Looks like there was about an hour delay, at least for it to be publicly visible. Not sure when you got the notification, but I originally responded with my Mastodon account within 5 minutes of receiving your comment.

The bridge may be acting up, so here’s my quoted reply:
@[email protected] No paint except panel lining. For the top coat I used two airbrushed coats of Vallejo Matt Varnish.
Not sure if the bridge is working, so here’s my quoted comment:
@[email protected] Yeah I lost one of those very small pieces for a few hours. Fantastic kit. I would have been ecstatic to find one for 30% off; it’s one of the first kits I put on my “wishlist”.
In addition to the very small pieces advice, I would also recommend putting decals and stickers on the wings even if one did not intend to put them anywhere else. They can look kinda boring without the color variation.
The silver one worked so well on the pistons, but any large flat surfaces or textured surfaces were a challenge. I had to try 3 times to get the spots on the waist armor somewhat decent looking. Almost gave up and used Vallejo Scarlet instead (I only have 6 colors of Mr Hobby available to me, and Shine Red isn’t one of them).

Since the fediverse bridge wasn’t behaving, I made a Lemmy account. Here’s Part One
Ultimately it all came from here: https://www.multiboard.io/parts-library
Some specific ones I used include:
Tiles (20 6x6): https://thangs.com/search/"Multiboard1" creator%3A"Keep Making"?scope=thangs&view=list
Offset snaps (I used 8mm, which is deprecated): A - https://thangs.com/search/"MB18" creator%3A"Keep Making"?scope=thangs&view=list B - https://thangs.com/designer/Multiboard/3d-model/Snap (DS Part B)-1323061

Locking bolt: https://thangs.com/designer/Multiboard/3d-model/Locking T-Bolt-1310062
Snaps: https://thangs.com/designer/Multiboard/3d-model/Moderate Weight-Bearing Snap-1311034
Wherever you want to use the mounting offset snaps, you’d use a friction fit.
Hm, gonna be a two parter.



Yet again not sure if my reply went through from Mastodon, so here’s the quoted reply:
