Hey Allan and C-brain,

I noticed the logo... nice. By the way, whose eyes are those on your logo, cbrain? yours? :)

Oh and I saw the poster for the BAC Cup at Lil's. Great artwork.

Secondly, Cbrain...I am thinking about it. If I indeed join it will be a very good experience for me. I had never joined any contest (or even displayed my works in public) yet. Actually I think my models will collapse if put under public scrutiny. LOL. Mahina ang tuhod. Anyway I just bought a new kit and if ever I decide to join it could be my entry. Tsaka hanggang OOB lang ako.

You know Dwight, I was like that too when I entered. We all have to start somewhere... Let's just say that this is a collegial body - one where everyone considers everyone as "peers". It may be true that some are better than others but that's okay - that's where you pick up techniques and transcend it to an art form, isn't it?

Just make the model, do it the best way you can and when it's displayed in either an exhibit or a competition, listen to the comments... that's where you'll learn the most.

Time: 0955 hrs.
Location: Bataan
Weather: Wet. Very wet.

So what does one do when the judge decided it wasnt prudent to go to court on this rainy day and you didnt? Log on the net and chat away. My legs are hurting in 27 different places. LOL.

Dwight, CBrain and all the others:

Join na kayo. I felt the same way when I first joined a National competition in 1989. Won some, lost some. Whatever the results would have been, I took some delight in knowing that I gave it my best. My friends were telling me to join several years before. I didnt. And now Ill never know how I would have fared in those contests if I had joined.

Jun,
Thanks pare. Actually, my sig design looks like its leaking ink along the edges. Hehehe! Ill have to make some changes on that.

Yep! I second that! Master Vader's braille Bradley just makes me wanna wish that skills and talent in modelling can easily be stolen. But still I agree with beth regarding Lipton's Bradley.... can you teach me how to do those impressive subtle weathering and rust effects? Please please please.....

Mang Ben,

Can you ask Sir Winston if he sells Gunze-Sangyo lacquer paints by the bulk? Like a whole stand. i think like every color has 10 bottles each row. They don't sell it here in the U.S. because of it's flammabel properties. I'm stuck using the acrylics. I'm not used to using acrylics it chips off easily. and when i handle it like snapping a part together after paintin and letting it dry 92 days) i still get finger print marks on the surface.

I think he sells it 75 pesos/ bottle. Maybe i can get it cheaper if i buy it by the bulk. Thanks!

Mang Art (Lordtorqmada),

Not that old. i'm just used to adressing people older than me 'sir' or 'mang'. Heck if the english language would permit me to say 'po and opo i would! Modelings fine i'm still getiing the hang of using acrylics and airbrushing @ 11 degrees celsius. I bought a Gundam RX-79 {G} last week and completed painting it yesterday. The kit was OK all parts were nicely molded and fits very good. But the dry transfers was very annoying! some of the decals were already stuck to the wax paper! i'm planning on doing some battle damage where the decals should go.

HI everyone,

got same decal problem here, anyone or anybody knows how to restore/remove those decals with stuck wax paper... and getting yellowish... tnx & GOD bless to all...

whoa emjaetee, thats way too long. Over the past three years, a lot of gimmick places and restaurant have mushroomed all over cebu. also, a lot of party events happen every year. you should take some time to visit bask cebu.

Ben, it was not me but noel considered me "in". do I need to fill up some form and also pay some dues? also, will try to work with the only LHS here to make a gathering of all cebu modelers to create a cebu club.

also, Alex and Jm, please use english or caption your tagalog since this is an international site and non-filipino members also is entering this thread. Thanks.

Pre,

What's your entry sa Internal Competition ninyo? It's really fun pag sinisilip ng flashlight nina Hermie yung model mo eh... A while back I was contemplating to put a sign in the interior of one of the ships I made saying "Huy! Silip ka ng silip!"... I changed my mind... baka mapikon si Hermie eh. Big Smile [:D]

Say Hi! to him for me.

I think the vinegar thing works. I remember Ping (or was that Noel) telling me about it. I think the vinegar softens the decals though. It might soften to the point that it won't be usable. I guess I'll try it on one of the decals I have. I'll let you know what happened.

ch4dwick, I expect my items to be delivered today and thanks to Fedex Air21 that Didn't Deliver as they promised to deliver after 5 p.m.. Should not trusted them in the 1st place. BTW, JMN txt me this evening and inquire if I receive the items that they sent yesterday. As a local mail-order hobby shop, they have superb and outstanding service. in a scale of 1 to 10, I give them an eleven. Thumbs Up [tup]

CBrain,
Youre too kind. Just doing my best.

I didnt know you were into armor too. Some of the guys will be holding a clinic on how to make stowage for armor. A sort of techinique exchange. Ill be demonstrating my mine. Its cheap!

Lipton,

Was there for a hearing that never occurred. Swell. And the rains would let up for only a few minutes. Well at least the air was good. Big Smile [:D]

Halo,

Niiice sig! Now I really have to do something about mine. It looks like the rains got to it and smeared it up. LOL.

Jun,

Yep. Its the weather alright. Thank goodness for Tuseran.

Alex,

Thanks! But Ill have to clean the sig up, yet.

Im sort of in a slump, too. Work's been kinda hectic, and that trip to Isabela really wore me down. The elections there were pretty violent. Imagine, Army V-150s, Humvees and M-35s escorting ballot boxes. Disapprove [V]

That is affirmative allan. Its not Isabela alone but throughout the country. And when you see the new, police and military general always mention that it is a "peaceful, orderly and honest election". Confused [%-)]
