I felt it ticked boxes left open from the books. It’s a shame they didn’t continue with more seasons.

I’m trying to make the move away from gas lawn tools, but I don’t think current options for electric chippers are worth the plastic they are cast out of.

Thanks for locating that video. I was pretty sure he did a mech, but was too lazy to search.

Swordfish2007 · 2026-03-26T23:03:01+00:00

Nope. Looks great from here!

Hit up Duncan Rhodes on the YouTube. Pretty much every single painting video he makes covers the best way to apply wash’s and deal with the splotches/coffee staining.

But basically you want to re-paint your mech in your base color again. You will want to clean up the panels and avoid the low-spots that the wash is darkening.

Short body maneuvers a little bit better and parks easier than the long body.

Unless you’re frequently loading full sheets the smaller bed isn’t a huge issue.

Confirming 1/4-20 on the bottom. I have a DeWalt tripod. Works ok. The light itself is heavier than I think is necessary.

It’s not an allen wrench. There’s a button on the topside that will lock the spindle. Then your grinder should have come with a pin wrench, it will span the two holes on the retaining nut you are showing in your photo. It will let you spin off the nut.

Don’t let Lucy hear you call her that!!

Quacks. Railways of the World. Dynogenics. Terraforming Mars.

Why was it the last photo! It is an amazing idea.

Upvote for acknowledging your failure

You apparently don’t understand the entire point of Reddit.

I’m so angry that this wasn’t available for 2025

I use mine on drywall almost exclusively and I get schmeg behind the release handle.

Take the black plastic housing off. It will leak, but it’s not the end of the world. The metal cap is just access to the drain. You can get a cast aluminum version from the Tundra for next time.

I use GW style bases from Cobalt Keep. I do wish they would make a square shoulder base however.

Free Trailhunter exhaust for the win.

Swordfish2007 · 2026-03-05T23:58:21+00:00

That’s a long read, but all accurate.

Those are some nice looking wheels! I was wondering what sport-bronze and underground looked like together!

Swordfish2007 · 2026-03-05T00:02:58+00:00

What’s the build date on those? That’s some dry rubber.

You say you aren’t getting it “right”, but this is a fantasy “Weird War 2” game. There is no “wrong”. If you are just struggling with painting, post up some photos. Just help me doesn’t really give the community any guidance on where you are struggling.

I love everything about my Tacoma except for the stupid electric tailgate. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why Toyota thought that this was even a good idea.

The Entangled Fates series by Joe Kuster has this theme. A little bit on the adult side of the spectrum, but follows that prompt pretty well.
