Gold Coast. (sepang.....)

On the 26th, my family wanted to go camping. wth?? My mom la was too excited bought a tent la, this la that la....(i never liked camping.) Dont get me wrong. Im not a spoilt brat that has never seen the sun or a sandy beach or never heard or seen wild cows and mistake them for horses. I ve been through my share of hard core camping and hardcore living in the wild. (Kem terendak guys? remember. A hell of a weekend waste.) But i really dont like taking the effort too sit in a tent outside of comfort zone, because ive had my share of unconfortableness, and really appreciate what im slumping my fat ass on. A nice chair with a fan on the ceiling.

However of the sitution was a little diffrent, maybe i might be interested. But nevermind that. Ive caught lots of pictures of this so called virgin beach. Even though ive just penetrated it wit my plastic fork.haha. What i meant was a nice clean beach ok? Maybe i should tell you about kem terendak. Then youll feel my absolute hatred of that weekend.

Now, camera roll:

The beach is kind of clean, but not as clean as the one you see abroad. But, hell, there has never been a clean public beach here in Malaysia.(Oops, the tourism goverment is gonna shoot me.) However this is true. Malaysians have no sense of responsibility over public property. They use it as thought its their private loo. Yet, they demand more, but are unable to take care of things. What a nuisance eh? But if youre responsible, and you think not only for yourself and are public property aware, good. We could you more people like you. Then public properties can withstand longer around here. Not for minutes after it finished.. Have a barbeque, heck even a summer party for all i care. Just clean up afterwards, and leave it as how you came to it. Nice and Clean.

Sherlock Holmes.

Catched Sherlock Holmes today with friends. I think its brilliant. I didnt know guy ritchie was a not bad actor. Robert Downey Jr again has surpassed brilliant on this one. Iron man was good. This was better. Really good plot i might say, however, it runs along very familiar story lines that u encounter on tv series. However, a simple storyline with a lot of laughs and good action and effects always makes a show that extra good. I didnt take ant pictures, so sorry. But this movie is worth the watch, or could i say, worth the hour lining up to grab tickets you always encounter in mid valley. Take it from me, grab yours early morning. Even with reservation lines full, lots of seats are still available. They only quota a few seats for reservation.

What impressed me was Roberts british accent. Really good. However, you can still hear a hint of an american accent, especially his deep tone voice. British accent usually are on a lighter tone, especially in the time he played. Thier deep tones are really deep. Nevertheless, it was quite good, and not like some actress trying to fake it out. (Jolie's one isnt good. Hehehe.) His partner in crime Jude Law, was without doubt a good actor as well. Played his role brilliantly. Rachel Mcadams was being the bomb she is. Mark Strong was a good villain. Overall, i give it an 8.5/10. really a must watch. Go!

Kampfer PT 2. Pimped Up!!

Holla. Finished painting kampfer, or only the body. I havent even began working on the weapons. Im kind of happy with how it turned out, knowing i was using a brush to paint, and i suck at painting. SO dont shout at me if you see blunders and ugly brush strokes. I havent painted one in 7 years. The first one was utter ugly too. Haha.

Shotgun bonanza!


Front.


Back. With all the verniers.



Left View.


Right View.


I Can see the brush flows and some over painted spots, i know. But im happy with it. It does look bad-ass. Wait till it gets the weapons as well. Im glad that i turned this :


Into This:


Different right? Cooler right? =)

Kampfer Pt 1.

Finished Assembling it, now to seperate it into its major colours. In that way it would be easier to paint parts of the same colour at one time. Normally MG kits have alot of parts mainly because they are seperated to the slightest detail such as a armor plate from its leg or a vernier from the slot. This makes it easier to paint these parts separately and achieve maximum level of detail and finesse. First, take your beloved toy apart and separate them into paper boxes , according to colour like this :


Then, take a chopstick, sate stick any cheap stick u have and place some sticky tack or play-doh or anything of the same kind at the very tip of the stick. Make sure the sticky tack is secure then place the part you want to paint like this:



However , the picture is showing a grey part instead of a blue part because i have previously wet sand the part and sprayed Mr.Surfacer 1000(bloody expensive, mind you.) Mr Surfacer is a primer manufactured for hobby kits like Gunpla. Primer is very important for painting as it helps the paint stick to the surface better. SO, firstly wet sand the part with sand paper 1000.(means its superfine.) Easily found in a hardware shop. Wet sand means wet the paper first. Then when the surface is silky smooth, stick the part on the stick and then prime it with the Surfacer. What happens will look like what you see in the picture above. And the below :



