Skunkduster over in the Scale Modeling thread uses a stereo-microscope for painting small stuff. Great for minis, or photo-etch pieces on models.

There are also various head-mounted magnification dealies for sale. I'd advise ones with glass lenses even if there's a bit of a price premium. The plastic ones get hosed up too easily.

It gets better and Orkier: the ship was worked on by shipwrights from Sweden and Amsterdam, who used different rulers / measuring implements without realizing it. Apparently Sweden and Holland had different definitions for "a foot" or something. So the ship's hull was built in a way that the port side was heavier than the starboard side.

They've discovered rulers at the shipbuilding site calibrated to both Swedish feet and Amsterdam feet (12 and 11 inches respectively). This caused the ship to be very slightly asymmetrical, which was definitely a contributing factor but not a big one. The real reason is simply a design flaw. It was too top heavy, and didn't cut deep enough into the water, so it was extremely unstable.

Vasa. Was way too top-heavy and sank a few minutes out of port.



Wow. When I hear the phrase "ghost ship," this is exactly what comes to mind.

Check out Olga Kropotova, some parts are sped up, but even then the process is amazing.

Johnny Cage also doesn't believe that Taiwan is a country - but not because of pressure from the Chinese movie industry, he's just very confused and doesn't think it physically exists at all.

It's not that surprising if you consider people spending hundreds on naked anime statues. And that market has "thrived" for decades.
Really weird way to sell it, though. You're buying a text file with a link to a Mega file? That sure sounds reliable

Maybe the STL is actually free and they are selling you a link to where it is hosted without actually rehosting/stealing the work? So it is a finder's fee to cringworthy crap.

Selling STLs without a proper license from the guy who most assuredly modeled it without a license for those characters. And the model itself is gross. Gas everyone involved, close the mega repository.

The grid changes the project from "I could never do that" to "that would be a lot of work", an entirely different prospect.
