Pain of Lego

There are problems with simple hobbies.

OOOO! I found a translucent red Rick Dias from the gundam artifact surprise box. I am gonna do something fun with this bad boy!

Finally took pics of my two workhorses of my custom army, The Basilisk tank.

I tried to speed paint this model, 6 hours, thinking I got him done, only to realize his backpack is STILL ON THE SPRUE!

Got my hands on the cargo hauler 8, made it a service vehicle, like the ones you see on docks and storage facilities.

How bad is it when your follower count is sustained by pornbots after the great exodus, here on tumblr?

My acolyte hybrid with rock saw. Kills the strongest of foes, if he doesn't die to range combat.

Got myself a backdrop to show off minis. The set came from Dungeons and Lasers: Engine Room

Suddenly Tumblr won't let me post pics!?

I don't know if you've heard but here in Australia it's flooding like mad right now and ontop of that flood water is a layer of terrified spiders. That's pretty much a cursed fact on its own, but if have anything extra cursed you'd like to add regarding this behaviour then I'd love to hear it, cos I don't known how to leave well enough alone.

most spiders can, to some extent, avoid drowning from unexpected dunks by abusing surface tension to skate around on top of the water!

however this is generally a temporary solution- if the spider gets too waterlogged it will break through the surface and sink, whereupon it will drown for reals and/or get eaten by a carp. so a skating spider’s first and foremost priority is to get the hell OFF the water and back to land- which means they’ll climb onto virtually any surface available, including you if you’re wandering around in the floodwaters for some reason. maybe you lost your dog, I dunno. you're covered in spiders now, congrats! 

so don’t panic too hard if you end up completely covered in terrified spiders, they just really really don’t want to get eaten by those carp.

Tried to see what Post+ was, but my account is in dark mode, so suddenly going to light mode.... kinda feels like.....

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

[three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat]

Listen, this is serious.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

[three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat]

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid

Abberants are the strangest models I ever painted, but they preform on the tabletop
