Juliamon: descaling dinosaurs, aka modern science
SquareDotCube: Do Chickens Dream of T-Rexes
Juliamon: lrrSIG
Earthenone: of corse chickens dream of t-rexes, the dino nuggies demand it
MalFnord: Ever goose knows in its bones that they used to rule the earth, and that's why they're always so aggro

CrossXhunteR: how else would they assemble a gundam
patbaer: a friend had an ET "costume" that was a black mask and a smock with ET's face on it
CrossXhunteR: oh, i figured that was hot tea. don't drink that
Juliamon: Grippies
wedge_x: toe beans are extra at the dealer
wedge_x: or aftermarket
DoodlestheGreat: beenz
Juliamon: toe beans are the jacked-up suspension of aftermarket mech mods
patbaer: Ian is just customizing his kit
Juliamon: but all the other Zoids nerds in the Moonbase will call you out on it!
wedge_x: Warning: Thagomizer | Keep Clear
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: that ruler looks so handy >.>
spawnofhastur: cursed daylight savings means i missed half an hour of TTSF. >:C
raulghoulia: I managed to watch all of New Chaotic Century between the last TTSS stream
Juliamon: Very little actual work missed, mostly recapping
spawnofhastur: to be fair the best bits of TTSF is the tangents between Ian, Paul, and anyone else who's around.
CrossXhunteR: the manual might list the runners
spawnofhastur: i wanna see ian etch his own pcb boards.
theawesomeonev2: Genuine question. Is that how you pronounce decal? Cos I've pronounced it dee-cal for years and now I feel dumb
Juliamon: theawesomeonev2 It's a regional difference
Juliamon: Depending where you are, it's dee-kal or deckle
theawesomeonev2: phew. Well atlest I haven't been making a fool of myself
gualdhar: deckle is a very BC Canadian thing
LoadingReadyRun: @gualdhar This is something we've learned since starting TTSF :p
patbaer: customizing
CrossXhunteR: heavy on the THE
UnknownFriday: I still think my favorite color name is Accessible Beige.
CrossXhunteR: they'd probably pull tape measures
spawnofhastur: that's what the entire book is about - a secret military unit whose entire purpose is making it so that the Axis powers don't realise that they've broken the Enigma/other codes
CrossXhunteR: bandai is king at reusing runners
CrossXhunteR: sometimes it will literally be like 2 pieces of 25 that you use
IsaTheEngie: The Vidar MG's got the entire Barb MG frame inside it
IsaTheEngie: That's helpful for me since I broke a part of Barb MG's frame that isn't used on Vidar
CrossXhunteR: those gundam tabletop gaming figures that are upcoming seem interesting
CrossXhunteR: the head mounted vulcans, because relatively small munitions are known to be great against giant armored mechs
TheAinMAP: SirSword
DoodlestheGreat: My eyes! The Vulcans... THEY DO NOTHING!
IsaTheEngie: I feel like vulcans got somewhere exactly once but I forget where
CrossXhunteR: love me some articulation
CrossXhunteR: can the sturm tyrann do the splits, or dab?
Strebenherz: never miss leg day
Transient_Bea: Hello!
DoodlestheGreat: Knee-action suspension, just like a Dubonnet. 🚗
CrossXhunteR: oh, i wonder if this is just the same decal sheet as the regular Berserker Fuhrer
CrossXhunteR: it was... published
CrossXhunteR: i had never previously considered the soot and other residue from a laser cutter on wood, until a 3D printer with a laser cutter built in was announced the other day. the inside of that thing will be filthy
SquareDotCube: woulda guessed brigade
Cptasparagus: earth drum and bass
Morrigan9: Bros.
adept_nekomancer: Earth Defense Bear
DoodlestheGreat: @Cptasparagus The earth ambient is a different mech.
DoodlestheGreat: wat
IsaTheEngie: Ohh! AoZ kits!
VorlonScout: They *should* look like rabbits but do not
CrossXhunteR: oh yeah, advance of zeta had weird named suits and i never understood the inspiration
DoodlestheGreat: Robo bunnies would be fun.
MalFnord: do they at least have bunny ears?
wedge_x: there's not a Thlayli that I could find, which is a crime
IsaTheEngie: Woundwart is the cutest gundam and you cannot change my mind
CrossXhunteR: woundwort is a crazy model kit
DoodlestheGreat: Remember from "One Crazy Summer," beware the cute & fuzzy bunnies.
IsaTheEngie: (I'm working on it right now)
CrossXhunteR: G Gundam also had the sailor fuku gundam
patbaer: this year I built the Zaku Warrior Live Concert Ver. which is up there as far as capital Q Queer
CrossXhunteR: the Nobell Gundam is that
CrossXhunteR: paul, look this up
Cptasparagus: the only gundam gender is the RB-79 Ball
IsaTheEngie: The woundwort, for the uninitiated https://i.redd.it/3mg2ngdu5oty.jpg
DoodlestheGreat: We all remember Aphrodite-A and her missile chest
therepoman__: That was the Swedish Gundam
TheMerricat: Potential NSFW https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F2eo387tafxu91.jpg sometimes they are just really....
CrossXhunteR: it's part of the armor, but the bow is a big bow
SquareDotCube: G Gundam likes to let you know what country the Gundam is from

