1/1 scale Gundam in Daiba, Tokyo

I went to Daiba, Tokyo to take photos of the Gundam. Fortunately, the day was very fine.

The below three photos are for mixing with other photos.

The photos in the below gallery are HUGE. Their size is 4608×3456, about 7MBytes large.

My camera is Nikon Coolpix S7000.

Unboxing Review: Suomalaistytto 1/6 Rinko in WWW ~changing the mode~

This is a resin kit from スオマライストゥットゥ (Suomalaistytto). 凛子 (Rinko) is a character in こころナビ (Kokoro Navi) from Q-X. I do not know this game, but I like her pose with two panels. This includes one manual and four pieces of photo as well as kit itself.

Unboxing Review: Kaiyodo 1/24 Reirei

Reirei is a character of Vampire Hunter. I bought her kit from Kaiyodo at a secondhand shop. The price was \480. This is extremely detailed.

Android Studio: Cannot execute aidl

When I built my Android application on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 in my amd64 machine with Andriod Studio, the Android Studio caused an error. The Andrdoid Studio said:

Error:Execution failed for task ':foobarbazquux:compileDebugAidl'.
> java.lang.RuntimeException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: A problem occurred starting process 'command '/home/tom/Android/Sdk/build-tools/21.1.2/aidl''

Because the Sdk/build-tools/21.1.2/aidl is a 32bit application.

$ file aidl
aidl: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped

This executable needs 32bit libraries to work. I installed these with:

$ sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 libbz2-1.0:i386 lib32stdc++6

After this, the aidl got usable.

$ ./aidl
INPUT required
usage: aidl OPTIONS INPUT [OUTPUT]
       aidl --preprocess OUTPUT INPUT...

OPTIONS:
   -I<DIR>    search path for import statements.
   -d<FILE>   generate dependency file.
   -a         generate dependency file next to the output file with the name based on the input file.
   -p<FILE>   file created by --preprocess to import.
   -o<FOLDER> base output folder for generated files.
   -b         fail when trying to compile a parcelable.

INPUT:
   An aidl interface file.

OUTPUT:
   The generated interface files.
   If omitted and the -o option is not used, the input filename is used, with the .aidl extension changed to a .java extension.
   If the -o option is used, the generated files will be placed in the base output folder, under their package folder

FreeBSD: missing /usr/local/sbin/pkg

I have installed FreeBSD 10.3/amd64 to my machine. The new significant feature of FreeBSD is pkg.

pkg initialized itself at first time of executing. This process must give me /usr/local/sbin/pkg, but I did not get. What I had was only /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static.

I fixed this problem with

# pkg-static upgrade -f pkg

cLayz 1/6 のの (Nono)

Done.

のの (Nono) is a character in ぽぽたん (Popotan). Unboxing review of this kit is in my blog.

I took some photos of the legs before assembling.

The skin color is Pale Orange over Carrot Orange of 美少女フィギュア・フレッシュ セット (Cutie Girls Figure Fresh Color Set). 袴 (hakama, the red pant) is painted with Mr. Color 79 Shine Red. The blue of the hair is mixed of Mr. Color 1 White and Mr. Color 110 Character Blue. I painted the white cloth with Mr. Color 107 Character White over a layer of Smalt Blue in Mr. Color みるきぃぱすてるカラーセット ブルーver. (Milky Pastel Color Set Blue Ver.).

Simple daemon example using kqueue

The below code is a simple daemon. This daemon listens the port of number 4,226. When a client connects to this, this daemon disconnects immediately. This daemon stops for SIGTERM. This daemon works on FreeBSD.

I wrote this daemon to investigate other software, but I found that this is helpful to start writing a new daemon using kqueue(2).

This code is also available in Gist.

Bandai 1/144 HGUC Ball

I built a ball with metallic paints.

This kit has some ABS parts. I coated them as a first layer with the primer of Tamiya. And I painted it with

• Mr. Color 8, silver (for the body)
• Mr. Color 75, metallic red (for the red parts)
• Mr. Color 28, steel (for the canon)

A build custom GP base is applicable to this. The manual is saying that you can also use an Action Base 2.

Tamiya 1/35 French Armored Carrier UE

Done.

The cargo can tilt.

Size and comparison with Panzer Kampfwagen II and M151A2 Ford Mutt:

Sadly, the two in the carrier are almost invisible.

This kit includes many small parts and one pincet (I did not use).

The pole light is from Tamiya 1/35 Road sign set.
