    405th Pepakura File Reviews

    Pull the 5 top spikes together with a strip of cardstock (helps reinforce it, too) before you resin. You can see in the picture I posted above how that area is a fair bit wider than the computer model. It's a magic little trick that pops the whole thing into shape. At least it worked for me.

    Cool Factor

    what if you got an old vr hmd like the vfx-1, and infrared nightvision cameras. You'd have to build something around that setup to fit and it would be really scary and dizzying to use (because of perspective/parallax problems) http://www.mindflux.com.au/products/iis/vfx1.html where you will...

    405th Pepakura File Reviews

    I too have just put together "Agbates - Hayabusa Helmet.pdo", the file from the wiki. Easy and straightforward if you just work one or two pages at a time; I had it together in two days with a couple of hours each day (working in front of the computer for reference, which probably helps a lot)...

    Inaugural Parade

    oh cool! I used to do band, but I played marimba, we didn't march, and we never did any parades. just competitions. I go to U of Cincinnati and was in their band for 2 years, but it's just not the same. I played drumset and I had to push this contraption around on a huge cart. But we got to play...

    How Crafty Are You?

    Hehe I used to love the R/C models... I have a traxxas nitro rustler (it must be 8+ years old now) that I pull out on occasion. A pain to start,, but once it goes, MAN does it go :D I collect old "big iron"... dec, silicon graphics, sun, cray... every time my parents get the power bill they...

    Please Help Me In My Quest!

    well why not go to some random forum you've never heard of and spam there? I hope you're successful and all that but spamming is not looked to kindly upon... here or pretty much anywhere else. I've been here for over a year. Just the armor building is taking the back seat right now. Got too...

    My Compy Sux!

    stop using vista. I hope that's not a laptop, wuzzaat like a 24 inch screen?! The Intel 945 is a pretty good stable chipset. If you want to do 3d stuff (ie games) get a nvidia quadro or ati radeon, they are pretty cheap. I've got a quadro fx1000 that I picked up on ebay for $40. Maya BEAST :)...

    Christmas List!

    I would like a psp so I can listen to internet radio on the go. But I'll probably buy it myself with christmas cash. I love getting cash, it's so much more useful than socks or a back massaging machine. I'll be getting my dad a new wifi router as ours crapped out some time ago and he's about to...

    New Toy

    don't worry, it's been done. http://home.planet.nl/~mourits/koelkast/ the links at the bottom of the page are pretty interesting... keep in mind the rOctane and espressigo among others were made by sgi as marketing toys. I've got a pair of "challenge network resource server" gym shorts. My...

    New Toy

    I'll get more, it can go up to 2gig max. First I need to get 220V service run so I can start the graphics subsystem. Which probably isn't going to happen until my time off over winter break. Irix 6.5 is quite usable with 256 megs of ram, although for quake3arena I'd like 512 or so. Keep in mind...

    Crap... My Car Is, To Put It Lightly, Not Working.

    Did you put some gas in it :D seriously, if it''s low put some in. My dad's suburban ran low and I parked it on a hill such that the line from the tank wasn't submerged. wouldn't start. Got a portable tank and had to crank for a good long time, when it went it threw up a cloud big enough to...

    Help Me With My Xmas Problem

    CPI is down about 1% whereas salaries have remained pretty much constant. Yes jobs are being cut, though obviously if you've lost your job that puts you pretty much out of the question. Stay in demand and you won't have to worry about a thing. I'm a drummer, but if I was laid off I could go...
