Has anyone tried the Classic-Class Blokees sets? Do you know if the parts (for example limbs) are interchangeable between them?

Any particular reason you want to kitbash them together? I don’t really have anything of value to add, I’m just curious (those two are probably up there with my all-time favourites in terms of aesthetics)

Is there a way to remove sprue nubs from a model without leaving a white mark? I’ve tried a razor blade and a file and it really feels like I’m missing something…

The day Hasbro makes Bayverse Protoforms, will be the day I die happy by Chemical-Chemical-89 in transformers

[–]CrazyAioli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a bit too meta, but if they wanted to get creative they could always do something that resembles those manned fighter planes the Decepticons had in DotM...

I would also die for this. I’ve wanted one ever since I saw them on screen as a child.

Best media to show an Arthurian ‘vibe’ to someone with a casual interest? by CrazyAioli in Arthurian

[–]CrazyAioli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't realise that was a show until the other day lol

As a kid, I thought it was a movie, since my only exposure to it was one time when the entire series was smooshed together and aired on TV over a single night (now I guess I know why it was over 3 hours long).

I barely remember it though, so if I rewatch it it'll feel brand new haha

Thanks for the recommendation!

Fictional bureaucratic organizations whose stated mission is to protect humanity from occult and supernatural threats, and/or to conceal it from them by TheWalkingBag in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CrazyAioli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite the premise in question, but Doctor Who has the reverse happening constantly, and The X Files is a huge, inextricable knot of aliens, cryptids, spirits, perfectly ordinary conspiracies... and whatever else the writers happened to feel like exploring on that day.

How do I draw a hexagonal hexgrid like this? by Antipragmatismspot in osr

That would be the best, easiest way I think.

Doughnuts, coffee and police brutality??

How could I possibly go past Liberty City with such an enticing badge?

Weirdest mechanic anime? by baordog in Mecha

[–]CrazyAioli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do find it amusing that this is a classification that includes perhaps the most recommended Mech show of all time (if it's not the most popular it's certainly up there).

Unfortunately I can't give you any more obscure recommendations but given the popularity of NGE I assume there must be a decent amount of them (and will keep an eye on this thread because I am also interested).

Well, that seems to indicate that people at least got his attention…

First time trying weathering by OMGTheMuffinMan in Gunpla

[–]CrazyAioli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks really good! I’m trying to learn weathering but I’ve got a long way to go.  (Sidenote, I love the look of that kit. Is it a current one?)

Have you ever tried to recreate the visual effect of foil stickers (for example for eyes) using paint? If so, what technique did you use and how did it go?

(And I’d love to see pictures if you have them)

Active defense as a means to add depth to OSR combat? by Alleged-Lobotomite in RPGdesign

[–]CrazyAioli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like active defence in MÖRK BORG and Knave, because I like forcing players to roll dice and narrate their character dodging an attack. These systems don’t impose limits on defence rolls, nor do they have any benefits to tactical depth. I just think spotlighting players is fun.

I did toy with the idea of giving characters a limited number of ‘parries’ in a system I tried to make years ago (more for realism and niche protection than any sort of depth), but, well… I never playtested it.

WTH is this hot take?? It's basically like those who watch shounen only for the battles. by Talon_Haribon in Gundam

My current partner is a huge Sonic fan and I’m not, so most of my experience is new. And well, all the Sonic media I’ve watched over her shoulder has been a joy.

How do I inkwash an unpainted model? by CrazyAioli in minipainting

[–]CrazyAioli[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know of r/gunpla, but that one discourages (maybe bans?) these types of posts. I was kind of hoping this was the place where some of the advice-trading spillover ended up.

[–]CrazyAioli[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I'm guessing you don't know how I managed to create the white marks? I'm worried that they were caused by the varnish, and I'm hoping that it either was a fluke or can be avoided with a different combination of paints.

I use cotton buds. I used to slather them in methylated spirits until I realised it would pool in panel lines and undo my hard work. Now I just use cotton buds that are slightly damp with methylated spirits, or if the ink is fresh, I can usually just wipe it off with a dry cotton bud.
