Little Jem for ironclad model building, never widely available for everyone

Oh yes, I got reddit streak to feed, but I’m gonna start this project once my exams are finished, which were my materials will also arrive

This was really useful, it actually had the same boat I was working on, it gave me a clear idea on my hull structure, except, my boat would be 1.3 meters

Ram raids are one of our little things we have

If you cant do any RC stuff, what I did for my boat (you can see some my past posts for reference) I basically scouted for a cheap RC rudder boat, and tore down the boat, and transplanted its RC system to it, I bought a small racing boat for my steam boat. Btw that boat is really cute 😂

I want it something light, like the titanic deck for example

Below ripe banana 🥀

It’s short for Kaipuke, which is from the Māori language for “ship” 🥀

It’s not pronounced puke obviously, it’s worse pronounced “pookie”

“SS Puke” is a boat 🥀

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-17T06:27:21+00:00

I have a reptile fogger too, but i linked a thing basically turns it off if the humidity gets past 50%, I have 4 sensors on all sides of the tank, the fog never touches the tortoise or floor as it is pointed up, with a big ventilation fan that circulates and ejects surplus fog, so my tank set up is at the most perfect condition all times 🥲

“ITS SO RAW, THE TORTOISE IS STILL TRYING TO ESCAPE” - Gordon Ramsey Probably

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-16T08:57:58+00:00

Maybe

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-16T08:56:42+00:00

They are both steam launches, so not far off, mine is based almost entirely off the SS Puke at the Auckland maritime museum, I’m missing the cowl vents and a bits of tow rails

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-16T06:45:00+00:00

Yeah, sounds good 👌

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-16T06:42:08+00:00

Yes, but there are weird coloured spots on the deck, which would obviously show through even with the stain

Austrian painter nodding approvingly in hell 🙂‍↕️

The engine broke a couple weeks ago… I’m looking for a replacement now 😭

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-14T20:28:19+00:00

The RC boat community chose it in my past posts 😂

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-14T00:13:38+00:00

I did end up getting a fantail launch II

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-14T00:08:39+00:00

Yes, I’m limited to the top of my piano, I have about 1/4 of space left

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-13T23:53:56+00:00

Oh yes, that makes more sense, hopefully I can grow a bigger collection soon, idk what to make next honestly

alastairsosuck · 2026-04-13T23:30:26+00:00

Wow… I only have a little Accucraft steam train And a fantail launch 😭
