chibicon convention

well last weekend was pretty suprising. i didn't mentioned it before, but i went to the chibicon convention in houten. i really didn't expect so many cosplayers at one place. it was almost frightening hahahaha. gundam wasn't a real big thing there (bummer). but i got the oppertunity to meet some fellow gunpla builders wich i only speak trough forums. my compliments to some people on chibicon, they got really nice looking outfits wich were almost straight out of the series/games/movies they wanted it to be. i tink i can make a book of the whole day at chibicon, but i think its better for you to see some pictures.


here is some merchandise that i bought on chibicon. as i already told you there was a lack of gundam on the whole convention, so not as many gundam kits as i hoped to see. i bought two action bases for char's suit's (MG) and two figures of final fantasy


cloud on fenrir bike from, final fantasy: advent children


squall from, final fantasy 8



2 action bases



and here is the album with chibicn pictures.
i will comment a few foto's later.

filter-system for the airbrush

as i mentioned before i need a filter system for my airbrush. of else my room wil become a mess with little paint dots all over it. i went looking on the internet for a home made version and found this dutch person with an awesome filter-system.
just take a look at it and see for yourself. i already bought 90% of the parts and i will list them on my blog in the next couple of days

my brother made a 3d sketch of the filter-system that i am going to build.
so what do you think ?











some spec's as requested:

the fan is a 16 watt 230 volt fan, 50 hertz with a diameter of 125 mm. it wil suck a massive 185 M3 in an hour (hahaha i know there are much bigger fan's but think about it 185 m3 is pretty much)

first try with the aibrush

so here are some pictures of my first run with the airbrush. i found out that i need a spray cabine for sure. i saw some great ideas on the internet about spraycabines.


well the pictures i took arent the best looking (think it's the camera).


i had a rgm-79n gm custom MG wich needed a recoulor. i tried this a few months back, but it went to a disaster. so i took the shield and i got some black airbrush-paint, mixed it up in the airbrush cup and gave it a try.well the only thing left to say about the result is : see for yourself



as you can see i sprayed some paint across the box that i was using as a spray cabine.

group-build project

i started this project typing in dutch, but i am going to continu it in english. so here is a new post of the subject : group-build.

i sanded the complete model today and some brainstorming today. not sure about the colors but i know where i am going to modify the model. i am not telling you what im modifying , only the piece/place. to give you an impresion, here is a picture with the points.

if you have any ideas about a colorscheme just say so.
