Thank you Tom and @PhoenixG ! I worked very hard. I would like to work on my kits this weekend since I don’t have much planned : D
ALSOOO
I GOT INTO A STUDY ABROAD SCHOLARSHIP TO LEARN RUSSIAN IN LATVIA
I AM LITERALLYYY CRYING ITS BEEN MY DREAM FOR MONTHS LOL
its a full scholarship to study Russian for the summer ahhhhhhhhhh
Woah! Congrats! Color me jealous… I passed up a chance to study abroad in Finland while in college. Regret! Never pass up travel opportunities. Ever!
There are endless historical sites and museums to visit in that region. You’re going to have a ball.
Congrats Comrade! Travel now and see the world before work and other responsibilities prevent you from pursuing your “dreams” I also passed on an opportunity to study abroad but my reason was tied to the “almighty dollar”
Thank you so much (@Toimi_Tom @MR_TOM_SCHRY )
! Studying abroad can be extremely expensive - I am just super fortunate I was able to receive the NSLI-Y (national security language initiative for youth) scholarship which is a study abroad program 100% paid for by the US Government! It is a very competitive program (~15-20% acceptance rate), and I have been working on my application since September. I was absolutely shocked, and still am, to be honest! This is proof to me that if I work hard and put my all into it, I can achieve what I want : D
Hope things are going well for both of you guys as well
That’s such great news Comrade. When I was teaching I always tried to instill in my students to always set goals and to always strive to achieve them.

What the hell is that? A model kit of sushi roll? At least, that’s what it looks like.
The stupidest things that model companies come up with. 
Reminds me of this from long ago, a model kit of plastic trash. 
But it wasn’t all bad. A person could repaint the “trash” to look like asteroids and then use them in a sci-fi diorama.
Variety! No such thing as a stupid model. Great model for a sushi shop I suppose. My wife did this Bandai cup noodle. Everyone should build this kit to marvel at the engineering. No paint, no glue. Brilliant
Just goes to show you that there’s something for everyone out there.
that looks so goofy! but cool tho
I am going back to my homeland (Switzerland) for spring break on Friday!!
Comrade, I hope that you have a safe trip and a wonderful break from school.
Every model genre should have the equivalent of indie-link track! Everyone should experience the agony and frustration! 
But those rice grains have no connector pins, they aren’t handed, and how do you determine the number of grains needed to complete one rice ball?
Personally I LOVE crazy model subjects. But okay the rubbish model was kind of pointless.
So I asked ChatGPT to turn me into an action figure…
Prompt with supplied photo: “Could you please create an image of me as an action figure? My accessories will include a cockatiel, wine and a half-painted model tank”
Now if you would have asked ChatGPT to add in a beard and mustache, your pic could have looked like this. 
Haha, l appreciate the vote of confidence with such a powerful and intelligent character! Unfortunately AI is astute enough to know that facial hair growth is outside the realms of my genetic makeup. Best I can muster is a sparse spread of quarter-inch pubes protruding from my chin and upper lip I once tried to grow it out for an Australian Prostate Cancer Research fundraiser called “Movember” only to find my sponsors would up their donations if I aborted and shaved it off before the month was done, such was it’s hideousness…
I’m going to a military fort today and it’s gonna be sooo amazing!!
What fort are you going to?
It was Fort de Chillón! A former bunker from 1941-2001 and turned into a museum! Let’s see if I can add some pictures—
Wow! Those are some awesome photos. Thank you so much for including those. So you’re vacationing in Switzerland that’s got to be beautiful at this time of year. Enjoy your trip.
