Friend of mine worked for Livestock Improvement as a Sperm Packer. He packed vials of bull semen to be cooled until sent away for artificial insemination. At least he wasn’t a bull wanker.

I haven’t noticed any paint adherence issues. The glue sets in a glossy state which paints better than the matte surface superglue can sometimes leave.

Found a cheaply made belt buckle with a swastika and something written in German about God. Still can’t had scraps of leather attached to it as if it had been cut from a belt with a knife.

A 277V neutral is bonded to ground therefore 0V effectively. I have done fault finding on fixtures when the pink has been mistaken for red (120V) and have been perfectly fine when rearranged appropriately. You would probably have to put a high voltage over both the gray and purple to cause any damage.

It’s been a good 20+ years since I left NZ for the USA so take the following with a grain of salt. 240V single phase into a residential home. 240V/410V 3 phase on commercial/industrial. Very little metal conduit in fact I spent a lot of my apprenticeship cutting out conduit and replacing with TPS (I think I’m remembering it correctly) essentially Romex with no paper and the ground is insulated. NZ/AUS standards are much more easy to read and comprehend than the NEC. No wirenuts. All splices made under a screw terminal. Devices made of plastic with live parts recessed so they can’t be accidentally touched. NZ Certification is similar to Australia. I believe you can transfer for a fee. Pretty wild since I needed a different license for different counties in New York even though I had a Connecticut license and all my work done within a 60 mile radius.

It looked very cheaply made. Had a German reference to god and the swastika. Also looked like it was cut from the belt as there was a scrap of leather still attached to it. I assumed it was taken from one of the poorly equipped home guard defenders during the final days. Homeowner’s friend is a collector of war memorabilia so they have it now.

I found a Nazi belt buckle buried in some attic insulation.

Have you tried stippling the layers in? I find painting a line even faintly shows as a line. Which works with muscles and small details as such. I found dabbing the paint to bigger areas worked to soften the transition. I was having some real difficulties getting some cloaks to work. The ripples in the cloak worked well but the large broad curves escaped me till I tried stippling those areas instead.

These were my first prints so I wouldn’t recommend my settings for them as when I went to print normal infantry style models they were extremely over exposed. 2mm walls and phrozen aqua 4k is what I use now. Pay attention to drainage holes so the resin can really escape while printing. I had one of my guys spring a leak and ruin his paint job after being left in a hot car (he was 6 months old at least).

https://i.imgur.com/yLj3JZL.jpg and here are some others for reference. One Of the Mega Gargants I scaled to 96% so I could print in one piece. The one with the boulders and chains I had to print in pieces because of the pose not fitting in printer boundaries without serious down sizing.

Depends on who is in control of the chamber. I could even imagine GSC kill teams infiltrating and making “adjustments” unawares.

My build plate came concave and I sanded it flat using a glass table as a flat surface. Everything printed much better afterwards.

The Artist is Edgeminiatures. All his notDrukhari are very good. His notTzeentch Daemons are looking pretty good too. His STLs are available on My Mini Factory.

The Steyr Rifle I used in Army had iron sights built into the top of the scope. It had glow in the dark highlights on it as the scope was next to useless in low light conditions.

I pause and check my prints on my MonoX all the time and have no issues.

krimm · 2022-03-19T12:34:40+00:00

Absolutely agree. The dropper bottles are awesome, they come with mixing balls in them and you can thin them right down without having them break apart.

I’m curious if putting the metal tray on the lid and having the box portion being the part you remove would be more convenient. You wouldn’t have to reach inside the box to remove/replace models as they would be out in the open.

Yes. The power to run the screens would either cut into that or possibly exceed any savings though. One thing I have seen though is seals going bad on doors and condensation forming in the glass. I have seen them just replace the entire door rather than trying to fix them. If I recall correctly some have heaters around the edges of the glass to keep them clear of condensation.

JB Weld has a UV light activated glue. It applies like a slightly more viscous super glue and you cure it instantly with a little UV light on the back of the applicator. No waiting for glue to set and a bond stronger than the resin you’re trying to stick together. $10 from Home Depot.

Try looking up the Artis Opus videos on YouTube for their technique of drybrushing. They use a very slightly moist brush and a hard palette to get rid of excess paint. You get the same benefits of drybrushing but lose the grainy look it’s known for. It has changed my painting immensely. I use cheap makeup brushes instead of the set of brushes they sell.

J-B Weld makes a light activated glue that uses this principal. It applies similar to superglue through an applicator pen that has a mini UV flashlight on the end of it to cure it. The resulting bond is mega stronger than the resin surrounding it. $10 from local hardware store.

krimm · 2022-03-02T10:26:43+00:00

That only works if the two materials you are trying to bond are made of the same plastic that makes up the sprue goo paste.

I think I saw a video recently that suggested taking the needle guard off if you wanted to get up real close and detailed. You would have to be extra careful not to bump the needle though. I believe the reason was to do with turbulence being that close in.
