When picking a route try to pick one that doesn't traverse or have many sideways moves. Eric only has partial use of his abs and has a lot of trouble even moving the smallest bit to the side. The route does also have to be at least vertical, or his harness tends to get stuck a lot and his legs get r...

I have taken some sculpture classes that delt with mold making. You can take silicone caulk and thin it down with mineral spirits just a little bit and paint it on the object to be molded about 1/16" thick. Then lightly dab cheesecloth into into it. After that dries doe a few more thin layers o...

How else would agent smith have been able to ...
