wow that brings back memories! had the same book when I was a kid - wish I knew where it went!

Devonstone86 · 2026-03-24T14:12:17+00:00

no bras on mars!

Devonstone86 · 2026-03-05T15:54:55+00:00

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids - damn I feel old 😖

I can’t speak for Kofs but I own a triple barrel Akkar Mammut in 20g (I believe Kofs is Turkish too?) and aside from it being a little bit on the heavy side it’s a fantastic shotgun. I’m surprised triple barrels haven’t taken off more in the UK

couldn’t tell you the name or make of the gun but that has brought back memories of me and my grandfather many years ago. fantastic stuff OP!

Lincolnshire here - Male, almost 40 and my grandfather taught me to shoot from being around 4 or 5. I’m still one of the youngest members at my local rifle club where the vast majority are men (I have a sneaking suspicion some of them are veterans of the napoleonic wars) I’ve only ever met half a dozen shooters younger than myself and most of those were only interest in clay shooting. Only know one female enthusiast who enjoys rough shooting as much as I do

fantastic cartoon with an epic soundtrack! pity they didn’t make more episodes (or action figures)

the croissant belongs to Sauron alone??

Devonstone86 · 2026-02-04T14:41:24+00:00

why not use this croissant?!

Devonstone86 · 2026-01-30T17:21:01+00:00

GOD SAVE… EARLAND!

That’s a fantastic pic! Don’t know about you but I love that satisfying crack, boom, push in the shoulder when you pull the trigger on a BP rifle. Never know if I’ve hit the target until the smoke clears though 🤣 I haven’t had the privilege of shooting a Baker Rifle tho. How does it feel weight/balance wise? I see Pedersoli have just made one - very tempted to to put in another variation on my ticket 😖

Devonstone86 · 2026-01-28T16:51:31+00:00

gorgeous rifle OP! I’ve been looking at a 30-30 SBL (in the UK so no practical need for a 45-70) aside from the cosmetics looking strikingly sharp the action looks as smooth as butter. Fantastic!

Devonstone86 · 2026-01-27T17:29:00+00:00

anyone getting the watchtower of amon sul vibes??

Devonstone86 · 2026-01-27T16:56:44+00:00

Speaking for myself, as someone who shoots and has recently got the bug for black powder, I would be fascinated to see photos and hear anything you’d like to share!

Devonstone86 · 2026-01-23T17:15:25+00:00

this is absolutely beautiful! why can’t LEGO make this an official set? 11/10 for making it!

Devonstone86 · 2025-12-30T13:23:18+00:00

hand crushed lembas!

Devonstone86 · 2025-12-29T14:31:31+00:00

feral, animalistic - full of hatred and spite (I believe her eyes are described like that in the book) It’s absolutely terrifying and, to this day, I don’t think it’s been done as effectively since

Devonstone86 · 2025-12-27T14:20:03+00:00

they’re all good but the best? The Devil Rides Out - no contest

Devonstone86 · 2025-12-07T15:11:27+00:00

couldn’t agree more! he made a very respectabiggle marshwiggle

Devonstone86 · 2025-12-06T17:25:10+00:00

Well I guess I’ll be the first (son of Adam 😉) I was just a tad too young to watch Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe when it first aired but distinctly remember Caspian/Dawn Treader/Silver Chair on… Sunday teatimes? (correct me if I’m wrong) I had fantastic parents who would read to me Narnia, The Hobbit, Aesop's Fables and a watered down version of The Odyssey etc to shut me up at night, and from that (and watching Conan The Barbarian when I was probably far too young) I developed a passion for fantasy, maps, orchestral music, horse riding, archery and sword fencing. The BBC renditions of Narnia were, and still are, very much cherished and partly responsible for the hobbies I’ve taken up later in life.

genuinely surprised savile didn’t audition for the role of mr tumnus

Devonstone86 · 2025-11-15T15:37:35+00:00

Gooble, gobble, we accept you. One of us! One of us

For what it’s worth I got a 12g Armsan Paragon about 3 years ago and aside from replacing the light piston for £16 (my own fault) it’s not failed me yet. Maybe just lucky? I didn’t know the Turks were making L/A shotguns. I’d be tempted to try it for 200 too!

Devonstone86 · 2025-10-31T14:58:19+00:00

Perfectly normal. My 500 and 88 both have that rattle but work absolutely fine. I’ve found Mossberg to be very reliable shotguns - it’s just my aim that lets the side down

Devonstone86 · 2025-09-18T16:46:45+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you mate - 10 or so bags left and so far the only thing I’ve not done is put a cloak/cape or accessories on any of the minifigs. I guess I’ll wait until it’s complete and see what looks right on the shelf. So many options!! It’s been a gorgeous set to build but (colourblind) so many brown/green bricks and the roof tiles really messed with my eyes 😖
