You can also soak the frames the pieces came on in acetone (it takes a long time, like a few days) and they'll soften up to the point that you can use it like putty. It takes a few days to dry out too. Back when I was painting glittery pink Chaos Space Marines, when my skills improved and I realized my fleet looked blobby and lovely, I let them soak overnight in Simple Green to get the paint off so I could start over. When I remembered them three days later, most had lost any facial features, detailing, and thin pieces. They became servants of Nurgle after that.

The piece was completely gone, and I reallllly didn't feel like fabricating a new piece for it. I wasn't very invested in it anyhow, I had gotten as far as respraying the fuselage a few colors to find one I thought I'd like, and thats about it.

Whip Slagcheek posted:I like the "Flying Fisherman" brand on Amazon. UVA/B protection and polarized. Not the most stylish glasses, but they're lol not saying I'm fashion savvy but not trying to look like a cyclist everywhere I go Yeah UV protection is the big concern I understand knock-offs are only worse for your retinas. I know some do provide protection I was just wondering if there was a somewhat reputable site for that. Chinese knock-off glasses websites are overwhelmingly plentiful Guess I'll shell out $ for some more polarized frogskins Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Apr 10, 2016 |

Edit: drat, I've still got a stack of model kits from like 90s in a closet and you fuckers are gonna make me start going through them. I've got a decent airbrush somewhere too.

Just have to glue the airbrake and landing gear doors on it, then its decal time. I really hate dealing with decals but they look so nice when done decently. I have some battletech minis that I painted I can throw in the picture too

I think the last time I built models was almost 20 years ago; a semi detailed Abrams and a Bradley. I think my parents still have my unfinished Eagle and Tomcat in their basement.

My nephews spend hours watching it and playing with it

yo I accidentally got some model glue in my mouth yesterday, I couldn't taste anything but my flesh melting and cancer forming for about 45 minutes afterwards. Anyhow, wife is out of town, as you all know I have no friends and am a lonely shut in, so its gonna be a bit rough for me the next few days. Don't mind if I get super baked and review all the records I bought (i'll bump my vet music thread so you can avoid it) retail therapy hurray! If anyone wants codes for the downloads of Built to Spill - Keep it like a secret, or the new jeff lynne album let me know

I would take built to spill if you are feeling generous. The new ELO album is rad, and Jeff Lynne is what I imagine Shim looks like IRL. Obviously 30 or so years younger. I really keep hoping that he is gonna launch a full blown NA tour, but it doesn't look like its gonna happen this year.

Though they lasted a lot longer than I hoped even despite my dog chewing them up; I'll probably lose them again. Lost them at the dog park ironically. Pretty sure some jerk picked them up as I walked around 20 times and they're easy to spot. Not sure why he'd want them with a chewed up frame and part of the lens but hey The Rat posted:Oh hey, nerdy model chat.

I liked the ship design, the maneuverability, and the spittle-spraying frustration they caused other players. Not necessarily in that order.
