The MW Automotive Thread 5.0 GT
David Hingtgen replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The "factory crossover" was a resistor on the tweeter housing. As for "why glue"----nowhere to screw in onto. As I mentioned----no flat surfaces really, all curves. I don't want it "exposed to the elements" so it needs to be inside the vapor barrier sheet, not outside on the sheet metal. -
The MW Automotive Thread 5.0 GT
David Hingtgen replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Car audio question: Googling has been no help, and I've tried everything. After replacing the blown stock speakers, mounting the crossovers has been a pain.(as there was no crossover in the factory setup). Nothing lasts more than 3-6 months before I hear it rattling around inside the door panel. The latest mounting attempt was plastic epoxy. (this stuff: http://www.autohausaz.com/search/product.aspx?partnumber=1363118&utm_source=google&utm_medium=nonpaid&utm_campaign=frooglePN&utm_term=1363118&gclid=CNCEk_b2gcYCFdQ8gQod9IoAqA) (and I let it cure like 2 days before putting the door panels back on, and was super-paranoid about being rough with the doors for a week after) The backside of the door panel is smooth, and dish-bowl curved--I'm trying to mount it in the arm-rest area. There's basically no flat surface area in any spot/angle I can find, I'm always just "gluing the edges" of the crossover to something, with little surface area making contact. Short of drilling holes and bolting it on through the interior (not an option!), any suggestions? Just had a thought-----gluing "mounts" to fairly flat areas where they may actually get a grip, and zip-tieing through those mounts? I'm thinking I may start just measuring every spot I can find, to see if there's anywhere it will "just barely" fit that I may have missed, while keeping clearance for the window mechanism etc. Door panel is made from "unglueable/unpaintable" plastic I think---all the components are welded together. Anyone ever tried like using a soldering iron to try to "melt-weld" stuff like that? I don't care how ugly it'd be, it'll never be seen, totally willing to ruin the crossover's housing. -
Do you prefer TV or DYRL paint scheme?
David Hingtgen replied to potatotomato's topic in Movies and TV Series
I've just gotta repost this: That looks so much better (and Milia-esque) than the "coral-red and pale grey" you usually see. Always wondered if somehow M7's VF-22's had coloring errors when being animated, and they were always intended to be "traditional" M&M blue and red, and not the "pastel" versions we got. -
Not close enough, unless you can build up a full 1 or 2mm thickness.

I know I posted about it at TFW, did I forget to here? But anways, short version: Apatosaurus excelsus, is now Brontosaurus excelsus (again). Apatosaurus louisae and Apatosaurus ajax, are still Apatosaurus. Considering that A.lousiae is the "odd one out" to me, visually---that seems odd. But I'm not an expert.

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
David Hingtgen replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If 4/5/6 were very good, it might almost be worth like 20 bucks. But really, to me, MM kinda goes like: MM2, MM3, X, X4, and then "other stuff". Those are the "core 4" awesome Megaman games.- 7014 replies

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread

Annoyingly, it looks like "1 more mm" of plastic or space almost anywhere, would have allowed it to be secured somehow. Or even just a slight reshaping of the opening, to match the hilt's cross-section.

Just got Gouf Custom---are the inactivated blades supposed to just "sit loosely" in the shields? They don't clip/tab in at all, I fear them just falling right out in many poses.

David Hingtgen replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Anyone want CW Cyclonus? Purple is so wrong I don't want him----never even been transformed. (I decided to sell him about 10 secs after I crushed the packaging to throw it away...) I am becoming less enthralled with CW by the minute----decided Wildrider and Cyclonus weren't good enough to keep, will probably sell Breakdown too. Dragstrip is the only good one so far IMHO. Aerialbots are "ok+".- 17739 replies

At this point, skip Battle 7 and do Battle Frontier or Battle Galaxy.

I am very much hoping for a Bandai VF-22 etc. I have little faith in Arcadia at the moment---the YF-19 may be my first and last purchase from them.

David Hingtgen replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Anyone want my CW Wildrider? I intentionally passed on the Dead End version of the mold, waiting for this one----and he just doesn't make a good leg. Almost all my CW limbs are "arms" at this point, I really need more/better legs! And he's only a decent arm, not a good one. So I really have no use for him, as I am absolutely not completing a CW Menasor (cuz Motormaster sucks). I've already nail-polished the heck out of his hips and hand-foot connector, so they are tight and can certainly hold up weapons/poses very well as an arm now. I did that before his first transformation, and only after trying out arm and leg modes did I realize I didn't really like him.- 17739 replies

DX Chogokin VF-27ß Lucifer Mass Production and Grace Custom
David Hingtgen replied to IXTL's topic in Toys
That's just a Brera repainted and decaled, not an actual "molded in green" one. We still don't know the final colors/markings etc. (you can even see the magenta plastic where the paint's rubbed off)- 616 replies

While gloss white landing gear is canon for most valks and real planes, those on French-built planes are often painted silver, so there is some precedent. (Go look at a Mirage, Airbus, or the Concorde)

Does the Wing Zero Honoo Custom have the coolest art ever? I think so. (The standard Honoo art is pretty cool, but this box art for the Custom parts is even better) High-res with no crease/watermark: http://www.theanimegallery.com/gallery/image:196383

The aviary scene is a scene they didn't have the time/budget for in the first movie----it's from the first book. As is the river-raft scene. The third movie is basically the bits from the first book they couldn't fit in. 1st movie+3rd movie=1st book+Spinosaurus.

The MW Automotive Thread 5.0 GT
David Hingtgen replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I always ascribe situations like this, to overall height vs torso height. Two people of the same height, could have different torso vs leg length. Also---I know of very few people 6ft plus who think the Camaro has anything close to "more than enough" room.
