Bloody Stupid Johnson strikes again

It’s a mercy you aren’t into Gundam models.

Sounds like an expensive hobby.

Also a way to humblebrag about the size of your yard

Apparently G2 got the chop in 1917. There was a feeling that they couldn't keep all of them, and the supply of G2 models (mostly German) had been cut off by WW1. A magazine asked readers whether G1 or G2 should go and the response was "G2". That was it for trade support!

My dad likes 7/8ths" scale, which is ~1:13.7 and accurately models 2-foot narrow gauge on 45mm track

I'm vaguely upset that this is the opposite of shotgun gauge, where a smaller number is a bigger bore. (It's the fraction of a pound weight of a lead ball that size -- e.g. a lead ball that would fit a 12 ga. barrel weighs 1/12 lb.)

On the plus side this construction site will come in really handy for my 1:1 replica of the device from contact

Can I get an IO?

@mrbtx.bsky.social

I hate when that happens!

Base?

Supertrain!

This has happenned to all of us

Average phineas and ferb A plot

Reminds of a Calvin & Hobbes strip, where he has a lil lump of modelling clay, and wants to make a knight-statue of himself, but only has enough clay for one hoof.

Goddamnit, Randall - square/cube law?!?!?! ;-)

“Wait, it’s all OH?” “Always has been.” 🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀

Just wanted to know how big is this compared to the other ships on moreorlesser spaceship size chart?

How big is your yard?

Redefining "Divorce Grade" in scale modeling.

This is what all the engineering at Neom was leading up to

I've heard the same story about "Larry the Lobster," one of Australia's Big Things. Allegedly the commissioning seafood people said something like "...giant lobster statue, fifteen feet long..." and the artist wrote down "giant lobster, 15 meters" and nobody noticed until it was delivered.
