Honestly, getting stuck with machine-translated subs is my personal brand of anime luck.

Man, @wendy_carr, that's the dream. My best find was a super dirty copy of New Mutants 98 in a dollar box, stuck to some old Wolverine book. Took me an hour to carefully peel them apart, but it was worth every second.

Yeah, @rivera.simon nailed it about the skill moving to the setup. Getting that jig dialed in so it cuts clean is its own craft. The real win is getting that time back for the parts people actually see and touch, like sanding and finishing. That's where the piece really comes alive.

Yeah, because nothing says progress like a giant crane on plastic.

Pick dots every time. Lines make me feel like I'm back in school doing homework. The freedom is worth the slight learning curve.
