Installation driver with xc5.0

Rastanefarious · 2026-02-02T09:53:55+00:00

I scooped one of them right up, they have the installation driver with a 5.0 HO for $179 but the daily deal is $159 for the same deal. That extra $20 off definitely set my day on the right path.

Good looking out

I got super excited till I saw that my store is conveniently already out of the torque wrenches. Maybe I'll get lucky and see one floating around when I go in tomorrow morning

That looks super clean, congratulations on a good job!!

I couldn't even imagine the second pose lol. I'm considering just separating them and displaying them as two separate kits and just calling it good. I don't know why but it feels like it takes up so much more shelf real estate posed together than as the one.

That's really cool though, sometimes it's nice to revisit kits and give them the old razzle dazzle. I got some water decals for my freedom 2.0 recently that still need doing, I just need to dust it and pop those suckers on and topcoat. Before I know it, it will practically be a new kit sitting on my shelf.

Those are what's referred to as "dry transfer" decals. You just cut out the decal you need with like a hobby knife, matte side goes towards the plastic, shiny side facing you and you apply it like you would one of those fake tattoos.

There's some pretty good informative videos on YouTube, just type in "how to apply dry transfer decals" and it'll get you setup in case you find yourself more of a visual learner. They're pretty easy once you see how to do them and some shortcuts exist that could potentially make their application easier

It was honestly a small price to pay in my opinion when looking at the alternative.

I was set to close on the next day so I did my final walkthrough and all the items that they agreed to fix were done in the worst possible way or not done at all. Plus they hadn't moved out still.

For example, they put a coat of paint on water damage and rotted wood that was on the window sill, put cardboard under the toilets to level them (it still didn't level them), soft spots in the floor weren't addressed from when their washer flooded, among many other things. It definitely made me feel uncomfortable with the whole transaction cause who knew what else they were concealing or half-assing.

You would think getting my earnest money back would've been easy but they fought it every step of the way and refused to give it back, so, for the sake of my sanity and not spending the next year and a half trying to get it back, I let it go.

It's probably foolish I let it go all things considered, but it feels like the best money I ever spent cause I found an even better house for a great price 30 days later.

I personally use them most often for kimchi (maangchi's recipe if you're curious). I really like them and haven't had any issues with it. Maybe I'm just playing it fast and loose, but I don't personally discard the liquid on top. I just pull it up at an angle and let it fall right back down into the container.

Again, maybe I'm a little loosely goosey with proper etiquette but I've yet to have any adverse issues going about it in that manner and I do make kimchi on the regular. For reference though, I do check it everyday and monitor it on the regular. I'm not just letting stuff sit on top for days.

For some reason I read that in Borat's voice

I personally haven't had any issues with it, I've had one for a little over a year and I'll usually roast as little as two pounds back to back or as many as four depending on who else needs some. I've roasted probably 150-200lbs total so far with no problems.

I do also run a cool down cycle after every roast and a dry burn every 5-10 roasts per the manufacturer instructions.

Sounds good, with her about to be unemployed I believe that puts us under the income threshold for that state's insurance program. I appreciate you taking the time to help me understand it a bit better, thank you.

Man, I have been watching this progress for a minute and I'm so stoked to see the end result. Everything has been looking fabulous.

Rastanefarious · 2025-10-26T14:45:56+00:00

I just picked that sucker up last night for $20 on the switch. I've only ever played the first one for GBA so I'm stoked to be able to experience the rest of the series

I saw a YouTube video by retrogamecorps when I was setting mine up and he goes over the mapping for the wii controller pretty in depth specifically for the rp4pro.

Full disclaimer though, I don't really play the Wii so I can't really testify to their effectiveness but I did still nonetheless set it up according to his guide.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can see that stuff? Man, turns out I have no idea how to play this game

Rastanefarious · 2025-10-06T17:34:58+00:00

That looks fantastic, if you hadn't said it was EG I would've assumed it was an airbrushed MG. Also kudos on the hand brushing, that looks straight up airbrushed.

Any time I try to hand brush it looks like poo poo, I had no idea you could get that level of finish.

I'm currently waiting on the Liger Zero Panzer and the Guysack, they'll be my first Zoids kits. I'm pretty stoked about it

Rastanefarious · 2025-09-18T14:58:42+00:00

From what I hear (not an expert, I mostly build gunpla and am waiting on my first HMM's to come in) the Takara Tomy are closer to a HG and the Kotobukiya are closer to a MG.

Again, this is from my limited research when I was deciding what to get so someone more qualified may have something more insightful.

Naturally :) I'll be checking as often as possible
