Cardboard dividers shown in center frame. Gunpla parts on the left, and standing up in the background are sprues held upright.

The larger MK-4 dividers are EXACTLY the kind of step up I needed to keep this project alive. Much better stability. Still need to refine the tabs but it's miles ahead of the mk3. I feel like Tony Stark πŸ˜…

Yeah, cardboard until the design is solid. Then acrylic or wood for structure and options

Thanks! I want to make it a bit deeper and increase the angle on it so I can add swappable lettering in somewhere too!

I think this was some kind of bootleg astray, but it was an ok built. Should be good for practice painting! Behind it is another random bootleg, and the v3 sprue holder. Needs a bit more work but is getting better!

Some kits I get just for parts for future kitbashing, but I always like to build em first.

Work's been crazy busy but I found a bit of downtime and designed my first laser cut item! Needs a few improvements but I did it! Going to improve some bits but soon I'll have a custom gundam sprue holder!

This is why I love playing a variant of the FATE rpg (open-source and free rules online, they're great go play them). Engaging your players more means that you dont wait 10 minutes just to roll a miss. You're always engaged.

Fellow #kitbash and #scratchbuild peeps that need to do a billion rivets. After trying many tools, I think I found the holy grail.

even better! I always have issues with little overhangs like leaves and such on models that are just designed to look good not also designed to print well, so kudos!!!

Perfect, it's so nice to see something DESIGNED to be 3d printed out the gate.

Are the centers of these hollow? I could see that reducing the resin quite a bit.

A simple drawing of a grey demon with red horns.  On it's chest it has a name tag that says "Hello my name is Scope".  In front of it it's holding a long scroll-like list that says "features" at the top.  Its eyes are white and look somewhat bored.

This is the scope creep. He's got some great ideas for your project, you should totally add more things you're not bogged down already it's cool trust him. Just animate your whole next video you've got this.

My next video is going to be a complete upgrade in every way. It will also be the introduction of the as-of-yet unnamed OC "FaeGuy" to help explain and introduce non-recorded elements. I'm proud of my work so far.

I dont bring the dragonstaff out too often any more, but I've still got a few moves!

for a third party block kit this is rather fantastically well done.

For my next video, I'm going to focus almost entirely on the story, providing instruction through tags at the top of the screen. This has tripled the workload of editing, but I like it.

I'mma be honest, I missed my #HobbyStreak yesterday. It can be incredibly difficult for me to do something every day, and yesterday I straight up didnt do anything hobby related. I worked on the house and other projects. :D

#HobbyStreak 27: No Photo. Because it's all learning settings and menus in the camera, and the apps for the phone, and tablet, setting up wires and running cable.

#HobbyStreak 24: hit the motherload at the clearance aisle. 15 dollar kits. Ripe for #kitbashing duplicate parts. I'm so happy.

#HobbyStreak 23: Today's hobby activity was a bit more ephemeral: I spent a lot of time thinking while aiding a friend's sick kitten, but I have my idea for the Peculiar Robot Contest! (Kitten came back from the vet and will survive)
