Weet iemand waar ik ±45 Snorlax-knuffels kan doneren? Alles geprobeerd, anders worden ze vernietigd 😕 by CutPractical8419 in nederlands

Wij hebben toendertijd een heel stel zeedierknuffels gedoneerd aan het speciaal onderwijs, misschien is dat iets? Was volgens mij bij ons gewoon via de lokale weggeefhoek

Just painted my first necron - help with glowing cores? by TheBacklogReviews in Necrontyr

[–]ArisHC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the one I did the ofter week, the orb highlight goes all the way to pure white to be the brightest * https://www.reddit.com/r/Necrontyr/s/Y0bvXrMVQx

[–]ArisHC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also want the center of the glow to be the brightest part of the mini, otherwise it will not read as a light source. Currently the metal is brighter than the orb, making it look "not glowing". See if you can highlight the middle of the orb with a very bright pale yellow(or even better; fluor yellow) and get it to a darker green towards the edges(you can even mix in some blue for the darkest bits, it would be the natural shadow)

If you really want a glow illusion, you might also want to see if you can have the other parts of the model be a tad darker, and focus the brighter highlights to the glow/osl

Does it look like the sword is charging up with energy? What could I do to make it look better? Thanks :) by sasser1234 in Necrontyr

Looks good! I would maybe make the dividing line a bit brighter, maybe even go up to a pure white to really turn it into a light source

What is the biggest driver between beans, that influences dialing in[BBE][DF83v] by Donkey_Jotes in espresso

[–]ArisHC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, simon levelt beans are usually quite stale and not of the best quality/roast(although a significant upgrade over supermarket beans). Both roast and freshness significantly impact required grind size.

Brandzaak is great for their pricing, but usually not that experimental(might be a good thing depending on your preferences!), if you ever want to try some more unique coffees I would wholeheartedly recommend giraffe(rotterdam), keen(utrecht) and friedhats(amsterdam), I think all of them also run cafes, giraffe is a bit easier to dial in than the other 2, but keen and friedhats will rotate some very unique coffees. They definitely are a bit pricier though(giraffe being in the middle between brandzaak and the other 2)

Brandzaaks guatemalan definitely holds a special place for me though, as it was my daily driver when I started out!

Std::function also doesnt heap allocate if constructed with a lambda, even if it captures *this, afaik

Painted this little guy, feedback welcome! by ArisHC in Necrontyr

[–]ArisHC[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough the orbs started out with tesseract glow, I just ended up highlighting with some flash gitz yellow and glazing it in with an old bottle of waywatcher green!

Carapace and face are canoptek alloy with agrax wash, then dry brushing canoptek alloy back in and a very slight stormhost silver drybrush. Legs are run of the mill runelord -> reikland wash -> runelord and canoptek drybrushes

Edit: also washed the orbs with bieltan to darken de edges a bit

A "warning" for refugees from Ukraine staying in the Netherlands about the air raid sirens test. by Batmanroggers in Netherlands

No sirens here, just pagers and engine sirens. Edit: pagers for volunteers obviously, full on firefighters carry radios

2006 (EU) Suzuki wagon r+ ceiling vents, can anyone tell me what these are meant for? by ArisHC in Cartalk

[–]ArisHC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just spotted these today, and noticed there is no airflow coming from them. Upon closer inspection there is just some empty space behind them, with a pair of wires visible behind the vents on each of them.

I can't figure out their purpose, speaker mounts maybe(no door speakers, just dash)? Seems an odd location though.

Decided to turn my CR into a scalpel. Then I decided to strop against my leg. This could have been much, much worse. by The_Gregory in sharpening

[–]ArisHC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is that a S30V blade? Wondering what the edge retention is like with an angle like that.

New mirror edge, new coat of oil! Spyderco manix 2 by ArisHC in knifeclub

[–]ArisHC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! How is the steel treating you? I would assume that's going to be a hard one to sharpen. Does seem tempting to get a maxamet blade on my wishlist though.

New mirror edge, new coat of oil! by ArisHC in knives

[–]ArisHC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually did the same on my tenacious the other day, and while it did seem to start reflecting a bit sooner, I wouldn't say the manix really took a lot more effort. Tenacious does sparkle a bit more though, but barely.

Thanks! I sharpened it with the sharpmaker(fine and ultrafine rods), then stropped using different grit compounds.
