劉備
this is one of my 21st bday present that i've received from the guys, and it's one of my favorite since i've been longing for a toy as my present for a pretty long time XD
well here i am talking about something i did that made me feel really good.
there will always be a time where you do something that maybe you've haven't done in a long time, something that you used to enjoy doing but in the process of life, you somehow managed to forget about that important thing that you used to do.
lately i've found back that feeling and that something that i used to really love doing, and it's obviously have something to do with toys ^^
i truly believe that in every guy, there lives a little boy inside that will never ever disappear, even how old you grow or how long time passes, there will always be a boy in every man's heart.
i've been in contact with the boy in me lately and i like the feel of it.
it has been too long since i've done something with effort, with perseverance and most importantly, with passion.
this little guy(robot actually) that i did proved that deep down in me, i still love to play my toys, whether it's big or small cheap or expensive, i would put all i can into it if i'm really interested.
don't believe me?
apart from all the collections that the guys given me(all 6 of them), i've bought colourings and tools amounting to RM150++, and for this first attempt to build the lil guy, i've taken 3 days plus to finish it, and it's just one of the 8 i have! (i myself have bought another 2 from the collection XD)
here's the process of the 3 days in making "劉備":
1st day,
here's the lil guy naked, without any of his armour and weapons, this is the first part i did when assembling the robot.
notice that there are black lines surrounding some of its body parts, all of it is drawn by me using a special marker pen, it's actually to make it look more real with certain sections of it needing to be darker than the others.
this i may say is one of hardest "drawing" i've ever ever done.
i remember the first line i drawn on it my hands was trembling like shit, sooooo long din practice the artistic side of me edy suddenly wanna draw stuffs, memang expected la...
then apart from drawing with the marker, i also had to find my confidence in handling the paint brush again, since there is also a lot of painting involved if really wanna make it look nice. note the gold colour part of his feet, it's the first paint i did on the lil guy, and yes my hands were shaking as hell with the initial touch... XD
"i'm warning you, don't mess with me!!!" XD
2nd day,
din't make much progress in the second day, bcuz my painting skills haven't fully returned yet, so i was kinda slow with all the paintings, only managed to finish his helmet and some part of his upper armour.
3rd day,
finally, after 3 days of hard work, 劉備is finally ready to be displayed proudly ^^P
after this project, i've realized some certain things needed to keep in mind when undergoing a model making.
first is that making a model is not hard, but it is the painting and decorating of the model that is bloody difficult.
then in order to make it decently nice, one must possess a certain degree of artistic ability, and a pair of stable hands.
after finishing the whole thing, i realized that drawing the lines is harder than painting the certain part that needs painting. the margin for error in drawing lines is so much smaller if compared with painting the colours, hence the added concentration needed when doing so.
here's more pictures of it (PS:click on the pictures to view a better quality of it),

now the lil' dude is up on my desk, and everytime i look at it i would surely feel a deep sense of satisfaction...
i guess this is what i'll get for doing the stuffs i love ^^
next up, i got 7 more to go~~
so bloody excited XD
