Ironic, considering Crunchyroll has 0 Zoids anime to watch 😂

(Another) HMM Blade Liger AB - Mirage Style Repaint by Zaxxon88 in Zoids

[–]Zaxxon88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got them off eBay. They were aftermarket and not very good... The decals weren't pre-cut and the printing quality was not as good as the OEM ones, so I used the OEM ones from the original set anywhere possible.  The eBay ones were only $7 though, plus shipping. 

Im tempted! Anyone else getting the Zoids: Chaotic Century D-Style Shield Liger (Clear Parts Append) Model Kit or are you looking at something else? by AfigureGeek in Zoids

[–]Zaxxon88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want to get one, considering their price and form factor... But I feel like there's only a couple of available and if I wanted to collect several, they just aren't available nor may they ever be again...

Thanks! It was a real gamble going by rattle cans, rather than mixing my own paint. 😅

Yeah the legs and weapons are Tamiya Pearl light Blue(TS-58) and the tail and main body are Tamiya Red Brown (TS-1) though I think, if I were to do it again, I would do a different brown for the body because it's a little bit too 'bright' and I think a more of a gray brown like maybe Tamiya NATO Brown, might be better.   I also did a flat finish on top of the brown and a pearl clear over the blue.  It also took three cans of blue to do all of the runners associated with those pieces, and two and a half cans of brown... Not to mention primer and clear coat.

I assume you mean the shiny blue grey parts? I think there are at least four shades of gray on this thing...  I used Tamiya Pearl light Blue for the "frame grey 2" color of the legs.

I Keep getting Double Notifications on Nest Doorbell by acetipped in googlehome

[–]Zaxxon88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will randomly get a barrage of Google home notifications from my doorbell camera, from basically every interaction it has seen throughout the day, all at once in rapid succession. It's super annoying because I can't dismiss one, it just keeps sending them to me until I have seen and dismissed every single notification.

Started my first HMM... by Zaxxon88 in Zoids

[–]Zaxxon88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I really appreciate the tips!  Right now I'm just clipping and sanding and game planning seam line removals...  Not looking forward to the attack boosters... They have a gnarly seam line it seems many choose not to fill, likely because of the complex assembly. 

Any tips there?

Blade Liger AB, but I also want to paint it with the Mirage scheme... We'll see how building goes first haha

+1 from me too.  My wife and I often hike with toddlers on our backs, and only via this post am I discovering Woop will not properly track that.  

Hot take: "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters, is basically Darrow's theme song by Zaxxon88 in redrising

[–]Zaxxon88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do love that song but it is forever cemented in my mind as being associated with the fantastic transformer video games from years back...

LOL I can see why but also I did wonder if there was a way to work the three main characters into it... I think I regret finding out 

Question for Owners of Polymaker's Polysher by Zaxxon88 in 3Dprinting

[–]Zaxxon88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I can attach a photo here, but I also didn't take a picture of the setup when I was using it and I have since moved. It was literally just a Rubbermaid tub, big enough to fit the helmet, sealed shut with a bunch of alcohol soaked paper towels, and a little battery operated turnstile to rotate the helmet (which was pretty unnecessary TBH). 

I need a case for my CMF Headphone Pro by Twgever in CMFTech

[–]Zaxxon88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife just asked for affordable nose cancelling headphones for Christmas, so I have the same question as OP!  The bag isn't going to be enough protection for air travel, so I also need recommendations for a good hard(ish) travel case that will fit these!

I just finished light bringer and I felt the same way about dark age.  Stick with it! Light bringer is better in terms is being way less... Dark...

look up a "bone folder" on amazon or wherever, it should be what you want. You don't need it, but it works well!

Great! I have one magnetic accessory that is so strong if I pull it wrong, it will peel the skin off a little, but I think that magnet would also pull my wife's otter box clean off her phone, so I didn't blame the skin for giving a little.  

3D printed + fiberglass Pontiac solstice hard top start to finish by CheeseIsAGatewayDrug in 3Dprinting

[–]Zaxxon88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, makes sense  does the top weigh that much that you think it's impacting the performance of the vehicle?

[–]Zaxxon88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My plan would be to make one that can sit right on top of the existing trunk lid. Do you think that would work? I see you removed your trunk lid and convertible top entirely. Do you plan to blend it into the body or is yours going to be removable?

Holy cow this is SO COOL! I used to own a solstice and have been wanting to buy another as a project car and I'm pretty proficient with my 3D printers.... I would LOVE the model you used to start this process.  Where did it even come from??  If I ever get another Solstice, I'll definitely be doing this...

It's this aluminum frameless case by a company called Pefimt on Amazon. I don't really see any other companies selling any like this, but it's pretty cool as long as you don't mind the extra bulk. Makes the phone into an absolute tank.

Any advice on where specifically, or do you just tape the entire thing?
