I made it a point today to look for better beads to be used as studs in my gunpla.
Preferably those that have a more metallic finish.
So I went to Spotlight @ Plaza Singapura to check it out.
After a long search, I found this pack of beads.
There're a few types available and at different prices too.
Some are sorta hexagonal in shape while others are shinier.
Their prices range from S$3.99 to S$17.99!
The one I bought is the cheapest @ S$3.99.
As an additional bonus, it gave me great comfort to know that they're made in Japan.
They're approximately 1.5mm in diameter.
Woo......see how shiny they are......
Now don't they look like these:
From here: Traffic Alone
Apparently, these studs costs 500yen/10pcs!
That'll be S$6.99!!!
Then I headed to Art Friend @ Taka in search of some inspiration to improve the nexustand.
A pack of 4 nuts&bolts to be used on the bottom of the stand where the bendy wire(with screw threads) can be secured upon.
But the nut was too big for the threaded aluminium wire core of the bendy wire.
Hence it can't fit.
Luckily, these four nuts&bolts could still be used as decorative bolts at the four corners of any stand with a base that is of a minimium thickness of 6mm.
A pack of rivets to be inserted onto the open end of the nexustand.
It says 3mm but it can't fit onto the 3mm core of the bendy wire.
What a waste of money. It costed me 5 bucks!!!
