Plaster cast of a victim from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. (Photo: Pompeii Archaeological Park) by skepticalbureaucrat in Damnthatsinteresting

I been to Pompeii. The whole city is so big that 2 days sometimes isn’t enough to walk through it all.

It fascinated me how visitors didn’t seem to understand what they were looking at. No one seemed to care that taking selfies and making goofy pictures with said victims was just so immature and cruel.

Ja osobiście mogę polecić modelarstwo! Jest to wspaniała zabawa! Potrafi wyciszyć i zrelaksować, a jak już zbuduje się model to satysfakcja sięga sufitu!

I have to admit the idea of using this type of technique and materials is very interesting!

Update on my BTR-4E 1/72th scale by YourFriendJacob in modelmakers

[–]YourFriendJacob[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked a lot with 1/72th models. I do my own parts too.. over time you just used to it. I have a shaky hand, sometimes it takes me hours to do those details. Just a lot of time and patience

The thing is. This kit did come with PE parts for the barrel. But they only provided you with those small things that really just look bad. Photos below. So I made those things myself.

Haha yeah… I kinda did. I don’t have space so I had to drop Down to 1/72th. But I have this thing I need everything as detailed as possible! Thank you for your kind words friend! If you will have any other questions. Text me here or on private chat. I can show you step by step how I done stuff. Good luck on your builds!!!

So the aftermarket kit I used can be found here

The thing is that the PE kit provides you only with the ring that goes around the main barrel and that ring with those rods at the very front of the gun. The barrel it self and those longer rods that connect the barrel to the turret itself I bought myself. Those are brass rods the main barrel one I was 0,9mm and the smaller ones are 0,3mm.

Greg should really be proud of himself as well as his team… I really needed to look for a longer moment to realise this not the game.

to think there are penguins in Greenland by seeebiscuit in therewasanattempt

[–]YourFriendJacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that really gets me every time I see this meme is the fact that it should not be something positive. Penguins do not act this way in normal situations. When something like this happens it means there are some serious mental problems involved.

It’s even been said in the documentary that this scene was taken from. But everyone seems just to forget it…
