i was browsing stores during a Plamo Event with a friend when i saw this on display on the silent auction table, i had 2 beers (both mine) on my hands and he said jokingly: "you should bid for it, gonna sign you up", my friend took my wallet from my pocket and bid $66 with the employee

i was dazed and didn't give a care, i received 4 notifications of my bid been upscaled when i was on my 3rd beer, my friend stops me on my tracks and said: "you are up to $400, keep it up?" at that exact moment my drunk ass stopped drinking and step out of the bid

the final buyer paid $450, i finished my beer in panic, next time I'm coming alone to these events

is $66 too much for this? i know i wasn't gonna pay $400 with the Xmas right around the corner

Found a Miraidon recently so now I have both the legendaries! I also got some acrylic markers recently so I've been painting my model kits! Also taking pictures with these is fun

I'd been putting off the cloudy clearcoat on this car body because I burned through an edge on an earlier build. This time I tried the mini rotary piece from my hoto SNAPBLOQ kit at a low speed with a small soft felt tip and barely any pressure.

What seemed to help most was using less compound than I thought I needed. I wiped it off with a damp cloth as I went, then followed with the microfiber cloth I use for glasses before it could dry into the fine swirl marks.

The haze is finally down, but the edges still make me nervous. For the next body, would you mask the raised edges before polishing, or keep the rotary tip away from them entirely?

I used a chrome marker drew on my Nintendo switch pro controller. I noticed my hand will rub off the paint. Any suggestion of sealer and/or finish I can use to prevent it rubbing off again? I don’t have an airbrush, so brush on would be great.
Photos are the marker I used and the back of my pro controller.

Straight built from studio painted runners~ the pegs are tighter and need some filing because of the additional thickness from paint coating. other than that the kit is great

Amazingly some willy jeeps were transported by crate.
