  • I have spun up an instance and made use of the csv import. So far my main complaints are the lack of bulk image uploads (that I've found) and a seeming inability to generally browse items (except by location).

    The label system is quite useful, although I do wish there could be tiers of labels, or maybe category options that function similarly to labels but in a different part of the UI.

    Thank you again for the suggestion; I'll continue playing around with it while I look into others suggestions.

  • Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it. It seems like I will need more than a brief glance at the readme to figure out how it works, but it seems like installation is relatively simple.

  • It looks like that would work as an essentially 1-to-1 replacement, especially since I would never need the full GB that instance offers. I could even self-host it, although without an existing proxy config that would likely be a bit too much for me at this point. Thank you for the suggestion.

    Edit: Not quite 1-to-1: similar to HomeBox, it does not support linking images, just uploading image files. This isn't a deal breaker, though.

  • That may work quite well, and my reverse proxy already has an example config for it. I'll look into it some more. Thank you.

  • Wow I didn't even know you had posted the same kit a few hours before I did. Your pose is even cooler!

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

    @orbitz@lemmy.ca Looking for anything that isn't just the top 5 of the year is honestly pretty hard. Here are a few High Grade red releases of varying price and availability from the last couple years:

    If you have patience and are willing to pivot, you can do a (good) RG kit as your first. You're more likely to finish a kit you like either way.

  • 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:

    @jodanlime@midwest.social 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:

    @wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 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).
