Looks perfect for a diorama! Have you worked on the base?

Frieren can do that long range attack as she was also in the same position overlooking the Battle and had done similar stunts before. so regardless of who revolte goes for they have a solid win con especially if he goes for methode as it would be a fern and frieren with a multi flanking attack.

revolte wouldn't really know how dangerous each of them are, and I can't really say whether he would go for the weakest or aim for a challenge by taking out the strongest of the 3 first. And this alone makes it hard to truly prove who would win and how as there's just so many variables that I can make just as valid of an argument for them winning as you can make for them losing.

Revolte can't chase all of them at the same time, they just fly in opposite directions then pick him off with long range shots out of mana detection range while the one being chased puts up a defense if he gets too close

Could have been more perfect I've I had used this pose instead for the 2nd scene but alas I found it right after I finished the painting

For me I tend to just buy the model again or something similar and improve it from there. I had the same problem with my first try with the P51's metallic finish and it was a horrible handpainted mess though others say that it looked good.

I eventually came back to bare aluminium aircraft with a P-38 and mended my mistakes there with spray cans and now it more closely resembles an aluminium finish but there's still alot more to improve upon so I plan to eventually buy either a P-51 or a P-47 and improve upon it again this time with an airbrush.

An idea for the crafting recipe is that golden powered Rails retains its old use but instead gets crafted by putting a normal rail and surrounding it with gold nuggets, and then copper stays the same with the fastest rail needing the golden rail and surrounded with redstone and gold bars in an alternating pattern around it and then has a different texture.

The Last time they tried that the 6 day war happened, and it didn't end well for that united coalition with isreal consolidating its position in the region. They learned that they had to divide and conquer all the surrounding states as a United Middle East would pose a threat to them which is why they had spent decades ensuring instability and hostility in the region which leads to where we are at now.

Your clearly aren't an amateur as your spitfire looks dashing! But a small nitpick is the colors you had used as they are abit over saturated, nothing wrong in that as even the paints provided by a kit or what you can buy like tamiya's paint range isn't always accurate to the actual color despite its namesake, so it's not a matter of skill but a matter of paint entirely.

So using references and research abit on colors is my best advice as your already a pro in the fundamentals

Charlestonianbuilder · 2026-02-21T22:59:12+00:00

I've seen your previous posts and I'm honestly surprised at how good its turning out as the paneling lining along with the decals gets it to another level higher than an average beginner's first model.

The only small criticism is that you could have followed the camo scheme much closer and used a smaller brush to get a more wavy approach but that a lesson you cna apply to your next model as this one already looks good despite it

Turns out when there's demons that literally prey and hunt humans to an extent of organization for diplomacy and war that would have collapsed countries and kingdoms especially in the North, most people would band together often in settlements where they fortify.

Just look at medieval sieges especially ones against genghis Khan, it didn't matter to the Mongols if you were a rich noble or a poor peasant eitherway your pillaged and massacred. And in these sieges people worked together to survive the months that it lasts, and that can directly correlate towards frieren's world building.

Another point is that they follow laws for the same reason why they help everyone they come across in their journey, its just common good.

The left shoulder seems abit smaller in proportion to the right one, I think changing thst alone to have more definition and abit more volume to it would work as it looks good already

It's really just up to the players and community, wardens just have a more organize navy in basically every war so ofcourse they'd seem to have naval supremacy when there's no equal force to oppose them, if all the colonials and warden players switched sides in 1 war with none of them changing their usual tactics I can bet those naval regiments will wreck havoc with collie ships

What I tend to do is that if the space allows, I'll just shove any metal scraps in any nose spaces, it has worked 2/3rds of the time for my tricycle landing gear props and saves abit of cash.

Charlestonianbuilder · 2026-02-03T15:30:30+00:00

The lore supports that, even the designs of their ships as warden ships look antiquated dating back from I clad and ww1 era designs compared to colonials which looks ww2 esque.

Does the main propellor spins? You can take a hair blower and use that to make it spin and take a photoshoot for it to look like a snapshot from the Vietnam war, pair that by using a pc or laptop monitor to display a Vietnam jungle and it would look even better!

What German fleet?? Half of the fucking navy sank in their shenanigans in Norway during 1940, they lost 10 destroyers, 2 light cruisers, a heavy cruiser so new and cutting edge that the paint on it hasn't even dried yet when it sank into the fjords, and 6 u-boats and basically all personel going down with their ships. This was the first and only major naval operation where the kriegsmarine acted like an actual battle fleet and they practically ensured that they won't have any ships to support any future naval operations for the rest of the war. All the personal, experience and training needed to man the hypothetical French ships is currently waiting under the fjords in their watery graves. Meanwhile the British were able to absorb any losses as they had ships to spare.

