Wow... it's been like... a month since I last posted...

Well, basically, holidays have been mostly three things, modelling, tuition and music, so yeah, even though it sounds pretty uneventful, I hardly have time for much else...

I'm finally done with my StuG III, well, at least, I'm satisfied enough with it. A model is never complete until you're satisfied with it. I thought it was shitty at first, but after some weathering, it turned out pretty ok... I might have overweathered a little though, which is a bad habit i have to kick.

I'm also about done with my gundam. It's not complete as I haven't started weathering, but it's complete enough to show.

Workmanship wise, I think the gundam was better than my tank. Well, as far as modelling goes, I'm still a nub and I can only get better.... I would like to try my hand at competitions though.... It's a shame that Singapore hardly has any Gundam competitions now. Even when they do, it's clearly a sales gimmick by some shopping centre organised to promote the latest line of gundam kits, which is sad for old school fans like me... oh well....

Modelling is really something I wish I had more time to do... It's really addictive. You start work and you simply don't want to stop because, firstly, you wanna perfect what you're working on and secondly, clearing up is damn sian.

I did buy two more tanks while in Japan (which is seriously model heaven - modelling stuff there is super super cheap).

And on top of that, Fiona's host family gave me a gundam :3 :3 :3

(they're really nice people, especially reina :) )

This Gundam is probably going to be my first MSV (mobile suit variation). The theme will be on Robert Oppenheimer's "I am become death" quote. I'll probably give it back to reina if she's coming to Singapore for arts fest and if I can finish it by the time she arrives.

This means that the number of unmade kits I currently have is 6.

I'm developing the symptoms of a hardcore modeller already. I'm starting to hoard models. More models than I have time to finish making... bleah....
