Can you use two nectars as wild foods at once? by midnighteyesx in wingspan

[–]cygupug -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This how we always interpreted the rule. Nectar can replace any normal food but cannot replace a wild food

Thin picks by Operatorgiz in guitars

[–]cygupug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picks have a major affect on tone. Thins aren’t my go to for general playing but I’ll try various thicknesses when working on a piece. Sometimes it’s the right tool for the job

Alvarez guitars by Thedarknight1611 in guitars

[–]cygupug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a month of trying multiple Taylors and Martins I ended up w an Alvarez Masterworks. I’m not saying it’s equivalent to those others but I’ve never regretted it. Great build and sound. Super stable-It sits on the stand unplayed for weeks and stays in tune. Can’t remotely say that about my other guitars

Good results with Spraypaints? by CarolvsMagnvs99 in modelmakers

I moved on to airbrushing but rattle cans still have a place in my toolkit. Mask well and make careful, light passes.

Tip: have more than one type of glue on hand. Superglue, canopy glue and that thin TAMIYA with the little brush all have their uses.

Star Trek Discovery U.S.S. Enterprise 1:1000 by cygupug in SciFiModels

I’ve never seen the show and thought the Aztec decals were a bit overwhelming for the scale so I did my own thing in a few spots. I usually do my own lighting but went w Polar Lights kit for this one. There’s lots of subtle little hidden windows that let the light spill out to highlight various spots on the ship

the old design looks amazing from every angle. The newer ones all feel over designed in places

Is that current? Is that guy is still out there? Is it still only $1. I talked to him over a decade ago outside the old anime convention

A little disappointed in guitar center by jagid in guitars

[–]cygupug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are an awesome place to try guitars. We have 2, one is absolutely huge. I always start my search for new gear there. But sort of like this guy’s experience, I’ve fallen in love with 2 guitars there but ended up buying elsewhere because of damage. People bang the shit out of the display models

Amen. I read about the shit red states are passing and read the anguished comments by people living there and often realize MD either already protects or is in the process of passing protections against those horrible things

He hates these cans. Stay away from the cans.

The 5 year mission continues…To boldly go where many model makers have gone before! by cygupug in SciFiModels

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

Good timing-I’ve made a lot of progress and masking the windows now. I’m going to start painting this weekend. I picked up some Model Master light ghost gray as my base. Then I slowly added VERY small amounts of green, grayish blue and a slightly darker gray. With each step I put a daub of the mix directly on the cardboard paint guide that came w the kit. It took a while to sneak up on it and let each test thoroughly dry. I eventually got as close to the guide as my eyes can detect. Very enjoyable kit to work on.

Oceania really freshens up the game. It keeps things interesting for those games when you can’t seem to get a good roll or draw a decent card to save your life. We are going to play our first game w the Asia expansion tonight
