SD Missile Launcher BuCUE


Incoming!!!!!! BOOM!

Alright, the papercraft this time is Missile Launcher BuCUE from Gundam Seed series.
I got the template from a China blogger.

Be fast though, as you can only obtain the template ( 1 JPG, which you can print it out on an A4 paper ^.^) until 2100 hour of 31/5/2012. After you finished this model, you can 'exchange' it for the next model- Railway BuCUE.  Here is the link: glorygundam.blog.163.com/blog/static/200708273201212294122224/

But the problem is... I don't think I can continue this hobby anymore. ( I wonder if I could bring cutting mat, craft knife etc into the hostel.

 Head part 1
 part 2...
 part 3....
Because the template is squeezed into one A4 paper, the size is also decreased significantly...
Thus, difficulty increases....

The 'legs'


Some assembled parts.

The cute little 'toes'

80% completed

The big head of any SD model always looks super uber cute!
Besides the head are parts of the front legs

Head? Checked.
Body? Checked
Missiles? CHECKED!


Another angle

The upper parts of legs/ limbs

Booster.... This...makes...me....suffered...like...HELL!

Repeated? Ya I know.

The limbs look weird.... I wonder why.

Back...

Looks sorrow...

Booster! I ruined the boosters.

Weird limbs.

With its laser blades!



That's all for Missile Launcher BuCUE.
I hope the family of Angry Birds could be completed by 27th May...

Angry Bird- GREEN!

Ah yes, another brother of Angry Bird.

In my opinion, this bird is the most useless one in his siblings. ( or is it because of my lousy boomerang skills I wonder....)





I hope I can finish his family before 27th of May...... I really hope so......

Rayquaza

After all these days, Rayquaza is finally done :D

Encountered a lot of problems, including the position of 'fins', multiple closing tabs, loose parts etc.

But, the sense of satisfaction is the most important aspect in any hobby, in my opinion. And somehow, I feel satisfied even though this is not the best papercraft I have made >.<


Let the photos do the talking, shall we?



My favourite front shot

Did I mention I like this part the most? The depth, which makes it so real.
If I am making Groundon or Kyogre, this'll be the main reason.

The usual irritating claws


The 'fins'! Super duper irritating. 

Which makes me use Super glue, and the overflow-ed super glue causes...

A piece of ubber glove inside the papercraft !

LOL. I have to wear a glove to prevent my fingers from getting glued together. 
I guess that did not work well.....



*Shine*

Tail  :D Looks cute here/




Spoiled tail ...I'll explain later.

Looks weird isn't? I wonder how did I miss one part of the tail??!!

Funny looking tail. AGAIN.

Bla bla bla

Bla x6

How to fix =.= : Pull the tail apart, glue in the correct part, put back the tail. Tadaa .....
Easier said than done. Really~

After I finish building Rayquaza, I encountered a major problem: it could not stand up! ( with the wrong tail, I don't know if it could stand up with the correct tail part or not though)
Planning a surgery...

Cut a hole. I used 2  one sen coins.

Super glue does the trick! ( with ugly water marks again.)

And it successfully stand up on its own!

Before it is done...


Beside the window...

Fins! More and more fins!!!

Perhaps, this will be my last Paperpoke.
I am going to Kolej Matrikulasi and I don't know if I would even have time for this hobby anymore.
Hope things do work out as what I have planned.....

Alright, until the next post! ( I think it'll be SD BuCUE XD)

One day in [U]niversiti [T]eknologi [P]etronas


Before I start this post, I linked the title to this song



Okay, not related at all..... because the only thing similar is the title.

In the previous blogpost-I Am A Lone Wolf, I thought I was all alone. Well, that isn't the case on Monday. A buddy of mine actually got the offer too. Hence, we became 'Duo-Wolves' XD

The 'journey' started at 7am. Reached UTP in about 45 minutes, which is 7.45am. There were already a long long queue for registration. Found my friend in the crowd, and I registered faster than he does...( Buddy Teong, don't hit me ~.~ )

Then, the 'Majlis Perasmian' or Opening Ceremony started at around 8.30 am. It was delayed for a bit, since the registration took an hour......

UTP song
We 'sang' this song during the ceremony LOL. ( I thought it'd be National Anthem first?)

Then, let the speeches begin! After some major bla bla bla ( some were interesting though ), it's time to separate the groups. Teong and me were in Group C, Group A and B would go for interview first, while Group C and D would stay in the Chancellor Hall for ' career briefing' ( which I grouped it as another bla bla bla section , but the lecturers were really nice and good in speaking too.)

After the briefing, it's already 12pm. Had our lunch under tents they prepared. The foods were quite good and delicious compared with the one prepared for students in other places...

Then, Group C candidates got 'hold' in the holding room until 1.30pm. We got our case studies( AD PAYS) in Preparation Room.... So...time to get the brains running. In the room, we had to choose our group/ panel.
I thought they were going to separate us, placing us separately. To my surprise, they actually let us chose our partners etc. There was only one rule, each group must have 3 boys and 2 girls. So, some members of those groups that did not meet the requirements got to 'exchange' with other groups. My group was consisted of me, Teong, 1 Malay boy from Penang, and  2 girls from Teluk Intan , Perak. ( too bad I didn't take their Facebook =[  )

After the preparation time was over, we moved to another room ( they call is as another stage lol). We wait for the panel to call us for the interview.

We were supposed to do our individual interview first, followed  by the group interview. Our group is so special we did our interviews altogether XD This is a good thing though, since the more the merrier( lol what?) Nonono, we had more courage when there were more people by our sides. We got an 'ice-breaking' session too... I don't know if other groups have this session or not. We just went in there, and do the talking. We got 2 interviewers, and they were both very nice. Although we spoke like mad people... bad grammars and sentence structures everywhere, they still listened to use patiently ( although one of them looks like very tired in the end of the session.)

