I was gonna strip this, but I found a hack that saves paint jobs I dislike: The glossiest fucking top coat. Pictures are meh, but this is shinier than mothman's polished ass. I used montana gold's gloss varnish and applied it heavily. Glossy nids = best nids #tyranids #nerdlings #warhammer40k

None of my libraries have hoopla access or Horus Heresy audiobooks. Anyone have an audiobook provider that's not audible or spotify?

Most hobby businesses are okay as long as they don't, ya know, use genocide as promotional material for art books (Ak interactive) or owe people massive amounts of money Hobby confession #650-#653 #anonhobbyconfessions

I wish there’s a comprehensive list of bad stores/ influencers / scammers out there. New to the hobby and when I told people where I got things from / what tools I use / who I watch the comments I got are like “Oh that content creator is a scammer” or “that company got into scandal” and all that and it made me feel ignorant af. Maybe someone in here can englighten me in the comments. Or make a list so other newbies don’t get roped into buying stuff from unethical people or businesses…

I’ve been running a side forum for non Gunpla stuff and I’m finding the community of that niche more helpful and non influencer-driven. It’s still a very very niche group so maybe it’s a long way from capitalism taking over. It makes me wonder if my recent Gunpla burnout is community-driven and not so much me falling out of love with the process of making Gunpla / scale modelling. It also makes me miss the old days of people exchanging genuine ideas from forums.

Pages that almost exclusively share other artists work, while advertising their own affiliate marketing link or commission service, gives me the serious ick. I don’t care if you credit the artist at all, frankly, when all of the calls to action point to you.

Just wanna say how cringe and capitalistic the instagram hobby scene has become. Either aesthetic unboxings or pushing sponsored products, or just doing aesthetic reels of finished products. Miss the old scene where people show genuine WIP and discussions, and not just something that looks nice for engagement and followers :(

Hobby confession #646, #647, #648, #649 Sorry for the batch, I've been sick this week :( #anonhobbyconfessions

Hobby stores that rule communities should be shunned. Running pages in the guise of “community” but banning anyone who doesn’t buy exclusively from them is messed up. Asking the community to run events for them for free while they make profit is even worse.

As I said in a comment on another page, AI IS THEFT. People are still trying to justify using AI eg using it as a "tool" etc. AI *HAD* its chance to be ethical and used for good things but it is NOT being used as such, which is why it is NOT GOOD. People need to get that shit through their heads. AI requires running actual artists’ work through its programming in order to even generate its “art”. This is THEFT and no I will not be debating no fucking body.

Nothing is more icky than people who shovel money out to IG for exposure and likes. Its like their wallet gets them farther than their actual skills and its really sad. Too many people lack the ability to simply enjoy the hobby and mostly enjoy the attention.

I don't care how many someone has. It just makes me wonder what's going to happen if there's an emergency? Like, I feel nervous having ten kits in the backlog. I met someone at a flea market who was struggling to sell 200+ models their dad had. Hobby confession #644 #anonhobbyconfessions

the 1969 Comic Art Convention Progress Report I think 3.50 in 1969 is what 30 bucks now? That's how much I paid for the last con I went to.

MEMBERSHIP

REGULAR MEMBERSHIP is $3.50, available in advance by mail, or at the door.

SPECIAL MEMBERSHIP is available FREE to members who stay at the hotel during the Convention. If you plan to stay at the Statler-Hilton, fill in the attached coupon and check the Special Membership box. When you receive the Hotel Reservation Card, return it to the Convention, not to the hotel—the Convention will see that your reservations are made. If you register at the hotel at Convention time without advance reservations, youare still eligible for a Special Membership.

HOTEL

Special room rates for members of the Comic Art Convention are $15.00 per day for a single, $21.00 a day for a double— none higher. These special rates are below the regular Statler-Hilton rates and will apply to your full stay whether it extends before or after the Convention, The fully air-conditioned Statler-Hilton Hotel is known as ‘the most complete hotel’ in New York City. It has over 2,000 room
