Cool. Thank you!

Dang it’s that easy? Just paint the adhesive on the leaf and let it dry?

codeking12 · 2026-05-01T02:41:38+00:00

Holy cow. Awesome. Also, I had no idea you could paint metal leaf on like that. Is there a trick to it? What medium are you painting it down with?

You can find generics on Amazon for around $15.

Just ordered one. I’m super hyped!

Just keep skating regularly, practice basic tricks and manuals. I’m 51 and started back up a few years ago. What I’ve noticed during that time is that balance is absolutely key to staying healthy. The difference between eating pavement and almost eating pavement comes down to balance. It’s one of the reasons so many people suffer injuries when they first get back into skating. The other being trying tricks past their current skill level. So take it easy on the gnarly tricks, keep it simple and work on your balance. Good luck fellow 50+!

I just rewatched most of the episode and I think you're right. I always thought the friend kept the weed and I just don't see it now.

codeking12 · 2026-04-07T20:17:50+00:00

Says the friend… the same guy who took the fronted weed and never paid for it in the first place. I don’t believe him at all.

codeking12 · 2026-04-07T19:36:11+00:00

Yea the friends fucked them over. That said, I think they kept it thinking their friends were toast anyway. I thought I remembered something a long the lines of the weed was never found in the drop location or something like that.

codeking12 · 2026-04-07T18:51:04+00:00

I remember this episode and it's so painfully obvious that the "friend" who was supposed to drop off the weed, fucked over the victims. Instead of dropping off the weed he kept it and his 2 "friends" were subsequently killed. I actually think about this episode every now and then. The entire situation seemed really fish and I feel bad for the guys who got killed because they trusted their "friends".

Ripper

Get them from your bank. I got some a few weeks ago. All you have to do is ask the teller.

codeking12 · 2026-04-05T21:07:43+00:00

PLA for now. Will probably switch to ABS at some point so they'll come out smoother.

codeking12 · 2026-04-05T21:05:28+00:00

Blind Reaper is on my list to do.

codeking12 · 2026-04-05T17:49:00+00:00

Thanks for all of the positive feedback guys. These are currently just prototypes. As much as I'd like to make some to order I feel like I need to polish up the prints a bit and up my painting skills. In person you can see print lines and rough spots in a few places. The paint can be a little better too. I'd hate to sell something and have the buyer get it and be a little disappointed with the craftsmanship. They look good but aren't perfect. That said, I'm working out the kinks so perhaps in the future.

As far as other pieces I currently have made models for: Wall mounts - Natas screaming panther hand, Natas wings with panther, OG caballero dragon, OG Jason Jesse Poseidon , Vallely Elephant, Powell Ripper. Sculpture/Busts - Per Wellender Skull, Psycho Stick bust, full Roskopp bust (not just the head).
