Friday, May 3 with work in Bangkok done, I woke up around 5 in the morning, packed the things I used the night prior, checked out of the hotel, and headed to the airport for my 8:20 AM flight to Hong Kong. The plan is to stay in Hong Kong for a few days before [...]

It is the middle of April and I get word that I may need to head to Bangkok Thailand for work, training on the existing system sold prior to when I started working at this company and a demo of an updated version of the system for a bid on a second project phase. There [...]

Done with the Head

gamerabaenre@yahoo.com (Clement Eng) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:20:06 +0000

I had to wait a few days for my new tripod head to arrive. Only, when it did arrive, the connection end for the new head is a 3/8 in female where as my tripod legs were a 1/4-20 male, *sigh* too small to connect with the newer head piece. Well, regardless, I need to [...]

Efreet Custom – painting concludes

The past few days has seen the conclusion to the painting. The main armor is painted, then masked, then highlighted. But I’ll start off with the gold parts painted a few days ago. These parts have had that time to cure so on goes the masking. Using some thin yellow model masking tape, the gold [...]

Efreet Custom Part 1

gamerabaenre@yahoo.com (Clement Eng) — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:19:01 +0000

This project begins at the build gathering since I didn’t have any motivation on the ν project so seeing Angel break out his Efreet conversion kit and a suggestion of a challenge, I pulled my Efreet Custom kit from the shelves. After finding the correct frame parts using an MG Gouf Custom that was long [...]
