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.

Mini Marshmallow Roasting + Touhou Fanbook Loot

In celebration of the new compact camera I will now announce to throw in mini posts containg loot or other useless stuff more frequently! We’re trying so hard to post tutorials and everything but that ends up in not posting for half a year at all!

To be honest, that was my first time roasting marshmallows. I’ve been told they catch fire quickly but boy do they burn well!

Does it look pathetic to you roasting tiny marshmallows with a toothpick on a tea candle? Yeah? It does to me too. Butthetinymarshmallowsarecute..

Mina, Model-Kit Diary

As figures are somehow fun and so is tinkering. So how about combining those two? “Garage Modelkits” offer you the (IMO) nicest way of doing so. What you’ll get is a resin casted model in parts, you’ve gotta file it, grind it, polish it, paint it and glue it together. It takes up shitloads of your time, so be careful not to let that new hobby eat too much of your time – if you decide to try it / stick with it.

Anyways, we’ve (as in Eefi and NebuK :P) tried our first garage kit, Mina, from the Densha Otoko opening:

Mina, our first modelkit, finished 😛

As we’ve run into many problems, gear and methode wise, we thought we’d publish a small “buildlog” or “modelkit diary”. Mind you, this is by no means a guide or tutorial as we’ve only tried to find our way into the Resin Kit World :P. Still if you’re preparing to do your first kit this post may give you some kind of idea what you’re diving into.
