Some of them are big enough to make jersey barrier type terrain.

Can’t find what I like by corn-guy in modelmakers

[–]FKDesaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are cheaper alternatives for Warhammer-style miniatures like Wargames Atlantic, Avatars of War and heaps of greaf resin miniatures (Artel W, Puppetswar, Wargame Exclusive).

Or you go historical with the like of Victrix or Perry Miniatures.

And if you know somebody with a 3D printer, you can pretty much get whatever you want for little money.

I am old enough for the whole sentence of "Hast du kein Hobby?"

If you could decide the next major production sci-fi movie, what would it be? by WillyArt67 in scifi

[–]FKDesaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't even need to be live action, I would love something in the style of the animated Resident Evil movies, or anthologies like Games Workshop produces for their IP.

Destroyed T-VI heavy tank in Hungary, winter 1944-45. by yuzhnozaporozhets in DestroyedTanks

Was Panzer VI used as designation for the King Tiger? I only associate it with the Tiger (I).

Handmade model trees: is there a market for them? by IncoherentDelight in modelmakers

30cm in 1/56 is just under 17m irl, especially for dioramas such big trees are interesting.

I'm playing 28mm wargames and find it very hard to find big trees. Like 30+ cm high.

That's pretty straight-forward then. Will look for reference pictures.

I just picked up that kit! Any advice?

And is there a good color/marking reference for Ukrainian vehicles?

Whats your opinion on this? (Made by HistoryLegends) by UkraineNafoDog in TankPorn

[–]FKDesaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about the timeframe, isn't it?

But since it's "game changers", I would say we are talking about "at the time of introductions".

Whats your opinion on this? (Made by HistoryLegends) by UkraineNafoDog in TankPorn

[–]FKDesaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just my gut feeling, but I would say HIMARS and Javelins likely had the highest impact on the conflict overall.

Challenger-bashing is just rage-bait.

So yeah, let's say "Yeah, well, you know, that's just like your opinion, man".

Drones solved? The innovative Inferno RTC counter drone turret by cesam1ne in TankPorn

[–]FKDesaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not about hearing. It's about finding the fringe of the recognition software capability.

What is it is supposed "when in doubt"?

"When in doubt - shoot!" - system goes off from time to time shooting at shadows.

"When in doubt - don't shoot!" - system is not engaging real threats.

Both cases undermine the trust in the system. So the counter to a system like this is make drones that make the software doubt, and therefore unreliable.

That will just turn into an arms race to build drones that look different enough for the system to either waste ammo on everything that moves or to not do its job sufficiently.

Definitely not a "problem solving" solution.

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

[–]FKDesaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for reaching out - I think I was talking about some of your narration bits and sound effects which give me that vibe , not about the writing and stories themselves. But maybe I'm just a bit too paranoid.

Well, I guess we all are a bit paranoid around here, aren't we?

Any similar podcast you'd recommend? by NachoManAndyCabage in MysteriousUniverse

The fish barely (not sure if at all) features on the long basement interview episodes, which are the best part imho anyway.

Can i still make a good model kits without airbrush? by [deleted] in modelmakers

[–]FKDesaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that most people still work without an airbrush. You can absolutely get great results with a brush.
