E-P1 X Hong Kong Island Tram

Not very often, I jump up onto one of these tram, just to go for a very short distance along the tracks.

Tram has been a very convenient mean to get around from the place I worked.
If I go for MTR, it will get so long the way I go from the ground floor to the platform, which is a few stairs and tunnels to go.
If I go for bus, it will usually be loaded and it is not a comfort to sit on there when I am already exhausted from work.
Mini buses are good, as long as it is close to full load and the bus go straight to the destination. But sometimes it will gang around until 16 seats are loaded and it may sometimes take 10-15mins!

So, Trams go very frequent. In winter, when the air is cool, it is usually easier for me to get on to the trams. The only thing against it is time. In a rush, not at all.
So occasionally when I get myself free, go by tram is very enjoyable. The air and space let my mind free and I just watch the people on the street ganging around like a slow motion film.
Ding-ding~~Ding-ding~~ time passes... Let's get off~~



By the way, let's do some PS~~haha

RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7

In fact, I have started this kit since March this year. But I wasn't quite concentrated on it at all.
Here are some progress pictures about it.
I would say this is another of my recent OOB build and I think I am pretty satisfied with it so far.

Some little addition to the ride is the inter-cooler that will be added. I have replicated one from the GTR-R34 kit.

Nissan Fairlady 350Z Nismo Tuned

I have started this kit back in 2007 Oct. I haven't been working on it at all as the sanding work for the body kit is really a demanding task. And afterall, I have got this kit stayed untouched over the years and worked on many some other things else.

From time to time, I have work little by little and finally, I have got the body replicated and it is now ready to be painted. Ihave decided to do it a pearl orange color and this paint is from Ricebox again. I hope I can still be working on this in December and hopefully get it done straight a way.

Denizen Miniatures 1:43 Racing Figures (2)

Finally, I have got a couple of decals for these 1:43 figures. These are both from MSM Creations.
Hopefully, I will be doing these soon.

Third Prize~!

I have participated in the local open model competition this year. And I am so glad that my M1 has got a second runner prize!

E-P1 X Star Ferry Pier

I have just got a great used OM 50mm F1.8 lens for my Pen!
I have been practising the manual focusing all day and night at them moment and would really liek to share some of my first outdoor pics taken by this MF lens.



(This wider shot was taken by the kit lens)

Williams BMW F1 FW24 (6)

Finally, this is it!
I have wrapped up the parts and get this done.

But so unfortunately, I have got one of the tyre decals ruined. And I while I was fixing it, the rest on the same tyre were also demaged. I have no choice but to clean up the whole tyre and that is why I can only get the kit setup with the tyre put aside.....

What a bad ending for this wonderful kit....... Anyway, I have get this done and hopefully I will be doing some other F1 kits next year. Thanks for watching this progress.

E-P1 X Lamma Island

Earlier in Oct, I have spent some moments with my dearest friends in this lovely place.
I have taken loads of picture as the pictures are like 5-6Mb each, I can just share with you a few of those pictures.
This place is really like a heaven as a relaxing resort. I am sure we will be visiting the place once for awhile to recharge ourselves from tiring work.

Williams BMW F1 FW24 (5)

Progress is still very slow for this FW24. I have got the tyre marks applied today and the chassis is now ready and I guess I will add no more details at the engine bay for now.
Just some little bug-fixes will get this F1 kits done.

F-15C Eagle - Gulf Spirit (8)

After some refinements and the painting of the ejection seat by Andrea paints, this flight is now done.
I am so glad to share with you my little words along with my progress here in this blog. I hope you;ve enjoyed. Thanks for reading.

Williams BMW F1 FW24 (4)

I have spent the weekend watching the last race of F1, and the mood for modeling come back eventually. Since I have not been very satisified with the clear coat polishing this time, I didn't have the spirit to proceed... But anyway, I have to move on so this will not hold for too long.

At the moment, wiring works were done. Actually, some further wirings can still be added and the wires can still be better fixed. And some details here and there will be put on soon.

F-15C Eagle - Gulf Spirit (7)

After some days of resting from my MotoGP trip, I have finally get back some mood for modeling. I just painted the fuel tanks and the landing gears, get everything weathered and a quick flat coat.
And it is done.

MotoGP 2009 - Sepang Circuit - Race day

23rd to 26th October 2009, these 4 days will never be forgotten in my life. I went to to Malaysia GP! WOW, what a amazing thing I have done this year and I do regard this as an archievement of my own!

And afterall, I have witnessed Rossi taking his 9th World Champion!
This experience will never be forgotten!



The sound from the Ducatis are so so loud that I though I will be deaf!


Thanks God I have made the move so I can get these close up pictures! Thanks to my E-P1 who have done a great job for me!

Williams BMW F1 FW24 (3)

As days passed, I have finally finished polishing the cowlings and some areas have been repainted as a quick fit of chipped paints. As the frame has been polished, the rest of the details are fittted together and things are getting like a F1 ride now.

Further details will be added later on. Also, if you look at the pic closer, the engine cover can't really be closed completely. Possibly it is due to the painting layers have pull the cowling upward. So I do not plan to have this ride curbside. And engine details are to be added in a greater degree than originally planned.

Williams BMW F1 FW24 (2)

So, it is not the German tanker, it is not the F-15C, it is the BMW!
I am very lazy this weekend. Anyway, I am not trying to be hurry with all these kits. I just tried to do it bit by bit.

After some weeks, the clear coat should be fully dried. I have get the cowlings polished today and some more parts are to be painted into CF. So it is almost done. Haha~

F-15C Eagle - Gulf Spirit (6)

Some may think I am just holding too many different projects at one time, yes, but I am just trying to be focused on each of these projects while I was working on them.

And here, I am getting this F-15C closer to completion now.

German Tanker in Summer (5)

For the last couple of nights, I have been working on the fuel tank and the ammo boxes.

It was quite a fun painting the wooden pattern over the ammo boxes. Academy only recreates the pattern over the top and the bottom of the boxes, but not the sides! So the bad thing is, I have to scratch the sides with knife to recreate the pattern. And the good thing is, the result turn out to be a lucky trial! The resulting pattern looks great!

Referring some reference pictures about WWII ammo boxes, I have get a better idea on how the boxes should be painted. And here it comes and I have finally get most of the things ready in this little diorama.

Please note the pictures were taken with my new cam~

German Tanker in Summer (4)

After a special occasion with a local figure painter master, I have a very strong feeling of painting and would like to go ahead for some new ideas. That's why I have speeded up this little diorama a bit.
The landscape is built and the fuel tank is painted ramdomly with Andrea colors.
