About
Hello stranger, welcome here and thanks for your interest!
I've been an anime fan since 2001 and started collecting figures around 2008 when I got my first student jobs.
As much as possible I like to get at least one representative figure from most of the shows or books I liked. As a result I tend to avoid getting too many figures of a single character, I usually only select figures that have the best quality and are the most faithful to the original illustration or design. This way I can save some budget for more franchises... but on the other hand I'm also a maniac and I like to complete a set when I start it so boom, goes the money... ^^;
I'm also a very active DIYer. I love to repair, craft and improve stuff!
I do painting, sculpting, carving, gluing, sewing, molding, resin casting and many more things.
I regularly share my techniques here on MFC and try as best as I can to provide help and advice to users who need to build or fix things. Feel free to contact me if you think I can be of help. You can also check out my blog articles and others from the DIY Club if you'd like some inspiration to get crafty.

Also this guy! ^
I just NEED his gear!
(well I already have it all but not in such a cool, handy box!) ^^

View spoilerHey there. I saw your post about repairing a coldcast statue. I just got this item: ITEM #87067
I found her for an amazing price, but she was so cheap because she had a few flaws. The biggest is that some tips of her hair in back are broken off. You can't notice it from the front, but it's obvious from the back.
I'm looking for someone to help fix her, and I think you'd do a good job... but you're all the way in France, and shipping her there from the US would probably cost more than I paid for her!
So, do you know of anyone in the USA who does similar repair work? If so, could you give me their contact details?
Thank you!
Shipping to France is indeed expensive but also terribly risky. Being so brittle, coldcast statues do not like traveling.
Unfortunately I don't know for certain of anyone that does repairs like this in the US. Your best bet would be to prowl the forums in search of a garage kit artist that also accepts commissions for repairs.
Also, user Muntoe may be able to point you to some contacts.

Thank you for your comment to my room, I am always very pleased it.
The tendrils on the cupboards grow like weeds and hardly need care.
The big bamboo is by the way artificial and was here to get: www.amazon.de/g...
An artificial keeps itself better in the apartment, after I have already ruined 2 attempts.
regards Quicky

Speaking of skills you have to teach me! Ha I have a few things I NEED to mold, as well as I wouldn't mind helping people too!
Sure, don't hesitate to ask.
Speaking of which, I should really take some time to translate some of my G+ posts and make them public here on MFC because they would make for nice tutorials.

Okay, actually just after I had sent you the package I thought to myself: "Hey, but maybe I should have advised him to contact Good Smile for a replacement first, that'd have been probably better than my knockoff. Why didn't we think of that? Oh well, too late..."
But now I get it, turns out you had thought of it and already gotten one from GSC previously and now you could hardly ask them twice.
Anyway thanks again for the shout-out. You make it sound like it was such a big deal on my part but I assure you it was nothing. I mean, when I saw your post, I already had the parts, the skills, the time, the tools and the materials on hand so I had NO reasonable excuse whatsoever not to lend a hand. ^^
Besides it made for good practice for the times when I need to craft parts to fix broken figures.
