That's why you always work over the mat. A new lesson learned at an unfortunate price.

 

[xanon]

OMG, the memories of crawling around the floor, searching with a flashlight, hoping something pops out. Of course, you don't find it until a month later when you step on it with a bare foot...

Thanks for another chapter.

Some feedback, SFX is all-or-nothing. When it's done partially, it's a bit jarring to read.

 

[Kaarme]

I'm not a model builder, but I've been crawling on the floor, looking for tiny screws, springs, and such when fixing devices. The frustration is real.

 

[eviljackspicer]

Did this.
Gundam build.
Tiny piece.
Flew across the room.

PAIN

Fair. Often I just leave SFX until later if I'm unsure what to do with them. Like on page 5 I was thinking something like, 'Do I want to just write turn/twist for this or can I come up with a noise for it?' and eventually I just forgot to change it at all. Anyway, all 3 offending pages in this chapter should have at least something next to them now.

Once again, thanks for the chapter.

Mr. Monopoly.

 

[Moppye]

What a nightmare!

 

[stavekoff]

one time i lost bits i was only able to find when i moved

 

[fight2live]

i'm still not brave enough to work with etching parts 😅

 

[ksen]

I bet she'll find it like 2 years later perfectly fine on the floor somehow never swept away during cleaning. Happened to me once.
Thank you very much for scanlation!

Ahem

They're called PHOTO ETCH parts. And they're ART

(No, I haven't worked up the courage to work with photo etch parts but I have some stocked away)

 

[realnpc]

I love building ships. I hate building masts. Biggest pains come from those darn things

 

[Fugutron]

I absolutely hate photetch with a passion.
Also old model shop man may be out of line trying to trick a purchase, but he's right. Without photoetch, ship models look kind of... not complete.

 

[Korvalus]

Thank Sigmar and the God-Emperor of Mankind we doesn't have those anymore. Looks like a colossal pain. Some of the kit pieces come dangerously close to the size and problems, though...

And girl, be thankful your FLMS doesn't bring Warhammer. The granpa would try to sell you a Dreadnought or an Imperial Knight the first gunpla you buy (saw happen once) and YOU'RE NOT READY FOR THAT (price tag, mostly).
