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.

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 …...
