Today is a new beginning. TODAY IS THE DAY WE LAUNCH "PROJECT AI"!!!! (Ai as in Love in Mandarin....)

After a disappointing dinner on the first day of Chinese New Year, a few of my cousins and I decided it is time for the new generation to take over. As of today, we will officially take charge of CNY 2010!!! We will source out resources and share notes and receipts meet up every month and gather what we have..... Gosh so exciting, I really can't wait to get started, WOOHOOO!!!!=)

Opera


Boy I hate that word...... No, not Opera as in Chinese opera or Operas you go watch @ Esplanade, Opera as in the stupid computer system that my work place is running on.



Here is what it shows you on the main page:" Seamless, Intuitive, wireless, versatile, superior"

One word sums up all of the above plus the Opera system itself.... RUBBISH!!!!!



I have seen the crappest systems in my time, but nothing and I MEAN NOTHING beats what I'm experiencing as I type this.... I'm load a page to go into my guest folio, 20mins have pass and the bloody thing is STILL LOADING!!!!What if the gst is checking out, siao liao la...... Tell my manager, she say system just reseted so lag a bit... A BIT?!?!?!

Oooops I spoke too soon.... Guest check out, system STILL LOADING!!! End up he unhappily fills up an express checkout form and leaves in a huff.... Excellent service.... my ass.... Oh boy, lucky the guest are understanding enough..... WTF?!?!?!?!?=(

I HATE OPERA!!!!

Bored....

Haiz.... Very sian.... Tomorrow must go back to work again.... Work work work..... CNY also must work..... I "love" my F*(*&&^^&^^*&*&*)&ing job..... Oh well.... better chiong more plastic first!!! HUAT AH!!!!

Nu Gundam

Hi all, back with a small update.... On leave a few days, so can chiong a bit of plastic=)

Ok, the other day Link was asking about the adding on of the extra pla plates to the skirt, so today I'll show how it's done.... Nothing much really, but just share share so everyone can learn learn...

So first you select the area you wanna place the detail..... In this case the lower area of my Nu's KKJ area..... ( I'm sure you know what KKJ is....O.o)

So you cut pla plate to desired shape and cement it. Please note to cut pla plate BIGGER than the actual surface area... Next you sand off the excess til it alights with the kit

Before

After

Ok now the take the next pla plate and place it on the other side that will form the erm.... full detail? Once again pla plate should be bigger than actual surface area. This time though you sand till it alighs the first pla plate you cemented earlier!!!



Now if you added enough cement earlier on it would have melted the 2 pla plates together to a point no seamline can be noticed, so spray surfacer to make sure.As seen here I used super glue+baby powder combo to seal the line.... Sand off and check again to make sure and Vola detail UPPPPP!!!

Here is the front KKJ area and back A$$hole and skirt area done up..... Phew, Burning out liao...... HELLLPPPPP!!!!!

KKJ

A$$hole

Hope you guys like it, on to legs......

Updated: Nu Gundam

Sorry for the lack of updates, job is taking a toll on me.... Anyways a small little update of what can manage to do so far.....

Made lobang of Koto thrusters on the frontal skirts


I added some pla plates and scribed simple panel lines on the frontal skirts as well.... Painful experience....



Also managed to lengthen the side skirts..... They were waaaaaaaay too short liao.....

Before:

And after:

Also a new look to the head..... I'm quite ok with it......



This is what I have so far......How tooooo finish by month's end??? ICT coming soon too...... Must chiong a bit more this weekend!!!! Thanks for viewing!!!=)

Happy new year everyone!!! Starting off the new year with updates on the progress of Nu Gundam!!

Finished with the head already, it is on to the chest area. Detailed the collar area with pla plate and also some wave and kotobukiya parts. and also not forgetting the chest area. Once again pla plates were used.


A look at the new chest and head together.=)



Also detailed up the front of the chest with koto parts along with pla plates... Phew.... And a few panel lines added with the help of my trusty needle and pin vice.=)

Primed!

Well that's all for now, onto the skirt area. My target for this kit is end of January, hope can meet the deadline, so I can start on something else. Not too good to get stuck on one kit. It is the formula to Burnout.

