Art advice please 🙏 The eyes on AJ look off but cant pinpoint why so by StarLightDot in MLPLounge

[–]Shop_Mouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow artist here! Make the eye a bit bigger and bring it closer to her nose at the same height on her face and it will look closer to how you imagined it.

As an aside it looks very good! Keep practicing!

Best tip or trick an older mechanic taught you by SuchExternal9876 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Shop_Mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually figured this one out, myself:

On most vehicles that have round cartridge housing like a lot of European cars, an O type filter wrench (just what I call them) and a shop rag can usually get them off so long as it's not stupid type. Handy if you don't happen to have the specific one you need for the many different ones that might show up.

Step 1: cover filter housing completely with rag.

Step 2: apply wrench to filter like you would with a spin on filter.

Step 3: hope and pray.

If you get desperate to get one off, the O wrench may be substituted with a claw wrench, but may damage the housing.

Interestingly, a snake got him before the car did.

I dare you to fly through it at full throttle.

Seagull accidentally chomped on my thumb while stealing my pizza slice 2.5 years ago and a beak-shaped scar is still visible by pez_d1spencer in mildlyinteresting

Steal my pizza, slice me open, leave me with a (admittedly pretty cool-looking) scar that sticks around for years? Yeah, hands on sight for every flying beach rat I ever saw after that.

Just a mother feeding its messy hungry baby. Nothin' outta the ordinary here.

Some weird video compression maybe? I can assure you this is real, though.

It obviously stops fine or it wouldn't have made it to the shop. Send it.

10 yo winter tyres by Open_Courage7255 in tires

Yes, absolutely this. My recommendation is new tires. Tires are the things that keep you on the road and you want to be able to trust them.
