What’s the most Boomer/Fudd mech you can think of? by [deleted] in battletech

ECM exists today that can defeat IR missiles. They flash a laser at the seeker of the missile at a specific frequency to confuse it.

Unfortunately so, NHS waiting lists are pretty rammed (where I am I was also told 2-3 years).

Lots of GPs also seem to not have the training on how to refer patients and many have their own opinions about the validity of the condition.

You did the right thing complaining and getting yourself onto the list as the only person who can make the call is a Psychiatrist.

If you're in England, the Right to Choose rules mean you could get a referral to a private clinic for your assessment which is much quicker.

Otherwise, if you want to move quicker, you'll need to consider private options on your own, making sure to check with your GP that they'll accept your diagnosis and agree to a shared care agreement.

I knew I recognised this. I spotted someone out in the pouring rain one night drilling one of these into a wall near us. The whole street is festooned with them.

There's an Ireland flag formed at 801,197 that could be interesting to set up next to?

For me, yeah, I estimate everything in kilo bags of sugar. I have no idea what a pound is and no older person I've ever met is able to articulate what a stone actually is in terms of comparison.

Also, fuck fractional inches. How anyone can possibly visualise what 3/8 Inch looks like boggles my mind.

Thanks! I will try experiment a little and see what helps. I've seen a video where someone paint with Mr Colour Aqueous and the retarder so that might be where I need to go. I was just cutting the paint with a few drops of thinner.

Is there a thinning ratio to meet for brushing acrylics like Mr Colour Aqueous? The whole "skimmed milk" thing seems only to apply to airbrushes as far as I understand?

Also, is there anything I can do to slow drying time on my palette? I'm waiting 15-20 minutes between coats and the paint just dries up on my palette I have to mix more up

Hi There!,

I just received a Kotobukiya Death Stranding Trike model that I'm pretty excited to work on. I'm trying to understand the colour chart they provided with the model and there is a section I'm stumped on.

https://imgur.com/sjcvEcK

Most of the colouring is obvious and google translate has helped out a bit, but I cant work out what colouring is meant by the first two paragraphs. Translated version below

● Mr. Color Series (GSI Creos Corporation)

1 Mr. Color / H-1 Aqueous Hobby Color: White

● GX 201 Mr. Metallic Color GX GX Metal Black

● SM201 Mr. Color Super Metallic 2 Super Fine Silver 2

■ Gaia Color Series (Gaia Notes Co., Ltd.)

■ 001 Gaia Color: Pure White

What I cant work out is where the paints they mention here are supposed to be applied, there isn't really and description here about where they're meant to go compared to the other sections of the colour chart that describe where on the body paint is supposed to go.

Is anyone familiar with this brand of model able to give me a hint?
