I have paperclips handy when painting.

A straightened paperclip always helps to declog any dropper bottle regardless of brand.

Works for me for the Reaper/Vallejo/Scale75 bottles.

 

Hmm... That never seems to work for me, I hit a valve or something in the Reaper bottles that Vallejo ones don't have.

 

Guess I'm just doing it wrong!

Question for January 27, 2019

 

Who is your favorite Movie character?

GODZILLA!

He's the dragon of our modern society. As awe inspiring as he is terrifying.

 

Most other kaiju also qualify, except 1998 Godzilla (unless it's the cartoon version).

I don't think there's a valve. If there was there isn't anymore because I use a small pin vice for cleaning clogs.

I can't answer this question. :blink:

 

You ain't the only one. Too many choices and I'm not that good at choosing one favourite anything. I love lots of stuff.

Easy answer for me, although it might confuse a few.

 

Stith, from Titan A.E.

 

Gune gets an honourable mention, but Stith is just so....  Epic.  I'll go with epic. ::P:

Been Veggiesaurus since the age of 12, there's no way I could ever take another creatures life and I wouldn't ask someone else to do it for me. This is the only forum I would ever admit my veggie choices, though- some people get really bent out of shape and insulting when they find out you don't eat meat. I mean, what the heck? I find it hard to understand why my food choices upset them so much- I would never tell someone what they could or couldn't eat, so why the sudden interest in my protein levels? ::(:

 

 

Sadly, that is an actual thing :blink: For those not in the know, it's a plate of chips.

And now I want some, preferably drenched in salt and vinegar :down:

And yet, I have never seen it that way on a menu in Scotland.  Must be an inside joke.  I loved the fries from Lido's in Helensburg.  And the poutine at Bread Meats Bread in Glasgo.

Even though I am of Scot's descent, I have never had the nerve to try haggis.

I've had a couple of times.  It's was kind of like a mild sausage.  Not bad at all, just not anything special.

"Mild sausage"? This is almost sacrilege. Whose make? A proper haggis has a LOT of spice in it. Try looking for some made by a company called McSween.

Well on of the time was as a burger topping at the Counting House.

 

And there had been much beer (good and bad) comsumed by that point so I can not vouch the shape my taste buds were in.

On the subject of haggis, does it have a liver-like texture? I have never been able to handle that type of texture. If not, I will definitely have to try it.

 

A real whole haggis, freshly cooked, will look like this:

The interior is quite granular with the minced meat and cooked barley readily distinguishable.

And yes, that is a sheeps stomach it has been cooked in. You are NOT obliged to eat it...

That looks splendid!  I would give that a go without hesitation. Especially with the caramelized onions and some of that mash in the background.  I made haggis in college, just to see what it would taste like.  Could not get a stomach, but was able to find intestines, which worked well enough. 

 

I've seen the haggis-in-a-can they sell in the US, and I'm sure it tastes like most things sold in cans....
