I'm sorry for the previous entry, there was too much that i would like to write, but in the end my mind just got mix up with a lot of other things as well.

Life as usual, sucks. LOL. It would be good tho if there was a girl who could actually give me the strength to face this all like my ex, sai, used to give to me. Talking about sai, she will get engage in march 2012, i cant be more happy than that.

Modding.

Throughout the years, i have been progressing a lot. I started with some basic knowledge in electronics, then i learned the correct technique of advance soldering, lastly i develop my own skills by using the knowledge and technique that i have gain.

Most technician, they obtain money through repairs. The reason i like modding so much is because we constantly try to learn something new, pushing our capabilities to new heights. last year i learned about paintings, this year i will learn about doing 3D drawing,  sculpting, fiberglass and mold bodywork.

There's a lot of modding work that i have to finish, and here are some of them.

i will start with 2 psp 1st, 1 is for arif musa, this will be an easy mod. just green trims and some leds.

for the 1k psp the trims will be green, and for the manchester united psp2k trims is going to be white, the owner requested it to be white, i prefer it to be red tho :)

the first thing you need to do before doing any paintwork, you have to sand the surface. Now what people usually get it wrong is that they think we sand it to get rid of the old paint. The real reason we sand it is to make the surface course enough for the new paint to hold on to. The best way to sand is by using the wet sanding method. I usually use soap water.

finish sanding.

now usually people paint the trims they would also do the UMD door mod. If the owner don't want to do the umd door mod, spraying the ring with the same color as the trim is a must.

FYI, sony use a double sided tape to attach the rings to the umd door. The best way to take off the rings is by heating it up with a hot air blower, then poke it out using a flat sharp knife.

here is a short video.


to sand the ring, i find its easier to put it on a flat suface.

after finish sanding it, rinse of with water.

to spray very small stuff like this trims, gundam parts and etc, the best way to do it is by sticking it to a bamboo stick, by this way you can rotate the parts in any way you want it, making its easier to reach hard places.

i use a glue gun to stick it to the parts.

to dry the parts, i would really recommend using clay, but i cant find any at the moment, so i just use whatever i can find at the moment.

and thats how you paint the trims :)
tomorrow i will be updating more on clear coating the trims and whatever i could finish. probably will be doing the leds.

im thinking of making a better design for this figurine stand, this was my first work, and i learned a lot of stuff when making it, im pretty sure i could do a better one. i will keep this project in mind.

as usual. thank you for reading. :)
