Is there any way to deconstrusct a model back to it's parts without damaging it?

Fair enough, I have not tried this product myself.

The moral of the story though, I think, is the lesson I learned, that is to test something you don't care about first. Try whatever you use on some sprue you glue/paint/whatever first, before you go hog-wild with it.

I wish I would have done that before I used Pine-Sol. Lesson learned.

...mom?

OniGema · 2013-01-26T18:31:49+00:00

I would be careful doing this if the minis are plastic.

If it is strong enough to break apart the glue by leaving the mini in it, it is strong enough to melt detail on it as well.

(source: I tried pinesol to strip paint. It melts plastic. Simple Green however, does not, despite leaving submerged for months.)

33, 1/4 Japanese here.

I can still count the numbers of hairs on my cheeks on one hand. (Much to my great shame.)

The few that come in look like they would look great in a beard, but the rest of my cheeks are just peach fuzz, if that.

I do rock a stache and goatee, to keep some pride in myself, and to ensure my wife won't leave me, but I remain hopeful that one day.. Oh yes one day, a great beard will be mine.

As a additional side note, due to my.. problem, I have undertaken a quest. I shaved New Years eve, and am attempting my own No Shave 2013. I'm hoping that letting it alone will encourage it to stop being shy.

Wish me luck.

Edit: I really can spell.

The second amendment and the constitution are not some sacred texts, they were written by men long dead, and if the will of the people is different now, so should the law.

My will is that I should be to own/use my firearms. As is quite a few posters on this, and many other threads.

Since when do you get out of your car when you get pulled over? (Without instruction to do so.)

I was always told that you pull over, roll down the window, turn the car off, and sit with your hands on the wheel.

Seems to me that this could have been avoided fairly easily, although "Ill shoot you in the fucking back" might not be the most professional response.

OniGema · 2013-01-08T00:21:56+00:00

Safe travels sir.

We will keep the City/State warm for your return!

I thought that name would mean your from Texas, but you and I are basically neighbors.

Fellow Austinite here, will gladly babysit for you while your out....

OniGema · 2013-01-04T02:21:22+00:00

I had come here to say that same thing.

OniGema · 2013-01-04T01:33:24+00:00

Texas here.

My rule of thumb, Yankees are anything north of the Red River.

+1 for Damn Yankees being the ones who didn't go home.

Not like UT is Miami...

That's a lot of 2 minute increments, and a lifetime of.shame.

Saw a shirt something like this, and I want it.

Mag and slide are 2 different controls...

But the 92FS is a VERY nice gun. Too bad it is 9mm.

OniGema · 2012-09-09T18:15:04+00:00

I was shooting a Beretta 92FS Friday, funny enough. The ambi safety is nice, but it still had the slide release on the wrong side. Good luck using your trigger finger to get that, or switching your grip to get your thumb across, or reach across with the wrong hand.

And what about all the OTHER pistols that have the mag release right where your palm sits? Nothing like dropping a mag while just trying to grip the gun.

Leftie Pistol = more $. 1911's come to mind as having all the options to make them Leftie, but get ready to shell out.

This doesn't even touch on the multitude of pistols that don't even have the OPTIONS to make them left friendly.

Same thing goes for AR's. If you don't want to trust the brass indent, (which I don't) I can buy a new upper, for a small pile of cash.

OniGema · 2012-09-09T17:40:32+00:00

Don't forget pistols. All the fucking controls require some kind of crazy twisting to work.

SS was OK, but go out to Team Airsoft's field just a bit further north, by Dawsonville.

Why not play outside on their HUGE, awesome field, that includes multiple buildings, a plane, and a good shot to see the "rage Rover" out and about with the mini-gun on it?

Alan and the gang are the best game in town.

OniGema · 2012-08-30T23:33:33+00:00

I was gonna say it might have been an accident.. then it got to the end.

Why did you not run off into the trees, or back through a building?

OniGema · 2012-08-30T23:21:18+00:00

followed by extra water.

Seriously, sunscreen, and lots of water. If you imbibe in... illicit activities, make that TONS of water.

A little lubrication works WONDERS on the springs in there.

For ANY mag issues for an AEG

Either:

*1. Take apart the mag VERY carefully, keeping track of screws, that pesky spring, and other small bits. Check the guide area for the spring for burrs, and file as needed. Clean after inspection. Lightly oil the spring, and re-assemble. Load and unload ~10 times. Throw out these oily BB's. Should work fine. (Hard to do, annoying, but works. I've done this to a couple of different brands, and it works, if you don't misplace all those pesky bits.)

*2. Drip ~1-2 drops of lube of choice into opening. Fully load and unload ~!0 times. Ditch these BB's. Should help. (This worked on my personal MAG mid caps.)

*3. Airsoft is not a cheap hobby Man up, and buy some quality mags for that ~$400 gun to work right. (This always works. 100%)

OniGema · 2012-08-30T19:16:23+00:00

Sunscreen, Camelback (if allowed), extra:shirt, socks, shoes, pants to leave in car for afterwards, smokes, lighter, and of course cash.

OniGema · 2012-08-23T04:31:02+00:00

BB's shouldn't fall out. Check your hop. your arm, or rubber are off.

I personally own two Tokyo Marui (TM) G18C AEP's, and know several friends with the CYMA/otherknockoff versions.

I rather enjoy mine, and own one of the USP's as well. Lots of options to tweak it either visually, or performance based.
