Photograph depicting basa's beautiful bolt replacing the crappy one that broke, sending her bike seat tumbling into a busy road where she had to retrieve it :(

YEAH BABY

Photograph depicting a crappy cheap bolt of some unknown alloy that almost got a beautiful lesbian killed when it snapped in half when she was cycling down a hill, and the flawless replacement she cut from a 15cm long stainless steel bolt that will at least get her home tonight

Bet you couldn't even tell the bolt another bottom had 10cm cut off the end huh
Also behold my beautiful stainless steel

Absolutely ridiculous bolt tho, it's an M8×45 but it was somehow made of such crappy material it snapped clean in half
Unfortunately it held my bike seat on so that flew off while I was trying to get to work
The new one is 304 stainless at least, it's not gonna go as easily lol

I always say "I'm not practially-minded" but then when a bolt in my bike got shorn in half, I cut a new one to length from one I found at work and filed a chamfer onto the end for a smooth fit
Only thing I couldn't replace was the spring washer so it's only a temporary replacement

So happy for you!!!

That was YOU!!

I only watch paleo drama on my own devices thank you very much!

It's been a terrible week, and it's only getting worse.

I hope you guys are reading my alt texts BTW, I put extra information that doesn't fit into my posts as well as a visual description, and I make jokes there sometimes too ❤️

Thank you so much!! It's a long way from where I want it but I'm proud of the progress at last!

Photograph depicting a "75mm scale" kitbashed Elster Mini from Signalis, sat on top of a classic metal stegadon from Warhammer fantasy that I happened to be working on at the same time. She doesn't seem nearly as thrilled as I would be to be sitting on a pint-sized dinosaur, but I suppose she misses her wide so I understand

Also cos I was photographing them both, here's Elster catching a ride on my stegadon lol

Photograph depicting a kitbashed "75mm" Elster miniature from Signalis. It's been extremely heavily customised from an entirely different mini to look as much like her as possible. Specifically the legs and chest plate in these images were modelled from milliputt, and had serious problems with rough surfaces and irregular shapes on account of me doing it entirely with my fingers and without vaseline to prevent fingerprinting and adhesion to my fingers. They have now been sanded down with fine-grit sandpaper, cleaned and repainted to provide a much better finish. Details can now be painted on top to show the ties etc.

A long-awaited but small update on my #signalis Elster diorama!
I didn't touch it for a few months bc I was pretty unhappy with the quality of my sculpting, I lacked both tools and experience
But I got some super fine-grit sandpaper and smoothed out my mistakes on the legs/chest and repainted!

Photograph depicting a classic metal stegadon, next to a classic metal skink priest, a unit of kroxigor and a unit of aggradon riders from Warhammer. The classic models are from the old warhammer fantasy range, the others are from Age of Sigmar. The fully painted riders, kroxigor and skink are teal/green, with more vibrant green on the smaller, softer skink and more blue-green on the larger, heavily armoured kroxigor. The kitbashed skirts of the stegadon are teal, to match the scheme of the other seraphim, on account of being otherwise albino

As a little add-on, I posed her next to my other finished seraphim minis!

Photograph depicting a classic metal stegadon, with the howdah removed and kitbashed golden armour on the head and fabric skirting on the sides and face The stegadon has been painted to look like it is both albino and extremely old, with lots of decorations to venerate it in its old age. This photo shows the animal from the front

Update on my classic stegadon!
Still really pleased with the albino skin, but I also made good progress on the fabric and the framework on the back!

Lots to do, but the animal itself is nearly finished! I think the base will try to look ornate without much ruin, but that's still to be decided!

A British crow is asking passersby if they're alright.

A black and white photo. NPS personnel appear to be using a recoilless rifle to attack a massive creature barrelling down the side of a snowy mountain like an avalanche. A second recoilless rifle, mounted on a car, is about to be devoured by its gaping maw.

In the 1950s, the US National Park Service acquired M27 recoilless rifles from the military.
Their stated use was to trigger controlled avalanches, but a recent analysis of ammunition purchases shows they used many times more rounds than necessary.
The NPS was hunting something.

Done primarily in a mix of epoxy putty and plastiline - over a crude polyclay/foil shape.

Special channels and cavities into which cultured organs and nerves are implanted, alongside stem cell cultures that grow to fill the space. The brain and face are probably fitted last

Their bodies, and there might be other glands/organelles that are still biological purely for convenience. That would also explain the presence of oxidant throughout the body, as organic cells still need oxygen
My own impression of replika manufacture would consist of mass-produced chassis, with...

Yeah I'm 100% in the "mostly mechanical" camp too. I would venture the limbs and torso are almost entirely mechanical, with even the brain not being 100% organic.
That said tho, to explain how they can react with human speed I would imagine they have an organic nervous system embedded throughout...
