Back in 2016, way before the current pandemic hit the world, neighborhood-wide events such as the Halloween dress-up and decoration event were celebrated. It was a much happier time, when people and neighbours got together, no matter how silly things looked. People embraced it well and in a friendly, casual way. It's something I wish to see again in the coming years.

This order that I made to Hobby Search Japan finally arrived to my home in Singapore. I decided to get myself some new accessories to complement my existing Kotobukiya model kits - the Evoroids and JSDF mecha unit. As well as revisit my childhood past in the form of the STG game - Gradius.

Items featured are:
1. Kotobukiya - Weapon Unit MW36 Missile and Radome
2. Kotobukiya - Weapon Unit 07 Twin Link Magnum
3. Plum - Vic Viper Model T301 from Gradius V

Time to take a trip down the nostalgic lane!

These are cassettes that were kept at home for some decades, and they still look sturdy without mould and their tape still intact.

How many of you out there still remember playing cassettes in your Walkman devices, from years ago?

My order of the X-Acto Number 2 knife has finally arrived! This tool is useful for trimming away stubs, when assembling model kit parts from model kit runners.

This tool, while sharp and efficient, is also dangerous. Thankfully, it has a cap to cover its blade after use.

Hey there, remember my most-recent post on the Evoroids G-Crawler model-kit assembly? Now you get to witness it transform into its vehicle mode - a combat tank!

Over the weekend, I took some time to assemble this cool-looking yet cutely-designed tank/mecha model kit. From Kotobukiya is the Evoroids series. There are a few in that line-up, but the G-Crawler caught my attention the most, so I am skipping over the aircraft and beast mecha types for now. Enjoy my assembly process!
