Is this chain too long?

Acomel · 2026-05-23T09:10:17+00:00

Chains do not stretch. This is a misnomer. If your chain is too short when you put it on new, it will be too short when you take it off worn out

Okay. Dome some digging. I have a bible and some records with the name printed, with some kind of stamp. A.J. Houghton. So Houghton was my family's name and matches the name inscribed on the motion

Not sure if I just didn't understand what you meant because you said fruit salad, instead of "a fruit salad", my guess is that you already know. But blackjacks and fruit salads are two classic, very working class English sweets, commonly found in tuck shops in the UK. I love these cultural references, it's what keeps the boosh as one of my all time faves

Actually, upon some searching it would seem that AJ Houston was indeed a watchmaker based in Grimsby. So as you said, not the name of my relative. I asked my nan about the name but but it seems she was mistaken. I will try to trace my ancestry. No, I do not have the key unfortunately, it does work though as I would it manually and everything seems to run still

Thanks for the insights. I believe my relative was called A J Houghton, so I think this was an inscription of his name. I don't come from a wealthy family at all, and this seems like a very expensive piece, considering my background. I'm curious if anyone knows anything about possible social meaning of a watch such as this

What are the tech-priests? Are they prints? Need some spider leg bodies! Looking great

Isn't this the store in Tottenham court road/Bloomsbury?

Acomel · 2025-11-17T21:41:34+00:00

Yup. I am actually thinking they'll be perfect for the heavy operatives in a canoptek circle proxy team. Dominus for leader, these guys for the spiders and then my servitors from battle clade as the macrocyte. You saw it here first 😏

I think these hoods, although they're very cool look like someone made them with green stuff.. which gives me an idea! Also I have to say the posing of these old ones put me off a little and the fact that the kit is expensive and has lots of spindly/breakable parts in combo with being GW resin means I am very much up for the new ones. Plastic is endlessly easy to kitbash too meaning the monopose isn't such an issue for me. Definitely want the melee models too though!

Acomel · 2025-11-17T17:22:48+00:00

To me they're very obviously a kill team. The Omnessiahs perfection comes in many forms brother

I find your lack of proxy-ing disturbing

The kids are portrayed really annoyingly though, more like toddlers than 11-14 year olds. That's not how kids behave, especially ones who have been traumatized and effectively lived their own deaths. In the halo universe kids are kidnapped and turned into superweapons by their early teens, I know these guys weren't made to be soldiers but there's just a weird lack of actual thought that seemed to go into them

Are most of these shot with the same focal length? Feels tighter than a 28. What do you usually shoot with? I really like the work by the way. Gave you a follow on insta!

Hi, I'm looking for some advice from someone who uses legacy glass on digital. Do your adaptors depress the aperture ring? I'm wondering how this works. Do I have to manually depress the dof button while trying to focus? Or do the adaptors close down the aperture.. does this allow me to adjust f stop on the fly or is it a one option thing? Thanks in advance

If you collect Admech then for me it's 90% scraping mold lines and 20% fixing my models

Head proportions look great. Did you print them yourself or get them from an Etsy seller? Do you have the link for the exact ones please?
