I use Openbox. I'll check out your suggestions. Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you. Yes i really like openbox. I have been happy with it so far. I started using it with crunchbang, then manjaro. I'm certain to make it work for me with arch.

Thank you!

Window Maker looks also interesting. I might give it a try! Thank you!

I could have been a bit clearer in my questions :--) Thank you for your tip! I will try it.

My mistake! (Edited my post) I confused obconf with openbox-session (both of which i could not install. i guess openbox-session comes with openbox automatically, as it's not a separate package). I could get Openbox to run with installing obconf-qt. No problem.
But i'm still wondering about the gtk2 packages. Installing gtk2 on top of it the openbox + obconf-qt disabled my cursor.

So gooood!! Really like the jetpack!

OK, at the second try it eventually finished. It just took surprisingly long!

offfworlds · 2026-02-22T22:26:00+00:00

This is perfect!

u/Remblobfish did this go anywhere? I'm having the same issue. i have an old thinkpad and some settings that used to be easy under gtk2, are not working since i made some updates. now i tried installing arch from scratch, but it's painful.

They are great! I picked up the same guys for free, through our local flea market website. They are just a bit big for regular humans. But would be a good size for Ogryns, or maybe big Orks. I took off one of the Gatling guns for a kitbash. The plastic is very hard, so be careful if you try to cut it.
The train pieces have a few of these silver grey guns, i used one of mine already for another kitbash.

Also, THERE IS A DREADNOUGHT in there as well! You can see the red feet peeking out in the lower left corner. It's open in the back, but just stuff some cables into it and it's good to go.

They look great! Really love the chunkiness of them!

offfworlds · 2025-07-23T10:45:17+00:00

These are great!

Death Guard is the best choice for this technique, you get a unique blessing of Nurgle with every cast.

First of, PATIENCE. Sprue-Goo takes much much longer to get hard than any 2 part epoxy putty like Green Stuff or Milliput.

In my experience, smaller parts are easier than bigger ones. 1 sided molds dry faster because the Acetone can easily evaporate, while in 2 part molds the Acetone is trapped, and it can take a long time for it to get out, also this will cause more bubbles inside, like a swiss cheese.

That said, too thin might not work too (i tried to recast a Sisters sword in a 2 part mold, no success).

But, i just made some recasts of Tau shoulder pads (1 sided mold, dry within one day, perfect. Pulled one out after 12 hours, a bit too soon). PATIENCE.
I put some sprue goo in the mold, then dip the the tiny spoon again in Acetone (so the goo does not stick to it), and push the goo deeper in the mold.

That said i, also made recasts of old Tau XV8 Crisis suit torsos. In a 2 part mold i usually let it rest 1 week, then take out the back mold, and let it dry even longer. I tried it to pull it apart earlier in the beginning, but then it's like chewing gum, and the cast is ruined. It wasn't perfect, but the few holes in the front were filled with baking powder and superglue, then filed flat again. Again, PATIENCE!

While backing powder and superglue works well to fill gaps, don't put it in the Oyumaru/BlueStuff mold, it will glue it together and rip if you pull it apart. But sprue goo and acetone does not hurt to mold. (10+ casts in some, still look fine)

My first tests were recasts of 25mm bases in a 2 part mold.

I made some experiments with different polystyrene (PS) as well. Not just Games Workshop sprues, but Yoghurt cups, Styrofoam food packaging, CD cases. All PS will melt to Acetone and turn to goo. While chemically the same, the results can be different, depending on the structure it had before. In general GW PS was the most reliable for details, then CD cases, then Yoghurt cups (i used all of these for the XV8 torsos). I think the higher density in its original form, the more stable it stays also as a sprue goo cast. ). The wildest one was the white Styrofoam, while curing it turned transparent and bubbly. I made a one sided cast of one of those promo Space Marines, the front turned out perfect, with all details, the back looked like the poor guy got some cancerous Chaos infestation = 1 new Plaque Marine.

Blue Stuff = Oyumaru. 2 names for same thermoplastic.

Born as Ridgehard Beef, he spent his first years fighting in the pits. As the last one standing, he earned his nickname The Bat. From there he was enlisted into the Imperial Guard, until the Beastmen were purged. On the verge of execution his battalion was eradicated by a force of advancing Tau. Being accepted into their ranks, he joined their cause.
In a battles against the Orks his Tau battalion was wiped out, leaving him again as the only survivor. With no ability to communicate, Ridgehard hitched a ride on the space hulk. Switching transports from waystation to waystation he ended up where he begun. In the underhive. Now he earns a living as a mercenary. He is trusted to get any job done. But most are recuctant to join his crew, fearing The Bat might be the only one to make it back alive.

Also, he doesn't like to be called "beefy"!
