Been a fan of professional model maker and special effects artist, Steve Neill’s work. More so when he announced last October 2010 that he was going to build a 5.5 ft long Star Trek Enterprise from scratch in his blog. You can read the entire process of how he did it at his blog. Steve Neill is truly a master in the craft of scratch building and model making.

Just caught wind of this today, HobbyLink Japan announced a sale on option parts. Option parts are add-ons for your model kits that you can apply to give your own personal look even without awesome scratch building skills.

I had my father’s truck fixed a few months back because of an oil leak. Upon inspection it was found out that an oil seal was worn and causing the oil to leak from the vacuum pump part of the alternator. While the mechanic was working on that I suddenly had the idea of using the vacuum pump of the alternator to degass resin and the silicon rubber for casting after seeing how powerful the suction was.

Google Maps just announced that they are incorporating weather information into Google Maps. I just tried it out by looking up my area and found out that the weather is more or less the same (the temperature and weather condition). So what does this information have to do with this site?
