Building MiniHobby AAV-7A1 with EAAK (Part 2)

Building AAV-7A1 (Part 2)

For Part 1, HERE..

Continuing on with the painting, i intended to make this in a 3-tone-camo since in the last installment, i've already begin the first tone, now it time to go the 2nd tone... the dark green.

Dark Green camo
I used Gunze Arcylic H303-Dark Green for this and is thinned to a milk-consistency (flow like a milk) ratio.

Again, i'll be doing the camo freehand as its a good practise for me to make my hand steadier for this kind of feats.

When this is done, i'll proceed with a Flat Black camo.

Flat Black camo
- Some of my friend suggested to me to use a NATO Black, but since i dont have it in my stock so i have to make do with Flat Black H12.

So this is where i'm now..












Next in the agenda, will be to touch-up the demarcation line between the brown-camo and the green-camo by using a thinned dark-green to actually make the border more blended together.

After that i'll be leaving this for a bit to concentrate on something else in the process... which includes the following

1. Casting bag-pack and bedrolls to put on the vehicle
2. Painting the track.
3. Preparing the dio for the base (still in planning)
4. Creating custom made bedrolls from tissue etc.

until then..
enjoy...

Building AAV-7A1 (Part 1)

This is my latest modelling project, which is a AAV-7A1. More information about this AAV-7A1 ..HERE..

and the kit of choice is MiniHobby kit. Scary stuff to build and of-course do not compare this to the Tamiya offering... very the different...
Since the MH offering is just very crude since it is meant to be use as a toy, they even included an engine and battery compartment in this kit. Of course i'll not be using them.

This the kit box



Painting
I'll skip all the construction stuff since i just follow what even in the instruction sheet and plunge right into the painting stage..

so i'm building this as OOB and now i'm at painting stage..
completed the first camo color.. of course somehow initially my plan was to have this in Desert scheme (dark yellow) but now decided to test doing those with green-yellow-black camo thing..

in This segment.. i already finish the first camo which is the yellow-brown color. I used Gunze Wood Brown H37 (suggested by the kit to use XF-64 Red Brown).
and i'm doing this free hand... never try, never know right... and thats why my camo not the same as the suggested camo from instruction.. hope this is ok..

here is the out come... and if you noticed that the surface a bit glossy, this is due to me spraying Hairspray to simulate chip later on.... i forgot to do it earlier ...







I'll update more tomorrow..

Tukar Minyak at Toyota Service Centre

Walaupun aku tak keje ari nih, duty calls anyway.
Kena anto kereta pergi service walaupun mileage tak sampai lagi tapi time (yg 3 bulan every service) tu dah sampai... so kena la datang service (which ever comes first-according to the service lady over the phone). Kalau ikut milage still ada lagi 1700km lagi... tapi memandangkan still underwarranty... have to la.

Appointment aku jam 9am tapi memandangkan aku nih effective.. jam 8:45 aku dah sampai dah... yg best nya ramai gak org even aku mai awai....

Aku siap register masuk at jam 8:50am lepas tu diaorang suruh aku lepak kat "Ruang Menunggu" yg ada coffee-maker, air mineral & roti. Tapi memandangkan hari nih posa.. so tak dapat la menikmati kopi yg sedap kat sini... seriously mmg sedap kopi yg mesin tu buat.... pekat and penuh kenikmatan... nih mesin yg kita tekan button, baru dia grind the coffee mix with creamer and being push out dengan kelajuan tinggi kedalam cup yg disediakan... berbuih buih and mmg lazat.
So aku dok terliur aje la...

Internet

Kat sini jugak ada 2 internet terminal, tapi satu pun tak leh pakai... nasib baik aku bawak HP Mini aku nih..

tak le bosan sangat (ala nih notebook yg dapat free dari package Streamyx Cool Uni-Pack tu) and Service center nih lak provide free WIFI, so aku gunakan la sepenuhnya.. siap dok download UBUNTU lagi ....

Connection laju gak sebab ada 2 org ja yg tgh dok pakai skrang nih.... and aku rasa aku la yg paling banyak guna bandwidth....

Service Kereta.
Kereta aku cuma di"drive" masuk ke tempat service at jam 9:45am... 45 minit kereta aku dok lepak kat depan tu takde org buat aper aper... kebetulan keta aku diorang service berdepan dengan Waiting Room nih so dapat la aku tengok melalui cermin nih sambil dok type.

