| 00:46 | < Grass4hopper> | 'Ello? |
| 00:50 | < FlakManiak> | Hey. |
| 00:52 | < Grass4hopper> | what's going on? |
| 00:52 | < FlakManiak> | Well, programming homework. I was gonna photo some new builds but that seems like it should wait until spring break. |
| 00:53 | < FlakManiak> | Got four new companies, three of which are Chublikes and the fourth of which is my usual chassis (like on my black and white guys). |
| 00:54 | < Grass4hopper> | Nice. |
| 00:55 | < FlakManiak> | It's still a secret from the internet, but the gimmick for the new guys in my usual chassis is that they have capes. |
| 00:55 | < Grass4hopper> | I need to hit Bricklink to order what I need to finish my company. |
| 00:55 | < Grass4hopper> | Capes are always in fashion |
| 00:56 | < FlakManiak> | Also, that one-off I kept rambling about is built and I figured out the flight stand and everything. Well, okay, it's fallen apart a couple times since being built and it's in pieces at the moment, but getting knocked over does that. It's called the Dragon Tyrant, and folks will see why once I post it. |
| 00:56 | < FlakManiak> | I think gatlinggouf will appreciate it. |
| 00:57 | < FlakManiak> | Have you got just the one company? |
| 00:57 | < Grass4hopper> | Actually I have parts for one company, but don't have anything built at the moment. |
| 00:58 | < Grass4hopper> | I have the problem of endlesly revising the designs, and never actually finishing one |
| 00:58 | < Grass4hopper> | But I have this new shoulder design, that works so well I'm gonna build a whole company using it |
| 00:58 | < Grass4hopper> | brb |
| 01:00 | < Grass4hopper> | imb |
| 01:02 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. I tend to end up with my first drafts being the final product most of the time. I mean, aside from equipment. But usually I design a chassis and then when it's in a reasonably finished state that's it. |
| 01:02 | < Grass4hopper> | The shoulder is mainly made from http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=85961pb01 |
| 01:02 | < FlakManiak> | So do you have something going through? |
| 01:02 | < FlakManiak> | With the arm coming out of the neck hole? |
| 01:03 | < FlakManiak> | Or does the piece sit on top of a shoulder armature, as a kind of shoulderplate? |
| 01:05 | < Grass4hopper> | it goes side ways over a chub shoulder with some minot modifications |
| 01:05 | < Grass4hopper> | I add one of those white 1 x 1 round plates with the hole in the center on the inside |
| 01:05 | < FlakManiak> | I'd like to see that, because I can't picture quite how it fits. |
| 01:06 | < Grass4hopper> | let me back up |
| 01:06 | < Grass4hopper> | So you have the clip which connects to the lampholder |
| 01:06 | < FlakManiak> | Clip which connects to the lampholder? You mean the mechanical claw thing? |
| 01:07 | < FlakManiak> | (That is attached to a tap in the torso) |
| 01:07 | < Grass4hopper> | exacgtly |
| 01:07 | < Grass4hopper> | sorry, kind of tired, not very articulate at the moment |
| 01:08 | < FlakManiak> | And so where normally you'd do 1x1 plate + 1x1 tile attached to the outer end of the lamp holder, instead you have some other parts, then this armor piece? |
| 01:08 | < Grass4hopper> | exactly, and . . . |
| 01:09 | < FlakManiak> | Okay, question: Just how wide are these shoulders? Also, does the armor piece not hang over the stud on the lamp holder's 1x1 plate? |
| 01:09 | < Grass4hopper> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=42446 |
| 01:10 | < Grass4hopper> | that part attached to the 1 x 1 round with hole on the inside of the lamp holder. |
| 01:10 | < Grass4hopper> | It looks pretty cool, and you have a nice hard point to attach SSRs or other systems |
| 01:11 | < Grass4hopper> | They're as wide as the armor piece is tall when normally orientated |
| 01:13 | < Grass4hopper> | and yes, that's why I have to use the 1 x 1 round plate with hole to push them further out to the connect to the bar part of the mechanical claw |
| 01:13 | < FlakManiak> | So the order of parts is claw, lamp holder, then 1x1 round with hole, then neck bracket, then armor thing? |
| 01:15 | < Grass4hopper> | no, claw, neck bracket, 1 x 1 round with hole, lamp holder, 1 x 1 round plate, then armor thing |
| 01:16 | < FlakManiak> | I'll have to see a picture of this. I can sort of imagine it. |
| 01:17 | < Grass4hopper> | I'll post one as soon as I can. |
| 01:17 | < Grass4hopper> | I'm on my friends laptop, so I don't have access to my LDD files |
| 01:17 | < FlakManiak> | Cool. |
| 01:20 | < Grass4hopper> | The bonus to the shoulders being so big is that I can use some of my larger head design, and everything still looks in proportion |
| 01:21 | < FlakManiak> | Do you use normal Chub limbs, or some kind of Super Chub limbs? |
| 01:21 | < Grass4hopper> | normal |
| 01:22 | < FlakManiak> | And the limbs still look reasonably in proportion? |
| 01:22 | < Grass4hopper> | to me they look fine |
| 01:22 | < Grass4hopper> | plus my legs use the T-piece so they're slightly taller |
| 01:23 | < Grass4hopper> | but I could be to close to my creation : ) |
| 01:24 | < FlakManiak> | Oh so the legs have articulated knees? |
| 01:24 | < Grass4hopper> | no, articulated ankles |
| 01:31 | < Grass4hopper> | hold on, got to reset IE |

| 01:34 | < FlakManiak> | Two of ya! |
| 01:35 | < Grass4hopper_> | maybe I'm just old and cranky, but I rather hate Windows 8 |
| 01:36 | < FlakManiak> | Thankfully I'm still on 7. |
| 01:36 | < FlakManiak> | And if I weren't a slave to DirectX games and such I'd switch to Ubuntu or something. |
| 01:37 | < Grass4hopper_> | Yeah, my home desktop is 7 and I love it |
| 01:38 | < FlakManiak> | So are they XVM-style ankles? |
| 01:38 | < Grass4hopper_> | Let me look that up real quick |
| 01:40 | < FlakManiak> | Or are they the design from, uh, gouf's flying guys, with 1x2 plate, two clip tiles, T-piece, other stuff? |
| 01:41 | < Grass4hopper_> | they're like goufs |
| 01:52 | < FlakManiak> | We need this chat to be more active. If it can hit critical mass it can probably sustain itself. So I'm going to just stay in here and check back from time to time. |
| 01:54 | < Grass4hopper_> | I have still need to get new internet at my apartment, but once I do I plan to be on more too. |
| 01:55 | < Grass4hopper_> | BTW I just saw this new part http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=15071 this is going to open up so many new gun options |
| 01:56 | < FlakManiak> | ...Damn, that is an amazing part. |
| 01:57 | < FlakManiak> | I wasn't really into the Mixels joints but that part will be awesome. |
| 02:00 | < Grass4hopper_> | I recently bought this set http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=70126-1 |
| 02:01 | < Grass4hopper_> | I think those front teeth could make great knee armor |
| 02:02 | < Grass4hopper_> | Once I found out that Mixel ball joints did not make a tight connection with older socket joints I got dissapointed |
| 02:04 | < Grass4hopper_> | I have to log off, chat with you later |
