    Is there a particular reason why you use lacquer versus an acrylic coat like Krylon's Crystal Clear or Mr. Hobby Top Coat?

    These photos are killing me! Aargh! I have to say that I like how it looks better with the legs lower on the scaffold, or with one leg extended for a step forward. I think the proportions work best with it all the way down, imo.

    Just curious, why do you spray a gloss coat first?

    Good hands on video. I skipped some of the unboxing, but he moves through the basics well enough and at a good pace. Lighting isn't as bad as many home videos either.

    Yes, it's filled with diecast. In fact the whole thing is stainless steel, and just in case you haven't heard, it's remote control and equipped with working .45 cal semi automatic guns. The only reason people keep telling you that it's not is because they don't want you to know.

    Yeah, I don't know how much of a fight ED would really win unless it was a contest to see who could blow the crap out of everything in a close radius. That's why ED is so fun at parties.

    These pics are so freaking cool. I've got my figure collection shelves lining the walls of my hobby room and currently they are only 12" in width... *sigh*, which means I'm going to have to replace at least one shelf with a 16" inch wide shelf so I can fit ED comfortably, which means taking all...

    To avoid perspective distortion in pictures I have better luck by positioning my camera further away and then zooming in vs. getting your camera up real close. It seems like the further the camera is away from the object, the more accurate the proportions, assuming you aren't trying to have that...

    :lol Hypocrite, hmm. I think you need to rethink this through. But at least I don't intentionally try to be a ******. Look man, I can see that it's really important for you to let others know that they are boring, or hypocrites, or dull, or stupid etc because obviously your personal comments...

    I DON"T care. This very small portion of "truth" isn't worth my time. What I am annoyed by is people who can't accept that I don't care about their problems. With that said, I do think the gun control sticker is bizarre. It reminds me of that video that all those American actors made to...

    Nope, I haven't made it into the lab to do any infrared spectroscopy on it, but silicone is rarely used in toys and comparatively little in regards to to other polymers because as a manufacturing material it is expensive. Scroll to bottom...

    This is true. I've done a lot casting and mold making as well. There are many different silicone density and longevity options. Silicone can be cast and molded quite easily, but it's relatively uncommon except in the medical field because it's not necessary to use when there are so many other...

    This thing is looking stellar! I don't care about the sound much. I'm totally stoked to get this. I ordered from BBTS herei n the states so I might be waiting longer than average, but the wait is killing me!
