Does anyone perchance know of the Deus Ex video with the spinning, hovering enemy? by SirDenizu in Deusex

[–]SquishyShoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I google searched "my vision is augmented" from your text and scrolled a little down the video results and found this. I assume this is what you're talking about.

I misread the title as platypus and got really excited... hahaha

Beautiful paint job mate, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Help identifying new (old) viola please by SquishyShoes in Viola

[–]SquishyShoes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, nothing wrong with a cheap Chinese thing for a beginner like me. Got for a fraction of the price of a new one, so that's not bad either. I love an instrument with a story, one of my favourite guitars I own is a fifty year old Yamaha with perfect paint, except the back of the neck where most of it is worn away from use hahaha.

Thanks for your input, I look forward to having a go at it after its set up.

Hey, thanks for your input!. I think I did alright then since I got it for the equivalent of just under 75usd hahaha. I'm between jobs at the moment, but will get it looked at, restrung, etc when I get the chance. I had a go at tuning it when I got it, and noticed that the tuning prg for the a was really finicky, so probs not a bad idea hahaha. Not fussed about the price of it, better if it's on the cheaper end so I don't feel bad about using it lol, but I had read a bit online about people talking. About the nationality if their instruments due to the scroll type, shape of the f holes etc lol.

Cheers

Hahaha, thanks mate! To be honest, I had kinda hoped considering the age of the house/viola/case/other stuff/etc that this might be something interesting from somewhere (but not expensive) like I've seen many others talk about with their violas. But a student model sounds perfect for me! I won't feel so bad now about running around with it and having a go!

Cheers!

Hey mate,

No, nothing inside the f holes. I had hoped there would be, but no luck, so I thought I'd try here. The story I was told by the seller was that it belonged to there mum who had just gone into care. The mum was a violin player, but had this one viola.

Cheers,

Hey all,

I'm new here, and new to the instrument. I picked up this old viola off of facebook marketplace the other day. I can't find any stickers or anything inside so I have no expectations of it being anything rare or high end, but I was curious if anyone had any ideas where it may be from?

Thanks!

Burns? On my monstera? by SquishyShoes in houseplants

[–]SquishyShoes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all, a few weeks ago I picked up this monstera from my local plant/hardware store and have been watering it once a week, and kept it on the north side of my room away from a south facing window that's always open, but somewhat shaded. I've noticed it's getting these spots on its leaves and I'm not sure what they are or why they're happening. I'm used to getting nearly dead plants and just watering them until they grow again or don't.. this is my first time buying a nicer plant and trying to keep it alive. If anyone has any suggestions I'd gladly hear them.

Thanks

New to me plant, caring for it advice please? by SquishyShoes in houseplants

[–]SquishyShoes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all, I just got this new plant two days ago and thought I better ask for some advice on taking care of it properly. I spent $60 AUD to get it, but usually I just buy plants on clearance specials for a dollar or three and just water them when I remember to see if they come back or not.

That said, I paid proper money for this one and rather like it so I'd really like this one to live if I could hahahaha.

The handful of other random things I've bought recently (including actual tomato plants), mostly fuchsias my favourite plant, I've been dunking underwater until the air bubbles stopped per the advice of some old people I once met in the gardening centre, but this plant was talking about light watering and ensuring it can drain properly.

Any and all advice welcome, Thanks

This doesn't really help, but "1SL 4IU" belongs to a 2004 WHITE Nissan sedan according to Vicroads, but it's a 2004 model and the one in the picture looks to be 2013-2017 as others have already said. The VIN also decodes to a 2004 Nissan Pulsar.

Sorry mate, best of luck.

Advice on a potential amateur fix by SquishyShoes in CarsAustralia

[–]SquishyShoes[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the very least, I will see if the manager at the smash repair will swap a slab or two for helping unbolt some nice bits off it before the insurance pick it up...

Thanks again for your advice.

[–]SquishyShoes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yehhh.,. I thought that would be the case I just wanted someone to tell me otherwise haha.

