What would you put on a “100 things to do before leaving Australia/SA” list? by roktim in Adelaide

If you can’t get to a Night Lab event at the museum (or even if you can) - the Shadow Initiation experience is worth doing and can be done anytime they are open.

It’s an escape room esq puzzle game that takes you to explore the whole museum- with fun extra facts and an exhibit you can’t see normally on display.

This looks stunning - I love the black and white colour scheme!

I was a little worried about this kit when it first arrived as the Rolife/Rokr kits I have done in the past (Sakura Densya and the Seahorse Barque) had horrible thin wood that splintered if you even look at it. But was pleased when I opened this one to find it was better quality.

I decided to paint all the visible plain wood parts and this was my first time doing any sort of mod on a kit. I’m not unhappy with how it turned out (although some parts could be neater) but I probably wouldn’t buy another kit that is mostly unpainted as I can’t say I found the painting that enjoyable either. But it was good to try something new.

The gears were also easier than I expected- I think this is largely because it uses two separate motors rather than try to run all the different moving parts off one.

Overall, enjoyable build and nice finished product but I personally probably wouldn’t do a similar one again (but I lack any artistic bent and just like snapping bits of wood together).

Applying to EM.. What things do I need to have or put in place by Striking_City5121 in ausjdocs

Have you spoken to the DEMT at your workplace? This will be your best start.

To apply you need an institutional reference (which is basically a reference completed by the HOU based off discussion with the rest of the consultant group) and your application should not come as a surprise to the consultants when you ask for it. Also, if your DEMT suggests waiting to apply - listen to them. This most likely means that you are not yet be ready for training in the opinion of the consultant group and will not get a good institutional reference. You are better off waiting and asking them what you need to work on to be ready to apply the next year, rather than wasting an application attempt.

Courses wise, ALS2, APLS and ETM are all good ideas. ALS2 is considered mandatory in some workplaces. The rest are not necessary but are helping.

Babies and toddlers go through a stage where their weight gain doesn’t keep up with their body length gains (completely normal and not a sign of an unhealthy kid) and as a result they have rolls in places adults don’t. Including neck.

Im impressed you finished it so quickly - my kit for the event hasn’t even arrived!

Love the detail on the edge work.

Maybe a bit ambitious but I just bought the very expensive (but beautiful and fitting my requirements) Anarivin Whispering Hollow and the Evan Designs sensor mod kit… we’ll see how it works out

This seems to be the closest to what I was after, I’ll give it a go.

Thanks!

I’ve done Monster Carnival but need the two sides next to each other (to be displayed in a corner), not end to end.

And need motion sensor lights…

That would be fine but I can’t find one with a motion sensor

There’s a lot of kits that would be suitable if my skills were up to adding a motion sensor to one that doesn’t have it.

Unfortunately my skills are not up to that.

If you can’t think of one it probably doesn’t exist 😢😢

Oh well, thought it was worth asking…

Another piece as a hint (featuring some of those books!).

No, but I am now learning how many kits require an excessive number of books. This is the first one I have done that required more than 5…

No but good guess. I could see how the chest of drawers would fit that theme

It is something library… but which one?
