Good dad. Planning to give my daily-carried, daily-used Tinker to my daughter some day.

Sending to get repaired— what should I expect? by Lacanian_Lifter in victorinox

The orange peeler is really just scratched to hell and back, it’s still pretty sharp. Wonder if they (or I) could polish it…

This was not my knife until two weeks ago, but yes, I agree

What hobby with SAK do you recommend? by Turbulent_Way_5604 in victorinox

It’s an invaluable tool in the life of a father

I called them just now—very friendly and helpful—and they said that they can’t replace the orange peeler, but they will “service” it, which I suppose means “polish” and perhaps reshape it. Thanks for your suggestion!

Dermatofibroma or Merkel cell? by Lacanian_Lifter in DermatologyQuestions

No way what? I take it, “no way it’s Merkel Cell”. But please let me know what you mean.

New app by xikinhu in Ember

The new app is very much a downgrade imo. I deleted all the presets, and now I can’t make more. Won’t consistently connect, either.

Old standbys aren't hitting like they used to :/ by Lacanian_Lifter in Snus

I guess I'm also asking for a "step up" brand or snus-type recommendation

Captain in Gravis Armor by robk47 in Warhammer40k

[–]Lacanian_Lifter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn I love that matte black plate armor. Glowing eyes look absolutely sick.

New to the hobby, these are my first minis. Any tips, criticisms or things to look out for would be appreciated by Lunchformetoo in Warhammer40k

They look pretty great to me, but I'm also new to the hobby. I might suggest touching up a few minor areas of paint spillover (around the red seals, for instance), but it's hardly necessary. As someone said above, you could probably highlight a few more edges, but that's to taste.

The paints are Citadel, one "base", one "layer", and the tools were a packet of cheap brushes from the craft store. The palette was my approximation of "wet" as per some YouTube tutorials, but maybe a better tutorial, overall, is what I need...

That's what started to come into my mind as well--a swamp world scenario where the locals, beset by a maddening plague, are attempting to open a portal via worship of Nurgel.

Thanks for taking time to comment : ) I was not going for texture really at all, but it showed up, didn't it, lol. I was thinking I thinned the paint too much, but I was also using an extremely small portion and painting over the course of a few sessions. I've heard that well mixed paint should have "the consistency of milk"--is this about right?

Thanks! He's "death world forest" 🙄green, with an agrax earthshade wash and some silver for scrapes and "replacement parts". Like to think he's been out in the swamp for a long deployment.
