RX-78-2 ver OYW by [elliottric]

Sorry for the long absence, i just got back to KL and was busy with my personal things. Hopefully everything is all sorted out now.

Although gunpla-ing is my main hobby, my progress is also quite slow. During the earlier years, when i was still a newbie, i would just snap them up and give them a coat of paint. Now, I've started to do modification and that takes more time and requires lots of idea. When your out of idea, you are in deep shit!!! everything will be stagnant.

On the other hand, i also need to balance out my personal life, work life, etc…so that's why my completed kits are not much as well. erm…i kinda made a decision that gunpla-ing will be made last in my prioritization list. [SHE] comes first, the rest are second, third, etc..and gunpla is last. sorry guys!!!

Hence, i decided to open up and other section in my blog called “Guest Modellers” where i will try to feature some of the works of my fellow friends.

OK, guess I've been typing way to much stuff liao…

Please enjoy the below work of elliottric from Zero G forum.

Its such a privilege to have him as a friend. Many of us actually owe him a lot, lending us his workshop with unlimited set of tools and agreeing to our adhoc request to buy his spare accessories. Thanks man!!!

Wonder if you win the competition, will you be rewarded with RM1 Million or an official “Datukship” awarded to you?

Anyway, GOOD LUCK BRO!!! Have a safe journey. Bon Voyage!!!!!

A [Corner] with a twist of [Supply]

Ever wonder why your built “Gundam Model Kit” right out from the box is totally way different from the one you see in the recent BAKUC 2008 Gundam Modelling Competition.

Well, its simple. Modification was done to it. Just like you see on the street, a Proton Waja has been modified to look like a Mitsubishi Evo.

Mecha Modification varies from:

• Custom Paint scheme
• Custom decals
• Add on parts from Kotobukiya
• metal parts
• Pla-plate (styrene sheets) for detailing or for Scratch Building additional parts
• joint modification for better articulation
• etc…

So WHERE do we buy all the accessories to buff up our mecha? You can try to scout the local Hobby/toy shops around Klang Valley. They do carry some of the items listed above and prices varies from one shop to another.

Instead of wasting your petrol on travelling to look for such shops, why not try to shop online?

Throw your mother old shoe!!!

I heard my mum laughing all the way from the computer room and decided to go and take a look.

To my amazed, she way playing some online game. I still remember there was the “Michael Jackson baby dangling game” when Jacko and his baby hit the news.

This time, would could have imagine that someone managed to attack the US President with the unimaginable weapon of all, a pair of stinko SHOE???

Bush was damn lucky not to get hit, not once but twice he managed to dodge it. Maybe the guy was a lousy thrower.

Well, maybe you can put yourself in the shoe of the thrower and start some shoe throwing session. (click on below link to enjoy the game)
