Ganda! Why oh why dont I ever build German armor?
Very nice mesh you used on this one. Why spend on photo etch when you can make your own upgrades? Great work!

Thanks guys....now for the mesh,
It was bought in Landmark and there are several sizes with different colors and flower decorations (camo?). The cost range from P7-13. Its like a plastic screen (interwoven). If you plan to use it be careful in cutting kasi baka maghiwahiwalay. Suggestion, use masking tape for the shape first, then dikit nyo sa screen para meroon pattern.....

Landmark din pala tambayan mo for upgrades. Once naghahanap ako dun ng sanding sticks. While I was debating which brand to get, dumating si Heart Evangelista at naghanap din ng manicure stuff. Lahat ng tao nakatingin sa kanya pero ako dedma. Isip siguro ng mga tao: "bulag ata 'tong manicuristang bading na 'to!" Baka one of these days magkita pa tayo dun kung mag-grocery kami ng asawa ko 
Anyway, I got my flowery plastic mesh purse! My wife had an extra purse and she gave me one. Thanks for the masking tape tip! Isip ko rin paano di maghiwalay ang weave kasi mukhang di sya nakadikit sa katabing strands. Try ko spray ng konting future din para dumikit.

Si Heart! Daym! Ba't di mo kinuhanan ng pic! Arrrghh!
BTW, patingin naman ng itsura ng mesh na yan (yung bagong bili pa). Di ko kasi alam kung ano yan talaga eh.

Si Heart lang eh. Pero kung si Diana Zubiri or si Juliana Palermo yun, that's another story hehe.
Will try to take pics of my purse tonight.

Jeep: You said sanding sticks...you can buy a dozen for P6.00 in divisoria -- the grit is probably between 600 - 800. Pareho siya ng ginagamit nga manicurist in a typical parlor...its not branded. I myself bought 2 dozens the last time I was there....hanggang ngayon isa pa rin ang nagagamit ko...

Sige kung mapadpad kami sa Divisoria one of these days. Thanks! 
Ito yung mesh na bigay sa akin ng wife ko. Di ko alam magkano kasi bigay lang din daw sa kanya. Are you using the same type? Complete with flowers pa.

Ayyyiii!!! Sinalvage nyo lang pala yan :-)! Cool! BTW, matigas ba yan? Baka kasi kasinglambot yan ng Tamiya screens.

Parang cheap na plastic strainer ang lambot nya. Di siguro kaya compound curves.

Yup that's exactly the same as what I am using except for the flowers...mine comes in smaller white flowers ang cute ahhhhy....same cost P13.00. As mentioned before use masking tape before cutting para di maghiwalay...Its harder and thicker than the tamiya screen that comes with the kit...
