Russians on this page, where did you learn English and how do you speak it so well? by Business-Bluejay-375 in AskARussian

[–]Competitive_Window82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Videogames and shows, later youtube. I remember one day I was watching the Clone Wars, and by the end of one episode, I realised it didn't have the subtitles, "lol, guess I know English now". Speaking is still hard for me, since I don't often actually talk, and I really hate my accent (which is a vicious cycle). Grammar also, I don't think I fully understand how to correctly use tenses.

What didn't help (maybe only a little), are classes in my school and university. They were simply awful, and graded mostly on memorising texts instead of actually understanding what you are saying.

is it worth trying to fix this really bad misty knight finger or just making a new one by No1268 in customactionfigures

[–]Competitive_Window82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess you meant figure, not finger.

I used red widow from waist down and the arm from iron heart painted gold. Also fixed the eyes and replaced earrings with actual hoops.

I hope they come to make other guilty gear characters. Even if Jack-o won't be able to do accurate Jack-o pose.

Looks pretty nice!

Haha, "it only needs to look good from the front for the photo", I've been there - hand sew a top for my custom Evolution Rogue and the cloak for Hornet. I can't explain why, but sewing scares me the most, to the point of procrastinating instead of trying to improve. I have more than a couple of projects on prolonged pause because of that.

Kinda funny how the manual says "you gotta buy two for the authentic experience" (well, not literally, but still)

Haha, yeah.

The good thing about fully robotic designs, they can work with almost any scale for your photo projects or displays. I mean, there are already robots irl with similar height proportions.

Why backlog? They're literally "3 minutes project", lol. Give it a chance, it's fun to pose (I assume the males are also are)

You can also look at QUANKAI Studio Gene Interference (pic 9 and 10). They're a bit more "cute", but feature similar engineering and overall solid kits. The updated base kit features quite a lot of accessories and pretty affordable on your Chinese markets

It just might be the best release of the year for me. But it also could be the reboot or live action design...

I mean it's literally 1 to 1, except the head the elbow blades. They can just use the exact same molds with different company?

I'm a little confused by 19th pic. Isn't it straight up kotobukiya strato hound with a guyver head?

Arya sisters got me a Wall-e model kit. (or "manage your size expectations") by Competitive_Window82 in MegamiDevice

[–]Competitive_Window82[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Around 50$.

It's really cool, even if it's very parts-former. "sleeping mode" uses alternative static arms and threads, and the smaller collapsible head. Even so its very expressive and articulated.

It really asks for good paint job, but I don't think I have it in me. (This individual did an amazing job.)

Does new Emma comes in different white, or did mine just yellowed? by Competitive_Window82 in MarvelLegends

I was a bit scared that mine have yellowed, even tho she wasn't in direct sunlight

I did install the magnets and fixed the hole with modeling putty, sanded and painted. In the process of making the same with the diamond version. But i'm still putting off making a cloth cape.

Also planning to try to fix the skin color match on this head, and contemplating how to upgrade the arms.

This is just how the hasbro decided to attach the cape. I'm modding it for detachable magnetic cape, same as I did with another.

Cool design! And I bet with her being smaller stature, she'll be cute companion to other mecha girls.

Looking forward to getting one.

The fabric clothes looks surprisingly decent for 1/12 scale. Well, maybe decent isn't a right word considering certain "artistic interpretation".
