For those of you not in the know, May 4 is the annual Star Wars day.

To celebrate the release of the first Star Wars Blu Ray collector’s set, the UK turned the BT Tower into the World’s Largest Lightsaber.
Planking is, according to Wikipedia isĀ is “an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game.” While a lot of people or orgs claim to have invented or “discovered” this popular phenomenon, here’s MY OWN TAKE on Planking…
Enjoy…

Wohooo! Long weekend. Time to catch up on my model kit projects. It’s easy to just buy action figures or statues and pop ‘em inside your display case at home or in the office. But to me, it becomes fulfilling when you do it yourself.
Anyways, this here is part of my haul of Star Wars 1:6 scale vinyl kits. I already finished Darth Vader, Han Solo and Princess Leia. Both R2-D2 and this one, C3P0 will go in simple diorama which will be a nice addition to my Star Wars collection…

The summer Holy Week holiday is fast approaching. For those not going out to hit the beaches or go swimming, I’m sure it’ll be really boring at home.
Why not try your hand at some crafting projects? You can start making “Admiral Sackbar” (from Star Wars) and enjoy it with your kids, little brothers/sisters or nephews.

About a month ago, I started work on the Princess Leia 1:6 vinyl model kit. I decided to do this project right after finishing the Darth Vader, also in vinyl. I guess I prolly learned a thing or two on that project so I can apply it to Leia. This is my first real, flesh/human model kit and one of my frustration is doing the eyes. I don’t believe I did a fine job with the eyes on this one but as they say “practice makes perfect”.
This Princess Leia isn’t as detailed as some of the kits I found on the web (for reference) but I guess it’ll do. Btw, this is part of our sci-fi haul and I’m doing my best to finish all the kits there so I can go back to Gundams and military models.
Some of the Work-In-Progress (WIP) photos and the final shots after the break…

What do you get if one replaces all the badminton racquets with lightsabers?
A cool, Force-filled sport. Video coming up…

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.

Here’s a dream home theater setup as a tribute to Star Wars. It looks like the inside of a ship complete with lifesize replicas of R2-D2 and C3PO.
More photos after the jump…
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…
