Borderline

Eureka!!! After relentlessly going through each line of the code I finally found the parameters to remove the borders.


I am contented for now.

Borderline

Today I have managed to install emoticons for my blog to liven it up a bit, hehe. Though, I am unable to remove the borders. I followed the instructions to the letter, but still the borders are visible.


Oh well, I guess this will do for the time being.

DIY Spray Booth

Aside from using CA glue for the acrylic sheets, I also used wood screws to attach the panels together as can be seen in the images. The second image shows the profile from the rear where the duct fan will be mounted.

Only a few parts to add and this spray booth will be good to go.


I will set this aside for the joints to "cure" first before proceeding to the next step which is to mount the duct fan and the flexible hose.

Whew! Its been a while since my last post, hehe. Quite a busy first quarter of 2009 for me. Anyway, my spray booth is almost finished and here are some progress pics for this project:




Above is the duct fan that I will be installing to the spray booth. It costs around P500 to P700 these days, not too small but not too big.




Here, I cut the edge of the rear panel at an angle to form a miter joint with the left and right acrylic panels to achieve the desired shape.





After making the necessary measurements, I cut the inside of the rear panel where the duct fan will be attached.





Time to assemble the panels, hehe. Using a variety of tools (electric drill, jigsaw, screwdriver) I was able to put all the pieces together. Making the acrylic sheets meet was the tricky part, hehe. Here I cut thin strips to reinforce the joints and used CA (CyanoAcrylic) glue, common brand is Mighty Bond and eventually all the parts were joined.




I have thought of adding angular aluminum sheets to reinforce the joint between the rear and bottom panel before attaching the duct fan, just to be sure.

A quick update on my spray booth project. I did a mock up for the wood panels to see if the dimensions are okay.

The next image shows the rear panel after cutting the hole for the exhaust fan that I will be using.

DIY Spray Booth

I am currently building a spray booth to replace the cardboard box that I have been using for several years now. The materials that I will be using are scrap plywood and acrylic sheets laying around the house, as seen above.


After making the necessary measurements and cutting the plywood into several panels using a portable jigsaw, I tried fitting the rear and bottom panel.

Barzam Sentinel Version

I have just received a reply from one of my favorite online shops (via email) regarding the conversion kit that I have been anticipating for a few months now. Its the plastic kit that can convert the MG RX-178 Mk II into the RMS-154 Refined Barzam which appeared in the Gundam Sentinel manga.

According to my contact, they still need to do some adjustments on the kit especially on the fitting issues. ETA should be early next year, if everything goes well.

Expect updates soon from AKO Hobby