Another benefit is, our session is probably shorter compared to other group. They had to call the members one by one, and then discuss the same things all over again in group interview. Since we already knew each other's points during the individual interview, our group session... was very short, relatively. I didn't know how to do a conclusion...so I just conclude all our points and asked ' do you agree with bla bla bla ' . Since we already knew the points, all of them agree...without any objection XD The interviewers were just like 'Okay?'  and wanted to fall asleep already.

Thus, the interview was the only important event throughout the day. After that, all of us left the building and I headed straight to my home with my dad...( He drove me to there and waited for me . Thank you dad! )

I didn't really take much photos....but I'll see if I could find one. ( probably form the web or from my friends)

Angry Bird-The Black Bomber!


Personally, this is my favourite 'mass-destructing-weapon' in the game. It is tanky, has high penetration power and it can SELF DESTRUCT! Don't you just love this mean black bird? ( Beware, I see one flying just above you...)

I am a LONE WOLF......

I just got an invitation letter ( through the website utp.edu.my ) to EduCamp 2012. Why do I feel lonely? Because 2 of my friends are in EduQuest Camp right now! See the difference?

Personally, I do feel that EduQuestCamp is more meaningful for me, not because I'd have 2 buddies in the programme, but EduCampQuest is for those who are eligible to get the scholarships. While I have no reason to tag myself or my family as 'RICH', I really need the money if I want to enter UTP.

EduCamp is only for those who are interested to study in UTP, while the expenses( definitely not Cheap!) are going to be paid by yourself ......

I'm still hesitating to attend the programme but for the sake of experience...I think I'll give it a shot, albeit a long one.

Angry Bird-Red

 It's time for the main character in Angry Birds----- The RED one!

Personally, I don't like this bird. While it's common, it does not do anything special =P

It's the DAY!

Hi guys. It is D-Day , today. SPM result is coming out, in less than 2 hours !( perhaps the results are already in principal or whoever-in-charge's hand)

Procrastination is mankind's biggest enemy. I had been planning to do a quick analysis since last year...... but it's so hard to move on to the typing stage. So, it's time to end it!

Basically, practice makes perfect. So, practice more to get better result.

Science Subjects
Physics

Physics is my favourite subject among the Science subjects. It explains why things happen.

And, that's why you'll need some imagination to visualize the process. When you can 'see' the process, like a video in your brain, you are nearly halfway through the progress.

Next, try to understand why does a scenario happen in the 'video'. Split it into several parts, or much better, into points. (which is how markers give marks to your answers) Relate your 'parts' with another parts. Try to visualize the whole process and make sure you know what you are talking about, not memorizing the entire paragraph, since you'll be panicking when you are in the hall sitting for exam, and you can't really memorize all of the words. The words will just become jumbled up and make no sense at all.

Chemistry

Hmm...... Not my favourite, but it is still okay. Maybe it is because of the way of education. Memorize, memorize, memorize and spill it all out during exam, then you have none left inside   =_=

My teacher said, the chapter Salt is feared by students. They are confused in this chapter. Many experiments have to be 'memorized', many compounds have to be memorized and much much more.

I could only share techniques to remember the colour of  certain ions, which is, by doing experiments.

FOCUS when you are doing lab works, because you won't have that much chances to enter the lab.(at least for me, as the syllabus does not really require experiments, unless you have plenty of time) Learning by visual images is much more efficient than pure text, which is why they suggest students to draw pictures about the topic, or use a flow chart. Observe the colour for each compound and the changes after the reaction.

I wasn't realised about this and i can't catch up to what the teacher was saying during the experiment. The colour changes during oxidation and reduction reaction were memorized. It was after I joined a Chemistry Experiment Programme( could not remember the name..... was in BM, Hari Kimia or something like that) I started to think about the ways of learning Chemistry. I observed how Iron(II) ions changed to brown colour (Iron (III) now) so fast, and the teacher said, it was such a beautiful green colour, but it changed so fast.

And, same technique as Physics, split the process (  for example the Industrial processes) into names, parts and points. Materials and physical requirements such as temperature and air pressure are also important.
A funny name for this is 'divide and conquer', as your brain would not be stuck with a truckload of information from various subjects at the same time.

Biology

Some of my friends actually like Biology, but they can't score well. Now, they are taking Biology related courses in college.

Personally, I hate Biology. Sometimes, I was fascinated by the pictures and knowledge in comic books (not text book nor reference books), but just after I realised I live in the real world...I lost my mood to study.

Actually, same technique could be used for all three subjects, but I was not motivated. The points of the answers are not clearly divided like the other two subjects. They are more like an article to me and do not have anyway to clean out the useless words.

The most important aspect for me is to completely understand all the topics. Don't just leave it there or skip it. Try to understand it with the help from your teachers and friends.

Science subjects for now..... Other subjects? Depends on my level of procrastination. :D

( kindly point out my mistakes or add in relevant info here because it has already been three months since the exam. I am regretting now T_T)

A new cabinet!

Phew. Just finished 'building' a sliding panel cabinet.

Watching the cabinet, a sudden sense of satisfaction just appear in myself.

Anyway, there's a second one lying in the room ready to be set up orz....

I don't have anymore energy to move my legs, but typing is still okay!

What am I up to

Hmmm, been building this at the same time with my Rayquaza...

It seems like its progress is now faster than the green dragon.

Now, it's time to start the Backpack!


The waist part. 
Never thought that taking photos of each part could give such sense of satisfaction .
( Sorry for the blur photo. This was taken using my phone .__.)

p/s It is a SD Strike Freedom papercraft, in case you don't know Gundam XD
