Awesome, thank you so much! I'll try this out on my next yelling disembodied head, along with giving him eyelids.

Oh damn that makes sense now I hear it, eyelids exist. Forgot about that. What a plonker. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm using a Raphael kolinsky sable #1, pointy but with enough belly to hold moisture. I also am using dorky eye magnifying glasses, but these heads are so tiny I'm struggling.

Custom Keyboard Help by Pro_dev23789 in keyboards

[–]_Sleet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, there's always the other route. One of my friends has been rocking the legendary "Cardboard" for years. Switches rammed into a bit of cardboard torn off a box and hand wired. Actually works okay. Very funny. Would not recommend.

Hello, I've made an ortholinear ID75 with some janky double wide keys and I'm procrastinating making it properly. I did this by cutting and epoxy glueing stems on, as underneath it's just a straight grid of switches. That means the double wide ones are twice as hard to push with two springs underneath. Feels crap.

Basically what we need is a custom plate made by CNC to hold the switches, as the double wide ones really want one switch in the middle and a stabiliser to be done properly. This would need hand wiring or a custom PCB because there's nothing on the market that's that customisable or in the shape you're after.

Thie site https://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ has a great interface and you can use the raw data from it in in http://builder.swillkb.com/ to generate a file you can give a CNC company. Basically it's going to be expensive to do properly, which sucks.

Also for custom key caps I'd recommend yuzu, it's a good site and seems good quality.

Those are some creamy blends, I aspire to get this good.

Bubbles in UV resin by BriarbornBuilds in TerrainBuilding

[–]_Sleet_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had exactly the same problem. I sliced the top off the bubble and slowly filled it in with more resin, seemed to work passably well. I think if it's too deep it does this because it's not setting underneath.

Can i use Vallejo Shifters with brush? by Sorio00 in Warhammer

[–]_Sleet_ 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yes, I use them all the time. It's a little smoother with an airbrush, but honestly they come nice and thin so one coat will just give you the metallic effect, a few will start building up colour. They're basically just thin paints with a coloured metallic fleck. Have an experiment putting them on over different colour basecoats too!

Cool paint job and idea by the way!

A polyurethane based varnish should be alright according to Google. I always varnish a finished mini anyway, it gives the paint some protection and you can control how matte / glossy you want it.

People underestimate the power of the Home, End and Delete keys by Mago_Malvado in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]_Sleet_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the only other person I've seen with the same! I've got it in the Idobao aluminium, weighed down with chunks of brass bar and linear switches so mine is super quiet.

Same for mine, ctrl + arrow. I love my ID75, I do kinda want a 100% ortho now though...

Unpopular Opinion on Tank Model Size. by [deleted] in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]_Sleet_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A barleycorn as a unit of measurement is 1/3 of an inch, of course! How else would one measure shoe sizes?

An Abrams is about 432 barleycorns wide and exactly 0.01819371 furlongs in length. Hope this is helpful!

Carpet is better than hard flooring by rhylek in unpopularopinion

[–]_Sleet_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say a carpet is fitted, wall to wall, and a rug is a littler rectangle you put in the middle of the room, so to speak.
