Been a while since i did any figma comics, because i have like 2 more days to finish all my assignments, and 2 weeks to go before i leave for Malaysia. And i have to finish a mondo network assignment in 2 days; book my flight ticket home when i know when i can go home; and finish putting my armor together.

Status:

• Tested all 4 limbs, i am able to sit/bend/walk up stairs.
• Need to wait for glue for stomach/butt armor pieces
• Chest armor pieces are nearly completed.
• Still deciding if i should make my butt armor split into two pieces (so i can detach my butt armor)

Here are the final pics of the finished Strap System (holding my joints together) =3

Created using Sports/Camp Fasteners, 1 Meter of webbing, a couple of buckles and etc. Why create the vest? I am designing my armor to the limbs would be attached to this vest, and i wear the chest and stomach armor like a shirt and an overall. This picture shows how the shoulder(bell)+upper arm armor, and thigh armor are connected to the vest. This is an old picture, but alterations mentioned on this picture has already been done! ^w^

Soon, all limbs will be wearable. When it comes to testing the armor, its all about the limbs and mobility!!

Could not resist censoring my face with this pic of Danny Choo! >_<

Rained the whole day, but i aint a person of much ‘QQ My Life’ words .. to keep things short .. armor crafting, catching up on assignments (its the last week!! TwT) and having a Photoshop break!

This short was taken pitch black out of boredom and then decided it was too late with just pitch black and white!

Something arrived today, another limited edition loot added to my collection completely mint! But because she is so cute, she got unboxed pretty quick! The mailperson actually left the parcel on my doorstep coz noone was around to intercept him TwT

Top of the Food Chain: The kyoukas found a new master ..

Ok, so Christmas aint that far away but i cannot resist at least putting on video up before i go back to Malaysia and get stuck in the dead zone of no internet! Watching this video will never make u say “Merry Xmas” normally again! ROFL!! Taken from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, Episode 21.

Oh snaps at the subtitles. That will teach me to slack while ripping an MKV file. Better to watch it directly at Youtube if you intend to read the subtitles TwT

And the new full version of the Tokyo Dancing Trooper in Singapore for the AFA09!

Been neglecting some nendo/figma fun thanks to ‘Armor Crafting’ .. so here we go!! When my hands are not so glue-ish and messy!!

When Armor Crafting, welding cement is poisonous to eyes, skin and when inhaling! But it is necessary if you want to weld ABS together!

Velcro and Super Glue are also ur best friends!

Introducing the new Nendo i unboxed!

Thanks to Rockleelotus’ PewPewPew~~!!

Counter-Terrorists Win!

The topic is getting old, but progress is progress! And it must be reported!! Here are some handy things to have when making Stormtrooper armor.

The Super Glue used to glue velcro on. This is pretty strong stuff, but expensive in small amounts >_<

Used to glue/melt together the ABS pieces. Using this to install my planned ’snap’ system (involves eyelids/clip-ons, etc) onto my armor.

Remember to have plenty of clips, to hold the pieces when the glue/cement weld is drying for 24 hours.

The armor bells are the first to be used welding cement on. First welded a blank piece of ABS, then going to glue another piece that has eyelids on them.

These are the ’snap system’. Drilled holes onto these cut ABS pieces, and they will be glued onto the other blank ABS i have all around the armor. Will show how the ’snaps’ work when i progress in later days!

Handy tools to have. Leather belt hole puncher (used later on webbing with eyelids for the ’snap system’) .. and a eyelid puncher. Better than using a hammer and a nail tool thingie!!

Nothing much to say about it .. its Danny Choo trying to imitate the Singaporean accent/slang! With a few mei-dos! =3 After AFA09, i was amazed to find out, not only was it a big event for otaku, but a massive culture shock for those who didnt know what the AFA was all about. Well, first time for everything! Apparently the newbies were shocked to see so many otakus in Singapore, and brain-freezed when they saw the maid cafe! Coz they didnt know how to react to it! ROFL. Looks like otaku culture is not globally known yet in some areas of the world. Either that, or these ‘normals’ have not been surfing the internet right! Haha!

The staff that  helped pull off AFA09 did a great job, even when they were shocked by Otaku Culture. Even when saying “I am trying to keep an open mind..” .. their minds mostly froze about how a big deal anime conventions can be! Its like that quote “Humans tend to fear what they do not understand!” .. enough bickering about the mortals .. they can take their own time to accept otakuism and evolve or something. Here are some of the AFA09 youtubes! (Credit goes to this uploader, Zerartul @ Youtube)

Team Singapore – Gundam 00 Exia. They won the competition!

Team Philippines – Witchblade

Team Malaysia – Code Geass

Team Thailand – Houshin Engi

Woke up and started working on the armor from 1300hrs to 2100hrs. It was raining, and every otaku i know in Singapore is at the AFA09. *Cry* .. was wearing the jumpsuit for the whole day and it kept me real warm during the drizzle and the tasmanian cold! Was cutting and trimming minor pieces and ended the night with super glue-ing some velcro onto the specific pieces .. spent the whole day trimming my leg armors so i can walk comfortably and moonwalk too ^w^

Cut/sanded/trimmed the following pieces. These pieces go onto the stomach armor and my knuckles and shoulders. Clipped the velcro coz i have to wait for 24hrs for the superglue to dry.

An exhausted trooper after nearly 9hrs of armor crafting .. i am wishing to obtain a certain nendo to be restocked before Xmas .. Zzzzz~~!!

After spending two days painting, sanding, screwing, drilling .. its finally done! My Stormtrooper helmet … yay!! Only a matter of time now, till i get the body parts all ready =3 Decided to take some figma/nendo shots too .. since it ain’t so messy for me today!

Presenting the already finished .. Stormtrooper helmet! Took a total of two days for assembly with paint, drilling, sanding .. *Painting the thing was horribly annoying with my shaky hands >_<

Drossel No1 always up to mischief!

Nekos have 9 lives anyways ..

Family pic! Kodomut pose! .. well, nearly similar .. >_<

Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil!

After all the fun u can have making the armor, always remember to clean up!!

HALT!! Fear my epic vacuum skills!!

Oooohhh .. dust .. desu!! (If only i had a maid outfit)
