Transformers: Prime Robots In Disguise Decepticon Rumble Part 1

Cyan or red, make your choice

Even though the animation series was done quite a while back, I still have many figures from "Transformers: Prime" yet to be reviewed on the blog. ^^; While this one, Rumble, is one of them, it's a very unique entry since the character never appearred in the show. ^^

Sunday Movie Theater: Down Periscope (1996)

From one sea adventure movie to another

After reviving the review series last month with "Cutthroat Island" (1995), Sunday Movie Theather returns with another sea adventure movie. ^^


Movie poster is from Movie Poster DB.

Released just a year after "Cutthroat Island" (1995), there's no more pirate in this movie, and it's set in modern era. Then again, looking at the characters and their behavior as depicted in the story, they can make for a bunch of incompetent pirates anyway. XD

SRW OG 1/144 ART-1 Part 6

All the minute detailing

Continuing the work on SRW OG 1/144 ART-1 after the previous posting, focusing on the kit's many weapons this time. ^^


Simple panel lining for the shield parts.


While the shield's base part is pretty large on its own, and the separate white stripe part forms its intricate pattern details, these two parts do have some minor molded details to be panel lined. ^^

SRW OG 1/144 ART-1 Part 5

Black for depth

Making good progress on the work for SRW OG 1/144 ART-1, with only the torso, head, and weapons remaining after the previous posting. ^^


The interior of the chest vents is painted black using normal panel lining to emulate depth. ^^

SRW OG 1/144 ART-1 Part 3

ART-1, why you so colorful?

Continuing the heavy paint work on selected parts of SRW OG 1/144 ART-1 after the previous posting. ^^


Tiny slits on the leg parts are painted yellow.

SRW OG 1/144 ART-1 Part 2

Is there anything that doesn't need to be painted?

Counting all the parts that need to be painted and detailed for SRW OG 1/144 ART-1 after the introduction in the previous posting. ^^


Colors needed for the helmet parts: dark blue, white, and yellow.


One tiny bar on each side of the helmet is going to be quite a challenge to paint. ^^


All the paint work on the Personal Trooper mode parts would need to be repeated on their ART-Wing mode counterparts. ^^;

Ngeekhiongex at Changi Airport

Back home from my short Singapore trip since yesterday. ^^

When I was using the free Internet service at my departure terminal in Changi Airport when I thought of a funny question. ^^




If looking up one's name using search engines is called egosurfing, what do you call the action of looking at your own blog even when you can do it on your own mobile devices? Is it ego-blog-reading? XD

Delta Plus's predecessor from another universe

From one transformable jet figure to a transformable jet model kit, ^^ I'm starting on a new plamo project, one that is from Kotobukiya this time. ^^
