I also re-painted the tracks in a slightly different metal colour.

Track parts painted. — Track parts painted

I’ve worked some with the turret interior, and got it ready to assemble.

Turret and body test fitted. I hope I can unmount it!

Next will be to assembly all the wheels, and start to give the tracks a rusty sandy kind of look using Tamiya weathering sets. Then I can assembly the tracks and get on with the topside.

Reading for week 10, 8th to 14th of march 2021.

The Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid, felt like a good deck to use this week. Here this week started out good with some nice sunshine, even though it was a bit cold still. So some nice affirmations could be nice to keep the positive feelings going! Here’s the cards I got!

Monday to wednesday.

The first card is “Messenger of water” which translates to Queen of heart in an ordinary deck. She stands for romantic attraction, chivalry, admiration, seeing the best in others, heightened emotional awareness, a call to fall in love with yourself.
The following affirmations comes with the card:
“I need to look for the best in others and honor it even when it seems a challenge to do so.”
“My attractions stem from self-love and a knowledge that I am a part of all love, which takes many forms, each exquisite in its own way.”
“I can have what I desire. There is no need for jealousy, anger, resentment, or fear when I am love and love flows into me powerfully.”

Thursday and friday.

The second card is the “Tower – Surprices” and this is what it tells us. “Things happen very fast when this card shows up in a reading. Its appearance could portend a total paradigm shift or a sudden upheaval that takes something away in order for something better to take place. It could be that I’ve had an epiphany. Whatever it is, this card tells me unexpected events will be very interesting and offer opportunities for positive transformation if I remain present with my eyes open.”

The weekend.

The last card is the “Magician – Alchemy” and it says “When I am in alignment with Spirit’s will, miracles are possible. When I see this card, I’m reminded that my will and skill alone alone will yield limited results. When I remember my partnership with Spirit, all is well. I’m required to explore my commitment to this co-creative alchemical relationship and see the results manifest beautifully. Through me, Spirit works magic.”

Summary:

Time to forget anger and negative emotions and give ourselves some self-love, seeing the best in others and be prepared for whatever the middle of the week might bring. Don’t worry, it isn’t as bad as it might seem at first glance, it will get better. Perhaps we might need to rethink how we view things at hand. Connecting with Spirit will help us create the miracles we desire.

The Warrior underside and wheels painted.

A bit of slow progress, but I’ve finally managed to get the underside and all wheel parts painted.

There’s an intentional uneven look to it. Now I only need to paint the wheel rubber rims, and start assembling wheels and then the tracks.

The turret is really a bit further ahead, but I’ve started working with it a bit, and the interior part is done, and the inside of the turret got some primer inside, as the primer is a match for the interior colour.

There’s actually quite a few parts that go on the outside of the turret, hatches, and periscopes and boxes and whatnot.
The plan is to glue these parts, and then continue with tracks and the hull and all the parts on the topside.

Reading for week 9, 1st to 7th of march 2021.

First week of march, and I feel time is flying by. This week I’ve choosen the “Magick Path” deck by Silvia Camerini. So let’s see what it has to say for this week.

Monday to wednesday.

The first card is “Moon” and it says “Tune into Your Feminine Side; Your Moods and Your Cyclic Nature”. It’s when we connect with our feminine side that we get a deeper connection with our intuition. Our moods change with the phases of the moon and the season. And everything goes in cycles. We just need to trust what we feel at the moment is right, and let that guide us, follow our moods.

Thursday and friday.

The second card is “Clarity” and it says ” What You desire desires You. Become clear with it, enlighten it. When we become clear with what we desire in our life, the path also will become clearer. We will be guided towards that goal, step by step. Just keep in mind what your goal is, and the rest will follow.

The weekend.

The last card for this week is “Wisdom” reversed, and the card says “There is Sacred Wisdom within You. Listen to it and act according to it”. Now when we listened to our intuition and got clear with what we want, we need to listen to our inner wisdom and act on the things that lead us forward. Being reversed tells us that we might not always trust our inner wisdom and don’t always act upon what it tells us. This card tells us that we need to do just that, to get were we want and to be able to reach our goals.

Summary:

Trusting our inner wisdom and connecting with our feminine side seems to be key this week. We all have our moods and cycles, just follow them. When we trust our intuition and take action accordingly, the universe will guide us right!

What are our desires?
What steps do we need to take?
