Ok, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just having a bit of fun. I might actually another one since I learned about these things.

why do all the youtube videos on subject have to have endless prater about this and that instead of getting to the point.

It's like a mechanic teacher.
Today we're going to learn about starter replacement.
But before we do...

Calling it done. I can't do much more and what i have done, i've gotten glue and paint where it shouldn't be. The Micro Sol had a weird reaction with the hood decal so it looks stained, won't rub out. The PE is off center, to late to fix due to CA glue.

#round2corp did it again. Almost done with the Challenger and they didn't put the red tail lights in the kit. Technically, I could paint them, but there's 2 big holes they snap into. Not wasting time to try and fill and sand.

One step closer to being done. I knew this would be difficult, but dayum! All wires and hoses are actual wires and rubber hose. Added a custom ignition coil as well.

Need to start wet sanding and getting the body ready for clear. Decided to do a quick fit just to get an idea. Decals would fully cover the woodgrain dash, so there's no gauges.

First few coats of paint on the Challenger. I'll add a few more before I'm done, then let it dry before sanding and polishing.

Colors have been laid. Now to let it dry.

Had some issues with the mr hobby aqueous Gundam paint I bought. Thinned with with Mr Coloring leveling thinner 400. But cleaning it from the air brush was a nightmare. Whats the best item to clean this paint from an airbrush?

Parts are primed. what comes next is either going to be a disaster or semi decent kit!
it's a flip of the coin, a role of the dice.

When you're absolutely humdrum & monotonously bored, you step outside your wheelhouse. I've got a good stash, but I really don't want to build another car or tank right now. So what do I go to? This is going to get interesting.

Oddly, the flak gun was done in the same manner & has a very flat tone. Not sure if I should do a slight wash of all the colors again to try to flatten it out or not. Afraid I will lose some of the shadows.

What flat clear do you all use over an oil wash that gives figures a flat look? In the new dio, i did an oil wash over the figures. They are too shiny. I used Tamiya flat clear as well as tries Vallejos Matt Finish.

Once again 90% 🤜🏻🤛🏾 of my Short Stack infosec lists on Mastodon and BlueSky are activism, tech ethics, and human rights posts and I'm very proud of you all. I just really wish more people got the things you do:

- everything is political
- nobody is coming to save us
- action that matters is hard
