gonna complete the trifecta with aliexpress?

You shouldn't sell your community to these companies. No posts about dubious companies that clearly want to destroy the market and do not respect copyrights

@@JR-uu1xl I am not sure if it is the same now, but last century some of the "Knock Offs" were made by the same companies contracted to make the authentic stuff, they would just change the label/print to the knockoff label and do another run. So if you get lucky you might be getting the same item as the brand item without the brand name markup.

Iv heard the same

The products are dirt cheap because they use Uyghur Muslim slave labour.

And what's gonna happen when someone buys that personal information?

Temu and Wish exist to force small businesses to close. Temu might have higher quality (usually) than Wish, but they lose money on every sale because the goal isn't to make a profit, it's to ensure that people buy from Temu instead of from smaller or local businesses. It's the same thing that Amazon did but with more 'questionably ethical' labour.

Yes, Temu and TikTok should just be banned.

Thanks

Thanks, I got an "Avanti" kit at harbor freight whose brush kit looks identical to this one

Just a comment on that, Iwata didn't suit me much although I knew it was quality.. But by god, Harder & Steenbeck is really working out for me. I really love it.

Yeah, I've never seen one of their video before and pretty much lost any confidence in them the moment they labeled the airbrush a 10/10 scam. For one, it's what, $20? Did it work? Looks like it did to me. I understand english may not be their first language and maybe thats the issue but who knows? I'd think labeling something like an airbrush a 100% scam would at least mean it doesn't work at all. Nope, works fine. And in case my first point was missed, you get what you pay for. A scam is when someone is promoting things that aren't true for usually for some kind of profit. And in that regard, NOTHING was a scam. I'm assuming you can actually see pics of these things on the site, mainly because it's 2023 and if you ordering shit sight unseen nowadays and feel "scammed" you're a moron. The rest of the vid is them just trashing things and giving a random star count, like they're shopping at the five star warhammer painting outlet. I'm trying to watch a few more vids before passing judgement, but not exactly off to a great start. (btw thanks for random tips, just starting painting myself and really hoping it becomes a hardcore hobby for me)

For fine grit or any sanding with wet sand paper, specially when working with metals, i would highly suggest using little tab of oil like wd-40 on the paper before you start. Oil wet sanding will give finer result and allows to use paper far longer before it gums up and usually little more oil will get it going again. I have small peaces of paper that has been served for several projects due this. While i would not go to sand wood and most plastics with the same paper afterwards, if you work with metal its god sent how long you can use same peace. You can also use double sided carpet tape to glue the paper into peace of plastic or wood put the needle or what ever round object protected by tape into cordless drill and if centered in chuck properly hold the wood/sand paper with front fingers and hold it against the metal with thumb while sliding it along the part and up and down the paper for even finish. Finally use polishing compound and rags to smooth and clean everything. Just my two cents on fixing things like that in cheap tools. Also as side note, you can make your own "drill bit" from straight piano wire peace, just diamond file sharp end and the flatten two sides. It needs to be removed often the remove chips but beats buying micro drillbit set when piano wires come in 0.05mm increments. Piano restorer/builder/tuners propabably have loads of them around to get the material for free or really cheap. Also can be used to make custom springs.

Which is a scam because you are paying 20$ for 1-2$ worth of resin since they are stealing the intelectual property of the artist.

@@lordkubikum the 20$ is absolutely worth the labor, to their credit. Dealing with support removal and cleanup takes time

Yeah if you think the cost is just about 1-2$ worth of resin, you have never printed at any kind of scale. There is an expected lifetime of the very expensive curing screens, the consumed electricity, IPA, Nitrile gloves, FEP replacement screens, time spent overseeing, removing and sanding supports and then quality control. It's the same as saying "driving a car is cheap because a liter of gasoline only costs x amount". It ignores like 50 other associated costs and maintenance.@@lordkubikum

@@ThewickedVik As an old man can one of you young punks tell me when schools started teaching people to put the $ after the number instead of in front of it? I mean I was taught in school to write $20, or if taking about cents 50c. Oh, and get off my lawn you darn whippersnappers!

$20 for that is actually quite fair, looking at the labor that goes into it. Still theft of LOTP's property though@@lordkubikum

And as a D&D player i can say that if i order a Tarrasque and it came in that size i'd feel realy scammed, you shouldn't be able to carry one in a single hand

@@Cthucal You can also buy the model for $5 less and see if a friend could print it out for said $5.

Printing a model that size is like 20¢ max aswell

The size information is right there in the items page, you'd be scamming yourself honestly.@@Cthucal

They think as much as American companies do (not alot unless its from the US of course)

yep Temu and Wish and just in general site are terrible whit correcting listing. like they list a tree as fit for warhammer 40K because the person putting them up (the whole website system) can´t scale, so we see stuff like this tree works perfect in warhammer 64:1 scale exept the tree was actually for 100:1 scale it can be used in 64:1 but then it becomes a bush.

