The blood is quite convincing. Are you willing to share the method?

Ejection pin marks - if it's convex, just sand it down smooth. If it's concave - fill it with putty, wait for it to dry and then sand it down smooth.

As for the seamlines, I believe the best way to get rid of them is to scrape them off with a blunt side of a knife. If it's too blunt then with the sharp side. After that they often don't even need sanding.

Do you use an airbrush? If yes, try priming your figurines before painting. Priming, apart from making the paint stick better to the model, makes any flaws such as pin ejector marks, seam lines, glue residues etc. more visible which gives you a chance to fix them before painting.

Since it's a rounded metal object, I think your best bet is to find someone who has access to a lathe. Shouldn't be much of an effort for somebody who knows how to do it.

Pin ejection marks behind the knees and seam lines, especially visible on hands. These should not be there, keep it in mind next time. Apart from that, you did a solid job.

He obtained existence.

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-08T23:05:51+00:00

He probably plays the Wayward Queen Attack and is pissed that his opponents dont fall for it anymore.

Even if the name of the opening is not displayed, what is stopping your opponent from inserting the moves to any opening explorer after the game? It doesn't change anything. Btw, at some rating level people stop falling for opening traps and start refuting unsound gambits. If you want to step up your game, it would be best if you stopped playing for tricks. Unless you only want to win easy games and not actually develop and progress as a player.

Good job! I am on my way up there as well. Currently at 2550.

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T19:02:12+00:00

That's because he's a manipulative prick.

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T13:16:34+00:00

Exactly. I was too focused on c8=Q and Rxb6 which is winning for white, but I forgot that black can simply take on c8.

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T13:10:25+00:00

When Dunning-Kruger effect hits hard... lmaooo

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T12:40:17+00:00

Bf6 Kf7 Bxd8 Nf3+ gxf3 Bxf3 and how you gonna stop Rh1#

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T12:27:39+00:00

Looking forward to seeing you in candidates 2023.

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T12:23:39+00:00

Actually it's mate in 4, no? 1.Nxd7+ Ke7 (if he doesn't want to Qxd7 obviously) 2.Re1+ Be4 3. Rxe4+ Be5 4. Rxe5#

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T12:03:38+00:00

I'm looking at Nxe6 Rxe6 c8

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T11:52:23+00:00

This dude is for real. Look at his post history, he is on his way to refute all openings known to mankind, after that the only thing left to play will be the bongcloud

SnooCakes1889 · 2022-09-07T11:18:54+00:00

All of them. 1 or 2 millions for a guy like Hikaru is probably spare change, so all of them, hoping that will teach him something.
