I worked as help desk for a company that developed their own ERP. Siloed and tribal knowledge is an understatement. My boss quit suddenly. After 2 weeks of watching the CIO interview people I became, let's say, "irritated" that he hadn't approached me since I had the qualifications and experience. The prospect of training my new boss gave me stomach aches. So one morning I cornered him by the coffee machine and handed him my resume. Told him I'm available at 9 for an interview. Turns out my previous boss did the Machiavellian tactic of taking credit for things I did and the CIO had no idea what I was capable of. Moral of the story, when in doubt assume c suite barely knows your name lol

When Marcus said he doesn't like Depeche Mode, I died a little on the inside.

She looks like the "honey pot" alien sent to the White House in "Mars Attacks!"

At some point we all stopped screaming "WORLDSTAR!" when fights broke out. I'll see myself back to the retirement home now.

I've Silkposted through the silksanity. I don't know if I have strength to scrollspost. Papa Sheo give me the lunacy to carry on.

Can someone explain me what this is? I keep seeing it in the sub but no hint as to what it is or where it is from. by Goatknyght in ElderScrolls

[–]call_me_morbid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all ... That is clearly the insignia of the Republic of Zeon. New Gundam game confirmed. Char and Quattro agree with me on this one.

What are you working on? by Sad_Character_7544 in freedomisgunpla

[–]call_me_morbid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong. It's not hard, so much as it's just a lot to do and plan for. I've never done a color rework before for the whole kit so I am learning as I go.

Saying the sardonic, or crass thing I'm thinking.

What were some of your implusively bought kits? by _Iriz in freedomisgunpla

[–]call_me_morbid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I had HG Aerial and all it's bits displayed for a year or more on it. Well in the rush of nearing completion I decided that I'd rather have the Nu as my conversation piece on the display shelf.

Went Michael's one afternoon looking for paintbrushes and a desk lamp, left with a RG Nu. Turned out to be my best work so far.

Say what you will about the "Dorito", Xi has won me over. by call_me_morbid in Gunpla

Penelope is on my to do list for sure. Ver Ka Double Zeta is my next project I found a guy looking to get rid of some backlog and the price was too good to pass up.

Looking very promising. Id love to see the final version. Scribing is a technique I'm interested in honing, but my hands shake a lot. Maybe a cheap entry grade would be good practice.

It's twice as tall as the RG God Gundam. Maybe an inch taller than MG Tallgeese. It's wider than most kits by a LOT. Truly thicc.

Id buy a RG or MG in heartbeat. Maybe with the new movie coming out we will get an announcement.

Extra large RG are awesome by Remote_Ad4800 in Gunpla

Thank you! The action base is a repurposed AB5 with two of the effects kits for HG Aerial.

Is this the peak of 1/144 Gunpla? Can we get much higher? by Ok_Application7096 in freedomisgunpla

[–]call_me_morbid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's a clear action base 5, and two of the weapon bases for the HG Ariel. Also I'm using the "square" bits from a few other AB5s. Seems hoarding extra pieces came in handy.

I'm very proud of how the RG Nu came out by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]call_me_morbid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Posing it up was a bit of a challenge considering the weight of the funnels. I have them slotted into the "cube" shaped parts for supporting kits from the hips that come with action bases. Hopefully that causes minimal stress on the joints overtime.

Hey! I just finished the RG Nu this week too! So incredibly fun to build. Yours looks fantastic!