Once the primer dries, youll get a matte grey kind of looking part. Hence, to the paint. The very most IMPORTANT rule of painting is the mixture ratio. For me, since im painting with a brush, i mixed about a layer of paint in a shot glass with ten drops of thinner. You have to find your own suitable mixture because it differs with what you use and in what container its in. The mixture is different if you use an airbrush. The mixing practically decides how many layers you gonna have to paint and how good your finish will be. Hence:



I painted the parts while they were on the sticks. Then let them to dry :



So far so good. The paint is job isnt the most perfect but it looks fine. Tomorrow morning is gonna be the black parts.

RM 416 at 12.15 pm.

Finally got my MG Kampfer. For 160 ringgit. Wait till its a completed work of art, then its worth the price. Nice shop to go to. Time machine. Spent RM 280 for myself and a grand total of RM 416 in matter of minutes just on toys. Hell yeah!

Anyway, Avatar was a great movie. very classic story line, again race/species endangerment. This time it was based on old cowboy movies. The native of the alien planet Pandora, the Na'vi are a bunch of aliens that live upon a huge deposit of i-dunno-nium, that worth's a nation's total financial reserves by the Kilogramme. Imagine that. To my opinion however, introducing such a material would actually damage an economy as the world simply cannot accomadate a commodity that too far expensive. The cycle of the money would far too huge that could make a bigger gap in the wealth difference. I think. My economics is a little rusty. Never mind that, the humans want that huge deposit and are forcing the na'vi too move. Sound familliar? Cowboy/miners trying too move red indians? So the basic plot is in your grasp, thus i would not further spoil the story and recommend you to go grab some tickets yourself. A brilliant show indeed. A rating of 8.5/10 .


Now to Kampfer. Been doing it for two days. Finally finish the building process. By next week, stripping it to its bare pieces to paint it.

Awesome guns. Couldnt resist.

Guns, guns, guns. What else?







Once i start the painting process i will do a follow up on the blog. So youll get to catch every piece of detail that needs to be done.


Also on the way, preview of the next project, Kshatriya. =)

Avatar tomorrow.

So exited. gonna watch avatar tomorrow. Booked seats at Berjaya Times Square. Why so far? Cause im gonna do a little shopping there. Im gonna buy toys. I havent bought one in months. Was eyeing for a MG Kampfer :


But also interested in a MG Nu-Gundam. Both were around the same price range. I think. Haha. We'll see. Will update on purchase and follow up on project step by step.

Upcoming December Movies

There are currently 3 movies ive been eyeing on and have seen the previews. On 17 dec is "Avatar". On 24 we have "sherlock holmes" and on new year eve is "did you hear about the morgans"

Avatar. Directed by James Cameron, famous director of Titanic, Terminator and also the Aliens series. Casting of Sam Worthington(Terminator Salvation) and also Michelle Rodriguez(Fast And Furious 4) and etc. The movie is exactly what the title is. Humans discover a world called Pandora, apparently habitable and its local population consists of blue tall aliens and wild aliens of mixed species looking of our own kind of animals. To further explore this mysterious land, the military recreated the alien lifeform from scratch and enabled them to be mentally sync with the chosen human and acting as an avatar for them. Thus allowing to further explore this vast land. However, higher ups have other plans and its up to this fine cast of actors to assist the aliens in protecting what is rightfully theirs. Sam Worthington has become more and more famous in the line of action movies. Probably the new Action hero to come in line with actors like Christian Bale as the new faces of hollywood, but nevertheless, he is one to be seen often in the years to come.


Hehe. This one is a definite yes. Rather mixing comedy action with alot of chivalry and simple romance, This sir will be a fine hit for the closing 2009. Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conon Doyle will once again prove his utter brilliant detective skills in uncovering a secret dangerous plot that could bring chaos to the peaceful days. With a superb fine cast of Robert Downey Jr(Iron Man) and also Jude Law(sleuth; superb acting i tell you.) this movie is just gonna be fun. A really must see.
With Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker on the same screen. This is gonna be a blast. High powered couple, witnessed a murder was forced to move by the witness protection program. See them hilariously trying to adapt their temporary life as things they never had to do, need to be done.
