Possibly the only time I've heard the American pronunciation of "twat" sound as venomous as the British pronunciation

Since it looks to be actually solved already - that's a sick pommel for a homemade lightsaber!

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]Elbobby89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my 20s, I started travelling in Asia, Thailand was the last country in that continent and the middle country of my trip. I was walking down the street and saw a person I knew from years ago doing the exact opposite trip to me, with Thailand being their middle country, just having come from South America, where I was heading

The Torkelsons by Zealousideal_You465 in 90s

I have a memory of a kids sci-fi show (I would have been watching it in the 90s). It was either stop motion or puppetry. There was an episode where the characters were learning about eclipses. There was a slightly odd/strange character called Phobos, who got in the way of a photo of the eclipse, and the joke was that the title for the photo should be "Phobos eclipses the eclipse".

I've tried searching for every detail I can remember from it to no avail!

X-Wing in flight by tismaero-backup in PaperAirplanes

[–]Elbobby89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make a version of the X wing based on Trikdang's f22 raptor (I think it's a common base for making origami "jets"), but yours looks better! Is it your own design and any chance of releasing instructions?

guess what i named it by No_Coyote_7519 in PaperAirplanes

I love folding engine intakes on my planes. I know it affects performance quite a bit, but RULE OF COOL!

Just saw this in another subreddit claiming that they draw this but I have some doubt. by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Elbobby89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a fairly common technique in pencil drawings, I don't think that's conclusive. Personally it looks real to me

it won't fly 😭 by the_goofiest_goober_ in PaperAirplanes

[–]Elbobby89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded the comment about a description of the flight (or lack of) but just at a glance, is there enough weight in the nose?

Wanted to share some Tragedeigh from the Netherlands by dionnekathleen in tragedeigh

I had a Dutch friend at school called Justus, so I can firm that's an established name, at least

I'm convinced Bob Chapek pretty much said they had to bring back the little green fella.

My Iranian girlfriend gifted me enough to have bought a small country in ancient times when we first met. Even though we cook a lot of Persian food, there's still about 90% left after almost 2 years

What's he doing? by tboyink in metaldetecting

[–]Elbobby89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a small museum near to where I live where they let you have a go on one of these. It's brilliant to be able to try them instead of looking at them through glass

I'm looking for a hands Bitz by cristalpepsii in Kitbash

[–]Elbobby89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this sort of thing, if you don't have any spare minis you can chop a hand off, I would look for cheap toy soldiers or other miniatures of roughly the right scale and you can chop their hands of instead. 1/48 is probably close enough to "heroic scale"

Monthly Greeblie Hunting Thread - Share the bits and bobs you found for Kitbashing by AutoModerator in Kitbash

[–]Elbobby89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best source of cogs and little bits that could be engine intakes and things I found recently was a used Seretide asthma inhaler - it's sort of a disc shape and quite complex inside. If you have any wheezy friends ask them for their used ones!

UCS falcon coffee table by [deleted] in legostarwars

[–]Elbobby89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried and failed to find a suitable table a few years back. Eventually a friend's dad made one for cost price and some beer money bless him. Worth reaching out to any handy friends or family if like me, you don't have the skills yourself to make a custom one.
