Find the 1/700 scale model battleship turret that I dropped
Nice work!
It took me over a half hour to find it when I dropped it. This picture is about 1/4 the area I was searching in. I had a wider shot originally, but at that scale, the image compression made the piece unidentifiable.
Sorry, can I get a circle please? I absolutely can not see it and I’d still like to sleep at night
Even having it circled, I don't see anything that I'd call a turret.
edit: my highest comment in years is about me not seeing something. Appropriate.
Yeah, that's maybe PART of a turret but that's not a turret.
Looks more like one of the shells.
Too big to be a shell, I think it's bigger than the 1/350th 16" shell that came with a model I built when I was younger. It also doesn't look smooth, which a shell would be.
My guess would be it's an AA gun, or maybe a paravane that is supposed to sit on the side of a turret.
It's 1/700th the normal size the ship would be
It's the barrel of the gun that'll be attached to the turret.
All i see are Pekinese and yetis.
Hahaha!! Yesss!! I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing a shit ton of dogs 😂
Your comment made this pointless exercise worthwhile.
Grey Gremlins dressed in kaftans and turbans.
And hairs, several hairs.
Yep I saw those too.
Bro didn’t tell us we were looking for something no bigger than any of the fibers in the carpet or the mountain of hair they desperately need to vacuum. This isn’t hidden because it blends well, it’s hidden because it’s much smaller than you’d expect.
Yeah, even if I saw it, I would think it was another piece of detritus on the floor. Like a nail clipping or something.
1/700 is pretty small
Like smaller than fine pencil lead.
It's because it's not a turret, it's one barrel of a gun that makes up a turret, making this a crap post because most folks are looking for a certain shape with two or three barrels sticking out of it.
Even knowing it’s just a barrel, looking at it, it does not look like a barrel either.
It looks like a 3d print of a cat’s toenail
There's no way I would've saw that.
The original image you posted through Reddit has a lower resolution than the image you posted on imgur. Anyone know why?
I don't know the "why" but if you download the image it's a much higher resolution than shown in the android app.
You are right! That explains why I've been struggling with this sub since I found it recently. Download ftw!
It's more a single howitzer barrel, if you were looking for something more like multiple barrels on a swivelling turret mount.
That’s exactly what I was expecting- two barrels on a swivel head
So soon?
That would spoil the fun.
OK Don't look at the spoiler if you don't want to see.
Jesus, thank you. I was looking for something bigger!
lol yeah, I had an entirely different vision in my head of what it would look like.
All I saw was pubes and hair everywhere. No turret..
I thought I was stupid for a second
Wow, I was off. I zoomed in too far so the piece pixelated and that made it blend in more
Next time put a sock over the vacuum hose and it’ll pick it up without it getting sucked into the vacuum.
Brilliant
Honestly though in this case that may not be enough. This turret is as small as carpet fibre. If that sock streches it may go right through
even with the address it took me a while to see! well done
Lots of hair and fur but no turret…wait a sec…1/700th scale?? 🤦🏼♂️
dude i thought there was nothing there like just picture of carpet but it be there
Wow, I thought it was a joke post
OP couldn’t actually find it until you pointed it out.
Good god that’s tiny
That's what she said 😭
F6
I see a pube.
the contact lens trick might help! pop a pantyhose on the end of you vacuum hose and go over the area
edit for tights spelling 😂
Thanks, that’s a solid tip that I will be trying next time this happens!
the contact lens trick might help! pop a panty hoes
*hose
Hoes is thems what takes all my moneys
Started looking for the rattle snake and frog because I got bored of not finding the turret.
I just want to know how they got inside the home.
why can i see the hairs on the carpet but not this thing... you're just gonna have to go over the area gently with your palm 😄
For real. I need OP to vacuum that carpet.
Had to leave the hairs for scale
The finger/toe nail too?
Oof, you’re not the first person to comment about seeing a nail, I keep looking but can’t find it for the life of me 😂
There's also a random drop of water or tiny contact lens or domed plastic dot, upper left.
Also what looked like either a drop of water or a contact lense
Yup! I found that, too! Haha.
Ooof this sub needs a warning for those with OCD triggers. Got me grabbing the vacuum for all my hobby areas jic I drop a turret. 🤣
It is a really tiny naval gun barrel.
i finally found it. had to zoom waaaaay in. 1/3 the size of a carpet loop. oh man.
What is that? A turret for ants?
Should be at least 3x that size
It's also a secondary gun turret (the side guns), not the main gun turret. I was looking for the big turret...
until i see a photo of it circled, im fully adamant that this is a troll 😭 ive been searching for 5 minutes
I opened the link. Zoomed in and audibly went “oh get fucked” haha. I’m glad you found it, I thought dropping a helmet from a 40K model was bad!
Even with the circle I still don't see it
It's this absolutely miniscule little sliver of gray, dead center of that circle pointing to the right. Don't look for a gun shape - it's like a sliver of toenail
I see it now but that could literally be anything. Nothing about that tiny cluster of pixels indicates a turret.
