My Neighbour Totoro

I know I've been lazy updating this blog. There are many reasons for that. The first one is I got promoted to higher position in my office so I can no longer have the free time to update this blog as often as usual. The second one, this month especially for PERI community there are no news or activity to covered from exhibition or workshop.

So I used my spare time to watch this wonderful anime My Neighbour Totoro (1988) directed by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki. It was so wonderful that after I watched the movie I began to search for the TOTORO paper model . And I finally find it, and if you are as curious as I am you can download it in here. Hmm, I bet my daughter will be delighted to see me bring this model when I came to visit my family again in Bandung.

PERI Paper Model Coaching Clinic (Photo Report)

The first PERI Paper Model Coaching Clinic went quite well, the participants exceed our full capacity (41 people came to this event). Concept Magazine as the host overwhelmed  by the participants spirits. Although it's heavy rain and the traffic jam was very bad (these two things made me came late to this event) the event finally took off from 6.30 pm, 30 minutes off the scheduled 6 pm. Actually I can made it on time if my friend who supposed to took me there showed up, but he didn't. So poor me I have to take the taxi and you can guess how bad is Jakarta traffic jam while it's heavy raining. Big thanks to Rino Liha, Anto, Beta, Roi,Chris and Imam who helped me by tutoring all the participants. I guess this one is not the end, cause we will meet again in 2 months time for another great Coaching Clinic like this. All the picture credit goes to ROI and thanks for uploading it.  P.S: Boys and girls please don't try this at home for the latest picture, it's very bad for your paper model.

Gift for My Self

On August 16th after I placed my order in papermodelstore.com I received my first commercial paper model. It took me about USD 20 for the goods and delivery charge from Chicago,USA to my office in Jakarta,Indonesia. The model was one of my favorite tanks from GPM called PANTHER. Obviously after made this step my hobby is getting more serious. It's not just one way to pass spare time anymore. Maybe some one would appreciate more by maybe buying the completed models from me.
Speaking about gift, I also have a little gift for all may blog readers. Just an update on my vast paper model collection, you can see it below this list.

PERI @ Inspirasi Dorce Trans 7

On August 17th 2010, PERI had a small gathering at Rizky's house in Pasar Rebo. Actually I kind of lazy to go there, but because many of PERI member would like to see my first commercial paper model that I recently bought from the Internet so I dragged my self there. Arriving at Rizky's house around 9 AM the house is already crowded with many PERI member with their models also. Rauf said that the shooting will take place around 12 AM and meanwhile we're waiting I showed off my GPM Nr 40 that I bought from papermodelstore.com. Inspirasi Dorce was a morning variety show host by "unique" Dorce Gamalama. The shooting went very well and because of the rain I stayed till afternoon waiting the rain to came off. But I'm happy I dragged my self there, because Rizky gave me his old military plastic models that he longer want to build. Thanks again bro, and for many coverage photos you can visit perikertas.com article in here. 

PERI Gathering @ Solaria Sky Dining Plaza Semanggi

 

It's almost a year from our first gathering back in September 2009 at Plaza Semanggi Food Court. So PERI Jabodetabek gathered again to refreshed their mind and to share some new tips and tricks in paper model design and building. On August 7th 2010 we gathered in Solaria Sky Dining at 10th floor at top of Plaza Semanggi, Jakarta. It was fun, because this gathering we don't have to discuss about event or exhibition. So it just a fun gathering and we can have a lot to discuss, especially the upcoming one year of our community. But it does really made me surprise that one year ago we established this community and right now PERI had already member from many cities around Indonesia.
The theme for this gathering is MILITARY paper model,many member including myself brought their models. And the star of this gathering was Jules 1:1 scale SVD Sniper Rifle. It was made by Rauf and as by the picture above held by Bobby, another military freak in our forum. But I wasn't be able to attend the gathering till the end, because I have to go to my family in Bandung. So in the last picture I didn't appeared.
For other picture taken at the event, you can visit perikertas.com photo album in here     

My Latest Military Paper Model

The pictures above are my latest military paper model, taken by Mr Adhiwardhana on our last PERI Jabodetabek Gathering on August 07,2010.

But, at least I will learn from my mistakes and becoming more proficient in paper model building. To share my knowledge and experience on Diorama buildings, I have wrote an article about it in here. So please check it out.
