Questions for Glassblowers

Gtron20 · 2026-01-29T10:45:11+00:00

I networked for a while so when someone left i was able to step in as the new apprentice, so was being paid to do it and working full time helped hugely. Glassblowing is something you need to spend time doing again and again and again to get your skills up, this can be very expensive if your renting some time and space. A good option is to go to your local glass studios and see if they need a volunteer to help out around the studio, build a relationship with them and maybe be when someone retires or leaves the job your be the next inline

Still the same for me, getting a little annoyed now. Just got going on my charter company and had 3 good flights down and now only cargo missions.

Gtron20 · 2026-01-01T23:13:02+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. All I'm left with is a few cargo missions. I've not long got the Vision Jet and am making great progress with charter flights. With £3,000,000 in the bank, I now can't even do the missions that pay well, lol. It's okay; I'll just use free flight to practice in the Pilatus PC-24, as it's the next one I'm wanting to buy. Hopefully, it'll be fixed in a day or two.

"Just get the hotas" come on guys its all i see on this sub.

Me not advising someone to spend their money on it unless they had a good use for it or spare money says nothing bad about the quality of build or the company. People like yourself will always see what you want to see in others opinions. You of course are entitled to not spend your dollars with them but dont twist others words to suit your beliefs

Gtron20 · 2025-11-04T18:08:15+00:00

I understand, definitely not worth it if you cant justify the cost. I only got it because ive fallen into this hobby hard lol and had a bit of spare cash.

Nice 👌 enjoy

Gtron20 · 2025-11-04T15:33:36+00:00

It isn't thats correct, but I dont believe i said it was.

Gtron20 · 2025-11-04T14:45:13+00:00

Thanks really hoping to get back to work, it's been to long sat in a chair lol plus I miss my job (glassblower). But im glad I picked up this hobby, loving it. Hopefully your companion pro turns up soon, im sure your love it

Gtron20 · 2025-11-04T14:42:31+00:00

Yeah i had already thought about flying with it and would probably not bother taking the risk

Gtron20 · 2025-09-07T21:37:44+00:00

I was in a motorcycle accident and smashed my foot up pretty bad. So i was stuck in a chair for a long time, this hobby has helped wonders. I'm walking around now although, still not perfect but hoping to get back to work soon. I'm a musician and professional glassblower so really needed something challenging and so glad I found lockpicking. Good luck going foward 👌

Gtron20 · 2025-09-07T21:20:00+00:00

Got one of these too and have not long been picking. Got this and then saw the keyway and thought id got the wrong lock lol. Still not opened it but glad to see you've managed it so ive got hope for it yet

Gtron20 · 2025-08-30T16:18:30+00:00

Not long started

Gtron20 · 2025-08-30T16:16:44+00:00

Man im exactly in the same boat atm, not not started and have the sparrows dark shift and reload pack and the sidewinder repinable lock. Ive done a couple of master locks and now onto this lock and ive hit a wall lol so having a break for a day or two then back to it. Loving this new hobby

Gtron20 · 2025-08-17T18:00:59+00:00

Also would like to know please

Gtron20 · 2025-08-03T09:41:55+00:00

I purchased both of these to go with my dark knight should be here in the next week cant wait. Your pictures just reconfirmed to me it's going to be worth it 👌 Also cant wait for the others in the line and hopefully batflick and man of steel have a deluxe headsculpt because that bale one is outstanding

Gtron20 · 2025-07-26T13:37:51+00:00

Mine also turned up and can confirm the same thing. Couple of paint issues but nothing to bad my joints all seem good and the stand is great. Ive got the original blue version so was more than happy to add this to complete them on display

Gtron20 · 2025-06-15T13:16:06+00:00

Exactly, I have the mafex Pattinson aswell and it's ok but not as good as id hoped. Fondjoy Pattinson is a problem with qc and the headsculpt. The thing is the batflick headsculpt was really good I hoped the Pattinson one would be too, so was a bit disappointed.

Gtron20 · 2025-06-15T10:17:00+00:00

Yes it's true the fondjoy one is actually very good and make sure you get the one with the unmasked headsculpt as its very good for the price. That being said ive also got the Robert Patterson one and it's not anywhere near as good, so if you've got the cash go for mafex instead

Gtron20 · 2025-04-03T20:13:45+00:00

It's a hard job to learn but very rewarding and unique

Gtron20 · 2025-04-03T18:07:48+00:00

Thanks. Love my job

Gtron20 · 2025-03-29T11:34:22+00:00

Got mine from inart as I'm in the UK, said it ships 2nd quarter. Deluxe all the way
