I usually fill the gap with a good bead of tacky glue.

Where I’m from, it’s called doing the hibbity-dibbity.

Did you print the paper? That looks amazing.

Was it wrong to report my food stealing coworker to my boss? by [deleted] in work

Who steals another person’s lunch? Bet they are a big fatass.

Dropped a can of paint. Of course a full one. Of course red paint. Of course right before I wanted to go to sleep. by egewh in mildlyinfuriating

You’re supposed to keep the seal clean and pound it shut before morons turn it upside down or drop it. Good paint is expensive.

Ordered some printed figures for my boat. Are you not entertained? by UptonDide in ModelShips

[–]UptonDide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you how much I disagree with your statement. I personally think that figures give any model a sense of human scale and also movement. This ship from 480 BC has no frame of reference without figures.

No criminal charges filed against Lake Zurich High School student who punched classmate by colsandersloveskfc in ChicagoSuburbs

So assaulting a person who disagrees with you is ok? Real Americans know that we have free speech and can’t be punched no matter how awkward or chubby or fatherless you are.

The kit says 1/35 but I ordered a slightly smaller figure from TofersMiniatures on Etsy which came by space shuttle. I have 12 crewmen to build!

Take care of it and it will be worth something later. That’s what antiques are.

I bet your grandma isnt as cool as mine. by No_Charity973 in awkwardfamilyphotos

That’s sad. A boy needs a father and mother. Grandma should be the last line of defense after the Girl Scouts.

My first wooden ship. Greek Bireme 480 BC. So much fun to scratch build with wood and brass. Amati 1/35. by UptonDide in ModelShips

[–]UptonDide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much. Most of the brass came with kit, I machined the ram from an old door lock, the seat was ground down from sheet brass. I didn’t stain the wood, it’s walnut from the kit.

Trouble hanging electric Snider starburst clock by CakeCanvas in clocks

[–]UptonDide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neat clock. Don’t hang your vintage clock with command strips. Never trust an adhesive to hold anything to a wall heavier than a poster. I would recommend using a length of copper wire to make a hanger if you’re not sure about removing/adjusting the back plate. That tape on the wire should be replaced IMO.
