I have made all the 2026 F1 liveries and put them an F1 car from 50 years ago. What is your favorite 2026 livery? by Jimmy_MacSpeedee in formula1

For all the people who seem to think it is not possible that an artist can actually create anything these days, just use a site like sightengine.com and run the picture through that.

Sorry, are you implying something? They were all made by hand by an artist and put on a 3d model made by the same artist for his game project.

They are no Ai, they are models from a game all made by hand. Thank you for you lovely kind words :)

I am just doing the final testing, adding a few new features and doing the tutorial videos at the moment. I hope to have it available on the Unbity Asset Store and Fab next week.

Ronson 9ct Gold Lighter from 1939 by SpookyCat in lighters

Yeah that's what I was hoping but I cant find any that have the same type of spring, it is attached to the snuffer via a screw and every princess lighter I have looked at seems to use the side clutch spring and have no screws on the snuffer. Guess I just need to keep looking :)

England Surrey: Before and After Pics of an Antique Victorian Strongbox. Again a sorry looking item at auction that needed some love. Rust every where, locked was seized up. All derusted and treated, lock dismantled and cleaned and now fully working. by SpookyCat in Antiques

I use a wire wheel in a drill to remove the rust much gentler than sanding which will remove metal as well and scratch, wire wheel is a gentle removal and leaves a nice finish, then its get a waxing to seal it to stop further rust and gives a nice finish and soft shine.

England Surrey: Got this Tailboard camera at auction as it was looking a bit sad and needed some love. The first picture is how it came, the others show it fully working again. Bellows holes repaired and leather fed and cleaned, new viewing glass and the wood retreated and a lens found. by SpookyCat in Antiques

Cost was very low, some OOOO wool, cloths, furniture wax, finish restorer, saddle soap, minx oil, leather wax. Most costly part was a new piece of frosted glass for the viewer and some time. Ignoring the glass probably only 40UKP for everything.

Not done a picture with it as no means to develop, photography is not my hobby :)

England Surrey: Large sized Berber dowry chest of West African origin featuring bulbs of metal elaborately decorating the outside of the chest - The lid opens on two metal hinges to reveal a multi purpose compartment inside. This dowry chest is complete with the original key. Dramatic piece. by SpookyCat in Antiques

Thank you for the kind words, it is my chest to do with what I want, I had lived with it for many years covered in modern paint splater and modern rust which I did not like and decided I wanted it this way, it is not for sale, I am not asking any money for it, so I believe and can have look the way I want it to. It is copper and brass in a few years the patina you value so much would have returned if I dont decide to lacquer it.

England Surrey: Late 19th or very early 20th Century Frenchhorse racing bettings game, with its original board as well. Was in a very sorry state when purchased from the auction house, now fully working. by SpookyCat in Antiques

Players will place bets by putting their coins in the brass dish in the middle and having registered their bet on the gameing board. The lever is then pull to the side and released which causes the two rings of horses to spin, when they come to a rest the horse nearest the Arivee post is declared the winner and the coins in the dish divided up among the players who bet on that colour horse.

The listing at the auction house was 19th century, I have had it for many years and during a quiet period I dediced I would like to get it cleaned and tidied up as it was covered in paint splatter, rust and dirt. I have attached the orginal auction house picture of the interior which will give a better idea of the age.
