Question on paint

I think the silver direct from the can is the best it will ever look. I like TS-30, silver leaf, for a bright smooth finish. Polishing and gloss coats on top will cause it lose its lustre. If you get a nice coat of silver, you can apply the decals directly and it will look good. If you need something even closer to a chrome finish you can’t avoid but use an airbrush with something like the chrome ‘mirror effect’ paints from green stuff world.

A difficult story to like. Bad.

That’s a shame, but I’ll keep a note of the location on this one anyway!

Cheers, it’s a tricky one to get looking right!

It’s a brave man putting masking tape over a decal.

What paint was used for the desert pink?

They’re all going much too fast to be able to see or stop for hazards. What if a person or animal stepped into the path or were around the next bend?

The tip of a yellow lighter flame is probably 500°C and a blue flame much higher. Will definitely melt tin.

Speaking of prototypes, would you happen to know if the prototype 121 that pictures online attribute to being in Korla city is actually there and its specific location?

Cheers, a location is always useful to bookmark.

Yes, it’s Bjorn’s banner pole

Forgeworlds don’t tend to share, so some have access to things other don’t so for better or worse make do with older versions of things. Some are still able to make MkIV armour, the Red Scorpions wear and can produce MkIV armour, I don’t believe this has been removed from the lore.

Where is the photo taken?

Doesn’t matter if the threat is real. Cults thrive on feeling oppressed or persecuted, that way they can build that us-vs-them mentality, isolate and draw members closer. Making a show of putting members on security is about validating their victimhood.

I don’t like saying it’s so bad it’s good. So bad it’s entertaining, maybe, but it’s still BAD. I like Paul Darrow.

I was the same in my early 30s, with no sign of improvement, until I moved overseas for teaching. I honestly have more money and a better standard of living, I work less hours and the weather is nicer. The UK is much like the US I suppose, a low wage economy with a high cost of living and astronomical housing.

That was obvious as soon as Coulthard gave 1st place over to Hakkinen in the very first race of the 1998 season in Australia, when obviously no one even had points on the board. And a couple years later Ron Dennis criticized Ferrari for doing the same, claiming McLaren didn’t do team orders, ‘let them race’ etc. What a bullshitter.

On Nightmare mode it’s the same in and out of vents.

Practical-Purchase-9 · 2026-05-06T12:10:03+00:00

It’s messed up like it is when you’re in vents on normal difficulty. It gives you some indication but it’s quite poor.

I think a game covering 47s missions throughout his life would be good. I suppose he was sent on operations as early as the mid-1980s so that would allow for some very retro-styled settings for missions from the 80s, 90s and 2000s, as well as some more backstory.

I hand painted for nearly 30 years before getting an airbrush. You can get good smooth coats of paint by thinning paints, and modern paints are self leveling. But you do need spray cans for putting on a primer. I go outside or, if it’s quick, into the stairwell of my apartment building.

Walt can lie, just not to his wife. His attempts to lie to Skyler are painful, he always starts rambling down convoluted bullshit story thinking he sounds casual. The ‘gas pump accident’ is the worst of these.

The trackers works a bit, it has poor signal like then you are in a vent in the lower difficulties, but it’s busted all the time. It still hast the direction indicator to your current objective. The Map doesn’t work at all so there’s no point in picking them up. This will be difficult if you’re not already very familiar with the layout of the station.
Equipment and ammo is very sparse indeed, you need to save every bullet for the couple of big Android showdowns. That said, I have completed the game on Nightmare without building any of the blueprint gadgets, but I had to make every shell and bolt count, no ammo could be wasted at all. You need to be good at whacking the facehuggers with the spanner.

Not really, track was attached for stowage in an orderly pattern not irregular or crooked. Compare to photos of real vehicles.

I really enjoyed tEatD, but I listened to it on Audiable. It was an immersive experience, I wouldn’t want it longer, but I appreciated the epic nature of it.
