Nissan March - Orange

One of my best frineds has just got a Nissan March!
To celebrate with her my toy, I have decided to get her a copy of the car in 1:24 scale.
Hopefully I will be able to add some minor details to the kit as I will be able to take some detail pictures from her 1:1 copy.



The interior are superb if you are talking about a Fujimi kit. I can say it is excellent as an OOB kit.


The body is also in fine scale and panal lines are nice and sharp.


Though the chassis is simple, the details are clear and sharply presented.

I am thinking about to match the exact pearl orange color as my friend's ride. And I don't think it will be as simple as my Fairlady's Solar Orange from Ricebox.
So, after examining the kit on its own, I have started working on the body.
The emblems at the front and rear ends are both removed and will be replaced with photo etchings.

The edges around the fenders are all thinned down to recreate the scale.


At these simple fix, the body is almost ready to go. I would be adding some minor details around and that will take me some time to get some nice photo from the ride. So just stay tuned for the next update.

Olympus OM-10 - First contact

At the very last of 2009, I have got myself another new toy! The Olympus OM-10 film camera!
It has the exact same outlook as the Pen E-P1 and this will be my very first film camera!

I got this camera body from Yahoo! auction and I have mounted the 28mm F3.5 lens on it for its first couple of films. With the OM-10, the lens can be 1:1 wide from it specification and I have turely check out the lens quality. (Rather than a X2 crop factor on E-P1)


I have had the first patch of the photos on 31st Dec and apparently I will need a lot more practise! XD


And on the New year Eve, I had some shots of up on the hill too.
But unfortunately, I have got the 28mm lens ruined and I have quickly replaced the lens with another 35-70 F4 zoom lens. The shopkeeper, whom I purchased the lens, was so nice and evn taught me a proper gesture to hold the camera at run time! I guess I will be going with this lens at the moment until I have more spare money before I get any new ones.
