I'm just a normal guy that likes building mostly 1/35 scale armour models.

They are David Parker's (of AFV Modeller magazine) handiwork. He does a lot of scratch-printing these days, especially of 1/16 stuff.

Our "Neutrality" is a joke and always has been. It started as an excuse for civil servants to not spend on defence, and it grew legs from there.

Mig is a bit of a character, to say the least.

In fairness to AK Interactive, they are going out to bat for Big Child Creatives.

Good work so far! I like using Mr.Mahogany Surfacer as well, I think it gives the model a bit of warmth.

It's a bank holiday weekend here, so I got a bit of time at the bench. I finally got around to detail painting on the Type 60 APC. I just feel really odd about painting the exhaust silver, but it's there on pretty much every reference photo.

I don't really like eye dropper bottles. I find that paint tends to dry in the nozzle and block it, spilling paint everywhere if you squeeze the bottle. The nozzle also splits sometimes, but that hasn't happened to me yet.

Is the translate feature broken for anyone else, or is it just me?

It opens up Google Translate but doesn't paste in the text automatically anymore.

I have actually almost come around to believing in machine spirits. Too many weird things have happened with IT around for it not to be a thing.

Wasn't this last year's April Fools joke from Magic Factory?

Can we let him have a bit of fun before he has to return to his own time? It is not like he going to be bringing anything back with him.

Hideki Kamiya, the creator of Devil May Cry/Bayonetta and other games is just absolutely murdering people whining about Assassin's Creed on Twitter right now, it's incredible.

Just like that Hillary Clinton robot in Disney World with the Donald Trump skin on it.

These "men" are so insecure about their own masculinity that they have to project this weird stance that other men are not masculine enough, despite them falling short of their rules.

Ah yes, back when he was just the goofy car and rocket guy and no-one really cared about his opinions.

Someone at Twitter HQ tripped over the power cable from the wall, leading to the single server that's sat in the middle of the room.

I completed the main part of the camouflage scheme on the Type 60 build. I painted over the brown patches with a lighter brown, Tamiya's JGSDF brown. I have to fix some over-spray, and then crack on with detail painting.

building a model kit and hearing the bad snap instead of the good snap

I had a sudden burst of motivation yesterday and started painting my Type 60 build. The base green was painted with Tamiya flat green mottled over the brown primer, then I sprayed over this with Tamiya JGSDF dark green.

I started to spray the brown camo, using Tamiya NATO brown.

I thought it was a great game with a slightly underwhelming ending.

The only thing I remember disliking about it at the time, was the reenforcement system that almost required playing the online multiplayer mode.

I don't think it is, there are a lot of image defects in that photo are typical of AI generated image.

Finally, a vehicle with a worse "offroad" performance than the LTAV.

Same energy.

Both equally comically embarrassingly stupid.
