Miku Miku Dance!

Go Vocaloid Summer!!! http://zoome.jp/mauschen/diary/4/

Got side-tracked by work but was finally able to get back onto the same 3 kits again. Hasegawa 1/72 F-117, Hasegawa 1/72 YF-21, Hasegawa 1/72 F-16 All the separate colors on YF-21 are airbrushed after careful masking. The kit is now ready for Panel-lining and then decal application. The wheel wells, landing gears, and cockpit are done. Now to get rid of the seam lines between fuselage & wings with putty & more sanding. Instrument panel is mostly decal job and the seat is painted pink because this will be finished as an idolmaster jet.

The Alice version is a limited release unfortunately. HoiHoi can now MOVE!

PEST X-san Pest X-san (comes with Knife, sword, option hands, optional Grinning face & eyes) Also coming soon is "Oboro", Pest-X's custom motorbike. Pest-X figure can ride on it! The bike can also transforms into a pair of giant arms... And combine with Pest-X!!!! And coming in November... HoiHoi-San Mini! BTW, Amazon has some of them in stock for reasonable prices: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_6?url=search-alias%3Dtoys-and-games&field-keywords=hoihoi+san&sprefix=hoihoi

You can see high quality concert clips in this interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huO9dge4riE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjyPGcVQy24

This thread needs some update! Ichigeki Sacchu!! HoiHoi-san (One-Shot Bug Killer!! Interceptor Doll HoiHoi-san) is a Japanese comic with story set in the future at a time when insects are immune to all insecticides, so Japanese pharmaceutical companies have had to come up with the next level in insect extermination: small but heavily armed robots. Hoihoi-san is the bug killing robot of the title, a 10.5 cm tall doll like robot that comes with a wide range of weapons. They can hunt down insects and kill them with miniaturized machine guns and tiny combat knives. Manga download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/289791553/Ichigeki_Sacchu_Hoihoi-san.rar OVA http://www.filestube.com/6d12a27233dd5a5b03ea/go.html The comic also spawned a PlayStation 2 game: Last year, Japanese model & toy maker Kotobukiya got the license and started producing a line of injection model kit for the series. The first wave was instantly sold out and took several months before restock became available! The kits are listed as 1/1 scale, molded in separate colors, with a decent range of articulation, including optional hands and optional face parts (different expressions & direction of eyes). The eyes, eyebrows and eyelashes are tampo printed, with other parts partially pre-painted, so you can build the models without painting. Also comes with decals for eyes & eyebrows, and markings for those who do wish to paint them.

The line up for the kits include several color variations and other types of Interceptor Dolls. ID-3 HOIHOI-san HoiHoi-san normal version (comes with pistol, sword, broom, option hands & eyes) HoiHoi-san Alice version (color variation with Alice in Wonderland scheme) HoiHoi-san Heavy Battle version (color variation comes heavy duty machine canon, Hammer, sake bottle, optional smile/dislike face parts, and the braided hair parts) HoiHoi-san Nightmare version (color variation of Heavy Battle version) COMBAT-san Combat-san (comes with laser gun, taser, option hands & eyes) Combat-san Tactical Suit version (comes with chainsaw, knife, option hands & eyes)

I think she's already making people do her bidding. When I watched Macross Plus back in 1994, the scene when it mentioned that some fans want to marry Sharon Apple, I used to think why wold anyone want to marry a hologram? After seeing this concert... I AM SOLD!

The mind blowing Vocaloid LIVE concert!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2egumdBwsg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CSgqsM1tqA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7acxqfGURUw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNrPHx60Q2Y Full length version available for download here: <a href="http://www.animetake.com/hatsune-miku-concert/" target="_blank">http://www.animetake.com/hatsune-miku-concert/</a>

Boobs are too big in comparison to the artwork displayed in the background.

After about 2 years of not building, I suddenly got the modeling fever about 2 weeks ago and started again on several unfinished kits. Hasegawa 1/72 F-117, Revell 1/144 Stealth Fighter, Hasegawa 1/72 YF-21, Hasegawa 1/72 F-16 Been concentrating most of my energy on Hasegawa's MACROSS PLUS YF-21. It will probably be the first kit to be completed in the next month or two.

Macross F opening! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuX6Qa2GjRw Deculture! Vocaloid Kaito! (the only male vocaloid) And the entire vocaloid family!

Artist first... modeler second. That's how it's been in my life. But I was spending more time doing modeling than art for the past few years. I'm just getting back into it more and more recently.

Cool. That is some unique 3D CG art you got there. I really like the texturing.

Yeah, I did that piece about 10 years ago.

Well... here is a TF comic strip I finally got around to complete: http://cwmodels.deviantart.com/art/Story-T...age-1-108031933 Enjoy!

I did a little search on youtube and here is what I found for Wonder Festival 2008: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...96;ル2008
