Scale Models Malaysia 2011: Awesome event!!!

Last Saturday, i was down in KL for the SMM 2011 event, and it was an awesome event (click me for detail)

With a total of 99 entries from various categories, it was the biggest entry for this event.
I was there with 7 of my models, hauled all the way from up-north in my car and i'm glad that the models survived the long journey ;o)

My entries are 1. RMS Titanic,  2. Kiowa Warrior Helicopter, 3. AAVP7A1 tank, 4. M1A2 Abrams, 5. Eagle transporter, 6. Star Wars ATAT Walker, 7. Tornado Gr1

I have a couple of shot from the event, but for now enjoy this..

 

I'm still recovering from the journey and it was a very worthwhile trip for me.. although i only there on the first day (Saturday), my modelling colleague informed me last night that some of my entries got a medal.
Once i got more detail i'll update in here.. :)

I'll post more photos in another entry after i processed it.

Stay tune...
p/s: The Result was announced on Sunday.

RMS Titanic is DONE!!!!

Just a few minutes ago... i called this project completed!!! and now ready for SMM 2011 in KL..(what is this SMM 2011.. click me!)

as a teaser here is the not-so-detail-shots of my RMS Titanic..

I'll post a better photo a little later...

kuman :o)

Little-Green-Pigeon ... not Little-Green-Men .. ok!!!

Little-Green-Pigeon ... not Little-Green-Men .. ok!!! 

I shoot (with a camera not with a gun) this little bird outside my office sometime last week... just thought i share here..

the bird is called "Punai Daun" or Little Green Pigeon (Treron olax)

Apparently this is only a baby.. i believe it try to fly off a palm tree infront of the office and landed on the sidewalk...

when i snapped this photo, it just stand there and i got to "sapu" the head a few times.. which is very rare for this bird..

some of my officemate told me that this bird is really delicious... luckily i'm the one who found this bird.. else it will be in someone elses curry pot already :lol:

just thought i share..

Be there!!!.. 

The END is NEAR..... Titanic almost done!!

THE END IS NEAR!!!

i continue on with this build with the process of rigging again...
a tiring process of the whole build.. since the threads are just so tiny and trying to tie-a-knot by using a tweezer is no fun at all... luckily there's SuperGlue that i can use ... although it helps but i also end-up in more than once.. manage to get my fingers "glued" to the tweezer!!!... painful...

anyway here is another round of photos for the rigging process...

after this i'll be putting the lifeboats and then maybe i call it done....
This ship is due in HHQ KL in May 21, 2011.... so come and see it live there..

Building the famous RMS Titanic - rigging...

ok back to the build....

Now the fun part of ship building.... rigging...

This is the first time ever i do rigging for ship (since  never build ship before), using the included nylon thread in the kit (although i know that there's a good thread called Lycra that is very nice in scale compared to this nylon thread which a bit oversized).

so far so good but having a big fingers didnt help a bit... i need to use twizzers for the rigging and a bit of help from CA glue to make it stick.
enjoy the photos and next i'll post on the stand/base for the titanic.

Pawn Stars, not PORNSTARS

First, dont get me wrong.. the title of the show does sound a little kinky and naughty but when you look at the spelling it does make sense...:o)

Learn about the show Here in Wiki!!

I really love this show, somehow this show makes me laugh from all their jokes.. in fact the latest 3 shows aired just a few minutes ago makes me laugh so hard until my stomach hurts and have tears in my eyes....:o)

i love their negotiation skill in getting the people that come to their shop to let go of stuff at the right price, and their way of doing it is what makes it so funny...

and to see their how they trying to get the right price for the right item that come to their shop is just hilarious.

Building the famous RMS Titanic - painting the parts

back to Titanic...

last week my compressor went kaput so all the mood for modelling kaput also.... now since i'll be getting the compressor back in a few days.. thought i share some of the progress *before* the compressor kaput...

The Funnel
The funnel already being painted with my own red + yellow mixture to make it orange...still i think i need to tone down the orange a bit more..

