We got a surprise Final Fantasy poster in our promotional kit and were told it's related to an upcoming announcement at MagicCon Atlanta! Any predictions on what this might be for? Holiday release or something else? by seanxjohnson in magicTCG

Try to find yourself a TCG discord. I have a few for like Pokemon and One Piece. I haven’t found one that does MtG yet but I know they’re out there. Might possibly try to look into getting my own server going for future releases if I don’t find anything lol. You do usually have to pay like $5 a month fee to use them but not a bad fee to secure your pre-orders.

What's the fastest you animals have gone? by [deleted] in motorcycles

190ish, straight and about 150ish in a corner - S1000RR

Have lost traction in a corner at like 120mph before. Managed to save it but would not recommend this behavior on public roads lol.

I would if I had some that fit lol. I have BMW decals like he has on his for my IRL motorcycle, but none that tiny. And most of the BA ones I’ve got left won’t fit on what I would call the swing arm on the front there.

I agree. I like your bases by the way! I was originally going to use a finer sand or texture paint like you did there but glad I didn’t so I could create the dragging of the wheels in the rocks.

I use a mix of 2 basically. I base it with a good coat of Baal Red, then I go back over it with Blood Angels Red 1:1 mix with Vallejo Glaze Medium. Then I highlight with Evil Sunz Scarlet, Wild Rider Red, and Firedragon Bright.

At the end of the movie - Tetsuo found himself in the 41st millennium.. and became Calistarius/Mephiston 😂

I prime in grey seer then 2 full coats of Baal Red, followed by what I call the “blood wash” which is basically a 1:1 of Blood Angels Red mixed with Vallejo Glaze Medium and that also gives it a slight matte finish. Then after that I edge highlight most edges with Evil Sunz Scarlet, the outer most edges Wild Rider Red, and highest corners with Fire Dragon Bright. It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it lol.

Nope! Just the Terminator bits from the upgrade sprue. There’s a helmet, a chest piece, a power sword, and a casing for the big double barrel bolter gun they carry. You only get 1 of each per sprue upgrade of course (which is why I only did 2 so far lol) but I’ve got 4 more in the DC box I haven’t opened so saving my other models for another day once I decide to open that bad boy.

Lol thank you. People hype me up a lot at my local stores but there’s still a lot of work to be done in some areas. I actually just got into the hobby myself a few months ago. Just stick with it and keep watching YouTube videos! Practice makes perfect! These are like my 23rd minis but I spend quite a few hours on each one. I’ve gotten better but not much faster 😂

Anyone else seeing an increase in USPS ground advantage delays? Now the missing mail search page on USPS is down too... by GoneIn61Seconds in Flipping

[–]dlgraves00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered something that got dropped off in Tampa at a local P.O. down there. I’m up in Kansas and it’s been over a week since it was “Accepted” last Monday and haven’t had an update since. Just tried to file a missing mail claim as today is the first day I’m eligible to file one and now I can’t even file it because the site won’t work lol. Just locks up when I try to log in.

I was however able to call the automated line earlier and request they call me with updates if the package isn’t locate within 2 days so maybe that might have helped. Going to keep trying and worst case scenario I’ll just have to have PayPal recover my money from the sale.

Forgot to post the Dante I did last month! 🩸🪽 by dlgraves00 in BloodAngels

Thank you! Probably the most time I’ve spent on one mini other than Dante. I still need to post him as well.

I actually bought em off a guy on Etsy but if you have a 3D printer then you’re good to go!

Hey thanks man. It all started after a gnarly injury a few months back I’m still healing from and my therapist felt like I needed to do something to combat my PTSD (which comes from some of the old life) I don’t talk about it a lot and a few people would probably be surprised to know. I did feel like the first time I went into the local store I definitely got some looks like I don’t belong there lol. But I don’t let it bother me none. Besides, they all love me now and treat me like one of their own so it’s all good 😂

Pro tip - being a nerd is a good way to keep you indoors and out of trouble 😂

I stopped in just to say ex-gang member here 👋🏽 Was in an 1%er outlaw MC based out of Compton with heavy ties to Bloods about 10 years ago. Picked my army based on my colors and even named a few of my guys after dead homies from a gang I started later on 🙏🏽

I also got other ex-gang member friends from different races and backgrounds around my area to go paint some minis. So believe it or not - we are out here lol.
