There's only so much time a person can have in a day. And there's a limit on the number of things one can juggle. There are 3 things that a person my age would either have to embrace or sacrifice. Social life, Study and Hobbies. It made me wonder if what I'm embarking on is appropriate. What I want is all pros and no con, in fact that's what we all want. But wants and needs are different. I think I wouldn't be alone to say I'd like the best social life, grades and still have time for my hobbies. But no, nothing exists without drawback. Choices are a part of life, one I'd love to avoid.
It takes two hands to clap. If the party clapping is of the same height, they will of course, see each other eye to eye. But life doesn't always favor everyone, not everyone is of the same height. Whether you have a party with a tall end, or a party with a short one, one has to compromise. One person HAS to compromise, either the taller would have to bend down, or the shorter would have to tiptoe. I wish people knew the meaning of compromise, why not both short and tall party play their part to clap. I find myself constantly, and conciously making an effort to compromise, but fail to see you do the same. Soon our hands will be tired, soon my calves will buckle and I'll no longer be able to tiptoe. And then we'll never see each other eye to eye again...
Fear is a part of life. Fear makes you tremble, doesn't it? But remember, it's hiding from your fear that gives it the power it has over you. Face it, embrace it. If fear is your enemy, then work to overcome it.
Motivations, motivations, motivations. What's yours?
You think good things come to those who are patient? Rarely works like that for me. I've lost too much thanks to you, my patience. It's time to take matters into my own hands... Right after a nap.

Scrapping the titanium Zaku
I just realised how ugly a zaku in titaniun looks!
So I'm just gonna do it in original Shin Matsunaga colors. Add some weathering and pre-shading, and maybe some rusting.
I'm gonna buy that airbrush compressor soon. Maybe today.

Zaku II High Mobility Type Titanium WIP 2
Its been a long "break", and mid year exams are over. I've decided to finish what I started (which is really alot)
I still have many others (Nu, Wing, Strike Freedom, Unicorn)
But I'll prepare the parts for this Zaku first. I'll buy an airbrush (I have no clue how to fit it in the house though) the moment my holiday begins. And embark on a METALLIC Zaku.
Before that, I'll finish my RG SF.
AND THEN, I'll be starting a diorama.
A RG Zaku II Mg Rx79g diorama!
I just found out that art friend does sell Woodland Scenics, and pretty much everything to start a dio. ( Ideas?)
Well off to sanding, see ya.

THOUSAND VIEWS SPECIAL!!
Harro my friends!
Although noone has commented throughout the life of this blog till now, i'd like to commend the people who viewed my blog, even if it was just for a second. A thousand views (although half of it is probably my own) is really something that i'm proud of!!!
I'm not the kind of person to plank for 8 minutes to show my appreciation though. But maybe I'll show you guys my Yugioh deck?
I play Madolche!

HGUC: Unicorn gundam
I asked my cousin to order unicorn gundams decals 2 weeks ago and it finally came!
It looks like theres enough decals here to do 2 unicorns ^^ I'll be getting the HGUC full armor one at the end of the year and probably get started if I have time. I don't really have the time to start any kit or paint at all for that matter. I'll have to save to rent my own place and then I'll have space for an airbrush. So maybe a few more years? Definitely before ns. Im excited for Unicorn episode 7! I'll be sure to catch the theatrical release, but until then... Its back to study

Zaku II High Mobility Type Titanium (Blue) WIP 1
Well, its the march "break" now, so I have a bit of time to 'rest' . I wanted to test my titanium finish just now, so I used my Rust Oleum Silver Metallic under my Tamiya Clear Blue.
Before I show you the picture of the part tested, I would like to say, NEVER use rust oleum on delicate plastic models such as Gunpla. I speak with experience.
1) The pressure: This piece of shit packs a punch, a light tap will coat your part so thickly that it'll turn black. The only way to control it is to spray it 40-50 cm away from the part. I couldn't help but make an ass out of myself doing so.
2) Paint thickness: Even at 40 cm, Rust Oleum still manages to blotch at the slightest mistake. The only way to solve that? Buy another brand. Or use an airbrush, which I have no space for atm.
3) Paint Quality: Hands down the worst paint I've ever had to use. It doesn't dry completely, and leaves a sticky texture on the part like someone took a dump on it and it'll stain your hands no problem. The paint scratches of with close to no effort as well, adding to the list of disappointment.
4) Price: It costs thrice as much as Tamiya silver (Although its 2.5x the volume) I think Tamiya spray cans have a better pressure and leaves a smoother overall finish on parts.
With that said, time for the pros of this paint!
None.
I'm very disappointed with this paint, although I've heard many good reviews of this paint, it's just not up to my standards.

This WAS supposed to be titanium but thanks to the shitty troll weather, its flat. I guess I could glosscoat it later, and use my leftover waterslides from RG SF and it'll look pretty cool.
