Project Beautifying Megatron Phase 2

Alright! Finally got phase 2 done!

Okay, in the previous phase, I've removed unwanted color(s) on the figure. So, now in this phase what I did was adding more colors to the figure, which was a lot of work.

Luckily, Megatron's color scheme is quite simple. Grey/Silver & Black... that's it. So, to add more flavor to the color scheme, I add some gold in there, which is the only color I add on this figure. It would have been nicer if I had different shades of gold, but I only have one. It'll do just fine I think.

So this was when phase 2 was halfway done, so you can see the difference in the parts that have been added gold color and the parts that have not.



And these are photos of after phase 2 was completed.

All the gold painted parts in the photos above was hand painted.

The work will get more tedious in the next phase.

To be continued in Phase 3.

Can You Speak English?

Got this video from my friend's blog.
Damn funny..

Woman: Do you speak english?
Man: No I don't. Sorry.

Haha, what the hell?

Here's the video.

Movie on Sunday

Watched Ice Age 3 today with Threza and her siblings at Tropicana City Mall. I didn't even know the place was there..Now I know.


The ps3 games there are also quite decently priced. Some of the old games are priced at only RM129. Hell, that's the price usually found in lelong.com...

The movie was soooo funny at one part I laughed myself to tears.
It is definitely a worthy sequel to the Ice Age movies.

Apparently, there will be a new version of Leader Class Optimus Prime will be released soon. In this version, Prime will have his gun and his face will be the exposed version(without the mouth plate).

Me want....

A little update for my Megatron project. I'm currently halfway through phase 2. ^^

Project Beautifying Megatron Phase 1

Firstly, let me introduce him.

Meet Leader Class Megatron from Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen toy-line.

As stated on its box,

"Rebuilt with parts Cannibalized from other Decepticons, Megatron rises once again to lead his army. Though the AllSpark destroyed him once, he can now feel its power coursing through his circuitry. It calls him to seize his rightful place as ruler over the puny planet on which he was imprisoned and destroyed, and from which he will launch his conquest of the universe. Optimus Prime is all that stands between him and victory, and the Autobot leader has done a poor job of hiding himself. At long last, Megatron knows exactly where his enemy is, and he has power enough to destroy him."

Stated also on the box, "Ages 5+".
Though this might look like a toy for children, I'm gonna do something that I'm sure kids don't do to their transformers toys.

I'm gonna beautify my Megatron further.

Overall, I've decided to break down this project into a few phases.

What I do in this phase is simply removing unwanted colors. On Megatron, there is only one part which has an unwanted color in my opinion. That is, the red panel on his right arm/cannon.

Basically I just soaked cotton buds with thinner and rub them on the paint to remove the existing color.

To me, the red color on his arm seemed out of place to his color scheme so, I decide to remove it before going further.

To be continued on Phase 2.

Transformers 2

I'm back in the mood ^^(YES!!)

First of all I would like to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes whether through sms, facebook or myspace. This is the busiest day for my Facebook & phone. Thank you again.

Transformers 2 movie has been out for a while now and its worldwide gross of 600+ million and still going strong(i guess). The movie actually got serious bashing from professional critics and some of the fans. Some said that "Too many explosions", "147 minutes of explosions", "Bad acting", "Bad storyline", "Too many plot-holes", and so-on.

And guess what? The movie still goes strong in terms of numbers. I've read one tag-line in one site(which i couldn't remember which site) that says "Transformers 2 might be the highest selling bad movie." Something like that.

Whatever people say either he's a professional or not, it doesn't matter. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the movie. Watched it 5 times.. and still wanna watch it again.. if i can.

I've bought the prequel comics for the movie as well. There are 2 books "Alliance" and "Defiance". Each book consists of 4 parts.

I will write about these prequels in another post soon.

Other than that, now I have 4 toys from this movie toy line. First,

Optimus Prime(Leader Class),

Bumblebee(Human Alliance),

Ironhide(Voyager Class),

Megatron(Leader Class).

All four in vehicle mode.

Hopefully I will be able to get some more from this toyline...teeheehee....

Midnight

Just woke up...

About the quiz, I can answer 90% of all the questions but my level of confidence... well... I'd say at most 30%. Luckily half of the questions are MCQs. I have to buy the text book. *sigh*

Apparently she read my blog too. Whatever happens, I'm still entitled to write about how I really feel. I can't stay politically correct every time and ignore my feelings. If she wants to be affected by my writings, that's entirely up to her.

Maybe this is the only way she'll forget me. This will be for the best.

Now hopefully this is my last pointless rantings about this thing. Seriously, for the actual boyfriend, I wanna say this, though I may not know you:
"Dude, I'm sorry if it ever comes to the point of you knowing this thing. It's purely unintentional. I have absolutely NO IDEA! you get what I mean?"

Ok, now I sort of like pathetic right now. But anyways, soon I'll post something more informative, still had some after shock effects(pathetic) -_-"

Thursday morning~

I didn't sleep last night.. because my band was having a very late interview at Capital FM. I'm glad it goes OK. I didn't talk very much unless asked directly(as usual).

And guess what? That someone misses me. What the hell?? I might as well just ignore her.

Now I'm off to class for a quiz... Quiz.. please don't be so hard.... Have mercy!!!

I'll be leaving my laptop on because I've some downloads & processes running. Please don't go black on me again.. -_-"

That's it for now...
