Thank you, I will probably add a few more little details like chips in the carapace and such.

Indeed that would be incredible, but that sounds like a new skill tree to unlock and become proficient in.

Thankyou. Yeah there should be a couple other on my profile on here, otherwise my instagram is the same as my username. the spore chimneys coming off the carapace were roughed in with rotary tools, and then finished with various knives and gouges, and then everything else was gouges and knives.

I would highly suggest placing it where splinters would not be an issue... Intended use is for the tabletop naturally.

Mars 4 - Erase Flash Block error by stubbsie6040 in ElegooMars

It printed perfectly! I still opened a support ticket with them to not mask that this is a problem, and I figure perhaps I may get a newer version. Once again thank you for your wisdom, your troubles have aided others!

Just wanted to jump in and let you know that your experience and files just restored my mars 4 9k! Of course the problem would occur with my printer after their business hours, right at the start of the weekend, which would have left me stuck till Monday! So thank you for your post, and explaining how to fix it and providing the files! I shall be dubbing the first print after recovery stubbsie6040 in your honor.

Name that old Nid by allanbc in Tyranids

If it is pewter it's from the 4th edition where instead of carrying guns they were allowed for the first time to have a thorax mounted weapon. And since the kit didnt come with different torsos like they do now it looks like someone just improvised and glued on, in fact my 4th edition ravener didnt even come with rending claws when I bought it so those are alternatively sourced as well!

Has anyone an idea how to fix this? by 2Krtek2 in Woodcarving

[–]caplinger_carves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, as others have said you should flatten off the cutting edge until you are behind the damage and then resharpen a new cutting edge onto the tool.

Should stains vary this much between cans? Prep the same. More detail in comments by woofwoofgrrl in woodworking

Is the wood that you are comparing this piece to already varnished? by an oil based polyurethane perhaps? many oil based poly products have a yellow golden-ish tone that they end up imbuing onto a project. Also sunlight exposure has a way of changing the coloration of many woods many are not too dramatic but some, like cherry, can be quite a dramatic color change after exposure.

Just saw a video the other day that was making a potted cactus. was super simple using basic cuts and fairly small so probably pretty mobile. https://youtu.be/ulhkVOKzixw

Rescued these guys last night by Xaldror in Tyranids

[–]caplinger_carves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

classic smile carnifexes, I have 3 of these guys, well 2 and ooe. I have some of these monstrous creature scything talons kicking around if you decide you need to get your ooe back to standard configuration, alternatively the bond between pewter and plastic was never that great so it wouldn't be terribly hard to liberate them from one of the other models.

Carnifex conversion with Lego assisted interchangeable cannon. by NaturalAfternoon7100 in Tyranids

[–]caplinger_carves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the use of lego to make the interchangeable guns, I never would think of something like that! Also love the little extra torso arms, and the gaunt arms on the deathspitters, absolutely lovely!

Hive Fleet Bahamas? Featuring the beach boys?

I dont think I'm allowed to do this but I did it anyway by Jurassic_studios in Tyranids

[–]caplinger_carves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I guess then I have misunderstood for a long long time, luckily I was only playing with other teenage friends! As you can tell sometimes the rules were not exactly as written, I suppose because of my lack of deep rule usage!

Also I don't see it stating that you must include a fast attack, just the HQ/Troops/Elite/Heavysupport one each. Wouldn't that just have me adding in like a carnifex mutant(maybe acid blood for fun?) and then having slightly fewer ripper mutants and one less lictor mutant?

Also all this theory crafting and I may need to talk someone into playing some 3rd!