Well, 2009 is here, so may everyone have a good year ahead in terms of modeling and in everyday life=) CHEERS!!! \('0')/

HGUC 1/144 NU GUNDAM
Alrighty, after all that 1/144 airshow madness, it is time again for a little Gunpla action. So what better way to kick it off than with a 1/144 Nu Gundam!!! Seems like CCA has hit Plamo with several of the newly engineered HGUC kits being built up. Not trying to compete with Eday or Erix but this is the only CCA kit I have so far.....

Ok so, above is a build up of the kit. I must say, the money we invested in Bandai really paid off. With practically ZERO seamline except for the usual weapons, this kit is worth every penny. It looks good OOB, but the plain-ness let's your imagination run wild with ideas!=)

So let's start with the head. Drilled holes throught the head vulcans and inserted these little guys in.

Can you see the results?? No very clear huh?? Next time ok??

Next of course is to sharpen 'V' fins, ouch my fingers....

Something not very necessary, but I did a neck extension using 1mm plapate.

I also found Nu's head too, er..... flat? So decided to lenghten is with good old eproxy putty and.....

Polyster putty and.....

Normal putty.....

Well, that's all for now, will update as soon as I finish more parts, so please stay tune!!!=)

More tales to share..... Typing this as I'm working midnight shift

So X'mas is here, hotel is packed with KIDS!!!!! not small children but teens, who don't think they are teens.... Turn the bloody music on so high, drink and drink and drink, smoke and smoke and smoke, drunk liao cry ah, laugh ah, VOMIT ah!!!

Then this couple came, not hotel guests. Locked themselves up in Handicap toilet and make out...... Cleaner came to me for help coz he wants to clean the toilet. In the end, knock on the door to give them a surprise. So after like for eternity, they came out...The lady came out 2nd and guess what she said..... "Toilet no more soap...." Huh?? You got me there lady..... HELLO, already in the bloody hotel, get a Bloody room la, then I give u and your Bloody boyfriend all the bloody soap you Bloody want!!!!!!! KNNBCCB.....
I tell you Singapore youngsters these days.....

Sorry ah, need to keep myself awake in this lonely Christmas....I "love" my F^$^$^%%*&^(*(*^&^%^(%^King job and my F&^%&^%&^%^*%^%*%^%*%*%*King guests.....:em56::em56:

Phew, finally gotten my Seahawks done and uploaded!!!@_@ One painful week to finish, but I guess the most valuable lesson for this build was decal ling. Always been afraid to do extreme ones, but this was a major step forward. Anyways, please enjoy the pictures!!!












A lot of people asked me whether I painted the Tiger and the blue bird (Lan Jiao......), sad to say no I didn't cause if I did and could I'll be rich, haha..... Till next time!!!

P.S Almost forgotten, my kits were featured in Spruecutters, special thanks to Mr. Viper1972. Felt like a major accomplisment for me.....=)

Well, been building this Seahawk for a while for the upcoming Plamo Groupbuild....

The kit is from Dragon.... It is both a hit and a miss.... Beautiful details but instructions could have been a lot better.... Oh well what can one expect from a $12.90 kit ya??

The great box art that seduced me....


Then the great Catograph decals....Yummy...


Sadly the nightmare begins with lousy instructions....

A4o?

I don't think so....


Then there is the filling of seams...


And the masking.......


One down, one more to go.....


Hope to finish this by the end of the week.... Stay tune for more!!!

A new year is almost upon us, and I look back this past year and wonder to myself, "What have I achieves in terms of modeling...." just a consolation prize back in early 08 during the Airfix cup.... And that was pretty much it.....

Almost everyday, I look around me trying to gain inspiration from everywhere, but sadly to no great results what so ever..... What is it that I'm lacking to make it big? Skill? knowledge? Patience? Or is it simply that I just do not have what it takes to make it there, to be standing on the same stage as the greats like Eday, Izakku or Erix.... Heck I don't even have the chance to meet these greats....

Come 2009, I really hope to make an impact in the modeling scene. To do some finished works so amazing, no one can fault it. I hope form of motivation, or maybe even obsession, can drive me to reach my goals or at the very least place me up there somewhere with the big player....

At this time only time will tell.... Only time will tell.....

Well, finally gotten my blog going, so please stay tune for future updates!!!!!
