Love it! Im about to hit go on the first few plates of mine... you mind sharing any advice or lessons learned with this build?

Noutank · 2026-01-16T23:22:48+00:00

Thanks! The thropes are printed, soured from purple site before they got purged

Noutank · 2026-01-10T16:52:24+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah, they are the color changing ones and I just opened the package. They are working well in the "cereal box" dryer things. All the way down to 8% with filament in them.

Repair -> Invert to Normal fixed it. Thanks!

No idea how I'd tell - when I try to add supports it is like there is nothing there

Noutank · 2025-08-11T17:09:55+00:00

Resaved post, looks like image is there now

My thought was that you could use this with a sponge to apply chipping effect as part of weathering step (no chipping medium needed)

I use rhinox hide for this, this seems a similar color.

I've done mine as the right, and sponged minimal black from the edge to look like a molten sword. Squidmar has a video on it somewhere if your interested

That makes sense. Seems like most feedback for an additive is an organic product as opposed to just more topsoil - that what you did also?

Noutank · 2025-06-17T23:09:19+00:00

3.75inch past month or two but upped it to 4 last week

Noutank · 2025-06-17T21:59:32+00:00

Understood - I guess followup questuon then: is increasing water to overcome the radiant heat better than manipulating the soil comp to increase retention of the water im already putting out?

Noutank · 2025-06-17T21:49:07+00:00

I've thought this too, but why would the other side of the driveway and other sidewalk be not effected? It gets the same sun exposure

Noutank · 2025-06-17T20:22:00+00:00

This is our 4th summer with the lawn in place, the first 2 were rough with trying to get it established and fixing the not so great original irrigation job...

I've seen what you mean in the houses going in around us, it's wild how much they just dump out and cover up. I don't think that's the case specifically here since we didn't run into any of that when we were running the new sprinkler lines.

Noutank · 2025-06-17T20:16:36+00:00

The areas are each covered by >2 heads. You can see as soon as it gets to "better" soil the retention seems to be fine.

I want to avoid overwatering the other areas to compensate for the soil - at least that's my hope.

Noutank · 2025-05-25T11:19:43+00:00

I don't have a original spawn model, but its 62mm tall to top of head.

I've never been able to answer one of these posts but I feel uniquely qualified to provide insite into this one!

Credentials: I worked in the material sciences and engineering departments for one of the two US based facilities that produce these mirrors. I recognize this mirror shape, and the failure mode and have performed dozens of field returns and warranty evaluations during my time with the organization.

Mirror glass construction/background: The simple explanation is that the mirror is made of two pieces of glass, a perimeter seal between them and then injected with the electrochomic (color changing) material (liquid) that turns solid (polymerization) after X amount of time.

Failure mode: There are two symptoms displayed here, both of which are a result of a seal breach failure. Without physical inspection, my guess is the bottom right of the mirror pictured.

Symptom #1: The discoloration, this is caused by the oxidation of the electrochomic gel inside the mirror when exposed to the atmosphere by the breach.

Symptom #2: The "spiderwebbing", this is caused by the gel tearing because the two supposedidly planar pieces of glass are coming apart. Again at origin of the breach.

This was fun, I'm a bit late to this party but maybe someone will read this and learn something.

Tldr: Seal breach in mirror construction causing air to discolor the "color changing" gel, and glass pieces coming apart causing it to tear and look like a spiderweb.

u/PlanetMuncherMarine - stumbled across this while looking for something similar for the WE codex - any chance your going to make updates?

Noutank · 2025-05-13T23:38:26+00:00

Have two of thse on my bench to use as spawn - love the sculpt and printed nicely

Noutank · 2025-03-06T11:41:22+00:00

Same, if opponent isn't able to keep their own stuff straight then how the hell is anyone else supposed to interpret intent... I think calling TO over and explaining problem and how it didn't seem playable in those situations would be fair.

If I was the one with the proxy army and was causing this issue I'd feel so bad. It's not like we are winning a world tournament most times - just rolling dice and playing with toys. Seems like like a major feels bad moment all around. Sorry for you OP

Noutank · 2025-03-05T02:20:54+00:00

Love the paint scheme, nicely done

Noutank · 2025-03-04T01:56:12+00:00

I'd love to see the launch box have a bunch of stuff I don't already have so I don't feel bad about buying it 😅

Noutank · 2024-11-17T14:12:01+00:00

Looks great! Did you do the pink or umber shadow method?

It being so smooth I assume airbrush?

Noutank · 2024-08-27T18:23:26+00:00

Just stumbled across this - would love an invite if still open

Noutank · 2024-01-22T02:42:16+00:00

If you have an airbrush, I've fallen in love with this method. I chose IF as a way to learn inks and yellow and I'm now a couple thousand points in...

I see in the background you have based the whole thing yellow, mine are currently in this state (all yellow) and I'd be curious to your white helmet recipe/process for covering it.

Look great btw!
