It's not pinpoint precision, but it's a lot better now than stock. Still having no success with my scratchbuild experiments, I lack the right kind of foam.

The more I find out about DC Universe Online, the more I think they're Doing It Wrong. But the original premise that lets them have thousands of new heroes running around, that works fine. When setting an MMO in an existing property, you need a reason why there's all these non-canon characters, after all, and "Lex Luthor came back from a horrible future with a bunch of stolen powers he's giving out in an attempt to avert that future" works fine.

How would you set up the MMO premise for Marvel?

I think the hard part will be getting used to having shift on only one side of the keyboard. I tend to delete when trying to capitalize.

Well, they're $6, worth picking at least one up to try out the concept. Also, Knock Out is a hammerhead trike.

( No books of note, not many books at all )

   Dave Van Domelen, not a particularly quoteable week, although I was amused by the gigantic computer in THUNDER Agents that was nonetheless easily tipped over to become a fatal threat.

The other day I tweaked a couple of Pala-Dyne's costumes to finally update them with the new metallic skin and some Going Rogue pieces. And tonight I finally got him into and through an Imperious Task Force, so I could replace his old half-assed Cimeroran outfit with a proper one.

   Dave Van Domelen, "You were always going to get killed, sooner or later." - Alpha Trion to Ironhide

I got a spare Energon Tow-Line from a friend years ago, and I set it aside with the intent of someday turning it into the A-Team van. Someday came this week. :) I did initially try it with the dark gray upper of the canonical GMC Vandura, but I decided it looked better black. Unfortunately, some of the area ended up getting lumpy as I corrected stuff, and even buffing back down to the bare plastic didn't fix it. So I arranged the camera angles so as to hide the paint defects...but when the light hits it just right, it looks wrinkled or something. :( The original clear weapon was broken (part of why I got it in trade), but he can carry around Jungle Ironhide's weapons (not shown).

Got a better shot this time, the haze cleared some and I figured out how to use the eyepiece sight to line up the shot by leaving both eyes open. :)
