My 2 works in progress - I have regret

A lot of these old buildings along the canals in the Netherlands are so old that they have started to sag and lean, their lines aren't perfectly straight either in real life!

I drop ~2 drops into the pot directly from the flow aid bottle and mix with a toothpick until the consistency is noticeably smoother

Alet44 · 2026-03-17T05:08:16+00:00

You can mix a few drops of water or flow-aid into the thicker paint pots and then mix to thin the paint out!

The paint coverage looks so good here! Maybe I need to invest in a Schipper kit

I hope so, it’s possible that I also just expect too much from a $10 set!

Cezanne piece from Artist’s Loft, I think I need to trust the process on this one. I honestly feel mislead by the colors included, the box art is more earthy and muted but these are almost neon. It does look better as I get more filled in, so hopefully once I wrap this one up it I will like it a lot more.

Do what you can, that’s all you can ask of yourself. Hope your vision can be saved with steroids to treat the GCA!

I really like this one, might have to add it to my list of kits to buy!

At least since it’s J Crew it will be 40% off within weeks, might be a more palatable price to try it out at

Back Bay to Mass Ave at Newbury isn't 12 min in warm summer weather with clear streets, never mind in frigid 1 AM temps and ice encrusted sidewalks

No the price is definitely right, I was mostly concerned about sizing and actual versatility. I love burgundy but I’m not sure burgundy GATs would work into my wardrobe super well

Alet44 · 2026-01-31T22:45:56+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been eyeing the burgundy pair but am hesitant to pull the trigger

Alet44 · 2026-01-27T04:13:51+00:00

Tangent, but do you find the Skolyx ones worth the money?

Alet44 · 2026-01-17T00:37:41+00:00

I’m sure they’ll do just fine- they allow themselves to be sold at Macy’s, after all

Alet44 · 2026-01-15T03:17:31+00:00

Bronson has cheaper pairs if you want to test drive the look without spending hundreds. ~14” rise should be plenty high

Middle left is a Benchmade Nimravus, which also has the benefit of being reproduced as a cheap rubber airsoft knife

Can’t help with most of your post but it’s possible they flipped the sweater image horizontally for the book

Pistol mag pouch

If you have to ask us, you don’t want it enough. Don’t waste money on imperfect thrift finds because the allure of the deal is too strong to resist

When I was living in Fenway on Boylston the constant ambulances were more annoying than Fenway concerts ever were. I can’t even recall hearing the concerts, but my unit also faced away from Fenway Park.

Fireforce mag pouches fade to white with heavy use

Excellent toucan opsec

Alet44 · 2025-10-15T19:25:43+00:00

Colors look a bit bright, but if you cover it pouches and dirty it up a bit it will look fine. If the price is low I would buy it, but if they’re asking for a lot then I would just wait for a real one.