WiJohn: Is that a Gundam sex thing?

SquareDotCube: You could guess that the Dutch gundam looked like
IsaTheEngie: @TheMerricat dan aerial your GN Drive s
rosesmcgee: The cow goes in the hollow chest missile tube
VorlonScout: Turn A is a fun design, but I *need* Bandai to rerelease the MG Turn X
RatherLargeToad: G Gundam was the Gundam series that dared to ask the question: “What if giant robot fights…were just really cool!”
TheMerricat: I counter your Cow Gundam - https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/GF13-066NO_Nether_Gundam
patbaer: Turn A aka Mustache Gundam
CrossXhunteR: also known as berserk fury in the US, because your children's cartoon invoking hitler might be a little weird
TheMerricat: Sadly - "The "BF" in BFGoodrich stands for Benjamin Franklin Goodrich, the company's founder. "
Nigouki: if you're close enough to read those decals you're either maintenance crew or something has gone very wrong
CrossXhunteR: amuro?
Bobtheninjagoldfish: We all know what the "BF" stands for in anything with the initials "BFG"
CrossXhunteR: got off the island, and went to space
Nigouki: choice based on plot
Nigouki: they had a general outline of what areas were occupied and where White Base was
Nigouki: so it had to be in North America, and somewhere that wasn't SUPER duper occupied
IsaTheEngie: Sometimes Tomino just made decisions to see if people would stop him. They rarely did.
Cptasparagus: is his India trip how Kshatriya got named?
GhostValv: the upshifted variant of unreliable narrator is unreliable creator
CrossXhunteR: kshatriya is one of my 3 favorite mobile suits from Gundam
Nigouki: look at least it's not Macross where Ontario gets obliterated
Strebenherz: pffffffft
patbaer: there was a level of detail that was very much not needed!
SquareDotCube: Or go the Highlander TV route, film in both Seattle and Vancouver and refer to the area as "Seacouver"
CrossXhunteR: really?
patbaer: Puck. who depending on the origin story, was either a mutant OR just a small acrobat
niccus: like, a displaced caber thrower or
MalFnord: Hey now, Puck shot fascists in the Spanish Civil War, he's allright.
Strebenherz: don't forget snowflame, the cocaine powered superhero
7gorobei: john byrne is canadian, he was going to get the totem pole right
gualdhar: what if he was dressed in flannel and threw uncut logs instead
CrossXhunteR: i love the decal fitting that flat exactly
UnknownFriday: @Bobtheninjagoldfish That's Big Friendly Giant, right? The Roald Dahl book?
patbaer: boosts
wedge_x: clear plastic suit, telling you
maxgotnogame: are you building a zoid??
GhostValv: "don't worry about it :) "
Juliamon: maxgotnogame The zoid is built, we're decorating it now
maxgotnogame: roger that
Xafty: the solvent is not kind too ABS or polystyrene
patbaer: I've only used markers for panel lining, I should push myself to trying something a bit more advanced
Juliamon: Lighting doesn't scale the way you want it to
Cptasparagus: its fun being a part of the Gunpla community and observing them develop just enough chemistry knowledge to get by. A lot of them have no idea why things react or what kinds of reactions are happening, but they have broad repositories of how each kind of thinner or glue reacts with each type of plastic from trial and error.

