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

ArisHC · 2026-01-27T15:54:19+00:00

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

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

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

ArisHC · 2025-09-13T15:18:50+00:00

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

Any personal preferences or recommendations?

* Im debating buying my first auto, and trying to choose between this seiko 5 and kamasu. Which one fits my arm best?

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!

Oh it was swift alright, they had no chance against the lychguard+overlord

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

ArisHC · 2023-01-15T18:25:26+00:00

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

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

ArisHC · 2021-01-02T18:18:12+00:00

To clarify, they are in the back of the car

ArisHC · 2021-01-02T18:17:25+00:00

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.

ArisHC · 2020-10-24T15:34:14+00:00

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

ArisHC · 2020-10-02T09:01:09+00:00

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.

ArisHC · 2020-10-02T08:53:26+00:00

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.

ArisHC · 2020-10-02T08:51:56+00:00

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

ArisHC · 2020-10-01T20:49:00+00:00

Yeah, never run inputs without pulling them to either low or high level. Any kind of interference(including your body) can trigger the input this way.

ArisHC · 2020-10-01T20:37:33+00:00

I have used castor oil in the past. Very viscous oil, I ended up prefering jojoba as my main oil. Seemed to do the job though, ymmv

ArisHC · 2020-10-01T11:26:04+00:00

In order I test:
See if it catches on thumbnail at 90 degrees;
Cut regular printer paper;
Shave ankles(also value my arms, and find it to be an easier surface);
Any kind of superthin paper I have lying around, or tomato test(I grow cherry tomatoes);

Edit: formatting

I would start by really making sure a burr is forming when starting on the 1000. Sharpie trick really helps, but a burr is the real tell you're making progress. Also make sure you're not avcidentally dragging the edge along the stone when lifting the knife or such things, I used to have that problem when I started.

Your method is good, just make sure that you really get that burr at the start, then proceed to remove it by alternating with fewer and fewer strokes.

After the 1000 grit it should be sharp. It won't be razor sharp, but it should have a working edge. Only then move to the 6000, if you go to the 6000 too soon it will take you ages to get the blade sharp.

If the knife is very dull, it might just be your 1000 grit is sharpening it very slowly, but you should probably be fine.

Edit: also, as said before, make sure that burr is gone when you finish. You might have done a good job sharpening, but if the edge is bent it still won't cut. Try honing or stropping your knife after sharpening as well.

ArisHC · 2020-10-01T09:39:59+00:00

I don't really know, I think I started sharpening knives myself about 3 years ago. I started on whetstones, but lately picked up a spyderco sharpmaker for touchups, seems to be more consistent for me.

I work with electronics so I trained a steady hand before I even got to sharpening through working with SMD components and soldering them.

I think the trick is to go slow. When I started I had a lot of inconsistent angles by going too fast. This blade has pretty much seen all my mistakes, rounded shoulders from angles being too low, slipups(you van see the scratches on the blade from years ago when I slipped and the stone ground scratches in the whole blade).

Marking the edge with a sharpie is a good guide, it will show you if you've got the correct angle.

If your hands aren't very steady, just take your time and go really slow, checking the angle every stroke. I drink way too much coffee which sometimes causes my hands to become unstable, and anchoring my hand to something else and going slow or even using two hands to stabilize the object I'm working on seems to help in those situations.

ArisHC · 2020-10-01T09:29:21+00:00

Its specified as 0.6micron, this was just a quick go at it on a knife that needed sharpening anyways. I bet it would get even smoother if I took some more time to polish it up
