3D printing woes
I’m fed-up with google Sketchup. It took me hours to get this far: After a lot of wasted time and effort struggling with its awful interface I got something tending…

Asuka figure repaint
I've complained in the past about "crappy Chinese knockoff PVC figures", but I feel I need to set the record straight; non-knockoff straight-from-Japan figures can also be crappy (and probably…
