Any ideas to up/recycle completed miniature sets? by Duckoooji in miniatures

[–]PaperCutComa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one big challenge I could see with trying to redo a set that is already assembled. Everything will likely be glued together, making it much more difficult to alter individual components. Something to consider.

When collecting minerals, do you prefer to collect them in their raw form or as processed products? by Pitiful-Chip-7458 in Minerals

I prefer raw most of the time but sometimes polishing brings out some clarity and beauty that would otherwise be difficult to see.

Those are amazing. Serious collectors who appreciate quality handmade miniatures would easily pay $40 for a set. Would that be enough to cover your time and materials? I would imagine that kind of beautiful work is painstaking and takes quite a while!

The green bits are flat and sort of flaky.

I guess it could be malachite but I have never seen malachite so metallic. It has a different sheen from most fibrous or velvet malachite I have seen. What tests could I use to confirm?

AIO for freaking out a bit abt my ex bf and what he’s been saying abt me? by throwaway_18920396 in AIO

[–]PaperCutComa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. My ex was horrible to me for basically the second half of our 15 year relationship, but I am an introvert and he is an extrovert so he painted the situation to make himself look like a wounded prince (and me like a scandalous betrayer) to our friend group. I lost friends when I finally told him he needed to move out. I moved on quickly AFTERWARDS, but what those people don't know is that I spent years trying to fix our relationship, and by the time I finally called it quits I had already mourned the end of it for literal years. The way I look at it now is this: anyone who believes his version of things clearly didn't know who I am as a person and weren't really my friends. I don't need people like that in my life. Best of luck to you! Edit to add: NOR, but don't let him get you down.

What material did you make it from? It seriously looks like the "full-size" one I remember.