 The Hull paint
Also since i dont have the Hull-Red paint.. need to mix the paint as suggested by the instruction.. 1 black + 2 red.. but it doesnt seem right.. so i add another portion of red.. and the result as follows...

 The black paint is just a straight Flat Black
will need to clear coat this later

My Version: The story of a Malware Attack : Part Uno...

This is my version of the Malware Attack Story that this blog experience a couple of days back.
(Click on the image to see the bigger version of it)

A few visitor alerted me of the "Blood Screen" warning like below from Mozilla..

i really have to praise them for being so brave and click the "Ignore This Warning" to enter my blog and alerted me via my SHoutbox... thank you very much!!.

Anyway, after i noticed about this i scourge the web trying to find an answer to whats happening this is when i find a link to use Google Webmaster Tool to detect the fault in my blog. Once you login to the tools page (using your Google Account),you need to "add" you blog to the Manage list and also you need to verify that the blog is yours by inserting 1 meta code in your header and then the Tools will do it thing.

Day "minus 0.5" day: Post Malware Attack entry

Yesterday was a really dreaded day for my blog,
somehow i accidentally created an entry that have some code that deemed this site as an attack site...

According to http://onlinelinkscan.com/, my blog is now safe...

Still a bit paranoid of the whole process of recovering. This is my first post at minus 0.5 days after the attack and a bit paranoid and cautious so that i didnt put any more unwanted-codes in my blog.

I'll share the whole experience in a later entry...

Let see how this latest entry play out well to all the visitors.

Thanks to those that alerted me on the possible attack and been helping me test the blog accessibility.

VB2010 - check for Null value in fields

This is a little Programming related.

Since i'm learning and refreshing my mind regarding to programming in VB2010, so this is a little something that i learned a few days back during my brainstorming session with my little applications that i'm creating.

Just thought i share a little bit of what i found.

You can use the "IIF" statement to do comparison checking to check if the fields value ISNULL or not.

1. IF the Value is null THEN

2. return BLANK value

3. else
4.           fill with Value

 In my application this is how i do it.

this also i'll update in my Apps.Tips page

a very basic beginners tips... :o)

Follower #345....

Blog: Add Menu Scroll Box to the widget in sidebar

Just something i added to this blog to make the blog a little bit more organized.

From the origin of the site for the tutorial

I added a scroll Box to the bottom of the sidebar, this is merely a way for me to test out the functionality of the ScrollBox before i use it for the rest of the blog... more like a proof-of-concept for me.

I test on my "ANUGERAH" widget to the right bottom of the page.

The link to the original site of the tutorial can be found in my Blog Stuff page (Click ME!)
Entry no 7 on the very top of the page (updated today... Feb 01, 2011).

Hope this helps you guys in making your blog more functional.

Anyway, more Scale Modelling updates coming in the next few days including the completed Eagle Transporter and the progress for my RMS Titanic build.

Stay Tune..

Building Eagle Transporter - at 80% Completion

Updates!!!..Space 1999:Eagle Transporter

Sorry for the delay, got caught up with my "make a living" job, and only a few days ago got the chance to sit back and enjoy the hobby... and can continue with this Eagle Transporter.

This is where i'm at as of last night, all the parts painted and also applied a coat of Future as a preparation to decal this spaceship.

Windows 7 :The trust relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed

Just thought i add & share something that i found at work the other day.

It seems that Windows 7 have an issue with adding user to the Domain.
It will prompt an error like below:

The trust relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed...

when this happened you'll not be able to add the user from Domain to PC.

Actually there a hot fix for it issued by Microsoft..

You can read all about it here and then Request the fix, the link and password for the download will be emailed to you in a few second.

here is the link to the Hotfix readme Click ME!!
I also already added the link to my APPs TIPs pages for easy reference later.

1. Install the hotfix (it just a small download),
2. restart
3. add the user as usual from the domain

Hope this helps someone out there.


Enjoy
