Purazuma Houriki Mokei – Aisaka Taiga
This is one of the kits I've always wanted (even before picking up painting GKs as a hobby). The sculptor Abira is really talented and has produced a bunch of Toradora (among others) figures that I all love to have. So more are bound to follow if I can ever get my hands on some kits of his!
Taiga here was painted using Mr. Hobby Colors and I especially like how her dress turned out. The many layers of frills have a little purple shading on them. I'm happy that it seems like I'm rally improving. 
Usually I stick to round acrylic transparent bases but this time I sort of copied the background colors of the original artwork that belongs to this kit.
“This Website is distributing Malicious Software” … not anymore!
Hello everyone,
sadly after playing with some plugins it seemed that somehow a bit of potentially malicious code entered the blog. It was appended on all themese footer.php and i'm currently trying to investigate (and asking the wordpress guys over at WordPress-Support) which plugin it was and how it injected the code.
Upon a quick analysis of the code it seemed that no harm was done - it connected to a site transmitting no data whatsoever. !So it didn't actually harm anything! (as far as i could see...).
The matter is now resolved, and even the google Malicious-Code-Check doesn't raise a alarm anymore ...
Sorry for any inconvenience caused!
QuickHack: Vibration-Table for resin casting
As we're trying to set out to custom-cast resin figures i've built a one-evening-hacked vibration table as a first step for (hopefully!) successful room-pressure casting.
Rubik’s Cube Tissue Box, Take Two [NOW FOR SALE]
As some of you asked about whether those rubix cube tissue boxes which seem famous after a repeated appearance in a recent episode of "The Big-Bang Theory" were for sale we summed up all the components, added just a little for the time i'd work on it and unfortunatly it seemed like the price wasn't very satisfying.
But we didn't give up and started investigating new, cheaper methods of batch-building those nifty little tissue-cubes. Lucky for us we found a way using a well manufactured premade tissue box made from sturdy cardboard. The results can be seen here:
GSC Bakemonogatari – 1/8 Hanekawa Tsubasa
This is a special unboxing post because I forced NebuK to take the pictures for me this time. xp
I rarely preorder a figure these days but this was one I could not miss~.
Raid system – 8TB home storage, on budget!
With the advent of higher definition Television, growing demand for high quality lossless audio as well as general madness the need for a reliable as well as flexible and large home storage solution grew rapidly for me. Just hammering more disks into your home router / server just won't nail it over the long term. So i've set out to build a cheap (per TB), (hopefully) longlasting as well as reasonably reliable home storage system for the enthusiast (read: "tinkering geek"). This was achieved using a custom made case for the parts as well as a lucky find for the adapter card. Read on for more...
Simple selfmade Ramen, take one!
A little while ago i've set out 
to create simple yet tasty ramen which could be cooked in (almost) any western (especially german) kitchen. As some unsuccessfull experiments showed this wasn't too easy.
I've also burdened me with some constraints - it should require as little "active chef time" as possible. There are some things you can't change, amongst them that a good broth needs time to simmer. The second was that i've tried to use as few "exotic" ingredients as possible.
The result, which can be seen to our left, is neither great nor bad - but its a good start, not too pricey as well as not too complex.
GSC Snow Miku Nendoroid
My long awaited Snow Miku arrived today, brought by Enekoneko (thanks for proxy-ing for me ;A;!!). She was released back at WonFes Winter this year. Being a GSC Online Shop Exclusive, you had to pay a proxy to get her. At last, GSC's own shop accepts international orders now as well.
PulseAudio for analog/spdif hell – so simple, yet you have to know…
When it comes to a flexible audio setup Alsa starts to suck ... hard. If you want output mainly on S/PDIF (be it optical or coax), automatically upmixed to 5.1, then encoded to A52 so your receiver will eat it, but sometimes your general AC3-passthrough 5.1 movie, sometimes maybe even output to your regular analog output ... then its quickly becoming clear that ALSA is basically a driver framework, and not a end-user audio application. I found that most audio middlewares i've known sucked quite hard: Jack is too unuseable, arts or phonon never did their job, esound is kind of ... dead. So what's left? PulseAudio is left! Its setup seems very quirky to firsttime users and if you come with some strange distro-configuration (*cough*ubuntu*cough*) you may want to throw it against your wall ... but actually its super flexible and nice.
If you have a similar setup to mine - read on!
GSC Touhou Project – Cirno
The second part of my August loot. Here comes No. 9 of the Touhou Nendoroid line. GSC doesn't have any new ones announced so for now my collection is complete! They almost take up the space on one shelf by themselves.. I can fit another three but any more and I have to get creative. But it seems like this is not going to happen anytime soon.
Gallery behind the cut!
