The plastic model kit is the rendition of ARX-7 Arbalest in the Full Metal Panic: Invisible Victory. Despite a 1/60 scale, it is just a small model after build. The impressive aspect of this kit is that it has good articulations and high detail, as what is expected from a modern model kit produced by Bandai.
Continue readingIt has been ages waiting for this product to be released by Bandai. Icing on the cake, Bandai just release this figure in its highly detailed and high-quality line collectible the Metal Build. Laevatein for fans of Full Metal Panic series knows it is a major upgrade of ARX-7 Arbalest after Sousuke defeated by Leonard.
It has some heft to the box and package, not overly complicated box art.
Nothing too fancy, from the back of the package, just overview of the Laevatein with accessories and how the base can be used as a weapon storage and display stand.

The pre-requisite would be understanding how Network Address Translation works. To make the dynamic IP of ISP provide to your home internet access, feel free to research into finding Dynamic DNS providers. This will make it easier than using websites like whatismyip.com . And you just need to fire up the RDP client, and use the Dynamic DNS FQDN which will be always pointing to your static IP.
Depending on the network equipment used in your home or provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), you may need to look for NAT or in my case IPv4 port mapping.
The screenshot above, shows how to create a NAT mapping or a IPv4 port mapping for a computer with LAN IP, 192.168.100.12, take note that the port of RDP is 3389 and the protocol used is TCP. Hence, the internal port must be numbered 3389.
External port set to 3389 are for the sake of simplicity.
If there are more host in your LAN need to be accessible from the internet remotely using RDP, there is no need to change the default port of RDP of your host.
Instead, use the known port that is not blocked by your ISP. Example assuming that higher port numbers are not blocked by your ISP, you could use 13389, or 23389, or 33389 or 43389, or 53389 or 63389, as long as it is not more than 65535 or lesser than 1024. Those port number can be used as the External port number, while maintaining the internal port number to 3389.
From the previous post, this is definitely a follow up to enable my vanity email.

Long explanation in AWS Routing traffic for subdomains – Amazon Route 53
GROUND RULE or RULE OF THUMB of DNS, NEVER change the NS record of your domain in your Domain registrar before completing setup of your DNS server. The result may cause 72 hours of outtage.
Using my domain karmeng.my as an example, the objective is to have chow.karmeng.my to be a valid domain for email hosting which offers customed domain.

The size of the box itself is sized like a MG Bandai Gundam kit.
A telescopic strut with clips, no reflective backdrop cloth is needed to form the basis of background for your photography object(s).
Next, light source at least 2 on the sides, optional will be a mirror for better effect.

The first plastic model that I needed to keep track of the numbers of runners on a note book.
I would not recommend this build for folks that are busy, the smallest part in the model is smaller than 5mm by 5mm. Do not get kids involved in this build. The instructions are not as intuitive as mainstream Bandai Spirits branded plastic models.
With that said, the model build instructions are thick, 81 pages thick.
Completed all white plastic model does not do justice to the details of the plastic models.
