Well, in order to start building the Humvee, I do need some glue and paints. So far, all I know is that 99% of my paints have all dried up and/or cracked, the glue have all gone funny and well, everything is gone. After looking at my budget, I realised that I do not have any more cash to buy tools of any sort.But while going through my surviving model kits last month, I did remember seeing a bottle of glue somewhere. And yep, I found inside an AMT kit. A half-started Prince Xizor's ship, The Virago.
You can tell its a very old model and also, whenI stopped doing model kits.
Even the cutter has rusted and also itshandle coated with some fungus.
After dinner, since I had some time left, I decided to cook more of those Furikake for my oats. But this time, I decided to take some short cuts to save time. And boy, none of my theories worked.Fast, fast chop
This time round, I decided to add more onions andgarlic since my theory would be to get them choppedby an automatic chopper. Not sure where my Mom
got the garlic (on the left) but they are actually one
single bulb compared to a normal clove of garlic.
And so, here we go.
OK, found some walnuts and Idecided to add them in too.
Failed. The chopper actually made it more likethey were minced. And most of the onions didnot get chopped.
So I had to cut them and some of the garlic byhand again. But at least, now I know how tomake some kind of paste. Maybe I will do
some reading on how to make a dip.
Thought I could save some cooking oil so I usedthe soyabean oil from the tuna. Failed. The cangave me oil and water which almost started afire on the stove. Why? I have no idea.
I added an egg, some usual flavouring that waswithin arm's reach and voila! A slightly burntfurikake. (The was because the minced garlicand onions cooked faster than the hand choppedones). Failed. Because I had to separate the burnt
bits from the cooked bits.
Added some more sesame seeds and mixed inthe sushi leaves. But I am not adding the chilipowder this time.
Testing with the rice. Hmm... tasted good.
More or less...
Since wife was still sick, I quickly drove Vee-Chai over
to one of my SIL's house to get some Nasi Lemak that
another SIL made. I can tell you, with the petai in there,
(and prawn, even though I cannot eat) it was delicious!
I wonder if she dares to open a stall...
I had to return to Infinite Creation workshop today (Saturdays: 11Am to 6PM) since Bruce's stuff was not ready last night. And I also brought Kaelynn as well. When I asked both girls if they wanted to follow me, only Kaelynn said yes. Anyway, the place was quite busy when I arrived....
Raymond bidding farewell to members ofanother Forum as today was their GroupBuild. Since they only spoke Chinese, itwas hard for me to talk to them and so, Istayed far far away... Tomorrow will beanother session for members from downSouth and Singapore, Raymond said.
Compared to my last visit, ICW has more stocks nowand it they keep getting stuff often from their companybusiness trips, ICW will become a specialty shop, a fardifference from any local hobby Shops. So, do visit
ICW as often as you can. Its also a Workshop where
you can do your modeling in peace. When it comes
to airbrushing, you only have to bring your own
air spray as the compressors are provided for.
Some of the members (Zero-G perhaps?) with theirprojects. Here, you can ask a lot of advice and theywill gladly help you through with any problems thatyou may have.
I am not sure which Gundam ship this is butit is beautifully rendered and with the metalexhaust at the rear, it looked very real.
OK, lets examine some of the 'new' stuff there. New asin since my last visit and yesterday's restock.
Metal 1/24 exhausts for cars
Photo-etched models. Yes, these are excellentmetal models which, when completed, will bea marvel to look at. Because no one would everbelieve it is so detailed at such scale.
This is something completely different.
Now, lets have a look at the middle shelf.
Eggplanes which comes in a set.Unfortunately, the cute girls arenot in the box. The manufacturerdid not make them.
Some 1/35 kits mostly from Tamiya and one 1/20Ma.K SAFS kit. Yep. A Ma.K kit.
Something I have never seen before:A Bubblegum Crisis Moto-Slave
At the rear of the shelf were some modeling books.The new ones are from Tamiya, which is printed inEnglish.
So, after collecting Bruce's things, I bought a tankcrew set and some texture paint.
Well, OK, so the price was irresistible. It was as ifI was back in the 1980's again. Heh.
There are some figures in there which will do nicelyfor my project.
Not much accessories but then, I don't reallyneed them. All I need would be a file and somereally good sanding material.
