I know nobody cares, and I'm just talking into the ether, but I uninstalled the threads app a week or two ago. I hadn't given it any thought until a day or so ago. So I reinstalled it and deleted my account this morning. It just seemed like a bait posting bigot dumpster fire with very little up side
In the failing light of the day, after much tearing and tearing of what little hair can be gripped, the scooter has gasped back to life and has run, unassisted.
The first time I had the carb apart, I couldn't get the jets out. Today I tried again, with a new $3.75 screwdriver, and they let go.
Wow, 🤯. Exercising my right to mental health and sanity is what we're doing right now. WTF. So, "Threads" is just XShitter with a different format aka boomerbook. Uninstalled. Bye! Beginning to consider pitching all social media into the bin. So much hate, and bait posting. Not worth it. 🤬
Poking around with the scooter today has revealed that the fuel is very bad, not surprising after sitting for the length of time it has. There's no water in it and the tank is now empty. Filter is clear but will get replaced. The battery took a charge, commendably. Carb needs attention. Good spark.
This neglected gal is finally getting some attention. With the parts I've had for apparently 2 years already. Hopefully I don't need anything else and or haven't lost anything. Also that I can put it back together. I have the factory manual when needed, so it should be fine.
Hey, #Nerdlings does anyone know if Hasslefree Minis has wrapped up and closed its doors? I don't Bacefook, and I know that they were last known to communicate that way, and I know Kev went to work at ForgePlanet. I see the website seems to be down. Ideas?
Did some color blocking which I usually don't do. I usually pick a color and do everything from base, right through to final highlight before moving on to the next. Made a couple of smears to cover but, meh, that's easy.
Have you ever sat back to look at a mini or a model or anything, really, that you've made with your own hands and skills and thought to yourself: "Darn that's awesome. That looks so good. I made that. Damn." I have been feeling this lately. It's pretty cool.

The beginnings of the enameled white metal that is a team color for The March of the Razing Sun. I think when I get to the loin cloth, I'll need to do a bit of freehand.

Scabby, warty details have been picked out 😨 as well as the two eight points brands, although I didn't show them here. Started work on toe and finger nails and teeth. No, she isn't getting pink nails, she has a crest of hair and a beard for that, just like all models with hair in this army.
What kind of music would a band called The Fig and Foxglove play? I hope it's got a hurdy gurdy prominent.
Or would it be a bar or some kind of eclectic store?
Reeta the Beata is wrinkly skinned like an 🐘! I think I might actually be done with the skin already. I did the last four layers just as lines to simulate folds in the skin with only two different mixes of paint doing two layers per. The final one was some crosshatch at high spots. Warts are next.
Is anyone here old enough to remember when Peter Pumpkinhead told the Vatican what gold's for? But he made too many enemies, of the people who would keep us on our knees.
IYKYK.
No, and neither are or were the people who would buy this magazine. That was proven by the fact that 4 years ago, they melted down after 6 weeks of isolation because of a virus and began protesting against safety because they were so fragile. GFY. 🤣
Got a couple of layers in on Reeta's skin tone. It might be noticeable that I don't seem to work with high contrasts. 🤣 My style is my style 🤷. There is a long way to go yet with her skin tone. The next step though is increased contrast with highlights I think.
Does anyone have one of those Games Workshop painting/priming handles that look like some kind of paddle? Can you share some detail photos? I can't seem to find anything? Am I completely incompetent? Maybe. Hungry? Absolutely.
If anyone who sees this buys AK hobby products, you now must boycott them. They've gone full fascist in support of Russia's genocide in Ukraine. They were sketchy as fuck before, but now they're ass out fash. From @electriceve.bsky.social Instagram. Boycott AK Interactive fascists.
Despite the fact that the person depicted in this gif is problematic, the quote posted picture made me tear up with joy at seeing two Enlowagons smashed together. If it's fake, it's ethical use of artificial image generation.
