Yeah, that may be the best way to go. That chasmfiend is amazing and deserves a nice paint job.

I guess it depends how you are with small detail work. If you have a steady hand and a good magnifier glass and some really nice detail brushes it might not be too bad. My grandpa paints models and has for decades and he has a really nice magnifier that stands on the table so he only has to hold the model under it to make it easier to see close up.

Another option is getting them unpainted and finding someone local to paint them for you?

Yeah, I've put that into search at kbin but it turned up empty. We might still have been too new. We are starting to get subscribers and commenters from other instances though, so we're getting there :)

It's probably my third favorite after Steris and Vasher. I just love it, it's perfect.

Okay I found this link: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/136847.Sci_Fi_Fantasy_Spy_Books_Novels

and from it, I know a few people who really praise the Vorkosigan Saga, so maybe that's an option?

I know spy books and movies are pretty popular but in a sci-fi setting that'd be a bit new to me. Now I want it too hahaha

I don't think I've read any sci-fi books like this, but it sounds like an interesting premise!

I'm an admin from https://sffa.community

We did notice a large amount of bot sign-ups early on. We already ha email verification on and they never made it past that stage.

We have since turned on CAPTCHA and now they aren't signing up any longer.

We've purged the bot accounts from our database.

We are working on generating organic content but we've only been open for a couple weeks so I just ask that other instances bear with us. We've a very niche community of sci-fi and fantasy geeks. We'd love to be federated again.

On our instance we have !cosmere@sffa.community and !brandonsanderson@sffa.community along with some other niche ones. Still working on generating content since we're so new.

Our entire instance is dedicated to Sci-Fi and Fantasy media.

They sell the extra boxes until they run out. I do not think they have plans to stock individual swag items in the future but considering how popular those were, who knows what they will decide.
