Garmin Edge 1000 - power button broken and fixed

I am sure I am not the only one in the universe who experienced the rubber button damaged on Edge 1000 cycling computer. I have used mine since late 2016,  but it is not my only head, and they all share the workload. I would say I used my 520 more than the 1000 over all these years. Well, the Edge 1000 decided to fail first, however, it is only a small fix required.
See the first pic about the damage :

The key part is the rubber which contact the physical button and now I have to re-create the contact point.

Clear up the residual rubber around the physical buttons and ensure there are around 8x5 to 8x6mm open window. 

Next I use a small round shape plastic with diameter of about 7mm and height about 5mm, inserted into the open window and tested to operate the on/off of the unit. It works great. 

Finally, applied glue which is elastic after dry, something like those you use to fix your shoes. Applied around the residual rubber, the gap and slightly over the "new" plastic button. Wait for a complete dry, put back the silicon cover. 

It is done.

Fujimi 1/24 Ferrari 355 #1

Started a new project without finishing another WIP projects :) guess it is quite common.

Picked up the F355, my favourite model of sport car. However, after reviewing the kit from Fujimi, sure it is NOT the favourite scale model :)

Change another point of view, challenging project will also mean opportunities to improve skillset and most importantly - training my patience.

Started with marking of mould lines and sand them down, also do away the Ferrari word on the rear engine cover, will replace it with PE part :

Assembled the side air intake and applied polyester putty, gaps are everywhere. Also filled the area where the logo suppose to be on the bonnet, will replace by PE part.

Learning from some other bloggers' project online, the rear window fitting is not great. Some complaint that there is a large gap between the transparent part and the body. Suggestion to all who start this kit, test fit the window parts and fill the gaps if any, before it becomes too late :)

Decided to open up all the slits - 2 in front bonnet, 22 on the rear engine cover, and 1 more at the rear bumper area.

Applied first layer of surface primer to check defects. Also test fitted the body shell and the chassis, required some modification to fit in.

The two seats have lots of empty area so filled in Tamiya epoxy putty.

4 thin layers of Tamiya white surface primer - diluted with 1:2 Mr Color Thinner, 20 PSI and spray with Iwata HP-TH 0.5mm airbrush. I found that this primer might need more diluted (next time try 1:3) and thin layers to achieve a smooth surface. I don't have the same issue when using Mr Color surface primer.
If you ever build this kit, be prepared there are quite some work to prepare the body shell.

IF15

Spent a week to complete the chassis for IF15. Packaging is good, part in bag follow the flow of the instruction manual. Fitting of parts are well too.
Enjoyed the build.
