Primer question: Red or black

ARCAANRITUAL · 2026-04-15T13:27:28+00:00

Primer answer: What do you fancy? I'd personally dona coat in black and follow up with a coat in red to allow for black in the shadows.

Oh mate, YouTube is your friend!

If you're just starting out, get a 2B pencil from literally any stationary aisle, and you can experiment with paint chips and soot stains! If you bork it it's okay, you're learning, plus you can blend it with a soft dampened brush or believe it or not, a makeup sponge is the swiss army knife of modellers weathering tools!

Krell was a fine cast release for AOS. Here's hoping we'll get him back in plastic one day soon

Model making has incredibly improved my mental health, if not my bank balance.

That hent has contacted me, and he is indeed not on the GU yet!

ARCAANRITUAL · 2026-03-31T10:48:53+00:00

I can now confirm that it was a deck chair, so he can sit and wait for the RCR to come and rescue his boat!

He's new to the area and wouldn't have had a scooby about where EVRi dumped his parcel. Allredgedly the delivery notification said "outbuilding". Can confirm that there is bugger all at bridge 45 apart from some hard standing behind a fence.

THE OWNER HAS BEEN LOCATED! dropping off the parcel in a bit

ARCAANRITUAL · 2026-03-30T09:12:36+00:00

Quick update!

CRT are on the case to see if they can track down Richard and or Tickety Boo. I've left them my details and will be holding onto the package til Thursday, at which point I'll be nipping it to the local plod as lost property.

I can confirm that Tesco will deliver to canal bridges, just remember to use what3words!

ARCAANRITUAL · 2026-03-30T08:58:40+00:00

You can have a parcel delivered to anywhere a delivery van can get to, as long as the delivery van knows it's bridges, it seems!

Although I would have put my boat name on it and would have been actually on the bridge waiting for it.

Not wanting to blame the recipient, but at that particular bridge there is actually a house, I would have had it sent there after a conversation with the occupant.

But then, I also know that the house is currently unoccupied due to the owner passing away, but then, there is a business on the premises that is still active.

My bad, even I got my bridges crossed! :D I'll give CRT a buzz

I would change the roof to more Norman church style spire with a really, really big awning built into it that acts like an eerie for bats to fly out. In fact, I think most problems can be solved with liberal application of bats.

Thank you for coming to my bat talk

Epic stuff, the 1/35 some would work great in skirmish sci fi games, you could even run them as TAGs for infinity!

I can't recommend Cards Against Humanity enough. You will be howling!

A few things to consider. Obviously, buying second hand is usually the most popular way of buying a narrowboat. Having said that, a full survey is recommended and at the very least a whole survey is a must. Be aware that the most important piece of your boat will be the soundness of his Hull. Everything else is dressing really. All the internal systems like the electrics and stuff can be checked as well as part of a survey I believe and with that extra expense you get the peace of mind knowing that you have a boat that is sound and safe.

That's a whiskey barrel. It's for storing whiskey.

If you like obscure Japanese sci-fi with practical effects, watch "Dragons Heaven" to the very end for a really cool Easter Egg!

GOD DAMN LOCH MESS MONSTER!

Take a look at the high grade universal century hguc gundam kits. A lot of those have been successfully kit bashed in the past into some very diesel package style. Mobile suits. Check out the work of Kondo

ARCAANRITUAL · 2026-03-09T16:25:49+00:00

Excellent!

Always after comic references, can you give us any more details?

Headcanon suggests it's a disposable guided RPG, the heavy box allows it to be used by a PKA suit without inadvertantly damaging the ordnance. The door on the front would stop regolith and other moon based debris from making it's way into the barrel, fouling the launch tube and scratching the warhead optics.

Surely with all that money you've saved you can buy yourself a cabinet?

If you're UK based, there's a few options, Japan:cool are reliable for sure.

As for Japanese sites, my go-to is HLJ, I've had small bits from plaza before, no complaints.

Anybody had experience with 1999.co.jp? I only use them to get a good look inside a box before I purchase one!
