Army Life

Kawaii Nagi is Kawaii <3

It has been a long 2 months since I have enlisted into the army, and surprisingly, it isn’t as bad as what I have had thought of… but it’s still bad having to serve for 2 years.

Resin/Garage Kits

The interest in assembling and painting resin/garage kits sparked again.

I found this guide <Link> on painting resin/garage kits on google.

Tools Needed:

Primer
Citadel Paints/Enamels/Japanese Hobby Paints
Brushes
Super Glue
Cutting Blades
Sanding Paper
Detailing Markers
Dremel Tool

Seems that a airbrush + compressor isn’t necessary, but recommanded. I do not have a dremel tool as well. Currently, I don’t have the resources to get a airbursh + compressor (Approx: 280SGD). Seems that I’ll have to stick to conventional means of painting with a brush.

A resin/garage kit is needed obviously.

The アスカ (Asuka) kit looks good. Unfortunately, it’s at 4,689円 (Approx: 63SGD). My budget’s about 3000円.

Anyone has any recommandations?

A New Addition to Photography

IMG_6685

Ever since I have started to go deeper into photography, I have always wanted to get a new lens to replace the standard kit lens that I had been using since Dec 2006.

And just last week, I have decided to take a huge leap into the big unknown, and got myself a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L lens.

    Be waiting on your new theme!!!!!!
    I hope you a good time at camp!!!!!!

    And you always seem to book out earlier than TRM. ;\

    Secretly enjoying the training…that sounds so…closet hentai-ish.

    O_O Wow it must be hard to be in the army. OH SHI-

    Wow being away from the internet for almost a week… a couple of days ago my internet was down for the afternoon and I was hella annoyed.

    Hello Windbell !

    Even if you’re confined, i hope you can at last practice your photograph skills. It would be very sad that your extraordinary talent as a photograph decline because of the army. Oh, and excuse my curiosity, maybe it’s stupid to ask you this but do you have a psp or a ds for entertain you ? ^^;

    sorry but i’ve never made the army so i don’t know how it works (except in the movies) ^^;

    Gambate Kudasai ! ;)

    Hey you chaps already got a 6 mth discount versus us old men – it wont be that bad; BMT is probably the most shitty part of the Army; once you get into a unit it will get much better (and slacker if you kena logistics or maintenance)

    hang in there and enjoy the ride!

    remember to play fallour 3 moar!

    Ditto what purutaru said…army’s a good time to think about what you want to do for the rest of your life.

    When time comes precious, you make the best use of it.

    It looks like a character (forgot her name) from Hatsukoi Limited by Mizuki Kawashita

    2 years will be over very soon. Hang in there!

    BMT is the most fun place for some… worst place of all for others….
    Personally my unit life now is a lot better than bmt. 8-5 airforce personnel FTW
    Having cute looking technicians/DXOs in your unit is a major plus ^-^

    6 more months to go for myself… Hang in there dude… i was in your shoes not that long ago, your time will come when u take out a calender and start crossing out your leaves and offs and realise freedom is not that far away!!!!!

    Hope you can into commmand school if that’s what u want… otherwise airforce would be a great place to slack your remainder of your 2 years.

  15. - Hiyuu
