Misc

I am soooooo watching this… I liked the new way Tony Stark puts on the Iron Man suit… the original method looked like it was skimmed off of the Starcraft 2 trailer but was equally cool-looking as well. According to the trailer the movie is going to be shown on May 7.

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Vol. 1 Blue Ray DVD

I’m really out of the loop when it comes to the Gundam Unicorn OVA that is coming out this year. So was surprised to find out that Volume 1 of the DVD is available on March 12 this month on a world wide release schedule. This means that it will already have English version in it.

Wonder if this will work?

Wonder if this will work? DIY Airbrush Compressor from Tire Compressor

Found an old Portable Tire compressor of my Dad’s in his stuff. I tested it in the car lighter jack and found that it still worked. The electric motor that is, haven’t tried it out on a car tire yet because I was wary of the air pressure.

Hexacopter: 6 Bladed Helicopter

Hexacopter: 6 Bladed Helicopter

This has been making the rounds lately and I too am impressed. The great thing about the Hexacopter is that its homemade, uses 6 brushless electric motors and as seen on the video can easily carry a 1kg /1 li bottle of Coke. Oh, and of course it has GPS tracking and can easily carry a camera payload.

Found this accidentally again at Youtube. You sir, would make one excellent mecha pilot… what with the awesome hand-to-eye coordination and spatial awareness. That’s a “Newtype” if I ever saw one.

Master Modeler: Creating the Tamiya StyleAfter reading a snippet of this at Google Books, I got hooked. Its basically about the founding of the Tamiya model kit factory that is considered by many as one of the most successful model kit companies in the world today. I remember that Tamiya kits were the Holy Grail for me when I was a boy, they were expensive but you could be sure of the quality. Not to mention that when you talked about model paints, Tamiya was the only one available… hehehe

Yep, I’m definitely a sucker for success stories. It used to be when I was in a local bookstore I would always go for the war books, as I grew older I became more interested in the lives of successful self made individuals. Oh and I’m not talking about movie stars, there’s a ton of that in the bookstore *snicker*.
