CoH: Adjusted Peaceseeker costumes

Finally went and applied the Cyborg pieces and did some other tweaking on the four active costumes for Peaceseeker. I'll see if I can salvage Ratchet if I ever get this guy to L40.

Double Clutch, a gallery of sorts

Problems, fixes, and some repainting.
And abuse of Lego bricks! )

This is a rather "No, I can't wait to fix that" sort of review in progress.

Review: Activators Megatron

Meh. Scaling up spring-loaded transformations doesn't suit this toy.

Transformers RPM stats wrapup

Thanks to Dollar Tree getting all the single-packs in stock, I've gotten enough RPMs to constitute a sort of critical mass. I don't feel like reviewing them, but here's a list of all the bio notes and techspecs for the ones I have.

Zax Appeal

At a talk today, someone used Seuss's "The Zax" as a way to help explain special relativity and scalar invariance under coordinate transformation. While I found the explanation a bit iffy, it did get me thinking about the Zax and the world they exist in.

Story summary: A northbound Zax and a southbound Zax run into one another in the Prairie of Prax. Neither will step aside, and they argue priority and try to convince the other to move, but to no avail. Years pass, and a highway overpass is built over them while they continue to argue.

Now, this short story is really just meant as a warning against taking too stubborn a stand, I doubt Dr. Seuss worried too much about the sociology or biology of the Zax. Similarly, I expect others have worried about both before me, but I never let that sort of thing stop me.
My speculations under the cut. )

(no subject)

Reshaped the wings a bit more, added putty bits, glued some parts together. It's pretty much ready to start painting now.

Kitbash: WIP Dinah Stavros (Dynastavus)

Yes, more four-armed insect girls. :)

She's a wasp girl, but as the name suggests, not a WASP girl. )

Now to go clean off all the plastic shavings in my hair and clothing.

ETA: Almost done, but decided I needed to do something about the belly scutes. )
