Hadn't come across that before. I know they did spinning drum backdrops for the Anderson puppet shows, but that was usually a flat painting on a vertical drum and designed to cover only a window in a vehicle, or something. Interesting.

Please don't misinterpret me as being in any way pro gun ownership. I'm pro laws that make sense, which things like section 36 of the VCRA and (for instance) the proposed US "assault weapons" ban don't. At risk of turning this into a political discussion, the second amendment to the US...

I am constantly alarmed by the amount of legal advice that's given out on sites like this. The first thing I want to say is that anyone contemplating owning something that looks anything even remotely like a gun should be extremely cautious about the law, and do their own research. That said...

The display looks like an OLED, the sort of thing you'd find in a car radio, or an LCD with a blue EL backlight. Either would be similar enough for television. The lettering "HIGH EX" is seven pixels high and the suggestion elsewhere that it's a 144 by 32 pixel display is not unreasonable...

Oh, but by the way... Is there anyone here who doesn't want a pet drone? OK, they're a bit big and wouldn't fit through the average doorway, but still. If I had one, it would follow me around dealing summarily with people I don't like. NRRRRK! Badabadabada.

I think that would have been a good story point if they'd made slightly more of it, but it was really only mentioned once. I wonder if there's any more detail in the graphic novel which would elucidate the director's intention in this regard. Because otherwise, there's really very little reason...

Well, not if it, you know, makes sense.

Saw it at the Burbank AMC 16 in "Imax", whatever Imax means this week. Visually beautiful. Thought the writing was absolute drivel. As someone said above, this is a post-release thread, so this will be the only spoiler warning. 1) Isn't this just Moon, only not nearly as good? 2) Why is...

Duplicate, for some reason.

Normally you'd dye the latex (I just put powder paint in it). Obviously you need to use something that stretches - you might try just layering some more dyed latex over the top, but it doesn't always hold on that well if the lower layers have already set. If you get a better-sounding suggestion...

Fastens left over right, so it's ostensibly a man's coat. But it fits Beckinsale? My assumption would have been that they built it!

If you were willing to do it with a movable, handheld stencil, you could do alternate rows. If you view them as horizontal rows of hexagons with every other hex missing, you could spray a row, move the stencil down and to the right a little, spray the next row, etc. It would be fairly...

I spent a few months a while back casting a dozen sheets of dyed latex off a car floor mat. Aren't there actually panels of rubber carpet underlay on the turbolift walls in some of the early Trek movies? If you'll put up with my making a suggestion, it would be that the costume could do with a...

Well, you won't be able to cut materials that don't absorb the laser energy, will you? Polycarbonate may be a bad idea for many reasons, but the fact that it absorbs the laser is not one of them.

Re: A Stylized MAG - A Build From The Ground Up > Creating New Uppers Pg9 This may be only of historical interest now, but earlier in this thread I noticed someone talking about this component and how he wasn't confident of his ability to do it: Now, I'm not a "shoe guy", but my suggestion...
