Accident does happen!!

Was trying to capture a photograph of all my 'Spongebob' series bearbricks and an ACCIDENT happened!!!

Spongebob 100% BROKE it's right leg during 'shooting'!!!!!

* I do actually have a feel few days back that something's bad gonna happen to Spongebob 100% soon! This is cuz Spongebob 100% actually fell a height before landing on the floor during the first shooting...arghz! Poor handling definitely!!

To clarify, I'm actually not a fan of Spongebob. Neither do I follow or even know the story behind Spongebob. My likings is purely cuz of its resemblance to a piece of cheese...Would love to have a BIG bite! Yummy!

Woodie's construction-in-progress~

Knowing my love for bearbricks, my Dad actually painstakingly took the effort to craft a 'bearbrick' lookalike for me..! It's the best gift on earth and I'm gonna dedicate this blog to him..!

Managed to take a few photographs of Woodie's construction-in-progress prior to his Completion Date on 25th April 2010.

Sharing some snapshots as below..

Snapshot 1:

Woodie's head was the first to be constructed; Note that it's nose was yet to be shaped at that point
(duhhh...regretted not taking pics for the rest of the 8 parts...)


Snapshot 2:

Fully constructed Woodie...Awaiting polishing...


Snapshot 3:

Polishing Woodie's in progress~


Snapshot 4:

Fully-polished Woodie, awaiting to dry~



Snapshot 5:

Staple Bearbrick (left) vs Woodie

(P.S. Staple Bearbrick was used as a reference during craft work)


* Something I truly loves about Woodie. All his parts are movable not by 'clicks' so there isn't a 'conformed' degree per rotation! Is this the same for those released Wooden Bearbrick by Medicom? I've yet to own one myself to know the answer...

The love begins here~

Right: 'Woodie' as I named it. No, this is not one of the 'wood' release from Medicom. It is a piece handicrafted by Dad as a gift to me. No copyright infringement or whatsoever intended for this is absolutely NOT FOR/intended for SALE)

You guys must be be wondering why I'm featuring 'Spongebob' and 'Woodie' in my opening entry for this blog.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To me, this 2 pieces of artwork hold special meanings in my heart. To start off with, Spongebob is really the bearbrick that spins off my bearbrick hobby till today (I wasn't really spending that much on bearbricks prior to Spongebob). As for Woodie, it is just such a priceless gift that no other bearbricks can replace... :)
