Time to apply a first layer (=primer). Don’t want to glue the canopy yet. Somewhat in doubt what’s the best way to mask the interior. Guess i have to use this silicon masking putty although it’s not my favourite material to work with 🤔

【完成】 ご無沙汰しております🫡 タミヤ 1/35 M24チャーフィー完成です。 初めてのAFVでしたが、困惑しながらも終始楽しく作業出来ました。 初期イメージをうまく形に出来たと思います。 ラッカー筆塗り、フィギュアのみアクリルガッシュを使用しました。 #プラモデル

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

An aircraft passenger oxygen mask: a drop down passenger mask with air bag and yellow plastic mouth and nose cover, oxygen tube has been cut; Demonstration model used by flight attendant crew for passenger instruction. Has text on the side indicating that it's non-functional.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

去年、ラウンド2が1960フォードf-100を新金型で作ってた意味よ。昔SMPがクーポン請求という形で販売してたものとほぼ同等と思しきディスプレイ/トレーラーが付いてるあたり、今回のアメリカンカープラモ・クロニクルでだいぶ得心がいったというか。

For quite some time I was looking for a solution to stably mount tanks and dioramas for painting. Engraving handles didn't work - too short, and had only one lock. Found this inverted panoramic head from Ulanzi, good stuff, I have spherical and a pan, quick change plates and the handle is stable.

Love the elegant way the dolly's parts are integrated into the sprue. Cleaning them up properly will be a chore though... so many branches to prune 🌲 By the way, this is the nicest manual I have ever seen: glossy paper, colours, artwork - I can't go back to flimsy leaflets after this

How low can you go? Twenty years ago (18/07/06) an RAAF RF-111C performed an emergency wheels up landing at RAAF Amberley. No injuries, though the aircraft was a write-off. Images via Air Force Association - SA Division FB account.
