A new start

I have being blogging for more than a decade now. But slowed down considerably in recent years. Why? Because of Facebook. They have make it easily to share content via many platforms and gadgets. So it's kinda hard to get back to blogging.  For the past few months, I have been trying this free platform, WIX. It is good for idiots like me who can't code, design websites. After many trials and errors, I managed to cook up something decent...

This hobby.... is it for you?

This is an interesting article. I don't really trust online researches these days but having a hobby does make one happier. And I'm not just referring to Gunpla. It could be anything you like to do. It just has to be something you enjoy doing and derive satisfaction from it. You don't even have to be good at it as long as you spend quality time. Coming back to this hobby, yeah it's a lot of fun. I have been doing the same thing for over a decade...

One of the perks of being a modeler is being able to visit exhibitions, competitions and numerous events related to Gunpal and toys. And this is one of them. As Hobby Art gang was invited to showcase their range of E7 Model Paint at the event, I asked to tag along for the show.  ...

Dreaming the impossible dream

"I dare to dream." This is by far my most ambitious project.   Since Hobby Art Gallery (HAG) will be having her long awaited Tetsujin competition in 2017,  I thought this will be a good opportunity to show everyone the prowess of HAG's resident modeler!  Me!   So I gave myself this ridiculous challenge.   Six months...  Six months to remodel and recreate the Deepstriker in my vision.  Six months to...

The art of scribing lines and making notches

Before I start, a disclaimer of sorts. I just want to stress that I am no expert in scribing and detailing. But I do have a certain level of proficiency that is good enough for me to get by. The tools and methods I mentioned below are derived from practice and experience I accumulated over the years. So it might not work for others.  When I started out in 2002-2004, scribing panel lines was unheard of. The first person who mentioned it...

GBWC Singapore 2016 - My views.

GBWC is early for Singaporeans this year. And it caught many off-guard. Although it was announced that it will happen in June since January this year, many folks are just not used to GBWC this part of the year. It will need some getting used to. We are like one of the earliest countries to kick off this competition. And this shows in the pathetic turn-out this round. A miserly 60 plus entries across all categories. I can't...

PG Perfect Strike by Toymaker

After two long years, that PG Strike is finally done. It has been a long journey. Full of ups and downs. There were times I almost threw in the towel as I was simply too tired to carry on with this project. Technically, it was a very challenging project. And it was pretty taxing on my mental state as well. But I walked away with valuable experience.  It is not my most "Perfect" Perfect Strike. But it will do for now as I continue to work...

My home, my Singapore

Singapore is celebrating its 50 years of independence this year. And I must say I have never been more proud of being a Singaporean than this day. What I have today I have to thank my pioneers, who worked hard to make Singapore what it is today. We are enjoying their fruits of labour now. My children will never understand the instability, uncertainty and even chaos in old days. Neither will I! I was born in 1978. And I have to say my generation...

Iron-Blooded Orphans [G-Tekketsu]

I have not seen so much hype and excitement over a new Gundam series for a long time. So this came as a surprise to me as well. I don't have much information yet but this looks really promising. I'm digging the design of the new mech although I can't put a "Gundam" to it. Well, I guess it's a matter of accepting that Gundam designs has to evolve somehow.   Looking forward to the actual product release for me!  Airing October 4th, 2015 on TBS/MBS' Sunday 5pm slot - Directed by Tatsuyuki Nagai - Written by Mari Okada - The...
