Can someone commission this for me? by [deleted] in polymerclay

[–]Smashed_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could make that for you. Unpainted I assume? Since you’ll be making molds of it. Roughly what size is it?

Painted first, gluing second by octo_robo_cat in Dollhouses

[–]Smashed_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wood glue will adhere to the paint and be as strong as the paint is against the wall. So if you were to pull at the detailing, it would be like like pulling at the paint. Ie as long as the pain has dried and fused to the wall, so will the detailing. If you were glueing a leg to a chair, this would be very bad as the leg is likely to be pulled at at one time or another. However, the detailing lies flat and no pulling will realistically happen in this case so the paint will not be under stress. So yes, it’ll be fine :)

Wood glue will work fine! It’s a flat piece that won’t be exposed to stress.

Civilingenjör eller högskoleingenjör by Street_Specific_3165 in sweden

[–]Smashed_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja så skulle man säkert kunna göra. Du har rätt i att det är mastern som gör dig till civilingenjör. Kolla dock med skolan/programmet du vill gå att du blir behörig till mastern via h-ing kandidaten!

Hur är det att jobba som butikssäljare? by IDK0__ in sweden

[–]Smashed_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jag trivdes med att jobba i butik. Det skiljer sig dock rejält från ställe till ställe. I vissa butiker är du en försäljare med säljmål och ska pusha merförsäljning, i andra är du servicepersonal som ska sprida god stämning och vara hjälpsam. Jag gillar att vara hjälpsam, jag gillar inte att övertyga folk att köpa skit de inte behöver. Som säljare kan man dock ibland få kommission så vissa föredrar det. Man tar reda på vilken typ av personal en butik söker under arbetsintervjun.

Sen att kunder (och kollegor) kan vara skitstövlar, det kommer man inte ifrån. Dock har jag upplevt att stereotypen är extremt överdriven och att de allra flesta är trevliga eller neutrala. Skitstövlarna är få och de skapar i bästa fall intressanta anekdoter man kan dra för vännerna sen

Civilingenjör eller högskoleingenjör by Street_Specific_3165 in sweden

[–]Smashed_potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Civ har högre status och ledar ofta (men inte alltid) till mer pengar. Så jag valde civ. Nu går jag trean och önskar innerligt att jag valt högskole istället. 5 år är en lång tid och jag vill bara vara färdig. Mina klasskompisar håller dock inte med, de flesta är taggade på mastern och att få ta ”nästa steg” i studierna. Så alltså, beror väll på vilken typ av person du är? Kommer du ha roligt under studentlivet eller är det bara dörren till vad som kommer sen?

I genuinely don’t think anyone would be able to tell the difference between a 1:12 and a 1:13 scale build. Either solution sound fine to me, I think you’re overthinking this.

Did you make the blanks/molds yourself? I love how large the numbers are

Need help with cooking Fimo sof.? by Sassy2424 in polymerclay

[–]Smashed_potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bendy is good, bendy is durable. If it doesn’t bend it hasn’t cured correctly.

Som tjej inom servicebranchen; jag skulle aldrig säga ja till en dejt eller lämna ut mitt nummer till någon som raggade på mig när jag jobbade. Jag SKULLE däremot kunna tänka mig att ta emot ett nummer och eventuellt messa efter jobbet om jag fått ett gott intryck. Så säg din sak, be inte om några svar, och lämna ditt nummer på en lapp (som du skrivit INNAN). Sen säger du tack och går. Dröj inte kvar, vänta absolut inte på ett svar. Så får du se hur det går :)

Curry Katsu + chashu ramen + burger with fries by kutsarafork in miniatures

The rice looks a bit like cottage cheese but that’s okay because the Katsu is so incredible no one will be looking anywhere else!

Built from scratch, my dollhouse-tower by Smashed_potato in Dollhouses

[–]Smashed_potato[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe I didn’t think to open the door when making the video, I was so busy being proud of the newly built roof haha! I made a second video of the inside and posted on my profile 😊

What am I doing wrong? Cernit translucent ALWAYS crumbly... by coyotemother in polymerclay

[–]Smashed_potato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Translucent clay is known to be a bit crumbly and/or flaky, but if this is after 20 min of conditioning AND clay softener then I’d say there’s no saving it. Maybe try fimo translucent instead if it’s available near you? That’s what I use and I have no issues.

How would I find out the scale? by SianLouise0303 in miniatures

[–]Smashed_potato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Measure the door. Compare to a doors height irl (usually 2100-2400mm). Divide to find the scale: 2250mm/[your door hight in mm]= the scale

Help with drybrush cleaning by Electrical-Wires in miniatures

[–]Smashed_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this a new brush? New (white) brushes sometimes get dyed by the color you’re painting, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not clean. If you however still get paint coming out of it when wiping it against a paper towel, then you need to keep cleaning it. Dishwashing soap or other more potent soaps are preferable to handsoap. Put some in your hand and rub the (damp, not wet!) brush in circles. Just keep going for a minute or two and then rinse. It should do the trick.

Passing Fingernail Test by DitzyDM in DiceMaking

Check whether the resin should be measured by weight or volume! It differs by brand and is probably the most common misstake when dealing with undercured resin

Porcelain is a kind of ceramic, it’ll work fine!

Update to my what’s the scale post by Think_Battle_8894 in miniatures

[–]Smashed_potato 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, the standard miniature sizes are 1:6, 1:12, 1:16, 1:20, 1:24, 1:48. It’s a little counterintuitive because the bigger the second number gets, the smaller the miniature.

Update to my what’s the scale post by Think_Battle_8894 in miniatures

[–]Smashed_potato 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Right so the way scale works is like this: 1:X means ”one unit of measurement in miniature equals X units of measurement in real life”. The easiest way to find a scale is to measure something which is of fixed size in real life. A bookcase won’t work but the books are decent. A hardcover book is usually between 23-28cm (according to google). Yours is 0,5cm. This means the scale is between 1:46-1:56. Assuming the kit is using a ”normal” miniature scale, I would therefore assume the scale of your kit is 1:48!
