D.I.Y. "Satay" Clip

Due to limited tools resources in Brunei Darussalam, I gonna D.I.Y. "Satay" clip. Brought the wooden pinch from a Daiso shop.

Removing the star from the wooden pinch. If you notice on the early picture, I get 2 different size of wooden pinch.

Applying the wooden glue, wait for 15 minutes then it's done.

In this picture, you can see not all the parts I using the clip, some I'm using blu tack or just a stick to hold the parts.

Contents: Scenic Cement, Earth Undercoat, Foam, Medium Green Coarse Turf, Medium Green Clump-Foliage, Green Blend Blended Turf, Burnt Green Fine Turf, Earth Fine Turf, Soil Fine Turf and Yellow Grass Fine Turf.

Medium Green Clump-Foliage close-up look.

Medium Green Coarse Turf close-up look.

I guess I need some container and labeling, to keep all these turfs organized. Haha... looks like packets of weed.

Forest Grass Project Sheet RG5143 (31.8 x 36.2cm). Some instructions on how to make hills, create paved areas and scenery.

Here is another close-up look on the project sheet.

You can use it as a back drop for photo shooting.

So you got the idea? With these materials you can create your own scenery for WarHammer, Gundam, Train, Mask Rider or even Ultraman and others scenery =D

Found all these modelling materials at ArtFriend Singapore. ArtFriend is a shop that carries a complete range of Art, Graphic & Craft Materials and Stationery. If i have an extra luggage bag, i think I will grab all the material I need XD

What I bought is only sufficient materials to cover a small landscaping area. If you want to create a large landscape area, you need to buy extra materials. Besides selling kits, the shop also sells individually Trees, different types of Turf, Earth colors, Stone Mold, Putty, Cements, Rocks, Sands and etc..

Actually i bought 1 extra kit which I am selling for *B$40.00 for Learning kit - Landscaping LK954 and Forest Grass Project Sheet RG5143 (31.8 x 36.2cm) Anyone interested? Please leave a message(name and email, for Brunei only.) at the comment, not at the chat box. *B$40.00 includes a few dollers for my transportation fee hehe.. Considering how expensive shipment fees are, this is a small price to pay :D

Singapore Trip, Tools Restock

Phew~ After Singapore Trip, was busy on work, hundred of mail waiting me to check XD

Here you go, all brought from Singapore trip. I didn't buy HG or MG gundam at this trip, maybe didn't spotted the model i want.

Finally get all 5 Keroro set. Brought these at OG, got sale at that time so SGD$10 for two. Normal price are $13.95 each. If you purchase over $20, can get a free book call Kero-Pla Secret File.

Close up look for the price tag, 2 for $10.00 XD can you believe?

Let see what is inside the book, it's show some of the transformation for the Samurai Warrior series.

And it's come with some extra stickers too, cool~

Anyone heard Hasegawa Hobby Kits before? This is my first time saw this modeling kit, it's call Eggplane Series. Do some research, find out this Hasegawa Hobby Kits more concentrate on air plan. I guess those who play plane modeling will know this brand. Click here to view full list of Eggplane Series.

It's look so cute XD

See what is inside the box. Looks very simple to assemble but require glue to assemble the kit. Surprisingly they give decal, instead of giving sticker.

Lastly, my tools. Ok that's all for today. Cheers!

Tools Restock

Before i continue painting GP04, i decided to get some extra colours and thinner. 

My Tamiya paint collection. Got the most commonly used colours.

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...
