Well well well well well.....

Ladies and gentlemen and modelers!!!
A sudden change of plans!!!!
A welcomed changed i guess.

Now i dont have to build three more models in order to sell them.... i can sell them NOW!!
Here's the story.

I brought the Artilleriewagen down to M Wrokshop yesterday and he liked it! Then i sat down.. started to superdetail it (i created really really minute handlebars). Then before i left the shop... which was about 10:30pm, I grabbed one kit i was lookin forward to build since day one. The Sd. Kfz. 222. I got home an hour and a half later.. fixed the kit and completed it at 3am.

Woke up at one pm the next day, cleaned all the mould lines.... fixed the little bitty bits.... and primed it. There... COMPLETED the build!!! Brought it down to M Workshop at around 6 pm.

I came in.... usual talks.... politics.. then i took out my Sd Kfz 222. Nad he looked at it... gave his approval and suddenly said,"I think we can sell this after its completed."

THERE!!! SOON!!! HOPEFULLY!!!! ANOTHER NEW CHAPTER IN MY MODELING LIFE!!! WHOO!!!! I hope to really be a professional modeler then WIN COMPETITIONS AND PROMOTE MODELING TO EVERYONE!!!!

WHOOO!!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!

The Deal....

I brought my newly painted KV-2 down to M Workshop today and Bernard was SHOCKED! He just LOVED the many different shadings of green on the tank. It so happened i also brought down the Sherman and my improved diorama base (the one that ugly Zero was on). Immediately he sat down.. took out some turpentine and oil paints and started teaching me more about washes and drybrushing (man... drybrushing is a pain.).... and it wasnt even my lesson!!!

I wont say the KV2 was good or anything.... i'll leave that to you when i post up pictures soon enough.

So today he cut me a deal. The deal is... he'll give my three models to complete. Let me rephrase that... to OFFICIALLY complete. He has signed me up for the intermediate course. BUT.... I dont have to pay the fees of SGD$250.... yet. AFter my third model... when he has passed on most of his skills to me... He would give me a brand name... and post up my subsequent models for SALE. In addition.. I will be regarded as one of his artists. And with the money i make through selling.... that is how i will pay him the fees. Self-sufficency. Wow... such a big deal. Literally. Last month i was just another pitiful modeller and now im an artist-trainee. I am fortunate to be blessed by God to chance upon M Workshop and the people working in it and for that certain talent He has given me.

Thank you, God. I mean it.

So there.. you witnessed it LIVE.... a new chapter in my modeling life.

Currently i am halfway through with the basic bulding of my first official model, the Panzerpähwagen (Artilleriewagen). It has an odd shape somewhat. Pictures coming soon!!!

Stay posted!!! Stay on your toes!!!

Have you ever wanted to improve your modelling skills in very big jumps?
Have you ever wanted to achieve that ATTENTION GRABBING balance between a realistic and artistic model?
Have you ever wanted to use high-standard modeling equipments and be surrounded by real modeling artists who actually SELL their models at a price never less than 200US dollars?

Now you can.

The M Workshop offers courses on modeling ranging everything from Armour to Gundam to Figurines. I attended this course myself. It may not sound like a wise idea. But it is. I am GLAD that i DID attend this course! In just FIVE DaYS, i finished an entire Sherman tank; wheathering and mud on tracks included and modeling has now become so clear to me that i actually stripped down my KV2 and repainted the whole things and wheathered it in only.... i emphasize.... ONLY.... .....TWO DAYS!!!

I'll show you pictures on how much the course has actually IMPROVED my modelling skills.

Personal guidance from a many-award-winning modeler, Bernard Cher, (who actually has been personally coached by one of the TOP TEN modelers in the WORLD, Calvin Tan) has clarified almost EVERY doubt that i had in modeling! TRULY! I AM NOT LYING!! With his team of WORLD STANDARD artists... your modeling skills would NEVER slack!

You can contact M Workshop at www.themworkshop.com .

Go sign up for the courses. They're worth EVERY dollar.
