Yup. It's damn near impossible not too lol here's my current mess. Naturally I had to pay tribute to the man who never betrayed anyone with the paint. It was also a lot of fun finding out the rx-124 "legs" + the v2 backpack make effortless gliding instead of walking. You just float everywhere 😂
I haven't played online yet, I like to make sure I have a good handle on the game before doing that. But so far the single player has been pretty fun. I'm enjoying making some of the fugliest gundams that whoop in battles and painting them up like they aren't some frankensteined mess 😂
*I am aware they are "B"s, but I keep seeing them as "R"s lol
Holy cow. That thing is BEAUTIFUL! 🤩
They do well as light work machines. Mines done some weird stuff, and Ive subjected it to various things, but it keeps on trucking. Worst it's ever done is reset on me, but logging in brought back everything important.
That script has an option to install coreboot in it's TUI. But it only works on x86, arm Chromebooks aren't supported by the utility
Oh snap! There's an AppImage now https://community.ui.com/releases/WiFiman-Desktop-0-2-2/74d8bc1d-6735-444b-a7fc-0ea2584ccb89
Getting a Chromebook to run Linux is pretty easy these days with MrChromebox's utility https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/
As to the main purpose of your post, I use fedora on my Pinebook pro and it works great. Though with the lack of resources compared to x86 laptops, many things can be slow to start, like browsers. Id never use it to try and watch videos online, it's a painful experience.
I also have an older Chromebook with a Celeron powering it, and it sips power. I can forget to charge it for a week, grab it, and still have a few hours of battery I can use.
I do. It's nice. Just earlier I used teleport to remote in and setup a docker container, while out. It's certainly the biggest advantage to me, having a one click/tap VPN connection to a network. It's helped me out several times at home and work.
potato bread/buns are great! Try it if you ever get a chance
I have a project I'm doing where a small hobby board has connectors for different things, including LEDs. I don't want to use the original LED strip, and would like to make a single LED that plugs into the board instead, but I don't know how to identify/find this connector. Can anyone help?
If anyone had any tips/tricks for any of these models, idy love to hear them! I want to do these right by their awesomeness and make them look good!
This thing was a simple kit made into a beast with the way I went about layering blacks to get one that was slightly lighter than black-black and kept some of the metallic of the base coat. I'd have done another but it wouldn't go with what I have planned for it without the different head types for the V. Oh well, 2/3 done! This is my take on the Victory coloring for the Rear Shrike Corps from Crossbone Ghost.
HG Zaku II C5 (bc I can't find a C6) for Font Baud in the Crossbone Ghost scene I'm now putting together.
I didn't like the greens used in the kit, so I grabbed some cans of Valejo Goblin Green and Russian Green. The grey's/blacks/browns were painted with Testor's Graphite Grey Metallic. The backpack was painted with Testor's Diamond Dust and given a couple of quick sprays of Ironlak Black Techie, for texture. Bc this is the only suit of the 3 that's "old," I used an acrylic Satin topcoat to give it a fuller look compared to the X0 and V that will accompany it.
Since the Zaku is the only non-combatant in the 4-way fight of Crossbone Ghost, I grabbed a box of Build Hands Round. I was a little surprised when I got them, as all the small, medium, and large options were noticeably different in size from the hands included with the Zaku kit. In the end, I went with the medium, as they were closest (smaller, but still closest.)

What doozy this one is! The build was great! Took me forever but that was on me.
In my now-fashion, I gave it a coat of paint, this time in more places than I usually do. Every piece of the internal frame got painted this time around. I did not paint the yellows bc it's an iconic color to me and I haven't found the right metallic yellow (I don't want gold) yet. I also used a few glitter coats of differing glitter fineness. The finest one was used on the yellows as a light coat to give it some shimmer. I actually really wanted this puppy to shimmer. I used the medium fine to spray on the psycho frame pieces, as well as on the funnel stand segments closest to the flying fins, and the coarser glitter spray on the segments closest to the stand. I was hoping to kind of recreate the summer trail left behind psycho controlled funnels. I also got some of the newer style LED pucks for MG so I decided this guy should have one!
Some things I noticed when building this big boi:
Articulation is awesome!
The few color changing stickers were a very welcome change to the foil stickers of HGs. They were super sticky and pliable. It found it to be no problem using a lil extra thumb force to get a lil stretch on then in areas they didn't quite reach far enough. I also didn't realize they were even part of the kit until opening it, so I ended up painting the light grey ones to match the light silver I used.
These suckers are not built to hold 6 funnels on one shoulder without great care. If 6 fins are on the backpack and it's placed on the stand, it leans lol it's not a snug fit to the back/backpack from the stand.
I did get the P-Bandai double funnel set to go with this (I know I didn't config the Nu for double fins on the backpack, but I like that cool sabre 😎) and the dang fins just don't want to stay shut enough to keep the lil effects in place (as seen in the gallery)
The double fin set also came with 🥁🥁🥁 an exact duplicate of the stand included with the Ver.Ka 🤦♂️ SoI guess I have a spare now 🤷♂️
Overall a great build! Now it's time to move on to the HG "scene" from Crossbone Ghost I've been planning!
Now that Im in a new place and have new shelves, I thought it was finally time to bring home the rest of my HG collection from my office

Yea! It’s a sticker from Meow Wolf in Denver. 100% worth visiting.
