I watched it in college because of all the musician cameos (front men from Motorhead and Fields of the Nephelim). Loved the film.

If you're using plastic glue (which melts/welds plastic together), you need bare plastic for it to work right.
Cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) doesn't need bare plastic, but there's always the risk of the paint coming off at the connection, breaking the join.

If you are using non-contrast paints, I find it easiest to not fully assemble the minis before painting. Paint the arms and shoulders separate so that it is easier to hit all that "chaos trim".
Make sure to leave your glue points unpainted. I use poster tac to cover those (and it makes a good handle when you stick in a toothpick).

Hit the whole model with the gold, then use contrast paints (I use Talassar Blue) over the areas to be blue. Be careful to not paint over the trim, but it can wipe off with a moist cotton swab.

People were in an uproar over "indoctrination" by the game. If your child can be convinced to join the army by playing that game... maybe it's for the best.

I have a multilevel farm (each level has 8 domes, filled with enough plants to make 5 stasis devices). I also have three gas & mineral farms for each of the required non-biological pieces.
Sure, 20min is a touch of hyperbole, as there are some steps to get the carbon ready, harvest everything, etc. Once I have it all in my inventory, I can generate roughly 10 at a time. By the time I'm done, it's about 20min. I then take some time to sell across a few systems.

Expeditions are a main draw.
As an "open universe" game, it helps to set your own goals. Many people work to find the "perfect ship". Others try to max out their frigate and fleet.
I decided to build a farm and mining operation that generates everything needed for top-tier manufactured goods. 20 min of base-hopping and crafting now nets me roughly one billion. This is enough to let me not worry about funds for a while.
Another fun thing to do is wander about with a friend. My brother and I routinely do derelict missions for fun.
It just boils down to "find what you enjoy doing and do that."

For bronze, I would mix brown ink into the resin, then slowly add gold mica until you like it.

Easiest solution I can think of is to use a blank insert. You can paint it as needed, even use washi tapes.

It's, essentially, the PeaceCorps but for within the United States (my eldest just finished a stint with them). There are several groups under the umbrella, my kid worked with the NCCC (they worked roughly like an outreach program for FEMA).
While I don't think someone in their mid-30s would fit in most of the generic parts of AmeriCorps (it targets the 19-25 crowd), they do have administrative needs. This would be probably similar to what you would do as an Air Force Reservist of a similar age.

I do resin casting as it pertains to dice. Sadly, I have not found any communities where I am not the only poster.
I know of some dicemaking discords, but you might need to poke your head into Reddit (blasphemy to some here) and find external links from one of their communities.
As to basic questions for small scale casting (even my big pours are under 100ml), I am happy to answer.

Made a "Snow Globe" d20 (60mm chonk) for a friend's wedding. I'm making a second chonk with a more detailed version of the mini as an inclusion.
After unlocking all (current) weapons and strats, sometimes it's just fun to kill bugs with Eruptor\Stalwart.
I managed to embed two 35mm scale figures inside without much issue. While I was letting bubbles shake out from the mold on my vibration table, I sacrificed an old brush to brush extra resin onto the models to prevent bubbles being stuck in the details.
Doctor Patches, however, does not like sharing the sill.
 
Cataphractii with aftermarket shields, helmets, hammers, and badging.      
  Light-up forbidden jolly ranchers.
Started two days in advance. I am baffled by how many pots & pans the French must have in their homes.
   Army painter chain mail primer, then a whole host of contrast paints, Nuln Oil, and a white paint. Magnetized at the waist and for the top weapon. All my others have magnetized arms, but these were from an old box that only made Warglaives.
Spouse requested a Yul ornament. Turns out, it was a typo.
I truly admire Ruby's restraint here.

The Baron DeWhyskers. Here's hoping that he won't become a 13+ pound shoulder cat like the last one.
Adopted from a friend's barn cat. Our current cats are... displeased for now.
I had been out of 40k since 3rd (sold armies, etc), then some buddies got back into it 10+ years ago. Not having the funds at the time, I built an army from shrink-film.   I had to print out images to trace and do the maths so the final result was passable. This is why I made a conversion ruler (original length in blue, final size in red).  I never got around to vehicles or walkers, but I was designing some slot-together bits. 
  I swear, any more magnets and my army will interfere with pacemakers.
Two actual cat beds and a "house" in the frame. She is sleeping on a shopping bag. The only cat bed she likes is the hanging one with her stuffed animals.

  Dry brushing done. All that's left is the trim and final details.
Dinosaur costume edition.
 I'm going to be building up layers of UV resin as a sludge pit. I may be adding some bones as well.
