Modelling Withdrawal Symptoms

Must resist.... End coming soon...

Update on 144 astray

Its been a long time since I've touched this kit. Today finally gathered sufficient resolve to try and complete this by January.

Reconstruct the details again using pla-plate. This is due to the seam line running across the middle which results in details being sanded off when gluing.

The parts looks kinda not proportionate, gonna have to correct it.

Filled up the holes and sharpened the end. I gotta say that i'm a sucker for sharp ends.

Last Photoshoot of the year

I regret to inform everyone that Advance Hazel, GT40 and Zaku III would probably be the last kit for this year or for many years to come. This is because I would be starting my University studies soon, and hence I may not have to time to build any more. I will try to find time to build during my holidays but nothing is guaranteed.

I am very sad that I'll have to stop modelling for a while but on the brighter side it might cure the huge burnout I'm experiencing these months. This blog will stay on, either as a place for me to rant my Uni likfe or for me to post more works whem I've the time to.

So till then, everyone take care and god bless.

GT40 Mk.II

After doing this car I've totally gotten hooked on Car modelling!! I've learnt so much about making it shine my watching videos, reading tips on Plamo and ZeroG and through my own experimenting. I've always thought that by uding tamiya's fine compund it would turn up really shiny. Then i realised that wax is required to achieve such a shine.

Here are the pics:

Zaku III Ver.Zero

I've finally completed this for Plamo's WOOB 3. I must say that it was really a rush job the past few weeks, due to studies' admin problem and other commitments. However, I've managed to complete it before school starts. Initially I tried using Digital Camo on the grey areas and paint the small pla plates red. I turned out to be horrible!!! The kit looks like its got Red Spots all over. So in the end i had to do it all over again. This is the final product, not very satisfied since it was a kit to test all the things I've learned and the paint job was done as simple as possible to make it on time. Anyway here it is.

1/144 Advanced Hazel

There is nothing much to elaborate about this build. This kit has already been built for the past 2 years, decided that it was a lousy job i redid it. Basically OOB, clean colour scheme without shading. The decals came from Samuel decal.

There isn't much photos, this is because I didn't haf the time to buy a base for it. Eventually there will be more photos when I've built the base.
