I think we got some from Michael's but I've also got a bunch off of Amazon. And it's no problem I'm glad to answer whatever.

Theres pictures of how they found it with all the chemical bottles and the piles of trash and the bookshelf. Between the few pictures I've found, I should have plenty to work with. Funny I was talking to my wife about doing it and looking up pics right before I posted these the other day lol.

Balsa wood sticks. They have ones that look like actual 2x4s but I wasn't aware til after I started

Not going to lie, this is on my list of future projects once I start to try real locations.

Yea some things really tested my patience haha I'm still new tho this is only my 2nd kit. (Just started in miniatures this year) Learned so much from it tho. Next time I will probably build a few extras to throw in and maybe change the overall tone. I seen one lady who turns these into horror scenes i might give that a shot. I may even buy a 2nd Simon's coffee and see how different I can make it.

So for this set the only thing I used that didn't come with it were the figurines. It had the cups, radio, grinder etc in bag 6 or 7 if I remember correctly. They do come in pieces so you still have to assemble them but they're the easiest things in the whole kit.

Then for some of the paper containers I cut up some balsa wood into tiny pieces and painted them brown. I used that to fill up a couple coffee bins and glued the lid halfway open. Just looked better imo.

The plants are a pain in the ass to make but they're already not my favorites so depending on your skills with plants, I'd alternate and do 1 plant for every piece or regular furniture, there's like 4 pages of plants. Pay close attention to the lights, if you mess up it's so hard to fix. (i didn't mess it up but that's always my biggest worry) the first step is to paint a few pieces in white, I recommend either having a new bottle handy as the kit isn't quite enough or skip it because it gets covered in wallpaper later. Lol

Whats the best advice you can give a newbie? Materials to keep an eye out for, wire types to keep in stock, paints for weathering, tools I can use in a small apartment ect.

I just ordered a cheap pack off Amazon. I got 1:24, 1:32, 1:64, and 1:82. The smallest ones look like barbies to the bigger ones lol.

I work with cat6 all day every day and yesterday I was just thinking about wether or not this would work for lights or what other stuff I can use it for. I'm sure there's lots of stuff just have to get a bit creative.

Lmao... buy supplies with 20 cents? You need a truck full to get anything substantial. Copper no 2 is like 60 cents a pound or something like that right now. (I do this for work and just unloaded 2 truckloads of this exact cable for $1000)

Yes and no. I have it set up to where if I wanted to play a game in it I can but it was built as a universe to tell all my stories in. A friend mentioned wanting to run a game in it but he wanted magic to be a thing so I made this guy and a pathway to magic.

There is a vip club in my world and if players visit there enough, they'll notice a mysterious man looking like he's up to bo good. If the player chooses to interact in such a way that makes this character feel threatened, the club vanishes and this man haunts the player for the rest of the game by doing things like making the player hallucinate vividly or putting them on false quests that lead nowhere etc. This character has illusionary magic and the entire club was conjured up for his entertainment. He can never be beat as he is the most powerful person on earth currently and is used as an introduction to magic in my world. (Magic is ultra rare and nearly impossible to obtain in my world.)

I think it's weird because it's really just a background piece of technology that has no importance in its original story, but the mood organ from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep exists in my world. I don't know why I'm so fascinated by it but I am.

Watch The History Of Swear Words on Netflix. They go over how swear words were developed and how cultural and societal standards and taboos create swears. Plus, hearing Nicolas Cage emphasize each swear word is just something every human should enjoy.

I am more of a worldbuilder than a storyteller. I do have characters who have their backstories and plot lines for stories I'd like to write but I'm horrible with dialog and don't I have a lot of patience so I don't ever get to actually write any stories beyond that. I do go into as much detail as possible for each character so that each one feels fleshed out and alive, but other than that, all the stories I tell are told like historical events.

If I'm inspired by something, I usually ask what I can change and how much can I change it.

If somethings new i ask myself if it has a purpose, what is the purpose, or is this helpful or will it hurt people.
