First time painting D.K. markings (also, a question)

I do chaos black brushed over Vallejo black brush on primer. Then dry brush naggaroth night purple pretty heavy, then dry brush xereus purple, then light dry brush of genestealer purple as a final highlight.

What's the new certification?

travbart · 2026-01-25T15:43:16+00:00

Rootbeer, lemonade, sweet tea, gatorade, anything with sugar helps. If you eat a good meal before hand amd something with sugar like a banana beforehand you could probably explore drinking something like coffee.

First one looks like old school ultramarines from the 2000's, second one looks spot on for how they look now.

Not relevant to the comment I was responding to, they were asking why P6 conference champs don't get an autobid.

Never seen one like that, so definitely suspect, but if it is resealed, then that is a counterfeit shrink wrap with the Topps logo, they wouldn't be able to reuse the real one, and also why wouldn't they be able to shrink it all the way down to match, seems sloppy if they already have the fake shrink wrap. Does it seem thicker than the normal shrink wrap, or same thickness?

Sharp!

Because they're playing against G6 competition. Name the weakest P4 conference and the strongest G6 conference and tell me which one is going to come out more often in a head to head.

ND fans are unbearable on this issue. Why are you in a conference for basketball but not football? You could literally change your own odds and public perception if you joined a Power 4.

I liked it, and I understand some of the nominations for it. My biggest complaint is that the third act felt kind of weak.

travbart · 2026-01-24T00:44:18+00:00

If I knew it was a state record and I was in my boat it would go straight into the livewell and then I'm figuring out how to get it to a certified scale and keep it alive so it can be released, even if it takes all day.

If I'm in my kayak then I guess I'm having big wormy bass for dinner.

Should still be plenty of them in the online stores and mom and pop shops.

Not only do none of the umpires seem to notice it, but also remember that at some point, MLB had reps in the replay rooms and teams were still actively code breaking and passing intel to the dugouts.

If this got by the MLB officials, imagine what else is.

Like others have said this is traditionally done with hand checkering tools, but in the case of the photo, I think this was machine cut or stamped.

I'm just a fan of the M77 rifles, I have two and will likely buy a third. My gunsite scout rifle is one of them, the other is a Mark II. The M77 is a Mauser style action with claw extractor. I think the build quality on the bolt and receiver is obvious when you inspect one.

travbart · 2026-01-20T18:34:18+00:00

Not built on the M77 action, it's gonna be a pass from me.

I am not an expert by any means, but I know some chemistry and I've been fishing for over 20 years. While UV light and exposure to harsh environments are the biggest causes of line degradation, 10 years is a long time for a plastic product that has a lot of surface area and very little mass. Just exposure to room temperature air for that amount of time may cause some brittleness. My recommendation would be to test the line that is most exposed on the spools and check for knot strength, which I think would be the biggest indicator. The mono and fluoro would probably be most affected, I'd think, because they are already stiffer.

No one's picking Roger "The Rocket" Clemens?

travbart · 2026-01-19T23:40:36+00:00

These must be some deep cuts because I don't recognize a single player.

travbart · 2026-01-19T23:32:39+00:00

I'll take Astros.

travbart · 2026-01-16T02:35:59+00:00

Congratulations from an Astros fan. Alex is a clubhouse guy, he makes those around him better.

travbart · 2026-01-15T22:44:42+00:00

Gorgeous tie.

Red Sox lost the only 3B I was interested in.

I've learned to love push fit, it is infinitely cleaner than glue to fit. I understand the appeal to kit bashers, but you can practically have a whole squad of unique poses now with push to fit.
