The photogenic idolisation of pixel, plastic and nonsense

OTL Sorry guys about the lack of updates, been busy yadda yadda~ Point is, I got a whole bunch of stuff to show you guys soon, and just in time for the xmas holiday :D Wanna know what’s going to happen? Read on!

Yesterday, I got a second set of parcels from Japan from my friend, who’s generous enough to spend some of his busy time, from tutoring the school girls and tutoring the school boys, to get me some items of utmost importance :3
Today’s post will be a quick run through of the items I got in the two parcels~

Today, I got what I wanted for a whiiillee~
I have a friend who’s staying in Japan for a year on the JET program (teaching english etc). Now, he’s also a fairly obsessive otaku and a kind one at that, he’d get stuff that I wanted from Japan that would otherwise be unavailable, or too costly for me to get.Today two packages came in the mail from him :3
This is all the things he managed to get for me during that whole summer event period in Japan, I wish I had given him more money…
Again, apologies for crappy indoor shots~

A quickie, New poll is up. Judging from the previous poll, 1600×1200 sized photos are fine with you guys, so I’ll keep it like that :3
I’ve been wondering if I should put a tutorial on weathering small trading figures such as Mecha Musume to make them look more “real”. Some techniques should be familiar to military modelers and to a lesser extent Gunpla modelers. The new poll will be asking if you want to see a series of short and sweet tutorials, I’m not an expert either but I’d like to help if I can.
In terms of future updates, Manifest is around the corner, and I’ll be taking some of my figures to take photos around the beautiful Melbourne University campus. You see, Manifest is my excuse >.>
Anyone else going to Manifest? Or is there anything else you’d like to ask about the possible Mecha Musume tutorials?

For those that don’t know, the comment icons in which users can choose are from Shimada Humikane’s works, most of which are Mecha Musume.
Now I know not all of you are fans of the icons so I added a bunch more, all from Ushi’s (CWGP) artwork which is very cute :3
Anyone with a postcount of one can register an icon here so remember to pick one after you posted~