That design of sprue clipper is actually not supposed to be aligned. There is nothing stopping the cutting action until the two blades hit so it's designed not to meet sharp edge to sharp edge. So it cuts easy, but not clean on larger objects. Old school plastic modellers will be familiar with this kind of tool. God Hand and the like made it obsolete. I still use my 30 year old Testors nipper with this design, though.

Truly a mark of the orient

Nice

True, i would not be surprised if they found Carmine, Arsenic, Lead, and Cadmium to if they tested the stuff.

Do you know that Emil used to be an actual proffesional photographer? Or was this some kind of joke that I missed? :)

@@tommyakesson8858 Eh, I've been a pro photog as well. Still like lightboxes. Not with a white background though, because it will indeed blow out everything. A box with a black background, reflective surfaces on the sides and especially the front work fine. :)

@@tommyakesson8858 Not sure if he was or not, but there are lots of types of professional photographer. You wouldn't necessarily want a wedding photographer doing product photography or a graduation photographer shooting a wedding. I shot jewelry for years, a light box was a must. Using a single light source is rarely good though. If he had combined the light box with it's light on, the desk lamp, and a grey or white background sheet out of the kit it likely would have beaten both the pictures he showed. That definitely isn't the light box I'd pick if I were buying one though.

I can see an adventure Arc where the players rescue a Baby Tarrasque and let it go live its best Tarrasque life somewhere. Then years later tales start to get back to them of a creature that is destroying villages and towns in a land they visited when they set off on their adventuring life

Thanks for this info.

even better!

Thanks for the heads up:)

They'll just pay off the fines just like how Amazon, Google, Samsung, Facebook, Apple, etc. etc. etc. do.

If it's undergoing investigation, and not actually fined, I'd say it's fair game. Innocent until proven guilty and all that jazz. Nowadays anything from China is considered "suspicious" due to the new cold war going on. Not saying it's not true, maybe they really are bad, but until it's proven I wouldn't think too hard on it.

Temu is safe like google, facebook, instagram, etc...

"and you can do all that with this weeks sponsor, nord vpn"

It’s a clay tool for sculptors called a ball stylus

Love ur vids

you the man kirioth.🙂

With those batteries you're probably lucky if it gets warm enough to melt the foam.

Ooooh. Could be like any kind of store. Toy store. Arts and crafts (but not mini related) Hardware store. Bunch of options here

😂

Have you tried superglue etc?

@@mandowarrior123 yes, unfortunately silicon doesn't cooperate with superglue 😄

IF we've managed that, i feel like all goals are accomplished :D thanks for the lovely comment!

Yeah, I used the same one for a while. It's great if you only planning using it a little bit or to see if airbrushing is right for you. I still use it periodically.

Temu is run by the Chinese government with an attempt to western businesses out of business. Force even more of the supply chain into china.

Problem with almost all Temu models is, they’re stolen .STLs. They don’t pay for resale fees because they are…well, scammers. Sure, the print quality might be good, but they’re still very amoral

Just get a printer of your own, or find a shop that will do prints for you if you want 3D printed minis.

Our pleasure!

Same I just noticed it a lot too. Felt like they're trying to swear, and for no reason at all. I don't get it.

I’m an action figure collector and customize them. So I use the same paints and techniques, but I’m with you. I could easily get into this.

if your starting don't buy expensive paint brush just buy cheap one that passes the minimum (pro painter have a high ceiling but as a starter that ceiling is nothing you will need to think about in a long time as you will probably first ruin the paintbrush long before and your skill level will be irrelevant).

Honestly, I once bought a really cheap synthetic set from Amazon that was ~6 brushes for 7£ and one of them turned out to be better than my Citadel Layer brush whilst the rest were trash, and the brushes were definitely not that high quality, so maybe you just get good luck for brushes sometimes?

If you're looking for a similar filer, I think these shapes with four different grade is common for nail buffers.

So still a scam?

we actually asked lord of the print, they said there's no way for them to control if they've got the license from them. And even if its a scam its not worth chasing down the people selling prints.

I actually did, it arrived yesterday xD Thankfully it's easy to return for ref- oop, or not. Looks like they're gonna refund me and let me keep it, woop!

my basic Ultra 24 arriver two days ago and it is fabulous

yaaasss

Mollog from Mollogs Mob (the game is warhammer underworlds)

Came here to say that. Jula also sell it (for 400kr). I'v had mine for years. Only use it for basecoating thou
