The Feather "Pro" AkA normal ABBC

The Feather "Pro" AkA ABBC feather light

It is made up of black and white foam stuck together with the 2 inch flipable panel. Group use the normal ABBC, portraits flip the panel back.

Along the way, I discover some good improvement. The black backing prevent light from spilling backward therefore focusing all the light to the front. The white foam is not completely light proof. 2nd, its black and it look pro. At least to me. 3rd, with 2 foam combined, a degree of rigidness is present. This allow you to adjust the angle of attack to a certain degree when you slap it down. Want it back to normal, just squeeze it back to the up position.

How to make one

The idea is straight forward. 1 black foam and 1 white foam. The white foam cut into 3 parts with the 2 inch center. Cut the black foam a litter wider to accommodate the white foam so it will not out of shape when it bend.

When sticking the white foam on to the black foam, leave a extra leeway for the center panel and not paste it exactly flush together on top. This is to prevent having trouble fitting it back from feather mode because it is too tight. Best to go form the ABBC around the flash head and get the measurement.

What glue to use, I personally use white glue. It sticks and when you smudge, it dries clear so it won’t affect the card performance.

Flipping anchor point. You can use whatever that suits but I punched a hole and used cable tie. Adjust the cable tie until you can flip the panel with no issue and when in portrait mode it wont dangle.

White and black foam all can be gotten from Arts Friends. Velcro from Daiso. Remember to use a sharp knife to cut else the edges will fray.

Happened to come across a rejected MF Shana in a local shop. It seem interconnects between the upper and lower body snap. It was left lying alone to be transport somewhere to collect dust. My GK instinct kick in and got it for only SGD$20 for a 6200 yen item.

GK instinct on fire. With my trusty pin vise and paper clips and a bit of physics.

Hehe. Good as new and saved Shana’s dignity.

Vallejo screw up my paint job big time. Argh!!!!!! Now I need to clear them off and they are almost brand new. Now I know why XM is still sticking to Citadel paint even though it sucks and expensive.

Couldn’t get any picture in mid way because wearing a gas mask and I don’t want the fume to destroy my cam.
The left is my Gunze Procon 0.2 right is my Sparmax DH3 0.3. The liquid is AAA thinner.

The whole idea is to strip down your airbrush to the minimum and take out the o-rings and teflon packings. Fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water and fill up a tubbleware with thinner and drop what ever stuff you wanna clean inside Switch on the cleaner for 3 – 5 mins with the container in contact with the water. Come out spick and spank.

Yesterday was a field day at Kelantan Lane and SLT. As prior researches, I hop down to Hean Lee Radio Service to dig for my bathroom fan.

45 Watt

The hose duct and the hose clamp

Everything in place

End result

Not that great looking but its compact and simple.

Basically what it did was it give the impression of actually wearing shoes and gloves instead of just 2 pieces stuck together. That’s what the groove is for. This technique is impossible without a dremel unit, flex shaft and a dremel bit.

Therefore I have to eBay for this set of diamond burr for cheap. Now gotta sand the hell out of the extra epoxy.

END RESULT

Adios
