Re: Ask FableFreak 'Anything'
I'll tell what I learned and have done in the past with good results when cleaning my knives and swords. Alot of this you may already know from cleaning and fixing up your firearms:
You'll need a few things:
- some lint free cloths
- Windex
- a Scotch Brite Pad or any fine scrub sponge/pad
- some fine steel wool (if it is too coarse it will leave scratches)
- 3M Emery abrasive papers (Coarse, Medium, Fine)
- some steel metal polish
- and last but not least......gun oil!^_^. Pure mineral oil or rem oil works too though. No WD40! It sucks in long term protection.
1. Use the steel wool to rub out the rust spots as best you can. For what you cannot get out will be easily removed by using the abrasive paper.
2. Take the Coarse abrasive paper and run it down the the entire length of the blade on both sides a few times. This will give the blade a satin looking finish but no worries, the next two types of papers will smooth it out. Take the Medium paper and repeat by running down the entire length of the blade on both sides several times. Lastly, take the Fine paper and repeat.
3. Take some metal polish and apply it to scrub pad. Now scrub the blade with side to side strokes running down the whole length of the blade on both sides until you have as shiny a surface as you can get (or at least a better looking one than before lol).
4. Now spray alittle Windex on the blade and wipe it down with one of the clean cloths
5. Lastly, take the gun oil and apply some to a clean cloth and wipe down the blade. Be sure not to apply too much, all you want is a slight sheen. If the blade is not stainless steel, and you are living in a humid area, apply a new coating every few months or even as often as once a month to ensure good protection. Be sure to wipe the blade first to get off any dust or old oil before applying new oil.
Unfortunately even after all of this, if the scratches were really deep or rust was allowed to cause deep corrosion, some of it will still be visible. Damage can be repaired only so much :-/
Last bits of advice you probably know already:
- Keep the knife out of moist areas for obvious reasons: water + metal = rust
- Information varies as to how to store non-stainless steel blades. Some say it is OK to store them in their leather scabbards based on what the leather has been treated with while others say it's a bad idea all around. What I can tell you definitely though is: do not store your knife in the open with the blade bare or the oil will attract dust and cause rust spots. You safest bet is if you have a case or small chest that keeps out moisture, store it in that. Or just store it where you store your guns because I know you have them in a place that protects them from moisture and rust
I hope this helps.

I would have to say New York City, there is so much to do there. And it is within a few hours drive of Washington D.C.
What do you mean exactly by "cross"?
I have dislocated my arm socket, but that is all.

Re: Ask FableFreak 'Anything'
I am a fable modder and can change my hero model to another character.
But with some models the sword is between their legs, the bow also.
How do i solve this?
And another question, how do i make my thunder model Walk and Fight like thunder himself?
Ow sorry that was supposed to be a picture of the sword-between-leg thing.
Thanks

I could barely figure out how to use Albion Explorer, so I will refer you to any of our Modding staff. Just post your question in the Modding section.
