Mako Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Oh yeah, that stuff does the trick too. Though if it's really old paint and it's stuck on good, it's probably going to involve scrubbing no matter what you use. Could also try putting her in the freezer then thawing her a few times, sometimes that helps as the metal shifts as it changes temperature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hm. Might have to give that a go. Worst case scenario of this, I buy another one...$20 is a little much, but it would give me the chance to get her helmet and scabbard again (lost those... >.>) and I could do a proper base for her. ---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ---------- O.O Holy crap, I love my professor. The class that I'm way behind on? He just gave a 24 hour extension for the assignments because of Easter. Thank you God! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nice! Always good to see professors paying attention to reality. It's quite rare, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 It's definitely nice, gives me time to catch up on the assignments. Woot! And yeah, I've seen some out-of-touch professors, like the 'no such thing as a medical emergency' variety... How're the snipers coming along?

edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 No no no...Jaegar spiders. They simply must be Jaegar spiders. Heh, how're you doing at the new job a few weeks into it? ---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ---------- I'm okay. Working on schoolwork, doing work, fighting with the muse to get her onto painting, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) The new job is going well enough. I enjoy it (as much as one can actually enjoy work anyways) My muse has been mostly non-existant as of late. Just haven't had much time or really been inspired to get painting. I did do a couple more 7 dollar paint jobs though. (posted the pics up on the thread). And I have another showgirl mostly painted,.. but can't seem to settle on the finishing touches for her.

Webmonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I need to get writing too,... I'm not good enough or fast enough for the iron quill thing. But I do enjoy telling a story. I'm always self-conscious though. Never sure if people enjoy my work or not. I guess it would help if I shared my stuff more though. I don't get feedback because I don't really share. And there-in lies my problem. Plus,.. I tend to get embarrassed easily, especially at negative feedback on such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I tend to ignore "proper grammar" and "proper writing" techniques. Mostly, because real people don't speak in a "grammatically correct" fashion. Maybe I will send you some stuff. I figure, as long as I can get my point across, and maybe take the reader on a bit of a journey that they can picture inside their head, then I've done my job. I also tend to write like I speak and how I think inside my own head. Maybe it just doesn't always translate well for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Heh, if you define proper grammar as what Word tells you to do, forget that nonsense. First thing I do with every word processor is turn that feature off, it's wrong most of the time. I aim first and foremost for clarity of expression. If something seems unclear, I'll recommend it be changed. Otherwise, it probably falls under different writing styles. If you write like you post up here, you and I will get along just fine.

ThePandaDirector Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 @Webmonkey: You can send stuff to me too. I'm not as good a writer as edonil, but I like to think I can provide honest and (hopefully) helpful feedback to any writer =] I'm at a brick wall myself, which wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't so early in the story.

edonil Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'd encourage you to send it to Panda too, he's a better editor than I am by far. Although, don't sell yourself short, Panda, you're pretty good at it too! What's the brick wall you're at? Maybe the rest of the OTTers can start laying from sapping tunnels for ya.

Webmonkey Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Plus, he's quite good at telling you where you screwed up without sounding cruel *wink* I could use some of that I suppose. It wouldn't work well if he just blurted out that it sucked without explaining what was wrong. Me>> What'd I do wrong??? Ed>> *points harshly* YOU FAIL!!!,....

bowchikawowers Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 heya! Monkey, you can send stuff to me too. I'm about as avid a reader as ever existed on the planet and a visual thinker. I like to describe it as watching a book. :3 If you're aiming for giving the reader an image they can see in their heads, I can definitely help there. And I'm about as irreverent a grammar student as you can imagine. English classes. pshhhh so long as the idea is clear who cares if it's grammatically correct? I do some proof reading for Ed, too. he can tell you if im helpful or not. I like to aid more with concept and direction than writing styles. big picture kinda thing, ya know?
