Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Facial hair and YOU: what's your preference?
« on: October 25, 2007, 06:37 AM »
Normally just a goatee but alot of scruff. I hate being clean shaven. When I look in the mirror and see no fuzz at all I dont recognize myself.
Currently got a huge beard, but only because I am lazy, the girlfriend has not complained enough about it, my work does not have a policy against it, and er... I am lazy... oh wait I mentioned that...

Sadly my biggest problem when I start getting into this is space. I aleady lack the space to show off my collection (and a tiny collection at that...)
Maybe I should start off with bridge diaramas that go across the ceiling to put the vehicles on...LOL  :P

Well I was wrong about TAP...
They mention that they sell Sheet Styrene in 4' x 6' sheets, HOWEVER they do not list the price for it. This I think is freaking insane as they list the price for everything else. Unless its a case of its listed under a different name. Is there another name for Sheet Styrene?
I definitely want some bulk on hand before I get really involved with a project. I really hate having to wait for more supplies.
I picked up some of the Devcon plastic weilder. Will give using it a shot after I procure more styrene. Also realized I should aquire a metal yardstick for a guide while cutting the styrene...  :P

I dont use the thumbnail option that often. I think I will just go to standard pics from now on.
I am so so sorry for any pop ups and stuff anyone got. I want you all to know I dont know how this is happening and I will kill the current links and change them to standard pics.

Thanks Darth_Anton!

Glad to see that they have not lost their touch. Great episode! I was almost worried before watching it that it would be a slow start.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Price of toys to increase 10% in 2008?
« on: September 21, 2007, 05:48 AM »
I'm not missing that fact ;)

there are plenty of sales tax free states- they got it made!

 :)

I was thinking Oregon was the last sales tax free state left. Good to know there are others. Sales that always throws me off when I go out of state. I am not that Washington, but most the time I forget about sales tax when I go to stores there.
If they are increasing the price of the figures, I definitely am cutting back. The current price for star wars figures is too high in my opinion considering there are largers figures from different toy lines with far better articulation with the same price. Just ridiculous.

Oh man! Thats where I had seen that before! In childhood!
Always wanted Robotix as a kid but never got any. I loved the Cartoon.
I used to see them in the store and wish I had them.

First off, I was inspired by the art in this link:

This is a simple repaint, but one I wanted to do for some time.
I think I either used too much Dull Cote or I have way too many lights in my room.

Sweet!
Thanks for all that info!

Hopefully my Wal-Mart carries Devcon 2-part Plastic Welder.
Ya, I definitely want to buy some styrene in bulk.

The plastic distributer that I know of that is near me (and by near, I mean about 30 miles away.) is TAP plastics. However I called them up and they say that they dont carry Styrene sheets. They carry about every possible plastic creation, I thought it was odd the didnt carry that. (unless the person I talked to had no idea what I was talking about and just said no.)
