Unbox the Fake BB Strike Gundam.

Let's begin!

Can you tell me which one is original?

Encounter a minor issue with this part, the hole not fit. After fine tune the hole, it's fit perfectly ;) just nice XD

Take almost 1.5 hours, finaly it's done. phew~

ok, next step i gonna put some colours. Will start on the shield.

sigh.. my cacat painting skill.. look urgry right.. anyone give me some advice?

Hm.. didn't really paint all the details, save the colour for the rest hahah...

At last.. after applying gundam marker, it's look gorgeous ;)
Kira Yokohama! Ikimas!

Now i can put Striker Weapon System individual.

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...
