Completed: Darth Vader 12″ Vinyl Kit

Finally completed my Darth Vader 1/6 scale vinyl model kit. This took around 2 weeks to build, clean assemble and paint. The challenge with this project was that there were around 3 to 4 “variants” of black that was used for the kit; flat black, semi-gloss, and gloss.

Super Moon Photos

Went out around 1:45am today to catch a glimpse of the Super Moon, towed my DSLR, tripod, the works.

Too bad it was damn cloudy outside. I tried to get shots when the moon would glimpse through the clouds. Here’s the best I can do.

Photography: Stormtroopers

Photobucket

Blog is backkkk! After some time to pause for the migration…

Apologies for not posting often due to that. Anyways, let’s get the ball rolling with these casual and wacky shots of my new Star Wars stormtrooper action figs which arrived via Ebay recently.

There are a lot of fun, wild photos of stormtroopers online; there’s one in Facebook and a couple in Flickr too here and here.

At any rate, do check out my photos after the break. Don’t forget to share…

Check out more of the pics after the break. I promise to upload my Work-In-Progress (W.I.P.) photos and notes soon.

Time Traveler Caught On Camera?

Take a look at the photo above. This was taken in 1940 during the Reopening of the South Fork Bridge in the US of A.

Do you spot the suspicious time-traveling man? He appears to be wearing modern shades, a printed shirt and is holding what appears to be DSLR? No, this image was not photoshopped and appears in the Bralone Museum.

The Adventures of The Tiangge Raider

Photobucket

Found some interesting photos on Facebook by Level Up colleague, Iggy Javellana.

Seems like the dude’s having fun raiding Tiangges across the metro. Aside from great buys, you’ll never know what you’ll find in these bazaars!

Great work, Iggy. More of his photos after the jump…

Photography: The Moon and Eclipses

One of the many surprises of my photography hobby was taking this picture of the moon (above). Although a lot claimed it to be their own, I still have friends and supporters who rallied for that. Thanks so much.

Anyways, I’m gonna share with you some tips from Digital Photography School on how to photograph the moon with your DSLR.

Let’s go…

ThinkTank Sling-O-Matic Camera Bag

I currently have an old sling bag for my DSLR. But a couple of months and some lens purchases and I think I need to upgrade the bag.

Here’s a great sling bag from ThinkTank. What’s great about this bag is that you can reverse the shoulder strap. My old sling bag can only be used on the left shoulder. Often, when I use my right shoulder, it slips and tends to slide. Check out more photos and a video review from a pro after the break.

Pending Model Kit Projects

After my great online shopping spree of sci-fi kits and figures, I still have a lot of pending model kit projects. My last fully completed model kit was the AT-ST with the simple base.

Almost all of my pending kits are around 80% to 90% done. Most of them just have to be finally assembled or mounted on their corresponding dioramas. There’s been a LOT of stuff going on at work… so I had to shelf them for a bit.

Now that LIVE 2010 is done, I think I finally have time to go back to the hobby.
