Just saw this guy's Lego work today...pretty cool for Lego... http://www.flickr.com/photos/origin-of-the-brick/5714179649/in/photostream

So, what is airsoft anyway? Is it dangerous for players? Can one be hit by an airsoft pellet and survive? Is it less painful than being hit by a needler? Seriously though...if I did win that thing, I'd probably strip it down to the most basic components and see if I could fit it into a DMR. So...

Obviously release a news item about Jorge being alive and well living in a Florida retirement community somewhere in 2065.

I'll bite! Toss my name into the mix please if I'm not too late.

juliet76, Nice work on the AutoCAD drawings. I'd love to see them in their native format- do you share your dwg files ever? As someone mentioned earlier, if you ever need help with AutoCAD I'm an AutoCAD instructor, architect and also have been an Alpha and Beta AutoCAD testing site- and I've...

I've tried many times to connect with other 405th members on tinychat- but no one's ever there! Is there a specific time/day of the week when 405th members chat? I know it's unofficial...maybe there should be an official chat room someplace with moderators/bots online????

At which point is it ok to cut the visor opening out? I've got mind rondo'd and fiberglassed inside. I'm starting the shaping process by mostly sanding/scraping/dremeling off the pepakur and rondo (I've got two coats of rondo inside the pep, then a layer of fiberglass inside that). I'll be...

Well, I'm all fiberglassed inside the helmet now! I used fiberglass cloth by 3M, the package of 8 square feet, plus about 1/4 of another package. So, I probably have anywhere from one to four coats of actual cloth in various parts of the helmet. I tried to concentrate the cloth in the areas like...

Link to fiberglass tutorial video please? I'm going to fiberglass the inside of my helmet today. Based on what I've read I will: 1. Cut the fiberglass cloth up into about 5" squares 2. Mix about 4 oz of resin 3. Brush an area inside my helm 4. Lay a piece of cloth on it, then coat the cloth...

1. Rondo may actually take many days to cure. It may remain tacky inside a helmet for a day or more. Check daily for tackyness. Keep the helmet in a dry, warm place. Eventually the tackyness will go away and the outgassing will stop as well once it's fully cured. 2. Rondo's messy and drippy and...

@Hive: Yeah, I think you're right! Tonight my helm is no longer tacky...it's still outgassing though so I really don't want to try it on- besides, I have to grind/sand the opening up a bit to get my melon in! I've done a very sneaky thing. I put a camera tripod in front of my gas fireplace...and...

It's a weird kind of tacky. If you move your finger around on it, it feels dry...but if you just press, and lift up, it feels tacky. And, it'd definitely still outgassing. I'll just add a bit more hardener to the resin mix when I lay in my fiberglass cloth this weekend...hopefully that will...

Hive, you can find a body putty called "spot putty" or "Spot Filler" at any autobody supply store. It's a tube about the size of toothpaste that has about the same consistency as toothpaste. You don't need to mix any hardener with it, just smear it on with a spatula tool and then sand. It sands...

I rondo'd my helmet two days ago. The inside of the helmet feels a little bit sticky to the touch, but it seems hard- and the helmet is still outgassing. I added both Resin and liquid hardener and the Bondo hardener cream to the Rondo. Is this some kind of slower curing process that normally...
