Mr. Colour's Gun Chrome

lts amazing what a little airbrushing can do. I was at ICW and asked rayloke to help me get a  metallic tone which is neither too bright (shiny) nor too dark. So, he recommended Mr. Colour's Gun Chrome. I was about to ask more on the Alclad and the those Super Metallic series but I think they're too bright in the end.

I was quite happy with the Humbrol acrylic silver although it was too bright (which I would darkened it with a coat of black) and by accident, my thinner damp finger spoiled the surface when I touched it. The thinner cruelly took out the silver.

And this pushed me more to thinner based paints and away from acrylics. I was told they have more 'persistent' coating and gives a better effect. Being somewhat of a dumbass, I do not understand it but I do feel that its better than acrylics, even Tamiya's. But I'll still use them for washes though.



This is nice because its actually mixed with some black


I was so excited with it, I forgot to prime the part but then again, if I did, the grey primer might make it brighter.

The girls's new Train

Grandpa has helped to clear the 38 year old swing swing and all of a sudden, the girls were very busy. What were they doing, I had no idea but eventually...


Presenting the new refurbished swing!


Just so that you know...


It even has an on-board entertainment system...

More speaking, please!

These came in the Post today. And I might say, its a bit too late as they're supposed to be used for a few projects before September. Then again, its not their fault but mine because I should have given some leeway for shipping times.

It was pure luck that these were being sold in a set of four at a very ridiculous prices!



At first, I thought it was the **censored** but I was wrong


These are the 2.1Watt mini rechargeable speakers which are very loud. I once tested it in a busy restaurant and the sound was clear and well, loud. It has a USB cable for charging plus a key-ring. But I do not like the black rubber-like coating since from experience, they will become sticky and gooey after some time.


On the left is my RM39.00 speaker while the right is more than half that price. I am not too particular about the pros and cons of these speakers since I am going to take them apart anyway. What I needed was the speaker and its amplifier. The charging unit plus the battery will be thrown away.
