Apologies in advance for the blocked nose voice 🤧🤧🤧
I’ve always had a soft spot for camouflage patterns.
Tried making them before using masking gel, but this time I experimented with sticker masks, and I honestly love the result. The rounded shapes feel a lot more organic and unpredictable in a way I couldn’t really achieve before.
Also really liking the new canvas design with the built-in LED light strips. You can change the light color just by placing different colored paper over them, which is such a simple but fun detail.
The final step before every camera heads out.
Stamping the maker’s mark, adding the serial number, and recording each one by hand in my notebook.
A small detail, but probably one of my favorite parts of the whole process.
Simple, slow, and done one at a time.
Classic Dodge Viper GTS inspired build.
Deep blue paint, white racing stripes, and a subtle red accent along the side inspired by the brake lights.
Still really enjoying working on this new canvas format.
Ended up buying a few more just so I could keep experimenting with different ideas and designs.
I stepped away from cameras this time and tried applying my usual process to something different, just to see what would happen. Ended up turning it into a Gundam shield.
60 Gundam cameras made and shipped
Still feels unreal to me
What started as a small idea somehow made its way around the world. I’m really grateful for every single order, message, and bit of support.
However… we’re about to begin a new chapter in our lives.My family is moving to Australia, so I’ll be pausing production at the end of May.
I have around 10 cameras left.
Once they’re gone, that will be it for now.
Next batch will happen in Australia 🇦🇺
Hopefully around September.
Excited, nervous, a bit overwhelmed.
Thanks for being part of this journey.
Batch No.6 of my Gundam Camera is here. I’ve made 58 cameras so far, and I genuinely enjoy every part of this process. With each batch, I make small tweaks to improve the camera.
This time, I removed the orange filter from the flash compartment. I shot a full roll with it and while the orange flash looked cool, it noticeably reduced the flash power and affected photo quality. In the end, I chose performance over aesthetics.
Thank you to everyone who has supported and ordered along the way. If you’re interested in owning one, feel free to DM me. See you in the next batch.
Bengal Tiger Compass 🐅🧭
Not a camera this time, I wanted to apply the customizing techniques to see if they translate beyond cameras.
This compass has been on my wish list for a while
My daughter brought it back from overseas
and kept asking when I’d do something to it.
So I finally did 🫡
All the process in 8 frames
