This Is Me

Yesterday I received a call from none other than Serena C from MixFM! She called to inform me that I am among the list of possible winner for MixFM's "This Is Me" contest. I submitted three photos for the contest and this one was chosen.



She did a brief interview and asked me on how I want to splurge the RM2000 shopping spree IF I am selected as the weekly winner. So I have to choose between my music interest and miniature models.

The interview was aired today, around 10 - 10:30pm :).

MixFM will announce the winner on Friday (tomorrow).

Monty's Caravan

Assembly of this kit was halted in 2008/9 because of missing instruction. I did, however, got this far...

Sink mold at the back of the figures. Dreadful. A little epoxy putty should fix this.

Diorama base painted. I use various tone of red brown for the pavement. I believe pavement in Britain should have dark gray tone but I want to add some 'colour' to the diorama.

I apply flat black on the vehicles as base coat.

Apply the Dark Green.

Add some colours to the interior of the Retriever.

Composition test.

Everything's painted and waiting for decal job and light weathering.

I use Tamiya's Diorama Texture paint - Soil Effect for the rubbles.

Luckily the decals still in good condition - except that it's a bit on the thicker side. Although the kit is a very old one, the decals didn't disintegrate when I dip them in the water. Gunze's Mr. Mark Setter was used make sure the decals stuck in it's place and Mr Mark Softener used to coax the decal to conform to the surface.

The figures - I use tire black as base coat and using drybrush technique, I just highlight the clothes on the figures.