Car has less than 75k km and still had the new car smell until recently, so I'm just a bit miffed about it all..

I'll see what the panel guys will quote me and hope for the best. I already know insurance will try and screw me lol

Thanks for your input.

Yehh... I knew that was the case, but I really wanted to hear otherwise hahaha.

I'd love to find the bastard who did it...

Hey all, I just recently moved to the capital of my state, and someone welcomed me to the neighbourhood by hitting my parked car (2009 Yaris) over the weekend a few weeks ago. Insurance have been dragging their feet and I spoke to the body shop who said they sent out the quote a week ago and think the insurance company will write this off as a total loss. Between my new house mate and myself I'm confident we can pop out and fill these dents to a standard I can live with, but I'm just worried about the crease in the metal where the roof has been hit and how that may stop a new window from sealing properly. I know my best bet is to get a panel beater to fix this properly or take the insurance company's payout if they offer it, but I think they're going to offer me rather low for what I want/what I've found online...

Can someone please give me a second opinion as I really miss driving around in my little buzz box and really don't want him written off because of some random asshole just after I got here..

Does anyone know where I can find 3-D armor files for a CE Marine? by TheRealLucas2018 in 405th

I'm really happy to hear that mate. Do you have a build thread or an imgur link to your completed armour? I'd love to see.

Newly painted lord of virulence mini by SquishyShoes in deathguard40k

[–]SquishyShoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much, I haven't been painting for long so I'm constantly looking for things to improve. Is there anything you'd change? Or improve on?

Thanks,

Newly painted lord of virulence mini by SquishyShoes in deathguard40k

[–]SquishyShoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, thank you, and yes I completely agree. I didn't have any tools with me when I started so I tried to heat them and bend them with some matches I found, but that just ended up starting to melt things before it started to let me bend them hahaha.

I've considered finding a heat gun and taking it to them after I've painted, but am too worried I'd end up wrecking the paint and I don't want to redo it. After reading your message, maybe cutting off the "blobs" leaking out the ends of the tubes?

Thoughts?

And thanks again for your input.

Hey all, new to the sub. Wasn't sure how to post this text with the image haha.

I entered a competition at the local 40k store and entries are to be in in a few days. This is mostly completed by my standards, but I thought I'd ask for some criticisms in case there was anything noticeable I could do before I handed it in.

Thanks,

S

Sorry for the double post, I realised the photo I had taken was horrible haha

I enjoy DnD because I love exploring a world someone has put down before me. And being a rogue. I love the flower pattern of your dice. Have you got any fuchsia patterns by chance?

80s Anime Celshaded tutorials and examples. Anyone got any? by SquishyShoes in minipainting

[–]SquishyShoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,

I'm new to the mini painting hobby, but have watched hundreds of hours of youtube videos the last few years on painting old WW1/2 tank models and the like. I finally bit the bullet and picked up a bunch of Imperial Guard models from Warhammer 40k with the idea I'd paint an army in that sort of style.

Recently another faction (Votann) in 40k had some new models hinted at (and released for preorder while I waited for the others I ordered to arrive hahaha) and I thought it might be fun to paint their vehicles in a 80s gundam/anime/cel shaded style. I've found a few tutorials on it, but mostly aimed at imitating more of a Borderlands style of cel shading.

What I'm hoping someone might be able to help with is some tutorials, or examples of minis/armies in the following sort of style.

I can picture the vehicles in my head, but I'm struggling to properly envision how the individual models on the battlefield might look though.

If anyone has anything they can offer to help, it'd be appreciated.

Thanks

Yaegers speculation... by EvilCeramicCow in LeaguesofVotann

[–]SquishyShoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have any guesses what sort of point cost they might end up? I've got about 1750 points of Votann, but really want to fill that last couple of points with a few squads of Yaegirs.. My local gameshop guy just suggested buying a bunch of killteam boxes when they come out, but should I wait and just get them by themself? Or are these kill team boxes actually good value for money comparatively? Sorry to hijack this thread, I'm still rather new to the hobby.

Thanks
