| 16:58 | < Soren> | AHA |
| 16:58 | < Soren> | The bastard works now. |
| 17:15 | < Mantisking> | Hey there. |
| 17:16 | < Soren> | Hey. |
| 17:19 | < Mantisking> | How are things going? |
| 17:25 | < Soren> | Pretty well. Knowing youāre going to get paid for the last 2-3 months of work is a load off. |
| 17:26 | < Mantisking> | That's good. I was unemployed for a number of years so I know what that's like. |
| 17:27 | < Mantisking> | Oh, so people really got a kick out of the face radome on the Mekong. |
| 17:27 | < Soren> | Well, being freelance is a little different, but yes. |
| 17:27 | < Soren> | I bet. Itās pretty funny. |
| 17:37 | < Mantisking> | It was just a whim on my part. I figured I was never going to use it, so why not? |
| 17:39 | < Mantisking> | You have any MFZ designs or ideas you're working on right now? |
| 17:40 | < Soren> | Well, vaguely. |
| 17:40 | < Soren> | I had a crazy idea for a two-deck carrier on a frigate chassis, and I want to do some minimal Alpha Bandit designs similar to the Conscript. |
| 17:41 | < Mantisking> | I'm mulling over and idea for a frame based on the center piece of your FC frigate. |
| 17:42 | < Mantisking> | I'm also thinking about a giant wheel design using some bases from a Mega Bloks set. |
| 17:44 | < Soren> | Hmm! |
| 17:44 | < Soren> | All good stuff. |
| 17:44 | < Soren> | Iām actually looking forward to a break to build some larger, more complex stuff, though. |
| 17:45 | < Soren> | Itās been a while since I had the space to do that. |
| 17:48 | < Mantisking> | I tend to build in microscale naturally. I haven't really built anything big since I was a kid. |
| 17:48 | < Mantisking> | That will change when I get the Lego Movie spaceship though. |
| 17:49 | < Soren> | Yeah. Iām tempted by that beast. |
| 17:51 | < Mantisking> | It looks just like the stuff I used to build. I'm buying it, building it, and putting it up on the top of the bookcase. |
| 17:56 | < Soren> | Yeah, I tend to build large in microscale, which is just right for me. Once you start going over three feet, thereās no way to do something interesting and stay sane. |
| 17:56 | < Soren> | And you start running into structural limits well before that, itās just that past that line they become completely horrible. |
| 17:59 | < Mantisking> | Hmmnn. Could you imaging a large scale Alpha Bandit game? |
| 17:59 | < Soren> | I can imagine giving over a living room to a very small one. |
| 18:01 | < Mantisking> | That could be interesting. |
| 18:01 | < Mantisking> | So I can't remember what your thoughts are on clone bricks. |
| 18:01 | < Soren> | āfeel free to use them but expect crap.ā |
| 18:03 | < Mantisking> | Okay. |
| 18:03 | < Soren> | Mostclone bricks are molded to a much looser tolerance than Lego, so theyāre all over the map in terms of fit and solidity. |
| 18:04 | < Soren> | But gear, minifigs, foliage? fancy stuff that doesnāt have to do too much interlocking? That stuffās great, and the chepaest to manufacture, which is why clone sets are so full of it. |
| 18:04 | < Soren> | cheapest* |
| 18:12 | < Mantisking> | I've found some neat stuff in Kre-O sets. And the tolerances on those seem to be approaching Lego. |
| 18:12 | < Soren> | Yeah, so I keep hearing. |
| 18:13 | < Soren> | There were those transparent gun barrels, I forget if those were Kre-O or something else. Those were interesting. |
| 18:14 | < Mantisking> | You mean those 1x1 Round Bricks with the holes in the sides? |
| 18:14 | < Soren> | No, let me poke around. |
| 18:21 | < Soren> | Hmm. Canāt find it. |
| 18:24 | < Mantisking> | There are a couple of transparent pieces in this review. http://the-mobile-frame-garage.blogspot.com/2014/01/purity-ocean-attack-review.h tml |
| 18:27 | < Soren> | Iāll let you know if I run across it. |
| 18:27 | < Soren> | Anyway, not opposed to the idea at all. Iām in favor of what works for people and looks good. |
| 18:30 | < Mantisking> | Cool. |
| 18:43 | < Mantisking> | Rumor has it you might be at the Denver Comic Con MFZ event. |
| 18:48 | < Soren> | Yeah, itās possible. |
| 18:48 | < Soren> | Still figuring that out, though. |
| 18:51 | < Mantisking> | I'm probably not going to make it. The wedding is coming up and I'm running out of vacation time. |
| 18:54 | < Soren> | Yeah, understandable. |
| 18:54 | < Soren> | Honestly, Julie wanting to visit her folks was the biggest factor in this. |
| 19:10 | < Mantisking> | Understandable. Alright, I'm going to try and be productive before the guests arrive. |
| 19:10 | < Soren> | Good luck! |
| 19:11 | < Mantisking> | Thanks. Good chatting with you. |

| 19:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren! |
| 19:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Dang. |
| 19:44 | < Ced23Ric> | I am currently in a P&P session. |
| 19:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Should be resolved in about 2h 15mins. |
| 19:44 | < Ced23Ric> | I'l be around then! |
| 19:45 | < Soren> | np, Iāve got stuff going on over here. |
| 19:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Good to ... be back. Or something. |
| 19:45 | < Ced23Ric> | I need to pick your brain when I am back. |
| 19:45 | < Soren> | Hmm, okay. |
| 19:45 | < Ced23Ric> | When it comes to ships, the bricks won't speak to me. :( |
| 19:45 | < Soren> | Ah, well. I can help with that. |
| 19:48 | < Ced23Ric> | You might see my problems here, if they translate. |
| 19:48 | < Ced23Ric> | This is the best I got so far: http://mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4430&p=36646#p36646 |
| 19:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Aright, be back in a bit. |

| 20:35 | < FlakManiak> | Hey. |
| 20:39 | < Soren> | Hey. |
| 21:50 | < FlakManiak> | Alright. I'll finally post these three companies on the forum. They're all Chub variants, as it happens. |

| 23:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Aaaand i missed Soren. |
| 23:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Balls. |
| 23:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Heya Mantis. What's up? :) |
| 23:47 | < Mantisking> | Not much. Glad to see your back. |
