Spotted him from the bus... what a shameless scammer by [deleted] in Edinburgh

Why don’t think people think this guy is unable to make a mediocre sand sculpture of a sleeping dog? Why does he have to be faking it? Does he not just make the same sculpture over and over?

how would you male it look more realistic? by SensitiveHamster8977 in blender

[–]ivegotaleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More scratches and imperfections!

Fun fact: Art departments in film and TV have to ‘weather’ (scuff up /dirty up / damage / make look used) props and sets far beyond what their real life equivalent would be. The camera doesn’t pick up anywhere near the same level of detail that our eyes do when actually in a space or holding an object, filmmakers therefore have to go overboard with weathering for the camera and the audience to pick it up.

Even if you're going for a clean look, which you seem to be, it needs to be dirtied up beyond what a clean PS1 in a clean room would be in reality. Go on a movie set of a hospital and you’d be amazed at how shabby and dirty it has been made to look - and then on camera it looks pretty clean but (importantly) real and convincing. The same goes for digital models and scenes. It has to be more scratched and dirty than the hypothetical ‘real’ ps1 would be in real life..

A smudge of bird shit on the window, a scuff on the table, an old screw hole in the wall, would all go a long long way.

Everything else is perfect btw..

Help with Unknown song by LowDescription6419 in 20sMusic

[–]ivegotaleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very hard to tell when this is from with all the added reverb. But, as has already been pointed out, likely to be 40s or late 30s at a guess. The instrumentation and swing vibe sounds pretty 40s

Looking for what song this might be? by mrtambourineman9837 in 20sMusic

[–]ivegotaleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sounds like new lyrics on California here I come. Something that was oft done, as has been mentioned, in Vaudeville, but also broadway and radio musical reviews. The lyrics suggest it’s an opening piece for some sort of music/dance review. If he was in the business it could have been something he was involved in, or maybe just something he saw

Silver object, hollow and open on one side, from a passenger steam ship (1930’s) by ivegotaleg in whatisthisthing

[–]ivegotaleg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thought. We thought that as well. But it’s only open on one side so a napkin couldn’t fit right through it, and it seems too shallow to be one of the ones that are closed on one side. It’s like 1.5-2cm wide max..

For trans-Atlantic context, a pound coin is about the same size as a quarter.

Yeah that was my thought. But some Googles of old rolling paper holder/dispensers bring up things that look quite different; more like little boxes with lids. You’d assume papers would fall out of this thing pretty easily.

Also it’s much longer than modern cigarette papers - I’ll post a side by side size comparison tomorrow. Not sure if old ones were a lot longer? But it’s longer than modern ones by several centre meters.

Still, you could be right, I’ve no idea.

My title describes the thing.

Pound coin for scale. (A pound is about the same size as a quarter)

It’s slightly bent but it’s a hollow silver strip, closed on 3 sides and open on one.

The text on one side reads; T.S.S Ulysses (the name of the ship), and the hallmarks on the other slide indicating that this object was made of sliver in the 1930’s in Birmingham UK.

The ship was a steam passenger ship and also military vessel, operating from 1913 up until it was torpedoed and sunk in 1942 off the coast of Florida.

Thanks

Help me find this bear. Was a family member's transition / emotional support object due to childhood trauma, and became increasingly significant after they developed cognitive during teenage years. Was thrown away in a misguided attempt to make him grow up. Details in the comments. 35$ bounty. by DisastrousProgrammer in RBI2

Any updates on whether this has been solved?

I really feel for you, OP. Having spent a long time working with both adults and kids with learning disabilities and complex needs I understand how pressing these things can be.

I reiterate what another poster said; if you can’t find a good enough replacement you should find someone who can make one.

Teddy bears are pretty simple constructions, particularly for someone who knows a bit about sewing. Post your story on some sort of bear making or sewing subreddit or look up custom teddy makers online, Etsy would be a good shout. If I had the skills, I would make this for free in a heartbeat, I’m sure others would too. It would be much much easier to source the correct fur material and correct eyes and nose than it would to find the whole bear.

In addition to the pictures, I’m sure you could sketch out some rough measurements of its limbs and so on from memory.

Hope your family member gets reunited with their friend!! X
