Is it really worth putting this up as a blog? YES IT IS...
So just an hour ago I finished a 4 hour stretch of work on the latest Yugioh 3D Model. SADLY ITS NOTHING SPECIAL, I'm pretty sure anyone who knows this kind of stuff can do it in a much shorter time. But the solution was much simpler than I had previously thought of, so in the End I was able to complete it with ease.
It took me a total of 3 tries over the file's lifetime. The first attempt took over several days because I did the line drawing manually in order to get that shape... this was because I had not gotten used to polygon editing, so I was still using the same methods I did when I drew Skull Servant.
The 2nd attempt was a start over from scratch disaster at using polygon editing, that the model actually would break into little bits here and there. I tried working with that model further but didn't make much progress. What that looked like you can see below in one of the images that shows 3 models.
The 3rd attempt worked like a charm. And it has helped me understand how to smooth my objects as well... when I say helped to understand, I mean I barely can understand it but at least I have a rough idea how to fix it.

Anyway, other than my thread on Janime, which shows only 2 Pics... to see some of the screenshots taken over the 4 hour period of this not so interesting model, you have to go visit the blog page I posted them on. Nope, my photobucket account only has 2 of the 10 images.

IN OTHER... um... news...?
I'm kind of sad that my friend left for Australia last week. He'll be back, but not soon enough. I had a new project, but since my own funds are low, I cannot build some of the props for it. The plan was for him to play a part in one of the episodes of this project since he was one of the key people at the time that "Burn of the..." took place.
But the project will go on as far as it can. I am determined to get this project completed even if it's extremely short and contains a very lame-too-quick-fast-but-not-so-interesting plot.

Well Enjoy.
