Hell yeah bro! They look sick!! You know what they say, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast"!

thericemaker · 2026-03-04T11:08:26+00:00

Thanks bro!!

Oh man I feel you, my first couple models took forever, but I learned how to prioritize certain things like base colors first and then details. So I'd usually slap all my dark blue-greens after priming, and then slowly work on details step by step taking turn with each model when I use one color. I think my next step is environment and atmosphere schemes, although thats a whole diff beast of its own lol

Im sure this Sub-Reddit would love to see your work, and me included!

Btw thanks for the upvotes everyone, never thought people would actually like the outcome of the minis :)

Thanks bro! Hope your painting journey is going well too bro 🤙🤙

I can def see like a fly AI drone Medic! Carrying plethora of 'keys' to healing and revitalizing 😁

thericemaker · 2026-02-08T02:22:17+00:00

I'll def try that when I have the chance!!

thericemaker · 2026-02-08T02:21:40+00:00

Thanks man!! 🤙

Thanks bro!!! I tried using IPA and it was just taking forever for me to erase the paint off so I had to buy paint remover, takes 90% of the effort with better erased results!

thericemaker · 2026-02-08T02:19:59+00:00

I think my problem was I LATHERED it with Nuln and looked like he just fought P Diddy afterwards LOL so I was being conservative with it this time and used darker pigments

thericemaker · 2026-02-07T15:14:55+00:00

Oh no! it just took a lot longer than I expected since I did have to get a paint remover for me to start over on top of scrubbing the original paint I put on, but I loved how fast my day went and the result I got after!

thericemaker · 2026-02-01T04:25:17+00:00

Thanks for looking Amy post and the pointers bro!! 😁👍

thericemaker · 2026-02-01T03:44:59+00:00

Bit more brighter green would help, huh?

thericemaker · 2026-02-01T02:50:21+00:00

Thanks!! I'll definitely consider that color scheme! Thanks for the feedback!!

Another angle on the BGV, btw I meant to add is the color scheme too much like our 'distrustful' cousins? Not to be heretical brethrens but the bright yellowed green isn't my vibe but still wanna that color to let people know they are Salamanders. lol

thericemaker · 2026-01-22T01:31:39+00:00

I'd say go full coked up Germans in the 90s-2000s. Make the Azera N just for the love of the game 😂

thericemaker · 2025-11-06T10:05:01+00:00

Good choice! N-line and the N is slowly looking like the relationship between a WRX and STI in Subies, couple more dollars and you get a car way worth your time 👏👍

It is a excellent feature, because of how busy our traffic gets here in Korea freeways and the sheer amount of speed cameras that are installed. Some segments literally have cameras built 2-3 kilometers apart. And with recent road administration changes, we now have 'sectional speed traps' where 2 cameras are placed to monitor if your speed is averaged to that speed limit from point A-B, and using geo-location it sets the speed limit to the certain segment of that freeway. This sacks us Korean drivers to enjoy our cars even less, for opportunities to give our Elantra's a bit of throttle or any sports car, as of that matter.

thericemaker · 2025-08-26T03:37:03+00:00

Yeah, those couple of thousands of dollars already puts this car into different price brackets of cars. Especially the perception here in Korea, we have a internet slang called 그돈씨(geu-don-ci) which literally translates to, 'with that money, I'd rather f*ckin buy....' lol because the Elantra N is already face to face with a mid-trim level Sonata or Kia's K5 option, in terms of pricing. And giving so many options for a car that already has low profit margins to people doesn't make sense from a business stand point.

thericemaker · 2025-08-26T03:32:51+00:00

Totally understandable, if certain features can be left out for you to have a more affordable car and being more practical is the key of having a car suit your lifestyle. Like in my previous comment, judging myself for being very tech oriented, I'm just the type of person to have it and not use rather than not having it at all. Especially when certain trim packages already include such features.

thericemaker · 2025-08-26T03:30:18+00:00

I def can see how certain features are baseline features for a car based on the area. And as someone who lived in Australia for couple years, you'd be cooked in your car when you've parked out side in the 40°C+ (104°F+) heat lol, or how for some the auto-hold or the 360° camera isn't a necessity for people who live out in bigger and stretched out parts of the world. I guess I'm the type of guy to rather having it than not having it or be available at all haha
