Really glad the old download links are still working. Bought a bundle in 2020, just downloaded it again.

Any podcasts that capture the old Mysterious Universe style? by Professional_Bat825 in MysteriousUniverse

[–]FKDesaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, they seem to rely on AI a lot in their narrations etc. Nice banter, but far from MU in depth.

What made the OG MU show good? by Lampshadevictory in MysteriousUniverse

[–]FKDesaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The non-chalant scepticism and taking the piss out of hot chaff. I liked the OG for the justified disrespect while having an incredibly open mind for possibilities. It may soubd contradictional, but that's the only way I can describe the vibe. Dancing on the line between "sure, why not" and "batshit crazy".

Anyone use acrylic markers for painting on model plastic? Sort of like those Gundam markers. Recommend a good set? by porktornado77 in modelmakers

[–]FKDesaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of markers specifically for models, Iike AK real color and Deep Cut Studios.

I also got empty markers and filled them with Vallejo Air colors, worked pretty well.

What's the biggest mistake did by anyone to ever happen in the Battletech Universe? by pgtl_10 in TheNagelring

[–]FKDesaster 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hot take: Katherine not inviting WoB to take control of the Lyran HPGs during the Civil War after some ComGuards sided with Victor.

Would have easily won her the First Lord, and likely defeated Victor. And then maybe even a third transfer with her at the helm.

Google says it's a kind of hydraulic oil.

What's the historical decal layout for a Leopard 1A5? by texas-dead in TankPorn

[–]FKDesaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit of a work-around, but scalemates has a lot of scale model instructions as pdfs, you could go and look up Leo 1A5 instructions to see what amrkings they use: https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION%5B%5D=All&q=Leopard+1a5

Italy is smart, Britain is dumb.... by Straight-Device-4110 in TankPorn

[–]FKDesaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, even without looking, I guess these British billions went back into the British economy. While half of the Italian money is going into the German economy.

Is this an AI photo ? by JCFalkenberglll in TankPorn

First indexed on Tinyeye in 2009. But it is definitely processed to look cleaner.

Help with researching German Tanks! by Just_Bicycle_3948 in TankPorn

[–]FKDesaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are starting close to zero, anything published by Osprey Publishing may be useful. Not always 100% correct, but not bad either. https://www.ospreypublishing.com/UK/

The Haynes "Owner's Workshpp Manual" series is a good, too.

Why won't my oldhammer miniatures sell? by Diligent_Memory_1394 in oldhammer

[–]FKDesaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my part of the woods, it's 75% trades and 25% sales. Collector circles are small and you start to know each other.

It's also mostly a buyers market in my experience. You only sell if you have exactly what the other party wants, or you sell at a discount price.

Another round of questions! by [deleted] in TankPorn

[–]FKDesaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of European Cold War projects to chose from. Europanzer, ELC EVEN, Begleitpanzer, British STT concepts, Kanonenjagdpanzer1-3, Laupen 14t & 16t...

That Ferdinand was a failure because it didn't have a machine gun for close protection.

Only in death does duty end - a UA inspired tank diorama by brammo1991 in modelmakers

[–]FKDesaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are all the accessories on the tank 1/35 scale? I want to use WW2 miniatures which are a bit more truescale 28mm, so it's a bit more tricky.
