August 5th, 2011 2 Comments
Apologies if I wasn’t able to update the blog recently. Was in Hong Kong this weekend and just came back a couple of days ago to attend to some official business. Anyways, while I was there, I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the 2011 Gunpla Builders World Cup exhibit at the 2011 Ani-Com expo event at the HK convention center.
Please enjoy some of the photos…

Planking is, according to Wikipedia is 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…

June 19th, 2011 No Comments
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…
Finished: 1/6 Scale Joker Vinyl Kit
June 6th, 2011 No Comments
Me and a group of friends recently had a “group buy” and ordered online for a BUNCH of vinyl model kits. I got a couple of Star Wars kits to complete my collection (Artoo and Threepio) while my other friends got their own stuff. One of them got a fine Joker vinyl kit and he asked me to model and paint it for him (since he doesn’t know how).
So, after 3 weeks of cutting, assembling and painting, the work is finally done.

Transformers The Movie Model Kits
May 3rd, 2011 1 Comment
As a model kit enthusiast and a Transformers fan, it’s great to know that TakaraTomy recently teased two Transformers Model Kits, Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime. The frames are fully made out of metal and they are all fully posable.
What could’ve been MORE AWESOME is if they also release model kits for the first gen Transformers (TV cartoon series).

How To Make A Toy or Model Kit Base Using An Old CD
April 23rd, 2011 4 Comments
Previously, in an old post, I told you guys how you could make a basic diorama-base for your action figure toys or model kits. In that tutorial, I used an old photo-frame as the base and added in “terrain”, which comprised of glue and sand.
This tutorial is roughly similar. But this time, we’ll be using an old CD plus other easy-to-find materials that you can most likely find in your home, garage or tool bin. If not, most of the materials cost pretty cheap in DIY or hardware stores.
Shall we begin?
Model Kits: Leia 1/6 Scale Vinyl Kit
April 16th, 2011 No Comments
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…
Completed: Darth Vader 12″ Vinyl Kit
March 20th, 2011 3 Comments
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.
