It didn't turn out as i wanted but i was definately an improvement over the my last car kit.

Airfix cup has come to an end.

The Airfix cup has been held over the past weekend, and i'm kinda disappointed not to win anything. The entries there were simply better than mine and I have to keep improving in order to win someday.

Here are some pics to my entry:

Airfix Competition.

Its been a long time since I updated this blog. This is partly because of my packed schedule these days, started work immediately after my exams hence I could not find much time to do much modelling.

However, this year I decided to participate in the Airfix competition. This is the kit I planned to participate with. It was bought from one of the fellow members of PLAMO cheaply.

Astrea Update 4

A little update, sumarises the progress made the past few days. I'm sorry that the pics aren't as detailed as the last few. This is due to a few reasons.

1. I did them whenever I found extra free time, so not much planning as put into it, its kinda ad-hoc.
2. The stuff done these days are new to me too, not sure whether i was gonna succeed until I've finished it.

Will try to make to next few updates as detailed as possible.

Now I'm gonna create a tool that I've seen in use during ine of those Plamo Tsukurou vids.

I personally used 3mm thick pla-plates, but after that i found that they are too thick. Hence i recommend using thinner pla-plates.

And now you are ready to use it. Its really very simple and fun to use.

Able to create this sort of panel lines.
