My friend, its already here long ago!.

I have it sitting at my stash!...

The moment i opened up the kit, i know this is one goodie bag! It is a must have!

I'll fix this one up once i feel that my modelling skills have improved

btw, TMS restocked this kit 3 times... YES, THREE times! That's how hot this kit is. GO get it while its available!

Is it seriously that good?

How much is it priced now? I heard Dragon is having discounts for their new products maybe I might get it.

Hmm.. from what you say, it seems like a good deal to get those DML as soon as possible, before the discount ends.

Any one know if the discounts at TSM will end any time soon? Then i can find time to go down before it ends.

Morgan Hobby is at the 2nd level. Once you enter the building form the main entrance, turn left and go up the escalator. Morgan Hobby is found opposite this LEGO education centre. Walk around and you'll see it

Hope it helps

Opening hours : 1pm to 8pm (Mon - Sat)
1pm to 6pm (Sun / P.H.)

Putty, white cement used for patch works on walls. When i was in the army, i made that dio. As a platoon sergeant, i had to do bunk maintainance when there is a lull (no recruits intake) so i have to go around with all my section commanders and platoon commander for repair works, painting, refit. We had putty in the store for patch work, so i used some for the base snow, and white spray.
Rocks are granite chips, and the twigs are pieces that i pick up when i go jogging in Tekong and when my platoon goes outfield. You can get the same twigs and leaves at East Coast Carpark F2. Or just go into some trees, and pick underneath. They make very good fire starters by the way.

You don't need to buy snow. Just make them. There are many method. Angela a girl from the phillipines taught me how to make them with white glue water and baking powder.
