| 17:22 | < Mantisking> | Hello? |
| 17:42 | < JPRoth1980> | Howdy. |
| 17:44 | < JPRoth1980> | By the by, thanks for the welcome to the Hangar, Mantisking. |
| 17:46 | < Mantisking> | You're welcome. |
| 17:46 | < JPRoth1980> | So what's up? |
| 17:50 | < Mantisking> | Not much, just trying to make it through the workday. |
| 17:52 | < JPRoth1980> | You and me both. Going to try to build a bug tonight and frustrate myself looking for a part that I know exists but can't find. |
| 18:07 | < Mantisking> | I have to work on a blog post tonight. Hopefully I can sneak in a few extra pictures of stuff I built recently along with the ones for the blog. |
| 18:09 | < JPRoth1980> | Very nice. I see three issues with my design, aside from having to use off-color parts to check feasibility. It's going to be somewhat large for MFZ, but not overmuch so--about 1.5 Scramblers long and a little taller. |
| 18:09 | < JPRoth1980> | I want to have the body be 3 studs wide, which will be a pain since other parts need to be 2 or 6-wide and centered. |
| 18:10 | < JPRoth1980> | And I have to figure out what the hell that hinge piece is called! |
| 18:11 | < Mantisking> | What does it look like? |
| 18:22 | < JPRoth1980> | At the moment, something of a large scorpion. |
| 18:22 | < JPRoth1980> | Oh, the hinge. Sorry, brain not working. |
| 18:23 | < JPRoth1980> | It's a 1x1 round bit that connects in the middle. |
| 18:24 | < Mantisking> | Do you mean the 2x2 plate with the 2x2 round spinning plate? |
| 18:27 | < JPRoth1980> | Not at all. |
| 18:28 | < JPRoth1980> | Oh. I think I found what it is. 61903. |
| 18:30 | < Mantisking> | Oh, the Universal Joint. They're pretty floppy. |
| 18:32 | < JPRoth1980> | Yeah, there is that. Just hard to articulate a thin tail otherwise, I think. |
| 18:34 | < JPRoth1980> | Wait. I found the piece I was looking for. |
| 18:35 | < JPRoth1980> | Well, found it in use. Still no clue what it is. |
| 18:36 | < JPRoth1980> | pinlac.com/LegoScorpionKing.html |
| 18:42 | < JPRoth1980> | The tail bits. |
| 18:44 | < Mantisking> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30554b |
| 18:46 | < JPRoth1980> | And of course I looked at it, went "nah, that can't be it," and moved on. |
| 18:57 | < Mantisking> | Ain't that always the way? |
| 18:58 | < JPRoth1980> | Seems like. Oh well. I'm sure I'll manage. |
| 19:29 | < Mantisking> | So are you enjoying your Hangar experience? |
| 19:43 | < JPRoth1980> | Thus far, although it tends to fill me with envy. And also ideas. |
| 19:45 | < Mantisking> | Looking at other people's stuff and going "Daaaaaaaamn"? |
| 19:47 | < JPRoth1980> | More or less. Although sometimes I got "what" instead. |
| 20:08 | < Mantisking> | Or "How the hell did they do that?" |
| 20:09 | < JPRoth1980> | How, and very occasionally, why. ;) |
| 20:23 | < JPRoth1980> | I admit that my preferred aesthetic is very utilitarian. I don't get the more "anime" designs, which I know is a faulty term, but still. |
| 20:31 | < Mantisking> | I'm not sure I have an aesthetic. |
| 20:34 | < JPRoth1980> | From your work, I'm not sure you do, either. But to be fair, I have only designed a single frame and it was largely a ripoff of other designs. |
| 20:59 | < Mantisking> | At least neither of us can be pigeon-holed just yet. :-) |
| 21:38 | < JPRoth1980> | Give it a bit. I plan on doing more Kaiju than frames. |
