So I flew back to philly yesterday afternoon. As I said we didn’t get much done in the way of shooting, but we did manage to find a new live/work loft in downtown thanks to a few friends. We move in at the end of the month.
Just wanted to share that with everyone.

Hey all,
I have been in LA for the past few days, and so far it has been nothing but bad 
None of my shoots happened the way I wanted them to. Some not at all. I have been so busy with work I’m behind on a few orders. I haven’t even begun looking for a place here in LA, and Adrianne and I are set to return on the 4th!
I am going to have to get a move on if this trip is not going to be a complete waste of time and thousands of dollars!
On the other hand we have been spending a lot of time with our Friend Sara. She is such a blast to stay with.
Oh well, we will see how this all turns out. I’m sure it will be fine. This is just me being nervous, and pissed that my shoots went to hell!
Talk to you all the very next time I get amonet to sit down in front of the computer.

I am flying out to Hollywood on Friday with my fiance Adrianne Anderson. We are looking for a new loft in downtown LA or in Hollywood.
We both have a ton of things planned for the time we are there. I think we are gonna have to schedule sleep! lol. I like it like that though. I prefer busy as all hell to bored out of my mind any day of the week. I am also going to be setting up shipment on my turbo civic, and my jetta. They are both going to be coming back to my house in philly.
We are working on a new east coast shop at the moment. It should be fully operational within the next month, and then all of the sale items I spoke about will be unpacked and up for sale as promised.
I’m also as i said thinking about giving the paypal system another chance. Any input on that from you guys would be appreciated.I’m on the fence about it at the moment. I know they have no respect or regard for their customers over there at paypal which was the main reason I closed my account. I’m torn! anyway let me know what you guys think!
Gotta run. Talk to you soon!

Hello all,
First off, sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I have been up to my neck in custom orders. Not that I am upset by that or anything. I receive new requests daily for custom pieces. Sorry to say I cant even think about taking on any new custom orders until after July 6th. So if you have a project you want done, I am going to be unable to help. I receive about ten requests daily. I am not saying don’t message me. I am simply stating that there will be a bit of a delay if I can get your job on the calender.
I also have a bunch of movie gigs coming up this summer, as well as my own projects. I have the entire month of July to dedicate to my web custom orders from my sites, and then I have to get cracking on the other stuff. not to worry. My partners will be picking up my site work until I return. They are more then capable of handling anything that I can do. Hans is actually more skilled a few things. lol
Talk to you all soon!

P.S. I am erasing Mr. Australia from my life and websites. So I will be deleteing every post that had anything to do with that nightmare, and I am also considering going back to paypal as a checkout option. Not to worry I am going to keep the google checkout methods as well.
So as I’m sure I’ve said here before I am working on a futuristic Audi TT project. I am selling my 1997 BMW E36 M3 to help fund the financial strains from this project. Since it has the 1.8 turbo engine I have been looking for a sweet ass front mount intercooler for it.My buddy Daymond just happened to have the perfect one! A brand new Neupseed! It was ordered for a project as his shop, and they ordered the wrong size. So he swapped me for a modded nerf LS. This IC is actually worth in the area of 500.00 us. I really got lucky. I have been putting off buying it because it is so much money, and Daymond totally hooked me up!
I was at a gun show with my father last weekend, and I came across the FN2000 rifle.
of course I had to get it! my father bought it for me. He said it counts as a birthday and 2 Christmas gifts. I wanted it enough that it didnt matter. he could have said he wasn’t getting me anything else for the rest of my life and I would have been ok with it.
Its the most anime looking REAL gun I’ve ever seen!
I plan on making a resin mold of it and making a bunch of different variations of it and offering them to my clients as well as production companies. They are always looking for new pieces for films.
I’m yet to fire it, but there are very few ranges in this part of PA that will let you use a rifle like that.
Not to worry though. I will get a shot(forgive the pun) when I get back to AZ next month.
I also picked up a sig sauer p230 as a concealment piece. Its vary similar to the Walther ppk used by James bond. The only difference is that this is made in germany.

I think I may have also picked up a new partner. Not another artist to replace Carafax, but another craftsman. A very very skilled builder. its not set in stone, and I don’t want to jynx it, so I’m not going to say anything else just yet.
Ok, the new website is starting to look great! I should say websites! There are going to be 4 total. The countdown has begun. This site is only going to be the as it is right now for the next week or so, and then it is going to become just a portfolio site for me. Not to worry though. There will be a directory page that will take you to my various clothing and prop websites, and of course my site which is going to be for my die hard customers and fans. I think everyone is going to have s hot at this site though. What I’ve done is I’ve made custom dog tags with the new website URL, laser engraved on one side, and a customer number on the other. Loyal customers, as well as random orders will be receiving these dog tags. But there is a catch for those who receive it at random with their orders. it will only look like a dog dag with two bar codes on it. you will have to find a way to scan it to get the website, and the customer number. For my customers who are going to be receiving these not at random. they will have a choice of colors. They can choose between blue, silver, red, black, purple, and green. I think Variety is important. lol. I’m sure you are wondering why I am going through this amount of effort. The reasons are simple. A. I feel like it, and B. I just got a new laser engraver, and I need the practice. lol
Take care guys.

After seeing the new terminator film I am inspired to create some new nerf blasters based on the mini guns, and the pulse rifles. I am working on the blueprints for a mini gun at the moment, based off of the nerf Vulcan. Its going to be fun!
Well. i’m off. Gotta go finish a few pistols for a film.

As I know I’ve said in the past few posts. I have been working on new websites. Now I have a better idea as to what changes will be taking place over the next month with my site modifications. This site (Naijablue.com) will go back to be 100% dedicated to me as a model/actor, and my props will more then likely be going to Naijablueweaponsystems.com, and my wardrobe jewelry, and accessories will be going to bluereignclothing .com. I’ve been learning how to build my own websites with Adobe dreamweaver cs4. Thats what I’ve been up to for the past few weeks. A long running client of mine also gave me a really really great idea. As some of you know I have had a few rough patches over the past year. The majority of my long running clients stood by me. I am very big on rewarding loyalty. So i am in the process of building a site that is 100% dedicated to just that.
it will feature all of my goods. from clothing to nerf guns, to exclusive products made just for them, to steep discounts on custom jobs. Its Han’s & I’s way of saying thank you for believing in us, and the work. i just purchased the domain name today. For the moment it will remain a secret as to what the name of the domain is.
We are also finally getting the latex cosplay outfits off of the ground. I started Gantz male & female body suits, as well as the shoes, and the weapons. you can see examples below.
