There's so much of that wherever you go...the on-line business self-gain type hits you in the face constantly as we tend to spend a good amount of time surfing the net. Outside that I'm sure we all have had that partner/friend/colleague who insisted on "taking" and never "giving" back and that's not sustainable. Thankfully tankers here are smart enough not to allow that to go unnoticed.

I know how that is, life happens and then we all draw an absence but I admire those who keep coming back to continue posting, commenting and just enriching this community in their own way.

Posting for personal gain is short lived with short term benefits if any, yet I'm shocked how there's still a lot of that.

Agreed 100% on both topics .

Anyone have a good technique for giving figures glasses (not sunglasses)? Not worried about making them removable, just want something that looks natural and to-scale.

When I was doing this years ago , I found the best CA glue. Quick bonding, not thick and not thin. For the life of me can’t recall the name. (Though I think it had an orange label or maybe green.) just wondering what you guys are using now to bond your parts together?

I just use gorilla glue, but Bob Smith Industries glue is good, too

This is probably way too advanced for me, but how would you master-artists go about recreating/matching this pearlescent effect?
