I pretty much stay here in the P&M section. OT scares me sometimes. We appreciate the relaxed-ness though.

I haven't even ventured there....it sounds scary......news and rumors has scared me off too.

lol... alpharius... I see both our names there... a match made in heaven...er...wallmart

and yep... whenever I venture into off topic it usually makes me come back to P&M with an angry and bewildered hothead...

I only noticed that when I was posting it here!

As for the OT...yeah.

I really only go there when summoned...so...I'm generally not too happy when I am there!

LOL.... I think one future day we have to find a better name for mods... something that sounds more fitting...

Well, my plumbing fiasco is fixed now, I gave the man $95 and he made the water go down once again!

I'll stick to resin plumbing myself from now on...

What is it about the creatures that graze in OT anyways? If you look in their galleries, often you see no models or talent whatsoever, yet they choose to troll on a gaming site for some strange reason?

I've often wondered about that myself...

I don't think I'll ever understand it!

However, it does allow me to occasionally transform into:



and unless this pic as well:

are you trying to tell me something?

...naaaa.I'm pretty sure you'd purify without warning

No worries here - I love this thread!

I just don't get to use those pictures as much as I like... or should?

Any excuse to whip them out, so to speak...

they didn´t even use holy fire to purge ...tststs... the standards are lowering all over the wold it seems....

Vik, we're not even good enough for a color picture of exterminatus

You definitely don't want some Mod drop exterminatus on you - it is...horrible!



Anyway, carry on.

Just remember:

Thanks Alph!

Supply Envelope from LDD!!

REAL British car repair mesh!! (left)- you can see the pattern and surface area are bigger than the hobby mesh we get here in the US (right).

Thanks LDD!!

So now we see. That bigger mesh makes for good netting. Very similar product though. How does price compare?

Here, you get a 16"x20" sheet for about $5 at Michael's craft store- they used to carry different sizes, even brass, but nowadays this is the only one they stock.

ahh....what a mess....er.....mesh

More plumbing...

Glad it got there ok it's a pound a sheet for the A4 size you got, now make good use of it …………..not for repairing your car though

I still don't know how it works for car repair

Think that you have a small rust patch in your body work, clean it back to metal add filler and using the mesh as a support structure build over it, then sand back to form the desired shape.

mmm ducts, those look like a nice find,
makes me want to watch Brazil tho

what are the big blue things in the top of the image?

Those are the support pieces Noodles

I'm thinking more rust, less shininess eh?

You posted pics of rusty pipes and then your pipes in the house got clogged...coincidence???

I do love the pipes. Yes more rust.

What's the diameter on the actual pipes, about 1/2" ?

Mm got me thinking.

And the mesh is just as LDD says. It's like a support for fibreglass, to bridge larger gaps in body work.

Other point is, and I often wonder this..........why?

Why would you take pipes up and around and down again like that. Looks great and all. But really why would you as an engineer think "I know I'll take the pipes from underground, and I'll run them up 20' in the air. I will have to build a gantry for them. Oh and then I'll run them back down again just over there. And everyone will wonder why I did it, and think "maybe there is something buried under just this bit that the pipes can't run through. OOO wonder what it is?" cool."

Nice pipes.

Maybe a little more rust. Although, think if you want them to look like they still work (not overly rusty) or if they are long forgotten (very rusty).

Cam: Maybe they're to clear a road and underground pipes are not possible.

Could be like oil pipelines. The fluid must be warmed to make sure the viscosity is low enough for it to pump.

Either that or every so often have the pipes above ground in order to have access to them for repairs or clean outs if they get clogged.

.>Or because you need an excuse to have another elevated walkway

I used to work in a cotton mill, and we had pipes that had sprung up in a building that was over 100 years old, and they had to be run through areas not designed for those pipes in the first place. So, yeah, they twisted all over the place like that.

Dave's underhive now has proper piping and maybe duct work? must have Duct works!

That's the beauty of modeling the Underhive...no one remembers what the equipment used to be for, and especially WHY it's there

I love this thread...
