If there are no shops carrying Raptor heli kindly mail me the shops carrying Hirobo heli. By the way, I fly one Raptor 50 and one Hirobo SST Eagle Freya 90. Carl.

cbrain's hot with his weapons ready, you know... he also moves fast... and he is not just my brother, he is my evil twin brother!

jun...

you have been playing with 1:1 models??? how kind of you to let yourself get caught! you should've played with the in-house who got you busted instead, you might have saved yourself from some bonking. hehehehehe

ei cbrain... remember to keep that interceptor ready... and fix the radar... stack enough food in the shelter... you might need it one of these days... you're not safe even if you are out of the country, dear...

and finally... beth... you know, my brother's a real nut when it comes to macross stuff... your wingman is a macross nut.... don't you think they're gonna be a good pair?

peace, y'all! hehehehehe

BTW... MONDO... nice to see you here! welcome aboard!

QUOTE: Originally posted by allan [Mdlchiw, Very impressive work on that bike! You gotta bring it next meeting so the rest of the guys can see that. About the scratches on the chrome muffler, if the chrome finish came with the kit theres hardly a solution for that. If you sprayed on the chrome you might have to do it over again as its hard to make patch-up paint repairs on metal finishes. But if they arent noticeable, then dont bother. That bike looks too good to mess with. Oh, and advance welcome in behalf of the IPMS BAC community! Happy to have you with us.

thanks allan, ill try to bring next meeting. first, i have to find a way to pack it and transporting it will be easy. the chrome of the muffler comes with the kit. hmmm, Maybe ill just order a new sprue from lil's, hehe, sobrang OC ba?

Nah, I'm not the type who would dig a hole in the ground and wade out the war. I'd rather be in the middle of it dodging and evading, while returning fire at the same time. Ala Max Sterling.... ehehehe

Now now my evil twin sister. Don't prompt beth to get her wingman into trouble. Can't you see she's got her hands full from mang ernie's advances? ehehehe. Tell you what, there's no rule regarding pairing three people together naman e. So why not..... ahem.... having mang ernie, beth, and dhel in one big dogfight? Ala Rick, Lisa, and Minmei.... Hodiba mas masaya? ehehehe

yeah... got to remember that right! hehehe... but remember to dodge properly, brother... make sure your buns can't be seen or they'd get a hint where you are!

with that, i couldn't agree more! wehehehehe.... but then, do you think her wingman would agree to be in the minmei role? coz surely, they're rick and lisa.

cbrain,

emjaetee,

ahh. I believe you. But really do have an evil twin. She calls our hobby a waste of time and money.

hahahahaha... well, we all have those hurdles to leap over, but hey, sometimes, they may just be that way because they don't see things the way we do...

not everyone is into the hobby and we can't force it into them if they don't want to... the important thing is, we enjoy it ourselves and well, somehow, educate them regarding what the craft is all about.

cheer up! one of the reasons why the community is here... is actually to be with fellow modellers.

Nope, she's 18. Hehehe.... half Japanese and half Korean. She sings very well too!

QUOTE: Originally posted by ReggieFrancia QUOTE: Originally posted by smvillalon QUOTE: Originally posted by noel_carpio QUOTE: [i]O But all in all, I'm really glad women are getting into the hobby. I remember there used to be a BAC member named Darling... She was into figures and once she showed up with a figure of a bowing Jap soldier and her work was great! I think she was a student of Mel sa Fine Arts. I wonder whatever happened to her? Jun Last I heard Jun, Darling went to the US to take up her Masters. That's what I heard about her. Noel Hey! That's good news. Maybe Reggie can find out if she's still "available"... He's still single, isn't he? How about it Reg??? Jun smvillalon, who's available? i have a gf already. Who's Darling? she's here in CA?

She's a very charming lady from UP Fine Arts. She used to join in the meetings of BAC but I guess she had other priorities. she's great at figures and she was the "honorary baby" of the group because she was the only girl at the time.

By the way, so what if you have a gf?

You really are dead meat if she gets to read this! wahehehehehe

That's why I do most of my talking here when she isn't around. Oh well, she doesn't "relate" to any of the stuff though.

I read you there - loud and clear, pre... My wife's not my evil "twin"... just my "bitter half" but she thinks the stuff I make is a waste of good cross-stitching money...

