Canon EOS 500D

was playing with Canon EOS 500D that day.. i have the demo unit back with me. along with Canon Powershot S90 actually but too lazy to play with the compact.. and i love the color of the EOS 500D so much.. 14 bit color conversion and the 900k ++ resolution LCD screen just show everything i want..


first shots is my MG Crossbone which is halfway done.. i'm just love the depth of field by the SLR.. this effect won't happen much with my IXUS 55..


another one.. closer.. greater effect.. that is how zoom lens work even without large aperture setting.. in fact.. this shot is taken by the standard zoom lens which is the Canon EF-S 18-55 IS..




try some shots with my Vanator.. now i got the right green i want..

another close up shots..






this was using aperture around F9.0 if i'm not remember wrong and using the pops up flash.. the marker that i'm currently using for my MG Crossbone..


then i try some shots on my display shelf.. EXIA..



my favorite Sd Cao Cao which is freedom actually and now equip with extra part from the serpeant which is next to it..

my favorite bling bling as well.. the akatsuki.. it always look good no matter how many times i look at it.. come on Bandai.. when is the MG version come out.. will this be the next variation for MG strike series or the MG strike series has rnd and now replace by MG astray series?



took some shots of all the MG Strike with different striker pack.


the last shot.. which is also my favorite Sd sangokuden series gundam.. the zhuge kong ming..

all the shots was using the Canon EOS 500D.. and ISO at 800 to 1600.. what do you think about the photos.. i'm just love how the camera able to process such pictures even the light in my room is dull lighting and my limited skill and accessory can't help much..

thats all for the post.. will try to get some shots with Canon EOS 1000D again. some of my picture with Martin Yan (one of the famous chef) in some very challenging lighting environment and the camera was use without accessory but only the standard lens and pops up flash..

Canon PowerShot G11

those photo was taken few weeks ago.. i mean those night shots and indoor shots.. the photo of G11 was from google..




this photo was taken at ISO 800, F4.5 and shutter speed at 1/40 second..


this photo was taken with ISO 400, F4.5 and shutter speed of 1/3 second..


and this is the indoor shots wih ISO 400, F2.8 and shutter speed at 1/30 second..

i was impress by those photo when i view it back in my laptop.. even with ISO 800.. the detail of the photo still there and the noise level is so low.. now i know why the Panasonic LX-3 was so special.. even with only ten megapixel.. the reason is simple.. the high sensitivity CCD.. using leeser pixel at the same 1/7 inch CCD but each size of the pixel increased so the each pixel have higher power to absorbed more lighting.. and now Canon making this too with this model and another model called Canon Powershot S90.. that S90 is even more interesting.. come with F2.0.. and with the latest DIGIC 4 processor.. i gotta say the quality of the photo is even closer to SLR photo quality now..

MG Crossbone X-1 FullCloth WIP 5

shoulder unit.. nothing special here.. like the dynames design.. it have some slot for the cloth.. part of that it also can show it inner frame after finish assemble it.. for got to take the picture of showing the inner frame after finish assemble the shoulder..






the shoulder unit.. required four foil stickers.. mm.. why not make it as one part.. zzz..

MG Crossbone X-1 FullCloth WIP 4

arms.. quite flexible actually.. it can do a lot of movement.. the color separation is very nice..



still got all the parts aseemble before joining all of them.. it still got a lot work to go here..


got some detail in the inner frame..


quite special here.. it got two ball joint in between the palms and the arms.. and this is the part that connect two ball joint..



i was wondering what the heck is this.. after i check the manual only know that this is the part that release energy beam shield and also some kind of fire.. it store behind the arms..

arms complete..

to be continue

MG Crossbone X-1 FullCloth WIP 3

this time.. the head unit.. it just not same as the chest.. it require a lot of parts.. not sure why.. but the mouth area seems like can open and look like it got some 'vampire' teeth with it.. it also got additional part for the mouth area but i'm just don't want to use it..






alright.. the headache part.. i saw Z's blog about the red line.. he rub and redo the lines few times just to make it nice.. luckily.. that remind me that i can use gundam marker to make the red line.. then use the gundam marker eraser to clean those part out of the line with tissue.. but it take some time for this gentle work too..



without the V-fin.. the V-fin for this kit is quite special.. even-though it small and the degree of the 'v' shape is little but after attach it.. it does look nice..almost forgot to make panel line here..


head unit.. complete..

to be continue..

MG Crossbone X-1 FullCloth WIP 2

alright.. start with the chest.. the part require are not much.. the design is pretty simple too.. i left the skull logo first.. cause i'm thinking of painting the skull logo..




i'm having problem with my panel line gundam marker.. so left the line too think.. but i feel it look ok.. i'm just don't know how to take care those gundam marker.. it make me headache every time i use it..



'Y" shape.. when i see this.. i was like.. "is that all for the chest inner frame?".. OMG.. so simple.. and no detail.. i think the chest inner frame design to that simple is because there will be a core fighter slot in later..
ok.. this is the part i miss from the first picture..
almost done.. how does it look like?.. a bike?.. the front part? from OCC?.. hehe.. i was thinking what will they do if they make a bike base on the concept of gunpla like they did for spiderman bike, fire fighter bike for 9/11, helicopter concept and bla bla bla..
thats it.. the chest complete.. the blue color look a bit dull actually.. i was thinking should i apply matte top coat on it.. but the weather here just don't allow me.. raining everyday.. what happen?

