Can't decide which connection looks best.

What do you all think?

Coiled or straight? Both will be painted copper.

Hoping that paint will cover a lot of the sins I committed with making the side view mirrors.

Last look before dropping off the Still Runnin' for the build off at the weekend's diecast meet. Hoping it places well.

Testing my set up with an LED ring light donated by my daughter. Not sure if I actually will produce hobby content, but want to try.

C&C most welcome.

I want to thank all of you for indulging my stream-of-hobbying posts and spamming a couple of specific hashtags.

I love having a place to share my stuff and seeing all the great stuff you all do.

Thank you.

I've been singularly obsessed with #Gaslands and post almost exclusively about it. The game is easy to get into, has an engaging setting and is full of cinematic moments of vehicular mayhem.

It's going to get even better with the 3rd Ed.

The ink is still tacky to the touch, so maybe it's still drying? I am worried that spraying clear coat on it will reactivate the ink and cause it to run.

Should I just leave it alone and let it dry for a day or two?

I like how this is coming together. The colors really pop!

Here's the latest from Q Branch.

Masking successful and metallic paint applied. Need to pick out details and recess shading.

Four options for guns, B and C are chunky and better visible at arm's length. A and D are better scale.

Trimmed, glued and applied wash to wrecking ball assembly made of a spine, a pair of radius and ulna bones and a humerus as crossbar.

Once dry I'll attach the sugar skull and add chains from crossbar to spine to skull.

I took this photo to comment that I'm not sure about the lifted rear on the Scramjet. It felt too awkward, too exaggerated and out of synch with my other cars.

But, looking at the photo, I am not as bothered. Maybe it just doesn't look good in-person.

Finally feeling closer to normal today. Going to spend the day on the WarMOG. Goal is to finish assembly and painting the cab.

Aldo want to finalize build plan on the trailer. Needs armor, defenses and crew.

A continuous exercise in patience for me, I gave the Milliput more than 24 hours to cure before I shaped the side mirrors a little bit. The plastic sprue is too big. Next time I'll use wire, more room to shape the Milliput.

Now to give the primer time to fully cure.

D: reverse-level

Did some interior detailing, which will probably never be seen outside of these photos. This is probably why I'm abandoning the manga style paint job, as it will require the windshield to be painted and the detailing so far won't match the aesthetic
