here my cabinet: http://photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonwayne/Cabinet/ ignore the last few pictures. those are my old setup. now i'm thinking of changing the setup. instead of placing the blue LED behind the cabinet, i'd like to use white LED infront of the cabinet. sort of like 'spot light' them onto my toys. as to where to buy those wire and LED, there's a place here in my country where they sell all sorts of electronics and electrical stuff. very easy to find the LED and wire. i can't find any stores selling them online though. I'm from Singapore by the way.

true true. LED rules. you can arrange them in any pattern you like. straight rows, circular, cross, etc etc. but i really don't recommend batteries, as you can't leave them switched on for a long time. a DC power source is better. if u find the wire ugly, try to find those coated copper wire. the type used as the winding inside a transformers (not the transformer toys, but those use by electrical circuits). they are very very thin. i think it's at most 0.2mm thick. can easily hide them at the side. just for info, i used 30 LEDs in a row for each shelf of my cabinet. i have 3 cabinet. so in total, i used 360 LEDs.

oh, forgot to mention. LED really aren't that bright, even with those super bright type. can't compare them with those halogen lights or fluorescent light. but they do looks nice. at least to me.

thing good about LED is that u can control how bright u want it to be by controlling the amount of current flowing through it. of coz, making it too bright will burn them out. for their power supply, u may use the power supply module of your old PC. i suggest using the 12V supply, and connecting 3 LEDs in series with a 75 to 100 ohm resistor. just my suggestion, u'll have to try them out to see if it'll work for your configuration. another alternative power source is those mobile phone battery charger. but this thing have little power so u can't connect too many LED. in fact, any DC power source will do the trick. just note that each LED only needs about 2.5V to 3V to work. LED not just consume little power, they last like almost forever. my choice for lighting system.

ever consider using LEDs? there's this super bright type. connecting several together will produce enough lighting. i used LED for my cabinet.

heard that this is going to be re-issued in jan '06. those who have the patience, can wait for just a little while longer to find out if it's true.

Saw this on Nado-Ya: http://www.noda-ya.com/html/syohin/figure/02000563.htm Not sure if Yamato is going to re-issue this. And funny this is that they lump and priced the two valks together. I can't understand anything from the site. Anyone can help?

OMG. this makes me feel like opening up all my MIB valks.

something similar happen to my clear top coat when i spray on rainy days or at night, where humidity lever is high. but it's only slightly cloudy, not white as what u mentioned. i manage to salvage it back by using tamiya polishing compound. but before u try using polishing compound, do read up more about it.

They have an anime for this? I only have the comics. It was recommended to me by a friend. Said it's great. But I only find it so-so. Not really my cup of tea.

upcoming set 2. not sure when releasing.

anyone have any info on these plushie? who's the maker, from where, etc etc?

Use top coat. Mr Super Clear can spray now comes with an anti-UV type. I'm not sure how effective it is, but definitely worth a shot. Available in gloss or flat.

Its out of print. i still see a few on yahoo auction japan every now and then. rather cheap exclusive of shipping. but not sure about other places. the box is a bit bigger than that of the PG GP01Fb. weight about 10kg or so.

Finally! Finally! Completed after one year. Definitely gots lots of things that can be improved. But I'm a lazy modeller, always taking the easy way out. The shine/gloss are not consistant as I don't paint them all at the same time. Depending on my mood, some parts are glossier then the others So, ladies and gentlement, now I present to you, manufactured by Bandai, standing at a height of 0.78 meters, weighing a total of 30 pounds, the one, the only, the HY2M 1/24 Gundam RX-78-2: The smaller one in the picture is the 1/60 PG Gundam RX-78-2 It's actually quite posable. But I'll have to remove the amours, losen the screws, pose it into the position I want, tighten the screws, and put back the amours. So I'll just leave it at this pose, perhaps forever. Anyway the cabinet is not big enough to pose it in some stunt position. Time to move on to my next project. Oh, more pictures here: http://photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonwayne/My_Collection/

If Acguy is bad news, then what about this: PG Sword & Launcher pack for PG Strike Gundam

I am trying to understand what Hobby Search is trying to say in their description of the CF. From the sound of it, it seems like there may be 2 versions of the CF. The CF will be mass produce for the market but what Hobby Search is having for preorders are a Hobby Show Limited Edition. It sounds like that but I could be wrong. Hopefully more info will pop out to clarify this. I believe there is such a thing as Hobby Show which is run in Japan. oh no. please don't tell me it's going to be the same as the 1/60 VF-1A cannon fodder. a normal brown version and a toy r us brown version.

that's 1 good way to look at it. anyway, with something that precious, i wouldn't want to keep on reposing it. fix it in 1 pose, and put it inside the cabinet, and that's it. BTW, this thing weights 6kg, as it was stated on the box.

all the joints are tightened by screws to hold it in a certain pose. to re-pose, u'll have to loosen the screws, re-pose, and tighten the screw again. rather troublesome. me

too expensive. the parts are too big to be painted properly and evenly. the plastic have quite a few molding marks. it's rather posable, but u got to like remove some of the amour and loosen the screw and pose and tighten the screw and put back the amour. but it really looks good painted and assembled. and assembly is easy too. anything that big got to look good.

IMPO, the older PG are not that good. such as the RX-78-2 and the Zeta. Not getting my money worth. but heck, if it's a PG, it's on my to get list. i wonder what's next after the Aile Skygrasper? Maybe a PG Freedom
