interesting

the feet have pegs on their feet to insert into holes in the bases... but i could also shave those off and totally rebase them

fuck this gorilla super glue is really thick

too thick

TOO THICC

i need to think this through a little more lol

also will priming them before assembly fuck up my tolerances for assembly

I QUICK GOOGLE SHOWS NO RELEVANT RESULTS

KINDA WANNA KNOW NOW LOL

cait's left arm is such a bastard

the little nubbin to fit in the forearm is like a little nothing

lol nick's arm snapped off, prolly sometime during transit

straight snapped off the sprue

strong has a rando nubbin on his right foot and i dunno if that's actually supposed to do something lol

watch me snip it and realize what it's for 2 seconds after

the left arm of this missile launcher synth makes no sense

where the hell does this nubbin go lol

airbrushes don't really speak to me

i dunno why

painter cursing as she has to strip a mini face and start again because she's entering a contest

me, having painted like a handful of minis, badly: "i feel ur pain"

me: "fucking enclave. me and all my homies, all hate the enclave"

also me: "fuck enclave power armor looks good tho"

my cobalt keep display cases supposed to arrive today

babysitting the front door worth it? hope so xD

1) i wanna measure internal dimensions and stuff so i can plan out dioramas,

2) i want display cases to keep dust off my painted minis!, and

3) i can then move them to my shelf so my worktable has space for my unpainted/unassembled minis >.>

also like, i just wanna say the perfectly straight/grid repeating pattern for stone work or bricks wouldn't look real anyway

because that's not how you lay stone

but still xD

it's really wild how the photos they take of the golden demon winners are overexposed shit

like just wall to wall shit

you can't even take the effort to make your goddamn contest winners look good, and maybe from more than one angle?

like this is embarrassing man

the official photo taken versus images from instagram

they're all like this. one shot, many taken from some dubious fucking angles, overexposed

and then people looking at them complain like why did X beat out Y (total other conversation lololol) but it's like YOU SHOWED THEM LIKE CRAP IS PART OF THE REASON

i like cmo games because they're relatively near me and ship usps and have good prices, but their stocks leaves a little to be desired

(said the fallout centric player)

The cobalt keep army display cases are pretty nice. Maybe a touch overpriced even when buying four at once

Top has refraction rainbow circles but side views are good

Metal base altho none of my minis are magnetized xD

Better shot of the top

You see this at a shallow angle, not straight down

the locking tabs are a bit... well, i wouldn't drop this xD

but given that it's a display case and not a carry case i can't ding them for that
