As a result, it took me a few weeks to get this kit done. This is the first kit that I decided to do puttying and sanding. I also tried the silver-clear colour technique to

Since flickr only allows 200 photos to be displayed in your free account, I decided to post them up before they disappear from the list.

Name: SD Perfect Gundam Series: Ganso SD Gundam Number: 11 (Hong Kong release) Released Year: 1996 Finished: March 2008 This is my first gundam kit, bought when I was like 14-15 years old (I think). I assembled it with no tools (knife or cutter) and didn't even do the panel lines. After it was abandoned in my cupboard for a few years, I got to do the panel lines using a fine-tip permanent

I've been attacked by the SD Gundam craze and have been buying boxes and boxes of SD Gundam kits (by BANDAI of course). I remember buying an SD Gundam kit about 10 years ago- it was actually my first Gundam kit. It's been in my house all these years, untouched, but then I decided to bring it out and have it painted since I have an airbrush available. I finished it two days ago and the SD Gundam

Another childhood hero of mine is Ultraman. Haven't watched any of the newer Ultraman series though. I guess it's a similar reason to why I don't like the later Kamen Riders. Anyway, there've been this legal battle for about 10 years between a Thai company (Chaiyo) and the original Japanese company (Tsuburaya) on the licensing rights of Ultraman outside of Japan. It's an interesting case for

Here is my 'workshop' for painting my models. In the first picture, you can see my airbrush and my home-made spray booth. The whole idea of the spray booth was to prevent getting these micro-dots of paint everywhere (my lungs included). I only use acrylic paint (Tamiya and Gunze Aqueous Colors) so won't have to worry too much about solvent poisoning. The booth consists of a rotary exhaust fan,

Just realised that this is the 101st post! Despite the extremely irregular posting frequency, I've managed to come this far; so not bad, I guess. The past month, I've been busy collecting these Kamen/Masked Rider mini-masks. The Kamen Rider Mask Collection by Bandai has been released for many years now (I think volume 1 was released in 2005 or 2006) and is currently on its 4th volume. It would

It's been ages since my last post and I've basically forgotten basic html. So much has happened since last August: I've moved to a new place, tank craze, Star Wars craze, and, lately, Kamen Rider craze. My new room is much much nicer but it's about 75% the size of the old one. As a result, have no space for large display cupboards, which means, less room to display anime figures and other

Haven't been posting lately coz been busy with my new toy! This is a huge remote control tank which is an upgrade of the previous one. It was hard to find and I looked all over for it. The paint work and details are much more realistic than the 1/24 one. It's a 1/16 sound and smoke Tiger I (the Tiger I is one of the famous tanks in WWII) tank by Heng Long; it has a speaker which gives realistic

I've always been fascinated by tanks, fighter jets, and battleships and I've made many plastic models when I was much younger. Anyway, this month, my interest was sparked-off again by the really realistic-looking Forces of Valor tanks at the toy sale. I bought two 1:32 scale tanks both from the wintery Ardennes campaign: the German Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. G and the American M4A3 Sherman. The

I found this another guy who got the dreaded odex letter, http://milktm.blogspot.com/.

Got this lovely girl as a birthday gift from one of my friends! She doesn't know anything about anime but she knew that I'm a figurines collector. She bought this particular one coz she thought it was the cutest one. I recognised the 'D.C.' on the box- it stands for Da Capo, an eroge and also an anime. Other than that I had no clue so had to search online. Anyway, her name is Nemu Asakura, and

I've been waiting for 1/6 Sonsaku Hakufu Gym Version by Griffon to be released for so long. She was finally released last night (according tp the HLJ website which, I find, is quite accurate). I've pre-ordered her so I wonder when she's going to arrive at the shop. The pictures of Sonsaku were taken a while back from Moeyo. See also: Sonsaku Hakufu Ikkitousen by Griffon Preview.

Went to the toys sale in town yesterday and these are what I got! I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy 7 so I got myself High Wind and Sister Ray from the Final Fantasy Mechanical Arts. The usual price for these are too high for my funding so didn't bother getting them before. Too bad they didn't have Fenrir (Cloud's bike) or Kadaj's motorcycle from Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children.

Wow wow wow! this is so cool! Came back home this evening from the lab and found this lovely figure in my living room. My flat-mate got this figure for me coz he saw it at a toys sale in town for dirt cheap (SGD 15.00 for a 1/7 PVC!). Might be going to the sale tomorrow to see what other things they have there. I've seen this 1/7 Yamato SIF EX figure before on the web but didn't take too much

I've been distracted from work for the past few days by Odex and how they're issuing these letters, legally threatening people who have been downloading fansubs. (For those not living in Singapore here is some info on Odex from wikipedia). The whole Odex incident is very interesting and so it deserves an entry in Sector 6 Slum Junk Shop.

This is one of the few gunplas I have in my possession. Before I started to collect gashapons and PVC figures, I was quite interested in these gundam plastic models by Bandai. But I was still a kid and couldn't spend much money, so I only bought 3-4 of them. I can't remember how long ago when I bought this HG, but definitely more than 4 years back. With limited funding, I got a few bottles of

The 1/6 PVC Kanu Unchou by Griffon which I bought a few weeks ago was actually released earlier as a resin figure last year, I think. I wrongly said that it was a 1/7 but the box says 1/6. She's pretty small for a 1/6 though. I couldn't find much info on it (well, partly because I don't read Japanese) but found the following set of photos from here.
