Monkey Reflex

          There's one thing that comes in my mind when I see horses roaming around in our backyard: free buko juice. Lacking the monkey reflex to climb a coconut tree, buko juice isn't something that I can enjoy on times when I wanted one (despite few coconut trees planted around the jungle). I just look up thirsty and drooling....and it ends there.

        Coconut harvesters still use horses nowadays. Few basketful of coconuts are worth about a few cigarette packs....father is always the beneficiary.^^

       I think having a pet horse is a good thing. Horses eat weeds...weeds grow and needs to be mowed...mower needs gasoline to function.

           The local term for coconut with hard meat (the one that usually hard to scrape from the shell) is called "magulang". The term "mura" is the one I prefer to eat with the juice. It has soft meat (mala-uhog) and can be easily scrape off from the shell.

           Dividing these into halves isn't as easy as swiping your thumb on a smartphone. There's no such thing as Fruit Ninja in real life....only spies.

1/100 HG Gundam Sandrock Custom

After a few weeks' "hiatus" (ok...I swallowed my pride this time) I have finally finished my Sandrock.

I based the look of the Sandrock on the manual of 1/144 Sandrock custom. In my opinion, it is much better than the one pictured on 1/100's manual.

Just love those huge....curvy............heat shortels. I borrowed my father's slightly used Pylox silver spray can for the shortels.

I didn't able to make Quatre's eyes right...he looks like Sailormoon in a new hair-do.

Since this isn't a master grade, I did not bother coming up with dynamic poses. Aerial poses isn't Sandrock's strong point either.

          Instead of having a plain gray cloak, I decided to add a little brownish tone to it. I used the remaining gray and brown poster colors on the palette...soaked the whole cape in it (i used the spray can's cap to mix the poster colors) then waited for it to dry. I used a pair of scissors to add tear at the bottom edges of the cape.

        I was tempted to use ballpen caps for the thrusters (something I learned from gmtristan.com link here: http://gmtristan.com/china-blitz-gundam-1100/) but I'm not particularly good at modding. I thought I will only mess things up if I only super glued the caps in place, so I decided to just spray it Pylox silver.
