Life As A Soul Calibur Model 26
Tim Grube writes "Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a model at E3? The process is long and very tiring. Just think, what if you had to prepare to be a character from a videogame on stage that involves a sword fight.

Ilram wrote a diary on the days leading up to E3."
