Dear Buddha, please send me a pony, and a plastic rocket, and a Serenity Little Damn Heroes Maquette.

I can't see if there's anything behind the viewport-
I may have to do a bit of alteration if not...

No more running. I aim to misbehave.

Dear Santa,
I have been a naughty girl this year but I'm not going to change so just give it up and give me everything I ask for. The list is on a portable drive so if you just send me an address... :)

I'm SO going to get this. The price is amazingly right for this quality. Six years is long enough to wait.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Reeaally tempted to, it's gorgeous, but I'm mainly asking for college money. (And a Doctor Who special. And for the new episodes of Sherlock to air very soon and end my cliffhanger agony.)

What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

I think ya'll er' gonna wanna steer clear of tryin' ta cut inta yer Little Damn Replica.
It is going to be made of Chinese polystone,
which is a nasty, brittle combination of limestone and plastic resin.
The LDR is essentially a little statue of a spaceship,
not really a model to be modified.

Quote:

Polystone is primarily used in Asia (which, I would surmise is where QMx is having these made.)

China, specifically, sits on vast deposits of limestone. So, it is CHEEEEP. They mix regular old resin with up to 30% crushed limestone and make castings out of it.

This extends the volume of the more-expensive resin component, lowers the exo-therm, (so the molds last longer) and decreases shrinkage a bit.

The drawback is that it makes the castings very brittle and generally, they will shatter like glass if dropped. The resin they use in China is inferior to many of the materials we use here in the States.

Oh. Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll just have to adore it as is, give my modeler side a rest for a change.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

It's on my list, has been ever since it popped up on QMx, but I don't think the better half got the not so subtle hints that I dropped on her like 500 lb bombs.

Reckon it'll have to be a Christmas gift to myself.

Clever name, LDH

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Dear Buddha!? Santa is going to kick your ass!

I want Santa too;

1) Take a dump in your stocking

2) Start a rumor that you're cursed

3) Step on your cat

4) Eats the cookies you left him then barfs on your Lazy-Boy

5) Tears up you roof with his sleigh

6) Leaves roadkill in your chimmney

SANTA ROCKS!!

I take some comfort that there remain constants one can count upon to remain... constant.
