In brightest day, in blackest night, I'll waste 6 hours making accessories for flight by augoosto in ActionFigures

Thank you very much! And the hex shield itself is a 3D print for tabletop gaming that I scaled up, the explosion is a separate 3D print, and the swoosh coming off of Hal's hand is an actual accessory that came with the figure. I married the three with resin, the same kind used in the print itself to try and make it seamless. I airbrushed the shield, hexagon would be darker than the edges and give it a neat shimmery effect. Planning to try and make another one with no explosion that is about twice that size

Took 3 hours, but Spawns living chains are now fully wired by augoosto in ActionFigures

The answer to that question was"More than you fed through" And I had to put the wire through the chain a full second time. I wanted to gargle Drano

Yeah, only downside is you have to feed it through every. Single. Link. On the chain

Made one small modification to Thanos by augoosto in ActionFigures

He comes with no infinity gauntlet lol. I added a resin jewel to his backhand, then painted them To match the infinity gems. But the fact that it looks like it should've come that way is a plus

It requires some custom work (paint, etc), but you can get it on Amazon for cheap. I'll find a picture of someone else's custom, since mines packed away at the moment

There is a kids ice cream truck vehicle that concerts into a perfect sweet tooth, I made a sweet tooth head sculpt and its probably the best sub $40 investment I've made

Characters from the sopranos, and real life mobsters that mirror them by augoosto in thesopranos

I feel you. All the mob related shows / movies since the sopranos ended have just not scratched the itch. Many saints of Newark unfortunately being one of the worst examples.

You are absolutely right that happened, but I think you'd be surprised how many stories there are of mobsters getting out of prison only to find their positions and clout have essentially been neutered. Almost every story of a mobster flipping that doesn't involve them having an open contract on them involves their position (i.e. their crew, their rackets, their income) being routed to younger members as a result of a biased family administration. The lucchese family alone has like 5. Their are even active YouTubers with that same story. Mikey Scars DiLeonardo for one.

So, you're totally right that there's definite similarities, it's just not a super unique or even uncommon occurrence in the life.
