Why was this downvoted? A source link would actually be nice. I don't see any watermarks or anything else attached. How else can we support this creator? And maybe he has more awesome stuff?
I meant the sensors. If its so small that it can fit on your ear why not integrate it in the helmet? The helmet has plenty space for change able batteries. Maybe i really dont like things on my ear? Donno.
The sensor is battery powered... depending on how the battery cover is shaped and / or placed, this would make it a big pita to change batteries. You would also limit yourself to only use it together with the helmet.
Ok so during my *brief* time around apaches I learned a little about why things are the way they are. Between the D and E model apaches, they upgraded the helmet mounted sensor for the main gun from infrared to magnetic. The infrared system was cheaper for a lot of reasons. It just looked at where your head was pointed from a single reference frame, easy peasy. Except, it could be thrown off by the simplest and most bizarre things you might not think of, including: >
The sun. Fogging cockpit/moisture. Dust. Any other mirrored surface. Someone's unclean finger print. Etc. The magnetic system had so few ways that any accidental interference could disrupt either the proper sighting procedure or afterward during flight.... unless the magnetic device falls off your helmet velcro patch.
There are reasons for everything, but none of that justifies the absurd contracts we give to those warmongering cunts. Defense contractor CEOs should be required to be on the front lines and using the equipment they sell. Either that, or lined up against a wall.
reminds me of a coworker who built a fully functional Predator costume with moving cannon and still lost the cosplay costume contest at a Con to a hot girl in a store bought Super Girl costume.
A Yjuta ripping out Kara Zor-El's spine on a planet that is under a yellow sun? Thats almost as dumb as in Itchy and Scratchy episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy's ribs as a xylophone but when he strikes the same rib twice he produces two distinct tones. Are we supposed to believe that this is some sort of magic Yjuta that Mr. Mxyzptlk enchanted to... wait that could actually work...
One cannot make such claims without providing evidence in the form of pictures and/or video! Of Super Girl, obviously. (more serious, that sucks. As much as I like boobs, what goes for cosplay these days is occasionally really tiresome)
Why not have a "Sexiest Costume" (only eligible if 18+) and a "Best Costume" as part of the same competition? Dividing them into two categories helps people to separate those two criteria and then vote for both the costume that does it for them and the one they think was actually the best.
"best" costume in terms of cosplay should be about accuracy to the source and effort put in. The judges who give out the awards to women just because they have big tits, should be blacklisted from judging competitions. Also, "sexiest costume" would just be a beauty pageant for nerds.
Something doesn’t add up. Most costume competitions require them to be mostly if not completely hand made. If it’s a fan choice, sure, but the primary ones have lots of categories and judges that go so far as to grade stitching that you can’t even normally see and off the counter costumes are disqualified.
Look, it was made with cardboard and spray painted with metallic blue because that was the closest color on a limited budget and time. And for those unsure, in joking, i don't know that person or their coworker.
Go home to your Mad Cat. I would be satisfied if it was upgraded to an AC/5 that on a 55ton Chassi with Jumpjets and you get a real classic, which might be even unseen.
Btw do you know what makes me Mr. Moneybags? I can field the original SHD-2H figurine from the 90's on a Table. Got the full box Scout Lance boxes and can sport 2x Locust, 2x Phoenix Hawk, one Ostscout, 1x Valkyrie, 1x Shadowhawks, 1x Wolverine. The original Models. Together with my 2x Warhammers, 2x Archers, 2x Marauders, Thunderbolt you know where the money is on the table at a Convention when there are BT Games. When i opened my Case the room went silent and then into Ohh and Aahhs.
Sadly the Piranha models came to late to save BT on the Table and the reworked models to circumvent the Unseen were shit. Had an asshole damaging my Marauder which was painted in the Tech Handbook Colours, because he was so proud of his "new Marauder Mar-5D" model, which looked like shit, and the model was not great either. Lets say after damaging the Mar-3D Model by squeezing the legs together, somehow he went out on every Massbattle first. No support from his side and opposing side focused him
Speaking of Mr. Moneybags, a LTV 160 is far to expensive for that puny weapons loadout. You can save 10% in costs go with a Leenev 60 and you get even an AC/10 and Jumpjets in a 30 tons chassi with more Armor.

Why put it on your ear when you could've glued it to the helmet?
vizeroy42
Changing batteries, or recharging is much easier when it isn't glued in.

theaddtinkerer12
Change able batteries and placement there off will require some thought. Dont see problem with having to change a battery every now and then.
Being limited to the helmet is indeed a good point. Dont really have a rebuttal here.....................yet.
Well done good sir.

$1.5 billion? We are talking about military spending, you have to multiply that number by at least 50.
