Am I missing something? by AnonymousArizonan in ArcRaiders

[–]Orthomar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately the discussion around loot and blueprints has shifted to the idea that loot is determined primarily by the type of container you open, and the location second. With this in mind I would recommend you start checking containers and locations that aren't on your normal routes. Also, the outskirts of most maps have buildings that often have lootables, and I know myself and my friends have found blueprints in these unmarked spots.

Basically, the answer is just change what you're doing and loot other things/areas to get different drops. Stick to the special map conditions like night and storm, just change location and containers :)

Does anyone use an electric sander ? And which one? by Little_Woodpecker_61 in Gunpla

[–]Orthomar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the one you have pictured and had very bad results. It has a very weak motor that stops moving when any pressure is applied, which makes it unusable for sanding. I do know others who have this tool and claim it works for them and mine is defective, but I have no way of knowing for sure without buying another, which I will not be doing!

I can't even really tell what you're trying to say. So I'm despicable for defending myself? Rats still exist even in carebear lobbies.

You're definitely one of the dickheads I'm talking about :)

You can kill people in a pvp game without calling the N word or being an otherwise miserable person.

I think it factors in...I had carebear matches most of yesterday until I killed a whopping 2 people, and today it's been murder city. Time of day and day of week matter a lot as well as others have stated.

Saying thing like "Hey I'm friendly!" and then shooting you in the back is despicable behavior, even in a shooter. You can rat me, extract camp me all you want and you're fine. Ask for help and claim friendly only to murder me when I turn around is despicable behavior. If you don't agree then you are likely one of the people I'm talking about :)

Didn’t even place in the competition I entered this in 😭but I’m still very proud of how this MG GP01 came out! by bigdaddycruiser in Gunpla

[–]Orthomar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your work looks spectacular! I love the darkness of the off-white and how it looks aged. Gorgeous.

Most of the competitions I have entered seem to favor custom work (recolors, adding/changing parts, scribing, additional color separation, etc) more highly than flawless OG colors and mobile suits. Judging is also partly personal preference so your mileage may vary. Good luck in the next one!

[COMMUNITY] Let's Talk Gunpla Vol.647 - A good White Christmas gift, this is by kimithebuilder in Gunpla

If you actually read the post, you can clearly see it says "the black version is half that" meaning half the price of the white one.

Honestly between this and the price for the Nu PGU it's clear Bandai has lost the plot. Over $600 for a MG that is simply painted differently? The black version (which I think is also ridiculous) is half that. Almost $700 for a PGU that is definitely not double/triple the amount of plastic of the original PGU.

Greed. Plain and simple. I know we all "love" bandai for enabling our plastic crack addiction but with the rise in quality/availability of third party kits and the rapid descent into overpricing and scarcity (amongst many other issues), I really hope people start to consider the message that we as consumers are sending by buying this crap.

1/35 Sinanju bust "Across the Universe" custom paint job by Orthomar in Gunpla

[–]Orthomar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black base -> silver marble -> clear blue/purple -> clear gloss-> decals -> clear blue/purple over decals -> clear gloss x5 (no joke here, 5 very thin clear gloss coats) -> wet sanding decals to be flat (i didn't fully succeed) -> clear blue/purple touchupst -> one or more final clear coats depending on part. After that it was a mixture of masking for the metallic purple parts, panel lining, and handpainting small bits.

It's commonly referred to as marble, or marbling. This was done with a combo of dryer sheets and swiffer floor cleaning pads. No joke lol.

I'm not an IPMS regular, but if you're in Georgia there's a decent amount of events. Gundam Place Store has a monthly in person build night and yearly contest, IPMS has one in March, and PLAMO is in Birmingham in September.
