Package arrived.

Contain lots of poisonous kit inside ~

P1000341_resize
P1000342_resize

My wait paid off ~ poison ~ !!

P1000343_resize

Here's the content : 4x Unicorn's Gatling, 1x Sinanju's Bazooka, 2x crystal len crystal & a Gundoom ~

Yosha ~~ !

P1000344_resize

Before doing anything, I start to inspect the quality of the runner. Usually when you bought a bootleg kit there's always some thin excess on runner, but this, it's just great ~ +1

Now mah Unicorns shall receive full weaponry ~

P1000345_resize

It's time, may Sinanju also receive the same treatment of weaponry, twice powderful ~

& errr, red runner for bazooka ? LoLz.

P1000346_resize

A quick inspect, yup no thin excess anywhere to be found, maybe there is, but isn't big deal either hahah ~

Was open up the Gundoom box to see the manual book, it was the same as 1/100 or MG manual book size !

P1000347_resize

Phail Engrish. How ya "Cut it trimly" huh ? ^^"

P1000348_resize

Another Phail Engrish..its good that they mention pay more attention, but "to be packed toughtly" ? LoLz.

P1000349_resize

A good emoticon spotted the end of the manual book. ^^

& another of inspection onto Gundoom's runners.

P1000350_resize

Look at the PC parts. It's oddly clean, as if this was original PC parts from Bandai..O.O

Anyway, I'm very happy with this all poisonous kits ~ Although it's bootlegs, sucks to be original where your pockets is filled with roaches already..^^"

=)

BB Tenshiho Sazabi - Poke-a-pole

Well, slow progress though, but anyway, I figure out something I should did before, monoeye mods.

Well, Have seen alot of simple yet genius mod ever did on monoeye kind of BB kit. Some I seen could move freely, 360 degree via a wire & spring, some can only goes horizontal, which in my next mod to be done. Well, almost actually..^^"

P1000352_resize

"Argh me eye !! " ^^"

P1000353_resize

Nothing fancy actually. Kotobukiya option part ABS Unit B do the trick. Now waiting the putty to harden up so that I can start move it around to determine to length of the runner needed to be reduced. After that, a nice piece of crystal sticker for the eye ~ Gosh I'm thrilled now, just like MJ's Thriller. ^^

=)

Things I get for today.

No kits really hook me up, instead I just go get some paints, decal & another set of paint tray. =)

Yes, decal's aren't original, but hey, it's for Hrairoo ! There's no way I'ma stick that huge clear stickers !

P1000292_resize

Things I buy. Finally get a clear red paint. Sweet ~

P1000304_resize

Temporary operation table. =) Nothing beats a nice warm tea to drink ~

P1000299_resize

Gao Gao Model logo, orz... Anything else, it's the same with the clear stickers. ^^"

P1000300_resize

Once you get used cutting decals from Hobbies Corner or Sam's, can't really get off by it..^^"

P1000302_resize

A small drop of setter & softer, quite satisfy for a cheap decals, waterslide some more. >=D

Now, my Hrairoo shall revived again ~

=)

BB Tenshiho Sazabi - Bloody yeah ~

Ok, nobody dies if you guys wondering about the title. ^^"

Well, hand painting something depends on the mood as well if wanna do it right, smart & tidy. So before I do any hand painting;

P1000241_resize

You could need to prime it 1st. On the picture, I use Surfacer 500. Why? I just like how the primer flatten up nicely, unlike Surfacer 1000, which is kinda watery for my liking.

Anyway, let's proceed with the hand paint jobs.

P1000242_resize

1st layer for 'em. Picture is blur, pardon me, is still kinda pale red now. After few hours then 2nd layer is up before touching up with #9 Gold.

P1000244_resize

Some parts that are haven't primed yet. Still figure it out what color scheme should I use on chest plate, backpack, shoulders & foots.

P1000246_resize

There's still leftover "blood" on my paint tray. ^^" Yeah, don't waste it mah, still have few empty plates for other color.

=)

BB Tenshiho Sazabi - Let there be some joints !

Well, it's time I do my BB kits already to clear out my backlogs..^^"

So i start with this Bangau powered Sazabi..^^"

The project starts on around 10am+.

P1000217_resize

Out of the box & box art. I like how the color was on the box art.

P1000218_resize

3 runners. A1, A2 & B. The heck, 2 different red.. Bright Red & Maroon Red. Darn, this calls for Mr. Surfacer.

Anyway, this is just a quick mod & seam lines puttying..haha..^^"

P1000219_resize

Arm : The green box is the approx area need to be clear & filing 'em to make some space for the kotobukiya PC joint.

P1000220_resize

Finished knee joints. I didn't show any pic before the mod 'coz it's just too simple, by this picture already can tell how the mod was done. =)

P1000223_resize

Side view.

P1000224_resize

Rear view.

P1000225_resize

My working area. ^^"

Ok proceed.

From my past experiences in fixing a Sangokuden kit, the biggest challenge is to attain the roundness of the helmet when seam line removal. Although did tried some with cement & quite satisfying, using putty is another way I could try to preserve the helmet's shapes.

P1000226_resize

& brain storming begins on how to seperate the top fin & the helmet. The answer ?

P1000229_resize

Cut the connector on the top fin. Before proceed, I puttied the helmet 1st before super gluing the connector underneath the helmet. Problem solved.

P1000230_resize
P1000231_resize
P1000233_resize

Quick assembly on it will look like when it's done. I like it. The proportion is just nice ~

P1000234_resize

Regarding the Kotobukiya PC joints. This is the set I was using. Can try find it at this shop.

P1000237_resize

Before I putty the hollows on the upper thigh, I cut a short lengths of unused runners, superglue it, wait it harden, sand to flatten it up then pour some putty into it. Save more time. ^^

P1000238_resize

Final look at it before proceeding to the next step, refining & painting.

P1000239_resize

& times was 2.53pm on the last pic.

My fastest time ever in modding a Sangokuden kit, within 5 hours is nice enough !

=)

Updates this week.

Before any updates, take pic of my male siamese cat who always war cries in front my room every night...^^"

P1000207_resize

Ok, yesterday morning went to KK a while, so grab my camera & took some pic on top of Komplex Asia City building.

P1000187_resize

Did try zooming the mosque wbut the color turns out bad, so deleted. ^^"

Anyway, next is inside the building.

P1000191_resize

ATS a.k.a Animagetoyz. Hallways is this empty always. There's still no major attraction in this complex, even though it has indoor paintball & roller blades rings.

& my hoot of day;

P1000193_resize

Wee ~ Finally own my 1st GFF ~ Nobel & God ~ & a can of Tamiya Translucent Green. Weird thing is, Translucent Red expensive abit than other, by RM3...I wonder what makes it so special...

P1000195_resize

Pose a while & "Poof !", loose joints...Time to cement some of it to tighten 'em.

While waiting, took a random pic in my front yard.

P1000196_resize

So like, since I bought I never bother to play around with it, so now I present to you Drossel ~

P1000198_resize

Giving a cute pose ~

P1000199_resize
P1000200_resize

P1000201_resize

1/8s, ISO 400, f/4.5 - the actual lighting in my room. Quite dark eh ?

P1000202_resize

1/2s, ISO 200, f/4.5 - very delighted bright. I like this configure.

P1000204_resize

0.3125s, ISO320, f/4.5 - kinda hard to differentiate with the previous pic...

P1000205_resize

Drossel's eyes lights on when she's shy ~ ^^"

P1000206_resize

Shocked when I took her shy expression ~

She ran hide somewhere around this pic below.

P1000216_resize

That's all for today. Monday blues really struck my mood yesterday night haha...
