US hardware standards are INSANE.
Working on a prop for my action-figure photo comic, "Minions at Work," and I want to attach some decorative lamp finials upside down as legs for a piece of furniture. Go to store, get some screws. Easy, right? A standard 1/4" screw is 20 pitch thread. But a lamp finial is 1/4" 27 pitch, for reasons that probably made sense to Tommy Edison. Can't find screws like I want, even online. (cont.)

Need a break from current events? This is a perfect weekend to cozy up & build castles! Color them in, or leave them black & white and just build — it's relaxing fun either way. It's a great activity with kids, friends, family, or just by yourself.

In addition to the 2 different wall sets, you can also download vestibules, 3 different portico designs, modular shrubbery, and a brand new tower design — all richly detailed and beautiful whether you color them in or not. Subscribe for $2 a month or more and get access to all of them!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're an Apple user, I strongly recommend signing up by visiting my Patreon page in a regular browser. Apple is now applying their 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased in the Patreon iOS app *in addition to the cost of your membership* every month. Yikes! But there's no extra charge if you sign up anywhere else. If you sign up via the Android app or if you're already a subscriber, you're good & this doesn't apply to you.

Here's the link to my entire Coloring Castle Kit Collection:

And here's the link to my whole Patreon page, if you wanna look around at everything else I've been up to: comics, fabric paper & book arts, and more:

Happy building! And if you feel like sharing pics of your castles, I'd love to see what you make!

Layla's done! I might've... summoned an elder god with how much swearing I did in tongues too ancient to have names while I was trying to get the legs on, but we won't worry about that for now.

Included is a picture of the A sprues for comedic effect: I wasn't looking to recreate the exact colour scheme from the box and wound up only using a single grey piece from that sprue.

This model's pretty fragile so I don't know how much life she'll have off the shelf now.
