Yamaha Warehouse Sale 24-25 July 2010

Saturday,

Went to Yamaha Music Warehouse Sale @ Kelana Jaya. Primary objective was to get a double paddle set for my drum kit. Only a couple of box left... with 40% discount. Unfortunately it was out of my budget. I was expecting around RM7XX; so with heavy heart I have to pass the double paddle kit. Maybe next time. I did, however, left the warehouse sale with a couple of cymbals.

Sabian B8 20 inch Ride

Sabian AAX Chinese Cymbal

But there is, however, there's one cymbal that caught my attention. I wanted to get it but again, budget constrain gets in the way. This is actually the ride cymbal that I wanted.

Sabian Paragon 22 inch Ride Cymbal

Oh well, better save up for next warehouse sale. I'm thinking of getting the Yamaha Hex drum rack system.

Models: Judge Dredd (Movie version)

After sitting in storage for three years, I've decided to proceed with completing this kit. It was given to me by a friend, an experienced modeller, who have lost his interest to work on this kit. The kit is missing one part, the second half of the right hand (read: have to scratchbuild!). As of last night, the kit is still at the most tedious stage: puttying and sanding.

Things to do:

Scratchbuild Dredd's badge to use as backdrop.

Create a worn out look on the base by adding some scraps, rust, stain, scratches, dents and dings,etc.

Lighting effect from under the base - lights will be peeking through the grill holes. Which means, I have to drill out each and every one of the grill holes.

I have given myself a 3 week deadline to complete this build (24th July).

Git 'R' Done!
