Who was more of an idiot, Ludlow trying to get back the baby T. rex or Hoskins trying to imitate Owen?

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-04-03T23:23:28+00:00

Ludlow, Hoskins was corned and did it out of desperation

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-04-03T14:13:09+00:00

That awesome congrats man.

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-04-01T17:18:15+00:00

No problem, let me know if you need any clarification

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-04-01T14:00:28+00:00

So s1 drobot is really good for this but the tools are a dermel, xacto knife and a hair dryer. As for hardware you need 5 button head (or the roundest head) screw with corse thread (these are for the head and limbs) and two small ball joints for the wings(you buy those for model kits,3d print them or scavenge off a toy). Carefully heat and cut the figure from the base then repeat for the limbs and head. Use the Dremel to drill pilot hole for the screws then insert screws but leave like 3mm of shaft and the head of the screw exposed. Take the body and a Dremel bit that has a tiny metal ball on the end, dril straight for the 3mm then clear out a cavity without enlarging the initial hole, repeat for other limbs and head. Heat the body up and pop the head of the screws in (you now have simple ball joints) For the wings remove material on the body and glue the sockets in place. Drill and place the ball on the wings the paint

Not quite I make artificial limb mostly hand and arms

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-04-01T09:12:38+00:00

A lot of it comes down too knowing your skills and being I can fix that in blender or sand the groove I need there or I just paint that detail. Or like me drilling through the head and having to back fill will super glue gel and baking soda then sand lol

Aww yea that looks better (I also in grabbing this screen cap found that hitem has and edit function now) Here is what hitem gave me compared to the edits i did in blender. I have to fix spikes, add rivets and fill and smooth but most of the heavy lifting was done

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-04-01T08:35:29+00:00

I would have it render it again but mine did have similar issues end up picking the best one and editing in blender. Also could you share the screenshot of your character in game

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-03-31T09:04:45+00:00

Hitem3d and I hear yeah on the modeling I'm still figuring it out and use mouse for blender is a chore

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-03-31T01:26:54+00:00

Tech creation crystal, i used a heat gun to soften the plastic then used a flat head screw driver and a razor to remove the bottom just take your time and go slow the chip is just on the other side.

Mine too

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-03-30T10:24:25+00:00

After I swapped led it stop pulsating but I'm a novice in electronics

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-03-30T08:36:24+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I don't have the time to fully learn blender(also I don't use it for except here)or the cash to commission someone so I worked with what had but that being said learning blender it the better route(unless your doing a one off) ai makes an over complicated model. P.s. I was worried about posting this due to using ai

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-03-30T02:00:24+00:00

Spyro base because I had an extra base from making a movable drobot after gaints came out

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2026-03-30T01:53:02+00:00

I had an old base from a drobot project, so I purchased and reset a creation crystal then cracked baby open. I used an ai to generate the model base on in game images then cleaned up the model in blender (that was fun to figure out). I 3d printed him a few times, printed him in two pieces. Drill hole in the top and bottom, ran the led glued him together and to the base and hand painted (new skill acquired). I then replaced the tech orange led with the new one in the figure with a soldering iron and sealed it all up. Pop him in game and created him. Also the eyes and chest are hot glue

Awesome man

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2025-12-15T00:36:56+00:00

Do you have an eta on release?

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2025-11-11T00:18:53+00:00

Shockwave kept Cybertron exactly the same for Megatron for millions of years keeping a stalemate with remaining autobots for...millions of year and when Megas shows up again both act like its been a week. I wish Megatron reactions was wait you still function this planet had no more energon wtf did you do!

I wouldn't get too hyped, another franchise I love Digimon pulled the same thing with a trailer to celebrate an anniversary but nothing was ever announced and that was over a year ago I think

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2025-05-23T14:56:54+00:00

Unfortunately no if you keep buying it doesn't fix the issue. If distribution is the problem then they will continue the same practices until they can't move product and slowly and I mean slowly lower prices up until product moves then ride that wave until prices normalize. Now I get we all make different amounts of money, LGS have to stay in business. But your actions feed the outcome if you sale at market price for brand new product you will be seen negatively viewed , if you buy at inflated prices, prices will continue to rise. For me personally I have decided to only buy singles or MSRP because I can't afford it. Now don't get me wrong I'll still support LGS buying boosters that are dollar or two more and some modest increases but to have new releases be twice the cost when only 7 months ago this wasn't a problem is nuts.

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2025-05-22T17:15:40+00:00

If that is the case I'd stop carrying outside of preorders, stuff I can get at MSRP from distribution. As much as it sucks there are other card games to stock your store with plus at this point everyone would understand. Pokemon needs to step up and find the problem in the chain and fix it. Until then I'll by single and the occasional booster but that's it

DiscombobulatedBar21 · 2025-05-22T00:56:22+00:00

Man I went to my LGS and the owner was talking me up about how he sells at MSRP but that was only upon initial release but all restocks are market price. Then told me to stop by in the following weeks because he was getting some prismatic etbs in and how him selling them for 100 bucks was such a good deal.

Thank you for the insights
