A very thick magazine XD

1/48 RX-78-2 Gundam The Original Head Model box cover.

It's only have 2 runners, painting job require.

I just highlight few of the contents about this magazine. Beam saber umbrella?

90% of this magazine are cover by gundam manga, here is the fighting scene Unicorn vs Kshatriya.

This caught my attention. Extra 1/144 Zaku weapons and MS Hangar. MS Hanger will be release on December 2011. 1st wave of Extra 1/144 Zaku weapons will be release on December too, 2nd wave fall on January 2012.

Lastly is the 7-Eleven exclusive Gunplas, available in Japan now. This time they added BearGuy as one of the exclusive gunpla as well.

Star Wars Loots from Singapore

During Singapore trip, i manage to get 1 Lego Star Wars Stormtrooper key chain. In my last few trip I didn't have the change to get one. I actually wanted to get the Lego Star Wars Magnet Stormtrooper, but it was out of stock.

At the same time, i also found this Takara Tomy A.R.T.S Star Wars x Touma.

My SD collection line-up.

Stormtrooper: "Anyone wants a ride?"

Kung Fu Books

Have you guys watch Kung Fu Hustle by Steven Chow? Remember the scene where an old man asked a kid to buy the Kung Fu book? Let me recap with some snapshots from the end of the movie:

The old man says to the kid, "Kid, you have the bone structure a kung-fu genius. World peace is in your hands. Here's the scroll of the Buddhist Palm."

The kid was not interested in that book so he showed some other books to the kid.

When i was at Singapore Chinatown, an old man spoke the same thing to me. So i trusted him, and i bought 5 Kung Fu Books. Left to right (hope i translated it correctly haha..)

"Lance Slight"

"Lonely Nine Swords"

"Turning bones into cotton fists?"

"Tathagata Buddha's Plam" *This is the book with exactly the same title as that from the Kung Fu Hustle movie.

"42 Page Scripts"

When i reached home and try to learn the first chapter, i noticed that the book was just blank pages?!

Please don't believe what i said just now, haha.. actually it is a note book with just the cover made to look like an old style kung fu book. I bought it as souvenir gifts for my colleagues. Edited by Sylvia.

Modeling Tools

These are some basic modeling tools of mine: nipper, cutter, tweezers, craft knife, modeling brush, masking tape, gundam markers, cotton buds, file set, tamiya thinner/cement Mm.. ignore the spoon and the comb.. just for fun haha..

Any one heard about Nomoken? it's a book about modeling, written by Nomoto Kenichi a.k.a. a modeling master. Book 1's content is more about modeling tools with some explanation about their uses. Book 2 focuses more on practical skills and how to apply them on vehicles, air planes and tanks. Overall, this author is good. I'm not sure whether there is a Book 3. (p/s: although I have read these books, I'm still at the beginner's level T_T)

Bought Book 2 first at Kinokuniya, Singapore for SGD$33.78. Actually they have Book 1 in stock, but it's the Japanese version.. the Chinese version only comes in the next shipment so i didn't buy. After a few months later, I spotted Book 1 at Chong Hock The Mall. I bought it then but I can't remember the price now. Err.. i think it might be BND$15..(Eric, please correct me if i'm wrong) i feel a bit cheated... sigh...
