  2. SEEKING HELP

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Ok, I will admit that our health care system needs some help, but socialized pet care? That is just rediculous. If I want to help someone take care of their pet that should be my choice, not mandated by the government.

    I'll take a set of belt clips. Let me know a PP total and I'll send the money out right away and you can just send me the clips whenever you get the time.

     

    Scratch that. I'll take a whole Detonater kit.

     

    and I've got a partially completed ATA helmet that could use some ears, the mouth and vocoder painted and some mic tips installed... I'd be more than happy to let you finish it for me to help out the pup.

  5. Full size profile pics possible?

    Personally, I think there is already too much going on over there. Most of the time, the posters Info/picture on the left had side is longer than what they post and it makes for lots of extra scrolling when trying to get to the bottom of a post.

     

    I'd also love the ability to disable signatures, I prefer my forums stripped down to the basics, but I'm weird like that.

  7. Screen accurate vs 'reality' accurate

    I thought about this a lot the first time I read through all the CRL's. Before I really read them I thought I would go for Centurion for sure, now I doubt I'll even go for EIB.

     

    Unused snaps?

    Elastic to hold down parts?

    Cheap cruddy black chemical gloves?

    Unused rivets and snaps?

     

    While those details make it more screen accurate, to me they take away from the believability. That's a word, right? When i set them next to each other, I much prefer the look of the Master Replicas helmet to any of the Screen derived ones. It's symmetrical, there are no funny gaps in the ears, the brow is level... things I would expect out of a massed produced helmet designed for protection/function in combat, not a hastily thrown together prop. I won't go as far as saying the movies are ruined for me, but seeing all the high-res screen captures showing all the details of the suits really damages my suspension of disbelief and I don't really see them as Stormtroopers... more like actors in stormtrooper costumes.

  19. Rebuilt Sterling L2A3

    For that kind of money I'd buy one of the functioning Sterlings from SOG or Century with a 16" barrel for less than 400 and deactivate it myself or pay Uncle Sam the $200 sin tax and cut the barrel down to the proper length.

     

    In thier last Dealer Flyer, Southern Ohio Gun had the 16" Sterlings with functioning underfolder for $369. That and one of these forms http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5320-1.pdf filled out with a $200 check and some time and you've got the real thing. Just make sure you get the stamp back before you cut your barrel down.

  25. Any tips on how to de-smoke a helmet?

    ABS really likes to soak up smells.

     

    On the rare occasion I get some used LEGO(also made out of ABS) pieces that are smokey a nice warm soapy bath with a mild detergent usually does the trick. Dawn ODOR eraser works great for this.

    For the especially nasty ones a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution works, just make sure to get white vinegar, apple or any other vinegar with any color to it will likely stain your helmet.
