Jets, Plastic, Thinner and Paint

what do you have if u mix these together, fighter jets with plastic with thinner and paint...you get..fighter jet model kit!! yes, it is official i have re-lighted the passion on building model kit. history has it that i used to build all these kind of model kits when i was younger...but..wasn't that passionate bout it yet..and really sucked at it.

this hobby really has it's pros and cons, of course like every other thing in the world.
Pros: people with freaking bad temper like a walking time bomb can train on their patience and also allows you to be better with colors because most of the models come in just one dumb colour and your plane will look BORING! and these hobby beats sitting by the computer play pussy online games like MAPLE STORY!! yes..i hate that game..its stupid...i dunno why my cousins play that game..disappointed...everyday also..eh my maple account power leh! *talk to the hand brother!*

Cons: Its freaking EXPENSIVE! buying the model itself will already cost u a bomb unless u go to miniature hobby at marina sq. to get the cheaper ones la, of course they sell the good ones la..really good tamiya or hasegawa one...but the detailing and the stuffs sucks. E.g. the lines dun join well.. The tools you needa get will make ur parents murder you...heres the list.

1) airbrush, try to get a dual action one..theres cheap dual action..nv get single..and aircan type..it'll screw ur model upside down. been there done that.

2) Compressor. "for smoother and more efficiency on ur airbrush please get a Compressor!" or maybe u can get a big ass aquarium pump..that'll work too.

3) Paints. when u flip thru the manual of ur model..there is alot of shit ass colors stated...and some freaking colors u only need them for a few dots and u have to get the whole freaking bottle! tamiya ones is the worst! 4.80 for one..basket..4.80 juz to make afew dots!

Ya these are the major cons i can think of, well of course there is alternatives...a bugger like me who wants the result and dun wanna spend too much..we tend to go out far to look for alternatives..haha..shall post on that next time...

well. my most current finished project is my F4 Phantom 1/100 by tamiya...left over at my dad's shop...yeah..robbed it from my dad, used it to practice before laying hands on my 1/48 F14 Tomcat..my god that plane is da bomb! no no not kamikaze bomb..its the thing! the...(what do the blacks say) the sex?! watever la..its PERFECT...the plane is a work of art and a Masterpiece really...the F4 i got was actually the japan air force's F4...no camo color...just grey..screw who the hell wants an F4 with grey? F4 should be camo..like the one in blk 46 or White for the US navy! dumb fux...so erm..went to the uncle steven's weekend shop..next to my mum's coffee shop..to crash course on air brushing and modelling techinques...so here are some pics of my F4 phantom..first properly built nicely build plane...the pictures are not weathered yet..and my N73 phone...er..it has a good cam juz tt i'm not good with cameras...all my 19 yrs..


speaking of F14...How i took the drug of modeling back on..hmm..had to be watching top gun again..i've watched that movie on LD more than i can remember when i was a kid, facinated by the F14 Tomcat and now i've downloaded it on to my laptop, basket u see tom cruise as maverick..flying here flying there...getting his plane upside down showing the aggressor the 'bird' with his hands..haha and the bed scene..wah soft porn ah that one...my first exposure to erm...french kissing and bed scene...haha...so yep...i'm currently painting and detailing my cheap ass 5.60 F5...making it look like top gun's MiG-28 that never existed at all..so..will update asap!!
