Long story short, I painted something with "cheap craft paint" like you find at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc (it was a PERFECT match and had the same amount of gloss so I wanted to use it) and it just doesn't seem to fully dry. It's a fairly glossy paint, and I did put 6 or so layers to cover (I thinned it a lot and it's quite translucent now) and while it's not as bad as "enamel over rubber" which will rub right off on your fingers even after months, it is still "tacky" after a couple weeks. It's not going to rub off, but it does lose its gloss after repeated handling, and kinda attracts dust etc. I can't figure out why some areas dried and some didn't, it doesn't seem directly related to what was underneath the paint. Stripping/repainting is NOT an option. I can either just leave it alone, or add something to it. Should I just let it dry for like, a year, and hope it'll fully harden some day? Could I put a clearcoat over it and hope the clearcoat dries hard? Would said clearcoat screw up the underlying layer?

Please post reviews/notes on the Mari fig, and how she compares to the previous Rei/Asuka figs.

'cept that, not a single person believes the laptop excuse for that particular incident.

The color used on the edges is unknown, even ARC's resident Raptor pilot doesn't know AFAIK. 36375 is the the most common one I've seen listed, I'd probably go with something warmer. 36440? 36307?

Why not just use a Care Bear?

Grace's VF-27 is unique, and has the same head as Brera's. The DX toy is correct for Grace's. Other green ones have the different head.

They skipped Grace! (and Cathy). (I still think the answer to Grace's is "variable")

Unsettling questions? I still want a good answer to "how does she change her appearance when meeting with Leon Mishima?" (has that ever been asked?)

Remko---aww, you should try to get Grace's green one! Green's better! (and has a better-looking pilot, too) http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/item-1000004910/

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but here's the live webcam for the Large Hadron Collider: http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html

They could make MP HotRod, and call it "cause of dead Prime".

Seconded. Hers was awesome.

The look of the Old Repubic is well-established by this point. If it doesn't look realistic, it won't look like the canon. Frankly, "the past" will never have to worry about aging. Old is old, classic is classic. It's "portraying the future" that has to worry about how it'll age.

First thing you gotta do is mod the instructions: (not mine, but so cool I had to post it)

Re: red Closest thing to Milia's in the real world:

"Soundtrack disconnect" seems more common lately in games of all type. Music may be GOOD, it just doesn't seem to be "correct". I still think FF9 has the best "song fits the situation" of any FF.

Just like Mass Effect! (I wonder if that was an intentional copy on Square's part) "Faster, and more western-style combat" is the current goal of many JRPG companies AFAIK, due to the relative sales of recent JRPG vs western ones. The actress is Australian, so she actually does, not merely "supposed to". The "weirdness" apparently comes from that she was instructed to try to sound "not so Australian" (and younger)----and what you get, is Vanille. This is what her normal voice/accent is: http://www.youtube.com/user/GeorgiaVC#p/u/6/JVc1JXTQDf8 (somewhat ironically, Fang's actress is American)

Ash, dust, etc.

Play nice.

He made Sovereign too: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/193819

I find it kind of ironic that my ruthless renegade---saved the entire crew (even Kelly) and was faithful.

Playable Liara would make it all worth it.

That's an old rumor, similar info was found out a while ago---they just didn't bother to extract the audio and put it on youtube. I currently have about 99% faith in it. Since the exact same stuff/info pointed to "DLC about a thief named Kasumi" when ME 2 first came out. "DLC with Liara and the Shadow broker" was found soon thereafter.

It better be Hrist! (though Lenneth would be fine too---I did pass on the DS game, despite being a huge VP/Lenneth fan--it just didn't sound like I'd like the GAME, though the story may have been good)
