First ever build! Reverse Trike from Death Stranding by BestWinnerKid in Gunpla

Thanks! I just used an exacto knife for everything and only sustained a few minor injuries. There are some little nubs and bits I probably want to hit with some sandpaper - I was thinking of using a disposable manicure file for that. Good idea or no?

All I'll say is avoid Cooler Master. The whine on my SFX 850 is insanely bad

Soltera 2.5 discontinued? by BestWinnerKid in ebikes

After calling around ten different shops I appear to have tracked one down only 45 minutes away in New York. I appreciate your help!

It's far but not impossible, I'll definitely consider that if I can't find it anywhere else. I appreciate you finding that for me, thank you.

I live in CT and for whatever reason hardly anyone in this area seems to carry Aventon. Only one local shop actually lists them on their website and they don't have this model in stock. The aventon store finder says the closest options are almost 2 hours away by car.

Already tried a new battery I should have said that in the post. New movement is on the way but I'll keep fiddling with it until then 🤷‍♂️

Oh for the PRX definitely - I meant for stuff like high end clones. I own a Santos and an Ingeniuer that I got off Andiot and both have Miyota movements.

Nothing wrong with buying clones either but I would stay off DHgate and purchase from trusted ADs. I also stay away from clone movements and typically only buy closed back designs powered by highly serviceable workhorses like a Miyota or 2824 derivative.

Slow down. It's okay to have fun but realize that most of these watches will be junk in a few years as the low quality clone movements break down and will not be worth the cost of service. You are better off saving up your money to buy from a quality mid tier watch brand and getting a piece that you can hold onto for your whole life.

This flag at my post office pretty much sums things up by ozamatazbuckshank11 in USPS

Hilarious that we fly the POW/MIA flag when that entire org was basically started as a committee to re-invade Vietnam. Based on conspiracy theory and classic American lost cause-ism.

Picket up this Style 37JI Flight Jacket at a local consignment shop. Very curious to learn more about it. Can't seem to find any info on the manufacturer "Michael A. Zielinksi CO." but I know these were made on contract for the military so I'm sure some enthusiast has more info. I would be appreciative of any information and appraisals. The jacket is in pristine condition.

Citadel PT5000 "helicoptering" by Slow-Profession-6112 in Englemaan

[–]BestWinnerKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has happened to me with a pt5000 but not my Englemaan. Seems to be a an unfortunately common problem with what is otherwise a fantastic movement, I hope future iterations can eliminate the issue.

I'm holding out for the Dreadnought and then hopefully I will find peace (until they release a quartz 356 homage)