Juliamon: We're discussing panel lining!
Cptasparagus: is the collective noun for Crim's chat the Criminals?
DMGlol: omg is this a zoid?!
Juliamon: It is!!
wedge_x: that's popular in aircraft models
Cptasparagus: thats the next thing I want to learn
Juliamon: The customization rabbit hole is more of a black hole vortex
Glim78: what's this tool
Juliamon: It's a little plastic stick with dense foam tips
Juliamon: it's for cleaning up oopsies
Glim78: Is it custom made or something I can buy
wedge_x: some older aircraft model molds had/have raised panel lines instead of recessed
Cptasparagus: omg Ian this site has metal part addon kits... my wallet...
Cptasparagus: A lot of battle damage is actual fire and hot tools
wedge_x: ah, cool that the designation number can be read by a check reader :D
Cptasparagus: growing up they had battle damaged Gundam action figures, I had a few of them they were cool. Had like half-chopped off arms and such.

Voidhawk42: Cockpit Chakras
Morrigan9: they're grounded
Cptasparagus: you're the 4th most important voltron pilot
TheAinMAP: Left, and then right.
LordZarano: What does one of these damage location diagrams look like for a Gundam https://blogs.library.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Plane.png
Cptasparagus: The internet seems to suggest its Empire Development Bureau
Ogrekidd: @Cptasparagus I the first zoids there is and empire and a republic i think sturm tyrant is a empire zoid
SquareDotCube: they develop the red tape into the dinosaurs
Voidhawk42: This is a Civilian Dino,
SnackPak_: I knew it!
Voidhawk42: Good question. Next question!
Cptasparagus: @Ogrekidd yeah this source is like leaning pretty heavily into fanfic territory so i'm not sure, but it does sound plausible
TimeToFry: Its only Gundanium if its from the Gundanium region of France, otherwise its just sparkling mech metal
serramarkov: If it were an EVA, it's name would be mom!
Morrigan9: hardtoobtanium
Orestes290: unobrainium
wedge_x: the conceit in Avatar is that it was a room-temperature superconductor, and that's why the rocks would float in the planet's magnetic field
serramarkov: I know unobtanium from The Core. I do so love it.
Ogrekidd: @Cptasparagus Yeah the shows didnt go to much into who made what zoids i think it mostly from the old tomy model instructions
Morrigan9: i'm hot for room temp super conductors....
wedge_x: unobtanium also a relatively old engineering term, certainly tongue in cheek, but Cameron didn't just fabricate it :D
LoadingReadyRun: @wedge_x oh, I know. It's that the material in Avatar isn't just a stand-in for "hard to get", is *actually* called Unobtanium.
wedge_x: yeah, like Xerox :D
wedge_x: it just stuck
wedge_x: the actual name was probably just difficult to pronounce by jarheads in-universe
wedge_x: there was Avatar concept art on the wall at Digital Domain when I started there in 1996. he'd been thinking about it for *a while*
LordZarano: Open the door, get on the floor, everybody decal the dinosaur SingsNote
Orestes290: nut the most important
Orestes290: but
Juliamon: appending names of wars with 'thumb' is now occupying my focus
wedge_x: seating, unseating, and reseating the decal is an important part of the process
Rockario: @Juliamon The One Year Thumb War
patbaer: "I'm gonna go with... let's see... BIG ZAM"
jessicaengle: Hi chat!
patbaer: recently we had the Gundam Seed movie with such names as Shi-ve.A, Cal-re.A, and Rud-ro.A
LordZarano: JISHA (Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association) maybe? Where is the universal sentry based?
Ogrekidd: I mean G gundam has a french gundam with roses
DangerMuffin1259: G Gundam = Best Gundam
patbaer: there are like 3 or 4 mobile suits with flower/pedal themed projectiles
patbaer: a couple years ago I got a set of jeweler's tweezers that are great for decal application (basically they put on pressure by default and you press on the tweezers to release the paper)
Cptasparagus: they like volume
Cptasparagus: I have seen people post "i started gunpla a year ago" and then a shelf with like 80+ models
Yeffal: HeyGuys
Ogrekidd: Yeah the different grades scratch a different itch, i'll knock out a hg real quick but will spend several sessions on an MG