Right you are there, emjaetee... right you are. It's making models that make the hobby interesting and fun but it's the relationships you build along the way that really make it worthwhile...

Filipino modelers, hi!

Sorry to interrupt your friendly exchanges but I'd like to ask an important favor...

I'll be assigned to your country starting this August for 6-12 months, depending on how soon we finish that future project which I'm going to lead. I'm a software engineer working for a known software company. They say I'll be staying in an appartelle called Robinson's Gallery or something like that (does Quezon City ring a bell?). Anyway, I'm an avid modeler and so I'd like to continue my hobby even while I'm there. I would need your inputs as to where I can find the Local Hobby Shops that you have. Preferably those with an extensive stock of paints, aftermarket products like photo-etched parts, modeling materials like sheet styrene, tools, books, and of course, model kits. My boss also said I'll be visiting the Alabung and Mukati areas (sorry, guys, if I spelled them wrongly -- these names are still strange to me ), so you can include the LHS's in those areas. Please provide complete addresses, phone nos., and web addresses if available. I'll just ask my Filipino friends to guide me to those places. Well, thank you very much for reading and thanks in advance for the help!

Good luck to your modeling!
Onyan

Welcome to the forum, Onyan. There are many shops in the Metro. The closest to your domicile would be Lil's at the basement of the SM Megamall - Building A. The next closest would be at the EDSA Shangrila Mall at the 6th Level (I can't remember the name but it's a train shop which sells models). There's one in a place called the Greenhills Shopping Center where the Special Toys Center is. It's at the Second Floor of the Virra Mall - Sampaloc Lane. Just ask at the Hotel for directions to the place. There are more but I don't know the addresses. Let us know when you arive and have time. I'm normally at the mall on weekends and I can probable help out. Welcome again.

shrikes,

Whehehe! Ooopsie! FSM... ok, got it. Nabagsakan ng plantsa ang ulo ko kaya bumulusok IQ ko sa lupa. Ok na ung site... was able to check it out kanina. Thanks!

Nah, joke lang yung lvl99 na forger.Di ko kayang gawin un (kung hindi ako mag-bo-bot sa mga Poring). Lvl 76/48 HybridAgiKight lang po ako.

Reggie,

Checked out the site Codyscoop. I've been through the pages na pala before. Thanks for giving me the link tho. Very informative nga. (That Cody guy has got a lot of money to burn...or is that common among modellers?)

Welcome to this thread onyan, glad to have you aboard. The places you mentioned are some the finest financial hub in our country. I'm with emjaetee regarding JMN since I'm from Visayas, I'm been ordering from them a few time and their stuff and on/after sales service is superb.

Hi Onyan! I guess everyone's backed it all up. We had lots of kits here which ranges from Tamiya, Academy, Hasegawa, DML/ Dragon, Trumpeter, Tristar, Bandai and Italeri kits. AM parts here are quite rare as so as resin figures. For paints, we have stocks of Tamiya enamels and acrylics (your best bet is Lil's Makati), Academy enamels and Gunze enamels/acrylics (STC in Filinvest mall in Alabang). Hope you enjoy the kit shopping here!

Mondo,

Fancy meeting you here, my friend! Welcome! Hows Davao? I just came back from Gen San and the sun was shining over there.

Onyan,

Welcome aboard to our lil nook! Hope you enjoy your stay in the country.

CBrain and Meekai,

Well we'll find out soon enough whos evil between the two of you. Oh and Cbrain, even if youre temporarily out of the country I know you wont be able to resist taking a peek at the forum. You see, you wont be immune.

By the way, I have got to congratulate you two on the splendid job you did on our forum. Two thumbs up! Wow! Yeah!

Shonen,

Dont you think youre a little too young for that girl?

Cbrain,

Could you, like, send me the rest of that pic? We could trade pics; Ive got a few.

Mdlchiw,

You dont have to replace the muffler, my friend. Like I said, that bike looks to good to mess around with. There will always be something thats not right on every model we build. We are our own greatest critics. But you know, people will barely notice that. All theyll see is the amount of effort you put in that fine model you made. See you on the 11th!

Jun and Reggie,

Yes, Darling went to the US for some studies. If you do meet her, befriend her, ask her how she is. But dont ever mess with around her. Seriously. She's Frank's favorite goddaughter and a good friend.
