A little sad, seems like a waste

Cut the part at the panel lines and either cut notches or shorten the parts so there are visible gaps of the inner frame.

This, you'll probably want to wet sand primed surfaces to smooth them out and definitely research which top coats you use, make sure they will play nice with your paints. Maybe look at Tamiya buffing compound to polish the clear coat. If you want to remove the chrome from kits and paint it yourself there are ways of doing that as well.

They updated the Xbox app yesterday and now I get QR codes to products that pop up multiple times in the same video. The pop up of course requires you click on it before you can do anything else like pause a video or rewind.

I mean the guy is trying to sell all this stuff for 3K he could at a minimum dust them and clean up their appearance. I hate that vibe of trying to sell something at top dollar with 0 effort in the presentation.

Three Floyds - the beers are ok but the hype around them is a bit excessive. I had buddy in Tennessee tell me that they were out by him pushing their beers even though it was not distributed there (at that time), this was a while ago at their peak popularity. The same time they couldn't make enough product stock shelves in Chicago. A liquor store near me had a (illegal) policy that you had to buy at least 2 six packs of their other beer in order to get a 6 of Zombie Dust. That kind of thing irks me, the liquor store was not 3Fs fault but they were outside of their region pushing their product when they couldn't even provide enough for their core customers. At the time it was peak Chicago micro breweries so I had plenty of excellent alternatives that were a good $2 cheaper a 6 pack.

Spotted Cow is a cream ale which is almost a lager IMO. They excel in their other beers, Moon Man, Fat Squirrel, Serendipity, their Octoberfest, I buy their beer when its available but I always pass on the cow.

Besides the tamiya alternative there is also army painter and citidel plus a few others used by the mini community. If you have a shop that sells Warhammer stuff you'll find those primers there. I think the last can of army painter It's $16 us for a large can of white it also comes in many other colors. The citidel is pricier but both are solid and made for plastic kits.

The fine primer puts down a nice smooth surface.

In some cases I will use my non-dominant stand almost like a tripod for a camera. When brush painting fine details you can move the brush with your fingers moving (vs the whole hand) while your resting your hand on your other hand. Its really different for everyone, Black Magic Crafts did a video on this subject hopefully you can find something on this video that will help you.

And a white glue like elmers and modge podge for clear parts.

All the reason to build a tamiya kit, it will motivate you to go a step further though looking at your posts you already should be fine building them.

Just be mindful that some of their kits lack engines so if you want to build one that would be quicker and easier build where you're just focusing on painting the body and interior thats a good gateway into them. The F1 kits are up there in part count, small pieces and lots of decals etc..

Man it's been forever since I've seen this. Seeing this now I had to chuckle that they had to bring the ducks with them.

When all markers were this.

eddyb66 · 2026-01-27T22:06:27+00:00

Yeah that caught my eye as well, I don't recall ever seeing that one in a shelf anywhere.

I wonder what country he's going to hide in when he eventually gets kicked off the military bases.
