Yesterday I went to the city to head to HobbyCo. Recommended by Megami, I went after Yum Cha with the family. Carrying my camera with me as well I set off. But unfortunetly it was a very windy day in the city of Sydney I happened to get something in my right eye. So wearing contacts + getting stuff blown into your eye = damn itchy eye.

Now I have not set foot in HobbyCo. for like ages, probably about 2 years. Heading in I went aroud looking for the Toy Furniture. Eventually I found the section but unfortunetly its not what I am looking for. The headed off to look around the shop, mainly at the Gundam kit section and the die-cast cars section. Oh yes I’m considering getting a die-cast car to use as a prop for photography, but also some of them look cool.
Afterwards I was planning on taking pictures around the city, but due to the wind and limited time I had I didn’t get much. Heck I didn’t even go to Kinokuniya! Well below are the only photos I took. They aren’t great either. I need an entire day to walk around the city to find good places to take photos, or better yet go around during night time.

Shame, hobbyco didn’t have what you were looking for though. they had a whole section on dollhouses and at one stage i even considered using the miniature train set terrains as a backdrop..LOL
What are you looking for? =)

Are you talking about the pictures of the Lion Statue? Well I took these at the entrance to one of the main sides of Chinatown. Yes it is a street, but no cars go through there, with the except of delivery vans. Along the street we have restaurant who have tables outside and they try to get you to dine-in either for Yum Cha or for dinner.
Dude, doll place, you shoulda asked me. There is a perfect shop for you at the QVB. Next time you come to sydney city, bloody tell me. I am like a damn local there already.
