Man, ain't that the truth! I wish I could go back in time 25 yrs ago when I was 18 and ask my great grandma dozens of questions about coming over from Sicily in 1913 and living here and raising a family of 7 in a tiny 2-bedroom house in KC, Missouri. Plus a ton of stuff about the family that nobody is sure of today. Not to mention all the cool stuff she probably saw over the years. Wish my grandfather and dad had both still been around when I was older than 15 too.
I guess this is why people keep daily journals, huh? lol Well, wtf is it then? Details!

You'd love if everyone would keep a journal, but imagine all the minutia you'd have to sort through to get to the history! Still, all that minutia is part of the stuff that's lost. Like, I have countless memories of little moments I don't share with anyone, they live solely in my mind. A sunrise over a mountain pass in Prince George, BC; a sunset behind a bluff somewhere in SE Utah or SW Colorado; a crazy fucker trying to stick me up at a gas station in Gallup, NM...shit like that. All that dies with me. That's just weird when you think about it.

I was once accosted in a Blockbuster Video parking lot by World Series champion pitcher, David Wells. Apparently, I bore a resemblance to a man who had robbed him when he was out with his kid. He asked me to remove my hat and after I did, he explained what happened and knew I wasn't the guy, because that dude was bald and I had hair. We ended up talking in the parking lot for about an hour. Nice dude.
I thought that was your pinky.

Consider this an early Christmas gift from dear ole Fred. Giles Gifford, (from the GI JOE Elite Facebook group,) did a damn good 1:12 custom of Zandar.
All my joe customs on instagram @ https://instagram.com/yojoearah?igshid=fksxoksxqgii My next Dreadnok custom is Zandar. As with the other cobras I have done these customs are meant to look like an official release and less stylized than I have been doing with the joes. He is fully playable with paint rub eliminated through heavy joint prep and multiple sealers (2 coats of brushed on folk art matte acrylic sealer followed by army painter Matte varnish) The head sculpt was from https://instagram.com/gnomes_paintsh...d=YmMyMTA2M2Y= , the front of the bandana was sculpted and the back was from ML punisher bandana with sone additional sculpting. For the neck, torso arms and waist I used Classified Zartan, removed the forearm guards and sculpted in the gap. The legs were from Classified Croc Master shaving down the knee pads to get more of a pant look to the figure and the boots from Classified Destro. For the gear I started with the backpack from https://instagram.com/gridiron_studi...d=YmMyMTA2M2Y= (kit comes with the crossbow and arrow). I attached this to the shoulder holster rig from https://instagram.com/onepercase?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= , removing the right holster and replacing it with an ammo clip pouch from DC commissioner Gordon. The shoulder pads were from DC Hawkman though the zartan shoulder pads would have worked just as well. To be able to attach the rifle or the crossbow to the pack I shaved off the knob attachment from spirits backpack and attached it. The neck bandana was taken from a fortnight figure Jonsey. The knife and holster were from commando snake eyes. The axe from Valaverse Kerak. The rifle and clips were from Ally Viper and the ammo pouch for the extra clip on the belt were taken and modified from a Valaverse vest. I can?t remember where the pistol came from but any would do. I wanted to to use the Glock as I liked the look of it. For the skin color change effect I used photochromic powder and mixed it with contrast medium (same as I did for zartan) it can be found on Amazon searching for photochromic pigment. Painting the flesh to match the zartan skin tone was a bit tricky, I used a 50/50 mix of army painter barbarian flesh and banshee brown. Special thanks to https://instagram.com/geospiegs?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= for help on the lighting and sound seen on the video. As always thank you for checking out my toy and please feel free to reach out with any questions.

I keep hearing this in Zarana reviews, but was Zarana based on Wendy O. from the Plasmatics?
Aside from the fact she looks like she did copius amounts of powder and crank Wendy was a sexy lil broad, (in a dirty girl kinda way,)

Can't confirm. The only place I've seen that mentioned is on Wikipedia, but there's no citation and Wikipedia even has the [citation needed] message next to it.
