20th June, Aeronautical cup 2009(Airfixcup)
20th June Saturday was the prize presentation for the annual Airfix cup.
This third Airfix competition has seen more entries than before.The master class had more entries than the senior category. The standards have also been raised and its getting to be a more challenging competition year on year. Which is good news. This year it was held in Ngee Ann Polytechnic which I must say was much more professional compared to the two previous held at Singapore Airforce museum. I have two entries which did not win any prizes. Will try to build something bigger for next years event. Overall, the turn out of aircraft was fantastic, the event was won by an A-6 Prowler by Kee Wee(winner of the first Inaugral Airfix cup). I believe next year will be better.
Announcement of Actung Japan Hobby closing
The official announcement of closing the shop by sms from Nakamoto himself just 1 week before the Airfix cup. Was followed by panic and uncontrolled hoarding of kits from the shop for the last time. Various factions of the Clan members have come up with plans of taking over or co-ownership with Nakamoto till lease expires. Future fate of the shop remains unknown at this time of documentation.
Old school Roadie
Managed to aquire an entire old school Road bike with full Shimano 105 parts to start my retro build. Seems to be of Olmo origin judging from logo on fork. Can't wait to get started on rebuilding it with my new bought Pink Suntour Superbee frame!
