Yeah, that's absolutely the brave approach. I just wimped out and went for ActionFigure++. Wish I had another one to go all-in on, but they're selling for ~$100 at this point and that's a solid nope.

And if, in a Covid-free timeline, you have high-school aged kids who need to do a community service project, their volunteer program is double-plus-good.

I donate used tech to Free Geek. They do good work.

So, this year's Boxing Day mini is Gorzag Gitstompa, who's based on the 1997 Games Day Gorkamorka nob model -- which I had in my bitz box. Painted him up in prep for the new version...

He says CA Cement, but he clearly means plastic cement. CA will just give you an interesting rock in the bottom of your bottle.

Hmmmm, I wonder if my wife would believe it's for making beef jerky? 🤔

Yup, those are mine -- thanks for the kind words. Bases are still a work in progress, but are getting better as I get more familiar with the materials.
Regarding airbrushing, there are lots of great tutorials and guides out there. If you want to chat about 'em, let me know-- I'm happy to shoot the [big bad swear word] about it.
Regarding the gloss coat, yes. It makes the panel liner flow better, and also makes cleanup much easier. Decals go on better as well, though there aren't any on these particular models.

I've had many aquariums over the years, fresh and salt. Love them all. Loved planning them. Loved getting them set up and cycled. Loved adding to them and watching them grow. And loved tearing them down and reclaiming my freedom. I'm aquariumless right now, but doubt that'll last forever.
Salt is a major commitment, reef tanks in particular. They're not as *hard* as people say, but they are expensive and absolutely require consistency and attention to detail. There's no skipping maintenance day if you want a healthy tank. And god forbid you have a heatwave you aren't ready for, or <gasp> a power outage. A bad turn and two days later you've got a tank full of spoiled clam chowder.
I'd suggest going smaller, and seeing how it feels. There's lots of good quality nano-tanks and related gear out there, and things like weekly water changes are a lot easier to deal with when you're just making and swapping a gallon or two of seawater... 10+ gallons is a half-day's job.