Ntah jam brapa ntha ler nak siap... tunggu je la... sekarang dah jam 10:45am = aku dah lepas kat sini selama dekat dekat dah 2 jam!! perghhh.. dah ler aircond pun sejuk....

nanti bila dah settle aku update time kat sini.. :D

by then aku nak blogwalking jap and nak buat keje sikit.. banyak paper nak kena settle nih...

slamat!!!

@UPDATE!!

Siap di service at 12:45pm 3jam 45 mins selepas aku walk in... pergh!! tapi very satisfaying... kereta rasa lagi sedap bawak.....

Akibat tak pernah solat subuh

Ok... video nih mmg aku nak kena share....

tapi pastikan sebelum tengok ajak kengkawan tengok sama and waktu tengok pastikan boss dah keluar opis... mmg kelakar gila.

Ada org akan kata nih macam main-main dengan solat tapi aku rasa ada kebenarannya. So nih secara tak langsung pengajaran dalam hiburan la...

so enjoy the video and share la ngan kengkawan yg lain...




aku personally dah start gelak besar masa azan tu... :D

Dah dah p tengok and kalau boleh tengok malam ler tak le terkurang pahala puasa tu. Bukannya sebab ada 18SX content ka apa ka... cuma sebab gelak besar tu laa..

anyway selamat berposa

The Malayan Emergency

English mode: ON

More information in WIKI

Last sunday, i watch this documentary in History Channel (Ch 555) to see the much anticipated (by me at least) documentary regarding the Malayan Emergency period (this is in conjunction with the Merdeka month).

here is a snippet of the documentary.



I think that is the best documentary regarding the topic that i've seen, it makes learning history interesting again (now i know why i slept during my history lesson back in the days). Now i know what really happen on the day and what have been done and the sacrifices made by all related personal (military & civilian) to get over the period.

From the documentary, i can see how Sir Gerald Templer did what he did to maintain order (like imposing strict curfew in Tanjong Malim as a Collective Punishment for not supplying information regarding the Communist in the area following an ambush on a group going to repair a sabotaged pipelines.

Also the ingenious way opt by the Special Branch in modifying the radio set to transmit the location deep in the jungle to aid the air-bombing party...

i think that all people should watch this documentary to get a glimpse of what happen during the Emergency Period.

For those who missed it, the re-run will be aired throughout the month.

Now i'm looking forward for their next documentary next sunday (August 22, 2010) entitled VAT 69: Very Able Troopers

Stacy - Jahat

Song of The Moment: Stacy - Jahat


Selamat Weekend.

Semalam ada sorang anak aku nih dok ikut nyanyi lagu ni lepas dia dengar dari corong radio (err ada lagi ka corong kat radio sekarang nih) and aku pun carik la kat youtube since mmg catchy betul korus lagu nih... mungkin itu la sebabnya bebudak cepat ingat lagu nih...

Muzik video nya ada tunjuk background Negeri Jepun and also bendera jepun.. even katakana jepun pun ada... and kat ending jadi poster movie pulak.. kreatif ehhehe

So lagi satu lagu masuk dalam list "Song Of The Moment" untuk hari nih

enjoy the lagu.. :D



Stacy - Jahat

Aku sudah serik bercinta
Kerna asyik berakhir dengan kecewa
Tapi sejak hadirnya dia
Semua sistem kawalan kini terdedah

Kepala kata jangan gelojoh (no)
Hati pula kata pergi (go baby go)
Benarkah cinta itu buta
Kerna tak nampak apa selain dia

Korus
Aku aku
Bagaikan sudah terkena mantera cinta
Dari manakah kau datang menyerang
Diriku diriku
Yang disangka kebal
Oh jahatnya kamu
Jahatnya kamu
Engkau engkau
Penyebab diriku terigau-igau
Kini ku terbayangkanmu hampir setiap waktu
Ku mahu ku mahu denganmu selalu
Oh jahatnya kamu
Jahatnya kamu

Apa agaknya sudah jadi
Pada ingkar untuk tak bercinta lagi
Walaupun belum bersedia
Tapi hatiku mendesak dan menggesa

Ulang korus 2X

Jahatnya kamu
Jahatnya kamu

Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan 1431H

The Lyric.

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I sufficate
And right before im about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't
Come back
We're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane
But when it's bad
It's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick
Of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit 'em
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down

Pin 'em
So lost in the moments
When you're in 'em
It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin' over
But you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad
As mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Stash additions: the habit of a Scale Modeller

English Mode: ON

I believe this is the "bad" side of Scale Modelling.. adding more kits to the stash..
No really... i need to start building more in order to "compensate" for the addition to the ever-growing stash.

Start off by examining the A-4 skyhawk as below...





