It should have been a flying whale.

Far better than my first go.

Great work on the hood/cloak!

My wife’s cat* hated me and I didn’t see her for 9 months. She was an indoor cat.

*(We got two rescue cats the day after we moved into our house. It’s not like I butted into a long relationship.)

A Toyota embedded, like a javelin, 6 feet off the ground in the side of an abandoned building.

They made the first 90° turn of a dog-leg, but missed the second and, with the help of a ditch, launched into the air at the building.

So… interfering in an interference case.

If you’re using plastic glue (which melts/welds plastic together), you need bare plastic for it to work right.

Cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) doesn’t need bare plastic, but there’s always the risk of the paint coming off at the connection, breaking the join.

If you are using non-contrast paints, I find it easiest to not fully assemble the minis before painting. Paint the arms and shoulders separate so that it is easier to hit all that “chaos trim”.

Make sure to leave your glue points unpainted. I use poster tac to cover those (and it makes a good handle when you stick in a toothpick).

Hit the whole model with the gold, then use contrast paints (I use Talassar Blue) over the areas to be blue. Be careful to not paint over the trim, but it can wipe off with a moist cotton swab.

I had a cat that, for 16 years, would unerringly launch herself onto my groin as I lay in bed. Swapping places with my partner did not help. Only her passing released me.

Coworker of mine was handling hardware returns for our main data center. There were two issues with this: It wasn’t his job and he never told anyone about it. Work fired him during his vacation because they saw he wasn’t completing his assignments, but never asked him for reasons.

Six months later, the company got hit with over 200k in service plan renewals for hardware we no longer used.
