Hello?
17:42
< JPRoth1980>
Howdy.
17:44
< JPRoth1980>
By the by, thanks for the welcome to the Hangar, Mantisking.
17:46
< Mantisking>
You're welcome.
17:46
< JPRoth1980>
So what's up?
17:50
< Mantisking>
Not much, just trying to make it through the workday.
17:52
< JPRoth1980>
You and me both. Going to try to build a bug tonight and frustrate myself looking for a part that I know exists but can't find.
18:07
< Mantisking>
I have to work on a blog post tonight. Hopefully I can sneak in a few extra pictures of stuff I built recently along with the ones for the blog.
18:09
< JPRoth1980>
Very nice. I see three issues with my design, aside from having to use off-color parts to check feasibility. It's going to be somewhat large for MFZ, but not overmuch so--about 1.5 Scramblers long and a little taller.
18:09
< JPRoth1980>
I want to have the body be 3 studs wide, which will be a pain since other parts need to be 2 or 6-wide and centered.
18:10
< JPRoth1980>
And I have to figure out what the hell that hinge piece is called!
18:11
< Mantisking>
What does it look like?
18:22
< JPRoth1980>
At the moment, something of a large scorpion.
18:22
< JPRoth1980>
Oh, the hinge. Sorry, brain not working.
18:23
< JPRoth1980>
It's a 1x1 round bit that connects in the middle.
18:24
< Mantisking>
Do you mean the 2x2 plate with the 2x2 round spinning plate?
18:27
< JPRoth1980>
Not at all.
18:28
< JPRoth1980>
Oh. I think I found what it is. 61903.
18:30
< Mantisking>
Oh, the Universal Joint. They're pretty floppy.
18:32
< JPRoth1980>
Yeah, there is that. Just hard to articulate a thin tail otherwise, I think.
18:34
< JPRoth1980>
Wait. I found the piece I was looking for.
18:35
< JPRoth1980>
Well, found it in use. Still no clue what it is.

18:42
< JPRoth1980>
The tail bits.

18:46
< JPRoth1980>
And of course I looked at it, went "nah, that can't be it," and moved on.
18:57
< Mantisking>
Ain't that always the way?
18:58
< JPRoth1980>
Seems like. Oh well. I'm sure I'll manage.
19:29
< Mantisking>
So are you enjoying your Hangar experience?
19:43
< JPRoth1980>
Thus far, although it tends to fill me with envy. And also ideas.
19:45
< Mantisking>
Looking at other people's stuff and going "Daaaaaaaamn"?
19:47
< JPRoth1980>
More or less. Although sometimes I got "what" instead.
20:08
< Mantisking>
Or "How the hell did they do that?"
20:09
< JPRoth1980>
How, and very occasionally, why. ;)
20:23
< JPRoth1980>
I admit that my preferred aesthetic is very utilitarian. I don't get the more "anime" designs, which I know is a faulty term, but still.
20:31
< Mantisking>
I'm not sure I have an aesthetic.
20:34
< JPRoth1980>
From your work, I'm not sure you do, either. But to be fair, I have only designed a single frame and it was largely a ripoff of other designs.
20:59
< Mantisking>
At least neither of us can be pigeon-holed just yet. :-)
21:38
< JPRoth1980>
Give it a bit. I plan on doing more Kaiju than frames.

Time for me to go. Later.
