     I did see a resin-pour lamp with a gunpla set in it, and that's something I kinda wanna do at one point.

     Maybe for a duplicate cheap set.

     @DarkestKale I have not participated in any open source discourse today, even though it concerns one of my specialisms, and I am very proud of myself.

     Kale (before doing a winged #gunpla): the winged ones look cool, I should get one
     Kale (having done a minorly winged gunpla model): fuck this wings bullshit

     Kale: *muttering about overarticulated wings*
     Gypsy: they can't be that bad
     Kale: *shows Gypsy how the ones he just built have about 38 points of articulation per side*
     Gypsy: ok, that's ridiculous
     Kale: that's a minor articulated wing set
     Kale: *shows Gypsy one of the bigger winged sets*
     Gypsy: ok... no.

     Starting to think that the more 'expert' #gunpla models are mostly just a mess of articulation that makes them increasingly flimsy and less useful other than as 'put it in a glass cube and never touch it, or it'll fall apart'.

     Some of you may have heard me grumble that true pain is the frustration of having to watch someone do something badly when you do it very well.

     Tonight, I had to watch 3 people do ordering for a shop that had maybe 60 product lines and a grand total of perhaps 500 items in total.

     It was... oof.

     There are many options for this.

     Many solutions.

     All of them better than watching three people count the same six items and debate whether they had the right count.

     Scooped up a pair of #30MinuteMissions kits at a hobby store on my way home.

     But now it's 9:30pm, and I'm trying to decide if I'm too tired to finish off that pink gundam kit I got mostly done the other night.

     Did the backpack/wings for the pimk gunpla and... Two fucking hours for it.

     'This is overarticulated, mate', is a legitimate thing I have muttered tonight.

     Notes:
     * I scaled up the tank holder by 7% because it was a smidge loose on both the mounting peg and the wedges that hold the tanks when I printed them at 1:1 yesterday - this time they ended up much better
     * The gun barrel is a bit tragic as it had heavy supports (I used heavy on everything today) and they were hard to pull off and the barrel bent a smidge
     * The other side of the gun body is... Awful, as that was the supported side.

     The gun probably needs to be done as a vertical print, but that dictates the print time and would take it from 2hrs to some shit like 6-8, and I want to learn more firsf before committing to long prints.

     Also had to check the scale, etc.

     So schema would be: quick, rough flat print to check scale, then long vertical print for quality.

     Time consuming but I suspect much better.

     Spinning up the printer again for some rando bullshit to learn more.

     @HauntedOwlbear I'm slowly working towards the 'don't talk to the people who are arguing about shit, just talk to people who are doing shit' side of life.

     I'm tired, Owlz, I'm just plain tired of always grumping at people.

     @DarkestKale It's exhausting, you're right. More weird hobbyists, fewer people trying to monetise things that objectively never should have been monetised.