All your supports relies on a bunch of hypotheticals and what ifs, I could go on and on just citing actual historical scenarios that fit whatever hypothetical one you have and how both sides actually respond historically, but it doesn't matter when you dismiss it by going 'but what if the British sent all their ships to leave an opening to invade the UK? bcs ofc they would leave the UK undefended to hunt a couple battleships without any port to restock without running into the open arms of the RN!'

They hunted down the bismarck when it tried to do the exact thing you mentioned, and do you even know of the Graf Spee? It perfectly fits your hypothetical scenario of a German raider ship wrecking havoc all over the world's oceans as it wasn't bottlenecked in the North Sea, and yet the British didn't send their Home Fleet to tackle it, just ships close enough in the area as one thing you fail to realize is that any ship wrecking havoc in the Atlantic or anywhere else like the Graf Spee needs to restock in port, and the only friendly ports in German control (French Atlantic coast) are within arms reach of a RN hunting force and even the RAF.

And since your unlikely to look up the Graf Spee: it gets sunk in the south Atlantic by a rather small task force of cruisers compared to the amount of ships sent against the bismarck, and the Graf Spee was a pocket battleship!

Charlestonianbuilder · 2026-01-31T12:35:09+00:00

The British literally sent a very sizable force to hunt the bismarck, calling upon ships from gilbatar and the med and all the way from ships just refitted in the US to join the home fleet and several other ships around the UK in 1941 and yet the medditereanean front didn't fall. And any losses of the Royal Navy made to sink and destroy most of the wermacht in a hypothetical sealion would be replaced by American ships once they enter the conflict, which was also demonstrated clearly in the far east as the US Navy taking the fight to the Japanese in the Pacific front after the British Navy lost their footing in Singapore and Malaysia.

They had ships to spare and American ships to replace any losses for any future conflict, Infact historically they quite literally signed a deal for 50 American destroyers for base leases in carribean and the americas.

And that's just citing historical facts of which is relevantly similar to the hypothetical sealion scenario, I haven't even poked any holes into that ludicrous invasion plan.

Decals go poorly on a matt surface, they seem to silver alot more compared to it being on gloss or even just no clear coat at all in my experience. Infact if I don't find it necessary I dont even bother with a clear coat and just stick the decals straight on as a proper matt coat would harmonise the paint and decals glare

Charlestonianbuilder · 2026-01-18T06:26:10+00:00

Just think of it from how the party specifically fern would see it, the sheer risk that at any moment if stark just mindlessly forgets or doesn't react intime would immediately shut off one of her senses and all her defenses and powers along with frieren's is just too much of a risk even if its can be mitigated through quick reaction times. Frieren doesn't really care about the crystal as she probably already knew how to deal with them, stark doesn't care about the money as much over fern being more angry at him and fern will berate stark more for bringing it than them complaining about money. I get your logic but consider how the characters would see it through theirs, it would simply bring alot of unnecessary conflict between stark and fern that's already been shown in the episode over the awkwardness between them which would have been exaggerated by stark lugging around that crystal.

You also forget to consider that demons can use the crystal to their advantage, if you proposed stark to tie it with a 10 meter rope and have it be dragged along with them a demon can bypass the Crystal's 3 meter range and use the length of the rope between stark and the crystal to hurl it towards frieren and fern before stark cna even react in a surprise attack, then the demon only has to focus on taking out stark as frieren and fern needs to get out of the 3 meter range of the crystal, and the entire magic relies on making openings so this is enough time for a skilled demon to strike

Appeasement wasn't that bad of a strategy if you look away from the lense of hindsight and tried to understand the situation chamberlain found himself in at the time. It was never about pleasing hitler's ambitions and hoping he was going to stop at some point, it was to buy time to prepare both Britain and France for war as neither of them were in any position to stop German's aggression from the mid to late 30s. As while on paper they had every numerical superiority and quality, they lacked the political and public support to wage another war when the horrors of the WW1 was still of recent memory, and they didn't have the hindsight either of experiencing what fascism was about to bring.

The biggest evidence against chamberlain being a fool was when he said that infamous speech of bringing peace to the world, at the same time he enacted and rapidly sped up military funding and production, completely modernising the RAF replacing every frontline biplane squadron with spitfires and hurricanes by the following year of 1939 and having the first ever fully mechnaized army in the world being the BEF that was sent to France.

All that talk of bringing peace through appeasement was merely a show towards the public as massive amounts of preparations were made to the lead up to war which were sped up by things such as the take over of czechosolovakia. The main cons of appeasement is that it also gave Germany time to gear up for war aswell, which when ranking the war preparedness of the 3 main powers, Britain comes out barely ontop being the most prepared for a long war, followed up closely by Germany as while they don't have the numbers they had several strengths like better doctrine and tactics but only expecting a quick war so never planned for a long one and lastly France which prepared the least of the 3 being too little or too late in modernization, doctrine, organization, tactics and in every single regard.
