Carapace Shell Manager

by Douglas Hildebrand

I am always looking for a way to stretch the contents of a kit. How many ways can I stretch a Talos kit so I have as many original models and poses possible???

That’s what a bitz box is for, isn’t it? The easiest to do is take a fantasy orc box and an ork boyz box, mix up the bitz, and you have a whole new range of models to showcase in your army. It is a simple change to execute…. as if someone was thinking ahead and planned it that way. Say it isn’t so. What I want to address are the not so obvious opportunities. What I like to do is appeal to my inner Haemonculi or Mech Boy and create something that will be unique; mine and mine alone. Mwahahahahaha…..

Today we are thinking like a Haemonculi. After getting the Talos box, I couldn’t help but to fall into that mode. There are so many bitz and pieces left over after building one of the options. You can argue that they did a magnificent job in differentiating the Talos and Chronos pieces or a horribly wasteful job of not finishing the task of giving you two complete models – I believe the latter. (Ready, set, go. Whoooosh. Flame on). Well, put on your Urien Rakharth thinking cap (which is probably someone elses skull cap, if it’s a good one), break out your bitz box, and get your gears churning. I built three models out of the one box. Three models for the price of one. The first one was really simple. Follow the instructions in the box and build a Talos. Yep, that is all there is to it. Done. Fin. One down two to go.

Carapace

Carapace is a shell manager that was started as a hobby project some years ago now. It is still unfinished, but usable and stable. Using Carapace you manage multiple shell environments, and effectively run SharpE and Explorer together with very little effort. It can also be used to execute any application or game without first loading a shell, this way you have maximum memory available.

Wtf

WTF (What's This File) is a simple method of checking what's running on your machine, researching any Task found, and then ending the Task if required. Best of all, unlike many tools in it's class, you don't need to study a large manual to use it. WTF is freeware, includes an installer/uninstaller and like all RCMedia Services applications, does not contain any spyware, adware or backdoor nonsense of any kind.
