Solio, Saber and more test Shots
January 16, 2010I have finally gotten around to opening up the box of my new Saber figure made by Revoltech. Saber (from the anime series Fate/Stay Night) is the first real figure I have ever purchased. Well, besides a couple of LOST figures (Jack and Hurley), but I don’t think they count for some reason…
The Fate series always said that Saber was a representation of King Arthur, which I always thought was weird, mainly due to the fact that she was indeed a girl. Before her history was revealed, I was certain that she would most likely represent Joan of Arc (thinking Jeanne d’Arc). I think theres something about a cute girl warrior, whether real or fictional…
I currently work in a field involved with the Renewable Energy sector here in Australia. Whilst I lack the money to put a full blown solar PV system on my roof, I like collecting solar powered gadgets, whether solar collectors, or things like Solar Radiometers. Solio was the first (and probably my favourite) solar charger I have purchased. I don’t use it as much as I should, but the times that I do, I allows me to feel good to know that my iPhone or PSP is running of renewable energy.
Also, just a couple more test shots from the garden, as I gradually hone my skills at the 20mm lens.
Well, its now Saturday afternoon… whilst I didn’t quite get out and about as much as I would have liked to be able to test out the camera, its starting to storm here, I did have quite a productive day. I have working on some of the left over reports I needed to write up after my recent work trip, but I managed to get them done faster that I thought I would, whilst sitting in front of the TV watching the cricket at the same time. Not a bad day… and it’s only SATURDAY!















[...] did find the Figma Saber a lot more delicate compared to the Revoltech Saber I’ve posted earlier. It’s a little more fiddly to get Saber into the poses that I wanted, but [...]
