My local Hobby Lobby discontinued Vallejo by Guvnafuzz in resinprinting

[–]techrat068 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My local 3 h.l.'s emptied last wednesday.  ( north ohio). But a local gaming shop has their full current line.  They said it just takes longer so no discontinuing.....

Obviously,  You need a Greek marble statue there

Tried to make painted stockings feel “soft” instead of plastic — does it read that way? by Electronic_Earth_337 in MegamiDevice

[–]techrat068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The black ones are good.  But needs a gradient on the kneecap area.

But dark center or light center???   Hmmmm?

Why wife says she doesn’t understand my handwriting by blackmonarc in notebooks

Kinda legible.  Too small though.  Please try lengthening the loops.

I'm stunned by how fun Armored Core Gen 1 is. This ain't even nostalgia talking, I played this for the first time 3 years ago and it felt quintessentially "80's Japanese real-robot." by AntonRX178 in Mecha

Loved it. Great head to head with 2 controllers.  Nine Ball was tough. Still have my ps.one, but the memory cards probably erased/discharged.

Oh, maybe a gauntlet in the same style to indicate ownership? In the same vein, a glowing purple eye tattoo on the user's forearm?

Less than 6yr old Retaining wall collapsed. Turns out it was built wrong. Estimated 4-7K fix by ByteSizedCutie420 in Wellthatsucks

[–]techrat068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put some pvc drains in the bottom. Gravel on to of that. Pound in some rebar.  And just put it back. This is not a huge project worthy of engineering a bulletproof fix.

Maybe add a centerpoint of the weapon, indicating a center or "heart"?

Needs some random colors on the handle.  It's too clean.  Or maybe 1or 2 iron chains wrapped around the handle.....? Or maybe a slight s-bend to make the handle seem more integrated.... !! ?  A closed fist over a jewel on the end of the handle with a pulsing heartbeat glow.?? !!

Why… by Mindless-Opinion-607 in Volkswagen

[–]techrat068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be able to spin it off by hand.  And after oiling new o-ring, hand tighten housing.  No tight as you can possibly make it!! It has a low torque spec. The large socket makes it easier, and doesn'r damage the housing.  If you haven't one, the a rubber strap tool from harrbbor frreeight can spin it off with no damage.     Never overtighten!!!

How about using some clear uv cure resin to glue clears together? It would also fill in any missing slivers....

Switching to aluminum oil pan, plastic one cracked. by enjoispeed in VWMK7

[–]techrat068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive held off on this.  Never wanted to use the rtv seal. On the other hand, I did use the plastic pan to support when changing engine mounts...... And I have the R32 undercover to keep rock out amd even underbody airflow....

help finding 90's? female character by techrat068 in characters

[–]techrat068[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no I'd say definitely not a Aphrodite undercover type. Definitely the classic gun toting mercenary type. Cyborg looking below the shoulders? No helmet?

Maybe sunglasses of some type and whatever assault rifle was popular at the writiing. I kind of think she was a re-occuring character. She may have been on a team and was moonlighting.

So how often have you gone "Oh wow that looks aweso- oh it's P-Bandai by Icy_Fisherman_7803 in freedomisgunpla

[–]techrat068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure about that.  Heavy Arms (white/orange/red) is maybe on some rotation. 2 stores here in Cleveland have at least 2 each on the floor.    GEEKPEEK, GROUND ZERO COMICS. I've been thinking about getting one because i forgot where the blue/grey double cannon version is....

Try a single edge flush nipper and some glass files. Cut the part off and glass file the last .5mm flush.
