RIP : Stan Lee (1922 – 2018)
Stan Lee died today and the world seems smaller now. His works has been such a big influence in most people’s lives: who on this planet doesn’t know Captain America, Hulk, Thor (the comics version), Iron Man and Spider-Man? So good night Stan Lee. In your immortal words: Excelsior! Rest well. ...
Interlude : 1/87 Miniature Project
Over the last few days I’ve been helping my friend with a commercial project using 1/87 scale figures. Due to its commercial nature, I can’t show the final figures and pictures. I can however, show this one figure I modified from a mountain climber into a guy in a bathrobe. It’s a rejected figure that …...
Holiday over. Back on the saddle!
I’ve been away from the workbench due to a short holiday to the United Kingdom. Not much on the hobby front there but I did pop by a Warhammer shop. More soon after I write up a small article on it. I’ll get back to finishing my Gustav as soon as I finish unpacking and …...
The need for speed!

Forever a Toys R Us kid
Ah well, the other shoe has fallen. Toys R Us will be closing all its US stores with the intention to sell all the ones overseas. They previously shuttered 180 stores in the US and all its British stores but alas, too little too late. Even though I didn’t live in the US until my …...
A visit to Yodobashi Camera Shinjuku
A scale modeler’s trip to Tokyo is never complete without visiting at least one of the Yodobashi Camera stores. On my trip in December, I stayed in Shinjuku and happily, Yodobashi Camera Shinjuku was only a 5 minutes walk away. Very dangerous indeed for this modeler. It turns out that this particular Yodobashi Camera is …...
Happy 2018!
Time flies and it’s the new year again! Here’s wishing all my visitors a more positive new year for everyone!...
Upcoming : Ready Player One
The book is chock full of pop culture references. Looks like they managed to pull it off with the movie. Don’t quite remember the RX-78 even making an appearance in the book but it’s always cool to see a giant robot on screen. I just hope we’re getting pre-Schindler’s List Spielberg here....
