Painted the first gunpla I bought a few months ago. Was going to weather this one but thought twice about using acrylics for it as that's the base paint and top coat. And if I instead use enamels it's easy to undo if I mess up. Think I will order some enamel paints for just weathering and...

Yea I got 3 batteries with it and a charging station so should be good. Wouldn't surprise me if the batteries were mishandled. Will check that app for waypoints for sure. :)

Had some better temperatures today so took the Spark out for a test run in beginner mode. Worked pretty good but had some lost gps issues, I have not calibrated it yet so might be it and flew it close to the house. The battery seemed to lose power fast but might be due to almost 0C in...

MG Dynames Gundam done. Getting quite good results now with airbrush on the two latest builds so will probably try weathering a bit soon... maybe. Before and after painting.

Thanks! Yea I think all that is enabled and it freaks out. :p It seems very stable and the control calibration worked showing all the inputs. Cant wait for spring. This cold ass winter sucks.

The drone seems to be working fine. The normal controller is wierd though as the right stick is hit or miss. Tried calibrating once and it got better but does not respond all the time. No weather to try outside just now as it is -15C. I think I want to use the phone to control it anyway. Edit...

This is the stuff he wants to trade. My phone isn't selling anyway so might as well go for it. As long as it flies well!

Thanks for the tips! Talked to the father and the kid who had it was handicapped and could not fly it well by himself so it has been on the shelf supposedly. Will check it a bit extra and try it out before I trade it!

Put my old phone up for sale and got offered a dji spark with extra batteries and stuff. It's in the ballpark the same value, maybe a bit less but my phone is pretty scratched. Anything to look out for when trading for it? I have only used those early $10 drones before.

Stumbled upon these in one of my facebook groups. @Hateyou was talking about busts earlier. :p

Yea some red theme might work. I'm thinking they need a lot of shading to look good. If I check @Khalan 's awesome work the shading and blending make it really fucking good. Granted thats living beings and this is a metal robot thingy. Will have to practice on some pieces. :)

Still painting the other Gundam but took a break to build up this new kit I got in the mail. Now I just need khalan to paint the wings like his minis... Any color scheme suggestions? I have no imagination sadly. Usually steal others ideas and make tweak them a little. 😱

Bumping an old thread. Anyone tried Bafang motors on a bike? Thinking of getting a 750w kit with battery for my bike. The legal bikes in Sweden is only 250w so that's not an option. Using the bike 5 mins a day for commuting to work and quite a lot more during the summer. My issue is we have...

Ahh I thought your stuff was Warhammer as well. I know nothing about that world but I like the painted figures people post. What are those shrines and stuff you have posted earlier?

Do you guys play Warhammer or just in it for the painting/therapy? Always been kinda sad I live in such a small town in regards to this kind of hobby. No Warhammer or MTG at all exist here.

That's amazing stuff. Plebs like me got a lot going way to go. :o

Current gunpla progress. Ran out of the good clear coats and the one I use now take ages to dry. The red parts were more orangey but the gloss made it red. Hope it reverts once I dull coat. Unpainted vs my version.

Is it worth playing through the "campaign"? I got through the maw then arrived at the smurf world then got sidetracked with Cyberpunk and other stuff. Started up ffxiv today to play the recent patch and remembered I never played much shadowlands...

I tried using my sag bracket for the msi ventus 3080 and the msi sag bracket sagged... So I ended up throwing it in a drawer. The phanteks p500a got a built in bracket you mount behind the case and that straightened the card way better.

A relative just bought this one, 3300 euros or something like that. Guessing prebuilts last a bit longer in stock rather than 1 second.

GF is like a pokemon trainer and seems to be collecting all animals. Newest family members are these two Skinny Pigs...

Yea led strips is probably easiest. No shelf above, just the roof so it might be a bit high up. Haven't bought an led strip in ages, they might have gotten brighter nowadays so it could probably work mounting it way up. Otherwise I'll steal the GFs plant lights.

My nerd shelf with my 3 completed builds. Anyone got tips on cheap/smart lights to brighten the models up a bit? Will probably be bullied once covid is done and friends start to visit... At least there's no nude anime titties up there (yet)...

Haha no more like worfing at my old self with a slowly declining health. :o I've seen a few busts here and there, not sure whats available over here though. The whole scale model/paint hobby scene is always out of stock, maybe it's due to covid and China shipping issues. That looks really...

Yea I like the 1/100 scale for painting. That Gundam is pretty big as well. I started to consider painting some Warhammer stuff earlier but my eyes betray me painting such small details. There's some detail painting on the gunplas and that's hard enough with my eyes and shaky hand. :p You all...

Who's the tranny? Did I miss that or is it further along? I don't mind spoiler.

Got like 300 bucks or something at the 3080 release for my 1070. Not sure how the price went from then to now though.

Another Gunpla painted. Found a good paint for them now, Vallejo Mecha Color. Dries real hard even without clearcoats so I can assemble them easier. A before and after picture below.

Got a second 2 hander from the merchant to switch out the 2 handed axe I had. Now I cant windmilk like before by pressing Q, I just rush istead.

I did not find any 2 handers until I was around power level 70 or something. Got that dual wield skill just before I went to Cyberpunk so never actually played with the 2 handers. Going to resume my playthrough today though.

I kinda paused the book but might restart it. Just curious, was there a resolution to the Maya story or just cliffhangers? I enjoyed that of the part like many others have said.

I used to have a few Pi's connected to the TV for youtube/plex and other apps. But since the TV apps got better i hardly use them. Cheap and fun though.

Yea I had to paint the gold stuff black first as I only have gray primer. The gold on the weapon is normal gold and the stuff on the head/grill is titan gold which I think looks better as it is not as yellow. Also handpainted on the weapon so it is not as pretty. Kudos to you who get such...

The only thing not painted is the clear parts and the rods in the pistons. The rest was primed to light gray then painted. I got bad imaginary skills so I pretty much repainted with similar colors though. Made a few changes like using gold instead of yellow and the blue and red are subtle...

Second gunpla done. Lost one piece somewhere in the painting process but made a new myself. Its hidden behind the arm so no biggie. Edit, forgot the clear parts so reposted new pictures ;)

First Gunpla painted and decal'ed. No weathering because I suck at that and don't want to destroy it. Might return to the model and do it later after I practice some more.

I tried some sponge chipping but it wasnt good. Will need to try again. My brushes suck so much, they all split when trying to do small dots/chips. Need to fork up and buy some really good small brushes.

I sold on a Swedish nerd tech forum. I see the 3700x sell for around 250-290 euro (new price around 340 euro). I got 270 euro or just about, sold some ram also in a bundle. @Hateyou Yea I did not expect much of an improvment with a 3080 in the case, it was more of a "I want this generation cpu...

Got my 5900x yesterday. Replaced the 3700x. 0 fps increase in Cyberpunk. :p But seeing as I got 80% of the money back from my 3700x sale it's all good.

Going slow with the Gunplas, due to having to take it apart and then waiting for curing before I can put it together. This kit wasnt the easiest either. It's new and clicks together really hard so can be a bit of a challenge to take apart again. Anyone got some good weathering/chipping guide? I...
