If there is one place I want to visit before I die. It also includes the Kuffingen Airport that I posted last year. My jaw dropped to China before I even got past the first minute. Seriously, just watch it.
When I started this hobby, I only had a vague idea of what I was getting into. I didn’t think about the hours that I would have to spend researching and working to develop building skills. I was also shortsighted by the amount money I had to invest in buying tools and supplies to experiment with. All I knew was that I wanted the awesome-looking finished product. Continue Reading
A few of you may remember the time when I started this blog, it was pretty plain and white with an ugly banner with half an Exia head in black, white, and blue. And you may notice that you see none of those traits here today.
One of the things that I never got a chance to talk about is my logo. It’s my signature, a personal mark, and the symbol of my motivation for this hobby. A pride and joy of sorts. And a reminder of the commitment to aim for higher standards. Continue Reading
Well, you don’t see this here very often–a non-mecha work! This was sort of a random project. I bought the figure back in October at the New York Comic Con.

For those of you that play halo, you should recognize those medals.
It’s that time of year again, the end of it. It didn’t even seem that long ago yet Christmas is just right around the corner. Model work has pretty much slowed down and I’m reorganizing my stash. My room has been pretty messy for the last few months. Not messy as in dirty, messy as in too much stuff for the given amount of space [I know exactly where everything is]. So I’m downsizing my collection by selling some stuff to raise money for a DSLR camera.
I’ve been meaning to get a better camera for a while, but new must-have models keep popping up on the web dooms any efforts to save for a better picture shooter. All the photos on this blog is shot by a point-and-shoot. It performs okay, but it really annoys me when I can’t capture the proper color of my work even after auto-adjustments in Photoshop. I often feel that photos can’t compare with seeing things in real life but I really hate that excuse.
For the picture above, I desaturated it a bit so Zero would stand out in front without being too distracted by the colors in the background. In the picture below, you can see how the color of my pens and markers throws the right side out of balance and the red of the kit and mouse pad is suppose to be darker. So anyway, those are some things that I want to improve in terms of quality here.
