GSC Senjougahara Hitagi 1/8
What arrived today is Good Smile Company's Senjougahara Hitagi. She was released this year in January and was on sale at AmiAmi over a month ago. So after 40 days in transit, she's finally here. I bet everyone who follows a bunch of figure blogs is tired of pictures of her already. But I don't get figures often, so here's a bunch of pictures of Hitagi.
1/8 Steins; Gate Makise Kurisu (Kotobukiya)
My latest figure acquisition is Kotobukiya's 1/8 scale Makise Kurisu from Steins; Gate which arrived this morning. I do feel a bit guilty for not having followed the series this season but it's on my plan to watch list for later. I took a little more time for doing the photos and it wouldn't be quite as bad if I wasn't too lazy to iron the background \o/ (I'll do that next time).
How can people wait to take a photo of their monthly loot? Whenever a packet arrives I want to rip it open right away.
Youmu Konpaku Nendoroid
Here's some half-assed pictures of unpacking Youmu (still trying to figure out how to handle the camera and all). I was in hurry that day which didn't help and I'm not very patient with blogging now (exam and paper deadline in a week! I've tried to push everything behind that date that could be delayed so workload is not gonna stop anytime soon). We actually have been trying out a lot of new things lately but we were mostly too lazy do document everything. Hopefully we can do that later sometime.
Chen 1/8 Trepang
It's been a while since my last GK gallery post but the weather is improving and I can finally work outside which makes it all more enjoyable. So mayble I'll actually get something done. This time it looks like I'm running out of kits, there's one kit waiting to be finished and a few preordered (no idea when they're going to be released). I've waited for Chen about a year too, E2046 has a wide range of kits but that also means you have to wait quite long for a kit which is not so popular.
Chen is an easy kit with few parts but mind you, building GKs is a lot of work nonetheless so I've spend a full week building her.
A more detailed WIP post will follow tomorrow although I don't have as many photos as I'd like to have. I just happen to be too lazy when messing with tools and paint to wash my hands and fetch the camera.
So today here's Chen's gallery for you to enjoy

DIY Ebook-Reader Cover (and how to choose a good ereader!)
I've always wanted a own EBook-Reader to read, well, mainly manga - the Sony PRS-650 Eefi's got is just gorgeous, it has all features that you can wish for in a good reader, everything in the firmware is just right - it's (speed)-optimized till the end, eats next to no battery (i suspect this is not some "general purpose" OS but a highly specialized firmware), the hardware is appropriately fast, very rugged and well-built - no gaps and whatnot to see!
If you want a Ebook-Reader just as good at a lower price you're gonna suffer - here are my experiences...
Reimu’s Hat
Okay so I bought this straw hat last summer for a few Euros. I've always wanted one but it looks kind of plain....
Time for hat modding! o/
Say hi to the KanojoFrame!
Hi and welcome to a new full fledged (i at least hope so) tutorial to hack together a fast-switch picture frame, our so-called "KanojoFrame". As i must admit the idea is not fully genuinely ours, we designed and built it with the moo-frame from the excellent business-card supplier moo.com: Moo Mosaic-Frame.
The idea is to have a frame thats front glass plate is dismount- and mountable in the glimpse of a eye thus allowing to change the contents without too much of a hassle. The other aspect is that the whole content of the frame is made up of a mosaic of mini-pictures framed by small but thick cardboard frames. You can then use cardboard spacer to lay the small framed image-"cards" (moo.com are half business cards, ours are roughly creditcard-size) out in every way you want to create a nice compilation of the works displayed!
The frame itself is quite flat, 6mm without glass, rougly 8.5mm with the glass front attached. The glass it held by a couple of strong rare-earth magnets and sits very tight, so no worries about falling glass. The inner frame can hold around 7*3(=21) of our cardboard-mini-frames, but ... see for yourself! And if you feel like it, make one yourself....
1/8 GSC Inaba Yui
The latest addition to my figure collection is Inaba Yui from eroge Flyable Hearts, 1/8 scale made by Good Smile Company. Figure renditions of less popular works of Ito Noizi are few and far between so I was convinced in an instant when she was for sale. A figure of an image of my favorite artist? Yes please!
Her prototype pictures were impressive and although you can't compare my amateur pictures to those, the final product is not quite as good as the prototype (usually GSC does a pretty good job..). But I got her from the bargain bin so what can I say..
Let's start by taking a look at the package first.
Meronpan + Stuff
Every weeaboo has to try making meronpan at one point or another. In fact I've tried it three times now. The first time we had an awful recipe, the second time I've tried making the recipe better (which didn't help) and this time it looks like we're on the right track.
We've used Wild Yeast's recipe - if you want to try it yourself we can definitely recommend it.
