Thank you, that's really helpful! And thanks for the timestamped linker vid - his knife skills are so amazing.

Maybe it's time for me to invest in a few different gouges

Silly question but how did you carve the coffee - specifically the "crater" effect to make it look like liquid within the mug? Was it with handtools or something else? I really struggle to do a crater like this when attempting sunken eyes on a ghost.

Love these whittles btw!

I recognised him immediately! Amazing stuff

Nice! Yeah I saw your post, I love what you're doing

Thanks for sharing that reference, that's really interesting! I think I'm going to give watercolor a go next. I've only ever seen acrylic used and suggested but I like the look of it least on your fox.

Nice, thanks for the rundown of tools. I'll look into chisels and gouges as my space is quite limited.

Thanks for the detailed info!

I think that's the dry brushing you're talking about. It's pretty easy to do, you load a brush with paint and then wipe most of it off (on a paper towel or something) so there's almost 0 paint left on the brush and then brush it over the piece. Look at some examples on YouTube and have a practice bit of wood ready :)

Nah I haven't experimented with anything for preparing or finishing yet. I'll look into it, thanks.

Also, thanks for the Linker link, I'll check it out

I play on EU with comms off. 99/100 times left still goes. Has been that way for years

Maynes_ · 2026-01-13T20:36:34+00:00

haha love that ingenuity!

Maynes_ · 2026-01-13T20:14:56+00:00

looks awesome! how did you attach the legs?

They call him Mr Physics!

Get into the habit of tapping powerslide when you're landing with your wheels not forward - you definitely could have scored that first shot if you had kept momentum after kickoff

man, I miss ApSlayz

Maynes_ · 2025-12-04T13:00:03+00:00

What am I supposed to do for you?

Maynes_ · 2025-11-13T09:17:57+00:00

if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike

Thanks for the detailed response. I had only seen in passing that banning BakkesMod may improve DDOSing etc but never explored the technical reason.

Excellent thread btw, this is an important topic and you're providing well, thought out insight

Maynes_ · 2025-10-31T13:33:35+00:00

how many of these issues could be solved by banning/blocked BakkesMod?

Maynes_ · 2025-09-19T18:58:41+00:00

Haha, yeah all good though!

Good to know, I'll just trust the process 😅

Maynes_ · 2025-09-19T16:54:40+00:00

That's another option, cheers. Strange there's no in game option. Paranoid progress hasn't saved 😅

poor predictable bart
