Resins, Figures, Rant, Anime and Photography
During the previous few days trip roaming in Malaysia. I got access into one of the plastic injection moulding maunfacturing center. Instead of PVC toys, they manufactured bottles, bowls, caps and such. Some of it have already made it to your house. What items is it, is classified information.
Most of the injection machines are classified as well, but I managed to snap some of them, especially those oil bottle and water bottle blowing machine.
Just saw from Danny Choo. One of the few nice cosplay girl around. Too bad her web can’t find misa misa. Here it is.
After much mental orgies, decided to drop the bomb. An SMS to the seller got my compressor delivered 2 hours later. All happen near to midnight. All was good except the hose adaptor was not the correct one and too much oil inside.
Therefore decide to do a strip down maintanance to pour out the excess oil.
Today everything start coming in. At first was the flexshaft and the keyless chunk. Went taken home to try on the China dremel. The whole thing start vibrating. There you have china made tools. Lucky it is cheap. Anyway the alignment is off and it broke one of my most expensive scrap bit. Then, I order a original dremel and the guy delivered to my block. Open my mailbox on the way back, padded envelope! My shipment from UK have arrived. 1 airbrush lube. Bought 2 paint from Comic mart and 1 2K blue.
Today went on a tooling up spree. Got a dremel, a flexshaft and a keyless chunk. Artfriend, I got some brass rod and some felts for testing. Went home to check mailbox. My airbrush lube from UK have came in also.
Went back to XM to shift everything back including my Haruhi. ^_^ Ala la lala la la la I spotted ASUKA! Was tempted but resisted. Maybe after I clear my backlog.
Hello there!
This morning happen to login and see that Wordpress got upgrade to 2.2. One thing bad, the new in built widgets screw up the K2 sidebar module. Gotta come up with another plugin to disable the inbuilt widgets.
And we are up and running.
*PS* Just taken a call to Hup Hong Machinery. Asked for a Silair 15A price. Holy shit it is $700.
On a unexpected visit to Nakamoto shop for his lengendary thinner, I asked him about gloss and matte coating. It seem for the normal gunpla modeler, trying to get a flat look and a gloss coat is a chore. Something that doent really bother a resin modeler; Flat just spray on a artist varnish, gloss just coat on a PU clear aka your car gloss with scratch resisitant and UV protection. ^^
However the steps with the gunpla way which normally people use is, 1 to 2 layer of gloss, sand and polish. Thats when I took notice of the "polish" which turns out to be Tamiya Polishing Compound. I got no idea what is that which later I found out was used for polishing. Works on every paint type.
One of the cliche that I encounter was to achieve a satin gloss. A pain in the ass surfacing. I dont want to spray another coat on the 2K black. Using gloss will have too much bling bling.
It works! Just the way I want, although a bit too way glossy. The polish was only rated FINE. I wonder what the tube rated FINISH will do. ^^ Can see my face on it I supposed.
For some reason, I notice my old gallery link have vanish into thin air.
Heres the link www.kitsunesuki.com/gallery/
Supposed to have a 3rd shoot but my photographer is taking his own sweet time to process 
My backlog is getting more and more. Haruhi is done and is kept at XM. Dont really have a chance to take a shoot of her. Nina is on the board progessing slowly. A lot of niche to be solve, mostly dealing with paint and coats. The next will be Kanu. Hee heee. Still my favourite is the Suiseiseki and Souseiseki.
Stil got one more kit coming in soon. Take a guess who?
