Rebor produces a wide range of prehistoric figures and collectibles, with their Oddities line consisting of limited edition, unusual and original items. This newest addition is the “Extinction” Statue, which I purchased in the stunning Renaissance Bronze color scheme. Originally drafted as a mockup design for April Fools’ Day, the model was based on the Philosoraptor meme – an advice animal image series featuring an illustration of a Velociraptor paired with captions depicting the dinosaur deeply immersed in metaphysical inquiries or unraveling quirky paradoxes. The demand was so great for the fictional item, though, that Rebor decided to make the statue a reality!

The piece is reminiscent of Hugo Rheinhold’s famous work “Affe mit Schädel,” which depicts a common chimpanzee sitting atop a pile of books and manuscripts while holding a skull. Rheinhold was likely inspired by Rodin’s “The Thinker” — a famous statue that was part of a larger commission entitled “The Gates of Hell,” based on “The Divine Comedy” by Italian poet Dante Alighieri. Interestingly, that same book is one of the numerous volumes upon which the Velociraptor is perched. 📚

This online model shop that I check pretty regularly because they specialize in horse models got a shipment in from rebor so now they just have lonesome george and velociraptor fetus wet specimen listed between all the horsies

The Paris Gun (German: Paris-Geschütz / Pariser Kanone) was the name given to a type of German long-range siege gun, several of which were used to bombard Paris during World War I. They were in service from March to August 1918. When the guns were first employed, Parisians believed they had been bombed by a high-altitude Zeppelin, as the sound of neither an airplane nor a gun could be heard. As military weapons, the Paris Guns were not a great success: the payload was small, the barrel required frequent replacement, and the guns' accuracy was good enough for only city-sized targets. The German objective was to build a psychological weapon to attack the morale of the Parisians, not to destroy the city itself. The shells were propelled at such a high velocity that each successive shot wore away a considerable amount of steel from the rifled bore. Each shell was sequentially numbered according to its increasing diameter, and had to be fired in numeric order, lest the projectile lodge in the bore and the gun explode. Also, when the shell was rammed into the gun, the chamber was precisely measured to determine the difference in its length: a few inches off would cause a great variance in the velocity, and with it, the range. Then, with the variance determined, the additional quantity of propellant was calculated, and its measure taken from a special car and added to the regular charge. After 65 rounds had been fired, each of progressively larger caliber to allow for wear, the barrel was sent back to Krupp and rebored with a new set of shells.

My Mississippi rifle is an interesting reproduction.

The originals from 1841 were in .54 caliber and issued round ball. In 1855 when the US adopted the .58 caliber Minie Ball bullet they took most of the stock and rebored the M1841's from .54 to .58. Thats where my reproduction fits in. M1841's built after 1855 had the ladder sights that Springfield and Enfields had. Before that it was just a rear V notch block and a brass front post which is what mine has. After 1855 they also had a bayonet lug and a brass handled sword bayonet.

Mine was made in about 1965ish from Zoli, an Italian manufacturer. It's a nice 1:1 example of the M1841 made before 1855 but rebored for .58 cal and its stamped C.S.A. on the patch box like many of them were after being used by the Confederates.

I love it.

I got a mold to make minieballs, I also got 300 roundball. It's just a very good firing, accurate civil war repro with a ton of brass on it.

I know I post this a lot but I did a ton of research to pin down why the reproduction was this version and not other examples.

I love though that 180 years later surviving M1841 rifles are still be shot and exist in collections.

I should say this thing is 4 feet long with a 33 inch barrel.

View under the hammer on a Javelle Revolver that has twice been converted from pinfire to use rimfire ammunition. The lower hole was from the first conversion and it was intended to accommodate a spur that was welded to the hammer to serve as a firing pin.  That did not work quite right so I had it converted again, more professionally.  At the top, you see a striker for an internal firing pin that works well.  I also had the barrel sleeved and rebored so it shoots reasonably well.  All this work of course reduced the value significantly from what it would have had in original condition, but it can be shot with modern ammunition.

After adding a hatchling Deinosuchus to my collection last year, it was time to bring the adult into the mix and Rebor most definitely delivered! Nicknamed “Meta,” this 1:35 scale replica of Deinosuchus hatcheri is based on the actual extinct reptile and measures almost 18 inches long. And as an added bonus, the Estuary Version Deluxe Pack comes with the severed upper body of a drowned Appalachiosaurus for the killer croc to proudly display in its jaws!

Distantly related to modern alligators, Deinosuchus translates as “terrible crocodile.” With the largest adults reaching up to 35 feet in length, this massive apex predator stalked both sides of the Western Interior Seaway during the late Cretaceous period. And while scientists believe it fed on sea turtles and fish, they also theorize that it was probably capable of killing and eating large dinosaurs as well! 🐊

The Gadgeteer, a New Shadowrun Archetype from White Wolf Magazine (1990)

The commentary identifies as a he, but the artwork has bewbz, so… need to watch that copy editing. In the introduction, Stephan states that he/she is “loosely based on characters in the fiction of William Gibson”, as if that didn’t apply to most Shadowrun archetypes.

Watch it there, fleshbag.

Specifically, for those Gibson-inclined, they are based upon The Finn from the Sprawl Series (Neuromancer, Burning Chrome, Count Zero). They take the breadth rather than depth approach to skills, not having a single rating above 4, but having 12 overall (and 5 of those being Build/Repair skills). These are supplemented by a pile of Knowledge & B/R skillsofts and the accompanying headware (Chipjack, Datajack, Headware Memory, Display Link, Datasoft Link) to use them, though they do have a Commlink-IV that they cannot use because…

…they don’t have a headware telephone or radio. Oops.

Useful or Useless?

Despite the unnecessary cyberware, this is a useful archetype, though really needs to be part of a larger team to get full use of their skills and equipment. 

Need to rebore that heavy pistol for Firepower™ ammo and add a reactive trigger? The Gadgeteer can do that (Firearms (B/R) 4). 

GM using the Cyberware Damage rules from the Street Samurai Catalog and need to fix those retractable hand razors between runs? The Gadgeteer can do that (Biotech (B/R) 4 and a Microtronics Workshop).

Looking for someone whose footsteps are like whispers and kills from the shadows? The Gadgeteer can’t do that, but the next archetype...

The main purpose of the reboring machine is to enlarge the holes to make smooth and precise holes in the workpiece.