I'm Back!!!

alright.. exam over.. making a short post to inform who ever read this.. i'm back.. going to continue on my MG Crossbone.. stay tune..

off for exam

haizz.. really need to study already.. exam coming soon.. have no time to create and upload things here for a while.. until the exam over on 16th of November.. I'M REALLY WANT TO BUILD THE CROSSBONE!!

temporary medicine for gunpla addiction

just for people who have no time to build gunpla but one to get their hand on it.. Sd kit are most preferable.. assemble.. paint.. spend just few hour and you can complete everything.. it also save a lot of space and money.. spend few hundred ringgit and you may collect the whole series..

sd kit's color are normally not complete even with stickers.. it require a lot of work.. so don't think that its easy to complete.. you may feel easy to assemble it.. as for the painting.. sometimes i feel it more difficult then paint those 1/100 scale model kit.. reason is most of the parts that have different color is molded together.. so.. either use hand painting or.. if using spray can or airbrush.. you have paint the paint same part few times and switch the masking tape to the part you don't want to paint..

other scale like 1/144 or 1/100 may hard to paint due to the number of part.. but most of the parts are mold separately.. it just take more time to paint everything..

so.. playing with sd kit also fun..





two new Sd Sangokuden kit.. just got it complete assemble yesterday.. exam is coming soon but i'm still want to build something and enjoy it.. just need few hour to complete it and not affecting my study much.. not like MG which take me few days.. so.. can't touch my MG Crossbone much yet.. since i can't enjoy building an MG during exam period due to the concentration of study affecting the feel.. if you can't enjoy building the gunpla you want.. the outcome may lead to disaster.. XD

MG Crossbone X-1 FullCloth WIP 1

new project.. MG Crossbone.. my 21st birthday present.. will begin to get it done soon.. damn.. exam is coming on Saturday, next Saturday and the following Saturday.. for three subject and need to study for weeks.. can't fully enjoy to build this kit.. i never watch the anime or read the manga of this series before.. just know that the design was quite nice since it is consider small size MG.. so can't say much about this kit..
the box art..





impressive thing is this kit a got a lot of weapon.. traditional weapon..


check out the runners..






skull parts..





special crop out those skull part.. thinking of doing something on it..

MG Wing ver.ka (photo edited)

i re-post the whole thing due to the picture contrast..

Basically.. this kit is almost same like MG Wing zero custom.. just the colour, back pack, and weapon different.. so not much comment on this.. still the same problem.. big gun small palm.. hard to balance..

One issue.. i'm not sure it is good or bad to this kit.. too much decal.. and most of it were very tiny.. the process of applying decals almost longer than assemble this kit.. and just one mistake could spoil your whole piece of the decal.. i learn this lesson long time ago when i first make my MG freedom.. then i bought another MG freedom.. mostly due to the decal problem..

Transformation.. quite simple.. and the shape of Wing gundam ver.ka MA mode.. impressive..

Vanator complete

Vanator.. "The rise of the Roman Hunter".. haha.. complete the whole thing now.. the kit.. the shots.. not create much shots since most of the part are using glue.. a lot of parts coming out when i try to pose it.. damn hard.. have to glue it later.. then continue shoot.. dynamic pose is almost impossible since most of the part keep on coming out..

as requested.. more close up photos.. but most of the close up photos will just show up all the flaw of the paint.. haha.. the paint job done here was pretty bad.. the only thing look good here is the color scheme i think.. so.. enjoy the pics..



















hehe.. still can do full burst..






my favorite shots..


the end..

D-Day (The Vanator)

finally.. after few weeks.. i mean almost two month i try to make this thing come true.. my first time modification.. glad that i have complete it and not give up yet.. just finish searching the name and.. i found one name.. and not sure it cool enough for it.. but just.. what ever.. i named it "Vanator" which mean hunter in romanian.. trying to use other language to make the name a bit more interesting.. but not at all right..

should i call this teaser.. XD.. hehe..

camera's battery still charging.. guess i can only upload or create my own album for it by tomorrow..

Litt Tak

so.. today went to Litt Tak Sdn Bhd.. wait a minute.. Litt Tak?.. folks who leave in Malaysia may not know what is it.. even some Malaysian modeler also don't know.. basically Litt Tak is one of the biggest distributor for Bandai especially gunpla in Malaysia.. i guess it is the only one also.. those Power Rangers toys, gundam, kamen rider are mainly import by them from Japan to Malaysia..

why i went there? looking for information regarding Bakuc 2009 Malaysia that will held in Sungei Wang on 24th November.. normally it will last for about one weeks.. i went there to ask about the competition stuff.. the staff there was so nice to me.. too bad the one that in-charge for all the gunpla stuff was not there but i met one staff called William which in charge for general toys which means a lot of toys.. XD.. guess i'm going there to submit my form at this Saturday when Arthur.. the guy who in-charge for gunpla is there.

where was the place?. if you know where is Taman Connaught then it will be easy to find.. it just locate at some industrial in Connaught under the highway bridge in between Kesas Highway and MRR 2.. for futher information.. our best partner google map can help you.. lazy to upload it here.. it very easy to find because at the side of the road can see the big yellow board of Litt Tak..


ok.. i guess this is the 1/12 rx-78 standing behind the box.. haha.. it really caught my attention when i entered the office.. not that high.. i mean the height of this rx-78.. shorter than me.. XD.. i only got one six something for my height.. XD
lhere tell you.. BOOTLEG SUCKS!!! hahaha


the whole building..

oh ya.. there is one warehouse sales coming soon at December 2009.. William told me.. so.. folks.. have fun..