But the 2 additions is for a good cause (at least in my POView..)
The reasoning are as follows:

The 1st pics: "A-4C "Viet Nam"
- this particular kit will use to make a TUDM A-4PTM as previously used by TUDM. To be specific, i'll do one like the one on display in Kuala Kangsar town square. This because when i first saw it there, i just know that i HAVE to make one just like that with all the display pedestal exactly like it..


The 2nd A-4 Skyhawk is to make just like the box picture. The Argentine A-4 during the Falklands war, beautiful isn't it?


The last one is a kit i won from a kit raffle (lucky draw) during the HeliGroup Build where i submit The Kiowa Warrior helicopter (Click here is you missed the entry about that heli)


Well this about it for this edition of Stash Additions.

I'm about to start my work on the 1st TUDM skyhawk because i got it due in September 2010 because i'll try to submit this to a Merdeka Group Build (MGB) organized by the society in KL.

So which me luck ....

The Melaka Duck Boat Ride

Ni pun lama punya history jugak nih...

terjumpa risalah nih dalam beg masa nak berjalana ri tu. Trip ke Melaka nih rasanya bulan Dec 2009.

Ke Melaka tapi tak naik pun ride nih sebab terlalu lama and ramai org tengah Q, so since dah tengahari and semua org pun dah lapar so scrap the idea nak naik boat tu.

Tapi ikut cakap kengkawan yg dah eprnah naik, mmg best.

In that case nak kena plan lain kali bila ke sana akan naik boat nih..

Safari for Windows

Testing the new web-browser.
The "Visually-Pleasing" Safari

English Mode: ON

Last couple of nights, i have the urge to try a new web-browser.
I tried Google Chrome and loving it, now i need to try something else namely Safari.
I still haven't tested all the features yet, but i can feel that the speed is almost the same as using Chrome and Mozilla. plus the interface is very refreshing.

I especially loved the Top-Sites feature that will be loaded when you start Safari and this is very refreshing to have all the sites that you frequently visit to show in front of you; of course you need to add your frequently visit sites to the TOP-Sites for it to show there.

Oh the top sites show the view of the pages not just some link (like some of the browser i tested before). This is a very visually pleasing for the eyes.


The same goes for the History page, every page is shown as an image capture of your visited site, very nice.


So far i'm loving it because it offers something new and visually pleasing (some people might find it a bit slow due to the loading of the image of the pages you use).

I'll give this a a try and maybe this will be my favorite to replace Mozilla that I'm currently using.

Now go and give Safari a try by downloading it here.

Now that i've used Safari, its time for me to change the look of my Windows XP/Windows 7 to match the whole Apple OS look that is the story for another entry..

adios..

8Bulan.. Bulan 2 Minggu 1...

Post pertama bulan baru..

ni sambungan pada post last week pasai cerita 8Bulan ni...

ikut sini kalau nak tau cerita ari tu... Sini!!

(gambar diatas dari Galeri Web 8Bulan)

Tengah tengok cerita 8Bulan kat TV3..

Diorang tengah decide nak amik umah, Shidee nak rumah Teres 2 tingkat tapi Linda (watak Vanida) nak kondo. Tapi finally Linda biarkan suami dia decide, so apa lagi seronot la dia tapi dengan syarat... rumah tu mesti sama sebijik dengan yg diorang sewa sekarang. Dekat abis episod nih tunjuk diorang dapat satu rumah di kejiranan yg sama and rumah tu di area Setiwangsa rega lebih kurang RM380K....

Ada character baru, abang Kas (abang Kassim), ejen hartanah dari Utara (kalau ikut loghat dia la) yg best nya masa dia buatbuat salah call Linda sebab nak promote rumah kondo (sebab Linda nak rumah kondo) yg bestnya ada ayat... "...suami-suami mana paham hati wanita macam kita ni..." pastu Linda buat muka pelik hahahah

Pada sesapa yg miss episode malam nih cepat ikut link ni and tengok catch-up tv link.. tapi maybe 2-3 hari lagi kot baru ada linkk untuk episode malam nih.. tapi untuk episode last week dah ada dah...

Ada 2-3 tips yg boleh di follow dari sini... antaranya...

1. Guna skill yg ada untuk buat freelance (tapi kena watch-out aspect conflict-of-interest) macam Faizal (watak Shidi) kata... "boss tau naya..."

2. Bawak berbincang dalam apa-apa hal yg besar (beli rumah kira besaq la tak gitu?)

3. "..kena paham hati wanita.." - ikut kata "Abang Kas" :D

Selamat menonton catchup-TV... :)
