Amiami 50% off on SAL and EMS Shipping extended till March

Thanks to DW Chun for pointing this out to me. Amiami’s 50% off promo on SAL and EMS shipping for International customers has been extended till March 2010. It was supposed to last till the end of February only.

Decided on continuing the Gundam Dynames build over the others. I guess I’m such a sucker for continuity *snicker*

1/100 Gundam Dynames

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.

How to Use Mr. Mark Setter

How to Use Mr. Mark Setter of GSI Creos Mr. Hobby Line of Decal Softeners

Watching Plamo Tsukuro (building model kits) in Youtube got me curious as to the Mr. Mark Setter used by one of the promodelers when applying decals to the model kit. Looking at its product page at Mr. Hobby, I found out that it, along with Mr. Mark Softer is a line of decal softening solvents.

How to remove paint seepage errors

How to remove paint seepage errors

Being a newbie to 21st Century painting techniques, I used to think that by using Tamiya Masking tape alone one could hope to avoid the paint from seeping through the masking tape during spraying. After watching this episode of Plamo Tsukuro (Building Plastic Models), I found out that even the pro’s suffer from that same mistake. Nice to find out too that there is a method for fixing this problem. There is a funny part in this exchange, wherein after explaining to the cameraman the problem of paint seepage that happened to the kit, the cameraman tells him “can’t we just leave it as is?”… hehehe

Who’s got next?

Unbuilt Gundam Kits

To quote my ex-boss, “It’s a wonderful problem to have”. Well this is one of those type of decisions that I love to make… specifically which Gundam kit to build next. I already started with the 1/100 Gundam Dynames a while back then put a stop to that to build the Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L (which I just recently finished).
