I kinda do want to keep it, but in the end it really doesn’t matter. One thing I noticed was that the Psycho Frame I painted in Display base is almost the same overall shade as the clear parts.
Somewhat odd question: Can anyone think of a paint that cures like nail polish (complete with acrylic shell), but ISN’T nail polish? I’m experimenting with something and helpful answers may actually yield some pretty nifty results.
Hmm, the only thing that comes to mind is Tamiya Acrylic Gloss Clear, the bottle kind. I’ve tried it before as an impromptu brushable clear coat and it’s kinda like what you’re looking for.
I received an email from MCGundam as I was leaving work yesterday. She was not aware of the issues with the forum, but said that she will get the tech into the process of fixing the issue as soon as she can. And to hopefully fix it so that it doesn’t happen again. So I guess for now, the waiting game continues.
That’s good, we got a response pretty quickly. I echo Zeta-G’s frustration with this, especially since it’s looking like the same exact issue that we were told wouldn’t happen anytime soon again.
Yeah this only happened untill the hacker, and after that it’s been a s*** storm, I don’t see how one hacker, screwed it up for months to come, either A. The IT Department needs an overhaul, or B. Someone is still f***ing with us and we just don’t see it.
I wonder what the issue is this time. To be fair, though, they never announced that things were completely 100% back to normal and functional again after the last downtime.
Well that’s great, started up the RP again yesterday after a few days pause…and Database errors…yay.
At this rate I might just start a free forum for the RP’s to avoid data loss and any major drops, I understand s*** happens but this is geting ridiculous at this point.
Maybe it’s all a secret plot between the admins and the HLJ folk to keep us bouncing back and forth between their sites, boosting traffic on both ends.
I only wanted to see everybody’s updates to what they were working on x_X. Also gripe about not be able ever find a decent priced Hguc Nu or Hi Nu XD in stock.
I couldn’t even login this morning due to the errors. I’ve already sent MCGundam an email about this. Which, I haven’t talked to her in weeks. So I’m afraid that I don’t have any light to shed on the situation guys.
Just wanted you all to know. A few minutes ago, I received an email from MCGundam. GS&M has hired someone to go in and fix the forum. They are going to overhaul everything to make it more stable so that all these issues will hopefully be a thing of the past. So just wait it out a bit longer and we’ll finally be back home.
Pretty much fellas, why I was let go was a blank to me cause of the shock of the news. all I know is is what my supervisor said. I will not tell you what she said to me, cause that in of itself was vague to me. All I know is that im out of a job and im on the hunt to get back in the saddle. Pisses me off that after 6 months of busting my ass,…[Read more]
It sucks to hear that happened to you. Retailers tend to like making trumped up charges so they churn through employees and keep their costs down and maximize their own profits. Try not to take it personally. Institutional greed is likely at fault; it’s the way they operate nowadays. Best of luck in finding a new job.
Thanks for the thoughts Z. And yeah im not letting this knock me down. im getting back up and im going to get in gear and start job hunting…as soon as this storm passes over 😀
Sorry for me blowing off steam like that fellas, but I had to get it out. thanks for the condolences 😀 but fear not I should be able to get back into the game real soon lol
Actually, I may have something to keep me busy other than model kits (finished most of em…still waiting for that part to come in for Loftwing…backordered)…
Thanks all guys. Me, im just gonna throw out some lines to see what bites, keep in touch with you guys, hope the forums come back up and hang out on SWRP for a while lol
Also… Are you doing something different when you upload pictures? Every time you do, I see two separate threads for the same pic, and if it’s a thread where you upload multiple pics, it creates a thread for each picture o.O?
And Chapel I have no idea why it does that. I’ve seen it do that before, but I don’t know why. I just click attach media, type up my post. Then click post update.
As promised, here is the head on mine. The eyes could have used more work, but it looks better from a bit farther way. Mind the blemishes on the finish too. Dust particles are nearly impossible to avoid in my room.
It does kinda remind me of Ninja Turtles. I’m liking the color scheme more and more. The eyes are pretty intriguing and different. I’ve seen something like that before, I just cannot think of where.
Haha, so I’m not the only one who thinks of Ninja Turtles. I don’t know if it’s due to the sharp points on the head, but the eyes remind me of a bug’s.
I had to look up what a Crysis 3 hunter looked like and I agree, it does look like them, haha. Hopefully it all looks good when put together with the rest of the kit.
Nope definitely not the only one, it very we’ll reminds me of them too. Really loving the extra detail on the horn and visor two,I’m assuming you had to mask the visor part off?
Thanks, man. And nope, I painted the visor freehand with a size 0 round brush, then touched up the edges where the green touches. I find that applying the touch-up paint in quick dabs instead of small strokes is way easier.
I’m amazed as well! Quick dabs should work really well for touch-ups, even if you use lacquer paints. This is judging by how thin such paint tends to dry. Tamiya acrylics are the same deal.
I happen to remember that song, along with the music videos and the in-depth look at the animatronics used for the Turtle suits. Looked like a cyborg control suit inside, haha.
I’m only a few colors away from a full-on Ninja Turtle Kampfer and I didn’t realize it during the color planning phase. Already got red and purple represented…
I like the idea of making the psycho frame, more phsycho:) sounds good to me.
Do you still want to retain the clear look or no?
I kinda do want to keep it, but in the end it really doesn’t matter. One thing I noticed was that the Psycho Frame I painted in Display base is almost the same overall shade as the clear parts.
In that case, I say go for what you did for the display base, so it matches.
I love the way your display base looks. That’s my pick. I love the way the gold looks underneath the orange.
It’s interesting that you got two. You certainly have an idea here.
Oh I have plans for it. The best part about having 2, other than my plans. Is having spare parts to use or text on.
Never thought about painting the inside to accent the inner frame, sounds good.
I dig the Norn, especially beacuse of the Armed Armor XC on its back. It’s one wicked cool looking equipment. I’m looking forward on this project man!
