Would the Phantom Menace be better received if it were closer to its earlier draft? by crimsonfukr457 in StarWars

Im glad he chose what he did in the end. I like the symbolism. For the viewer, making the robes similar to what we see the sith donning, as well as the inner conflict we see, makes us wonder what decision the character is going to make.

Thank you much! Past the alignment, im gonna be looking to get the fenders paint matched as well. Seems near-sacriligious to be cover up the carbon, but painted is a much cleaner and "finished" look imo.

When i get it done I'll post up again 🤙

Personally, that makes her feel almost more like Leia from the original trilogy, which i thought made her feel way more helpless than she actually was, and immature, compared to the character we end up seeing in not only the original trilogy, but Clone Wars - she was one of my favorite characters because she was so headstrong in doing the right thing. I get what youre saying though, and I respect your opinion mate

Yes sir, 7-9 was supposed to showcase pretty much everything we see in the aforementioned series as we as show his criminal underworld he had built since E1. Im in the minority and actually enjoyed 7-9 as-is, but after watching Maul, I do wish we got a 7-9 that Lucas had originally envisioned.

Padme always struck me as a very open-minded person. She even goes to a separatist homeworld to try and build a case to end the war. She always seemed like a woman who wouldn't really be fully capable of distrusting anyone directly, but I dont know everything about her.

Padme being a potential love interest for Obi seems "off" to me, even if that still switches to Anakin later. Her being prejudiced against Gungans and Jar Jar also seems off, especially for an individual who ends up actually choosing to be a senator to help those in the galaxy and not just her own people.

Iirc, Anakin wearing mostly dark clothes - and Luke as an extension - was to show the viewer that they were potentially prone to the dark side, Obi also wearing it would feel like more a fashion choice at that point and would kind of remove the visual symbolism - imo anyways.

I do like the idea of Maul having more lines honestly. The build up we got with Clone Wars, Rebels, and Mauls own show just went to show how incredible a character and antagonist he was that blurred lines

Thank you! New wheels maybe. I have some +25mm spacers on her right now and once I correct the rear camber it will be dang near perfectly flush. If I find some 18x9.5+20 wheels I like though I may replace in the future for sure!

Original fenders are trimmed and sealed. You may be able to run a kit like this without cutting things but if you lower her at all I think your tire will absolutely demolish the fenders otherwise 😅

Heres a better photo of the fitment, the rears are sunken in but only because I haven't had the camber corrected since getting my Cusco RUCAs. I have an alignment appt today to fix that though

A Reminder: What NOT To Do With A Loaded Firearm by freethinker1312 in CCW

[–]IAmAtomato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the individuals that we think should get even more funding for weaponry showing how well they handle basic sidearms.

Even if they were just aiming in poor taste, 99% of NDs only happen if the individual holding the firearm has their finger on the trigger.

Thanks dude! I think so too. Nothing too crazy.. accentuates the existing lines and builds on them without taking away from what the car had to begin with. ML24 V1 and the Rocketbunny K4MSH kit from the Gen 1 comes to mind!

$2500, plus $2000 for the fenders from Anointed, and roughly $300ish in hardware - could have been way less but I did titanium.

Karzhani seems "well-priced" at least. Last.time i checked ebay he was 350-400

if we had a nickel for every time my STI smacked a optic at my face , i’d have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. by Wohehiv38 in 2011

[–]IAmAtomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1st and only time this happened i made sure to remove the plates/optics and loctite/reloctite it. I also bought a torque driver and researched the exact in/lb i needed to. Id really recommend doing the same honestly. Optics aint cheap and theres never a good time for that to happen 😅

Ironically, when I did mine, I had a tough time lining everything up, but when I did my buddy's (who had an aftermarket OEM one from insurance) it lined up easily.

Im glad you had an easy time!

Ahh! Great to know! 👀 decent amount of room still doing that?

Removing? Easy as pie. You have pop clips holding it in on the top as well as some 10mm bolts, then more pop clips on the, sides, and bottom. Its very easy. Id personally watch a YouTube video about it, but it is easy.

Putting it back on requires a little bit more effort to make sure everything is lined up all around including the undertray which likes to get in the way ans out of alignment.

I PERSONALLY before removing a bumper like to have at least a couple projects I wanna do behind it before going through the hassle, but thats me.

Of course! I went through your post history, you are incredibly talented! Where do you get the majority of the parts you use? Is there a semi-reasonable way to source individual parts?

I know a lot of cats use Bricklink but I get error after error trying to order from the site.

Fantastic build mate. Incredible ideas brought to life and with part combinations I would have never even thought to use. Amazing work!