Just get a blank screen with that link
I never would have seen it if you didn’t circle it lol
It was a really hard one. Even circled I couldn’t go back and find it.
Doesnt help the compression on the reddit image is shit compared to the imgur image.
Wow that thing is TINY!
This sub makes me sick
This is about to be the only sub I filter because of feelings of inadequacy and shame lol
I’ve found every hair follicle but no turret.
No luck…some rough “sees” when you lose a turret.
googles turret “Hmmmmm”
googles battleship “Oooooh ok”
googles model “Barbara Palvin? Hmmm”
*Crowflier has left the chat
Pro tip: use a flashlight and have it against the floor. That way it’ll hopefully cast a nice long shadow for you to more easily identify it!
So much hair so few battleship turrets!
Found it https://imgur.com/a/n7SsyYL
Just to the left of the snow leopard.
More importantly how did a frog and rattlesnake get inside your home….
I gave up. I even goggled what it was. My eyes couldn’t focus. This one is 10/10 hard.
Less of a challenge, more of a plea for help.
Honestly
That’s why I only use the 1/600. The 1/700 are too hard to find
That would make a fun 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. And by fun I mean cursed.
Just realized that if I drop something on the ground and I can't find it, I'll just take a picture and post it here.
I found some hair
Oh I feel your pain, got the same exact carpet pattern in my house
Toughest one I have personally seen on this sub, I love it!
This one wasn't posted a challenge but as a plea for help 😂
I either need coordinates or this person banned!
Peace to OP.
Found the turret, didn't find the vacuum.
I hate this subreddit, that being said, I’ll be back later for more punishment.
I misread it as “turtle” and boy what a mistake that was.
Crackheads gonna start posting photos of their living room carpet… “Find the white rock”
I don’t know dude I cheated and looked in the comments and I still can’t find it
After looking at this for 10 minutes, I now hate the way carpet looks.
VACUUM PLEASE
Damn that's small
Can you circle it for me? I can’t find it
Hardest one I’ve seen yet
Sweet lord that’s tiny
Going top to bottom its right at the middle it's about 1/3 way over from the right. That is the tiniest piece of gray plastic. I would never have found that in real life.
Good one!
This is a good one
Holy crap that was impossible! I had to cheat.
good one, relatively easier to spot because of the texture difference
That thing is tiny!
The turret looks like a very tiny screw. Took me forever because i wasn't sure what to look for. This was also my first time zooming in on someone else's carpet lol many hairs were found! 😂
Sad to say, but I’ve found more stray hairs on your carpet than model battleship turrets.
Top left of bottom right quarter (1/4) of image
Ok, this one was near impossible. I need MORE!
If I was barefoot, I might have found it!
I still find small airplane parts from years ago 😅
My lord this is a good one
I saw it but didn’t realize that’s what I was looking for. That’s 1/700th scale?
Yeah, in hindsight I should’ve added a second pic with the piece alone so people knew what to look for
easy. built too much gunpla to fail this one. the correct answer? it bounced back onto your desk somehow.
Hardest I've ever tried, and I failed once again.
I found it pretty quickly luckily. Zooming in on this and scrolling was giving me anxiety like I was looking at a giant wasp nest or something lol. I’m usually horrible at these. Glad you found it, looks like a pain to find that tiny thing
This was a really tough one! I'm usually pretty good at these. But I had no frame of reference for what it was supposed to look like. I still barely can tell what it is even after looking at the spoilers.
Ovo I saw it...but my brain went. "That's just a color on the carpet." Also my eyes kept going for the hair I could see.
Couldn’t find the turret however I did find a lot of hair tho
I feel like I just stared at this for 5 minutes while someone else is getting a chuckle at my stupidity.
OP turns to Reddit, for they themselves cannot find it
Hey OP from someone that is in 40K and Gunpla if you ever have this issue what you can do is with your vacuum put a sock over the hose and vacuum over the carpet a few times with that. Tends to pick up those small pieces most of the time.
EDIT: Vacuum with the hose that has a sock over the opening not... Like the vacuum cleaner itself.
Am I the only one that gets the impression that OP doesn't actually know, dropped and lost it, and we are just finding it for them?
I swear I suck at these!!! All I found were some hairs.. Lol
I have that exact same carpet and hate it
Nope. Got tired of looking at your hair. Real quick.
This has happened to me so often while assembling Warhammer minis I just give up after a cursory glance now. I have to tell people “Just imagine this guy had a plasma pistol”.
I know you had to find it but why did I also have to find it?
Please vacuum sir
Would’ve been quicker to make a new one.
Yeah . Started looking.. then saw a few questionable hairs on the carpet... I'm out
One thing you can do in the future is put pantyhose over a vacuum hose and vacuum the area. Hopefully you’ll find it on the pantyhose on the vacuum.
I feel like I already know you too well after staring at that carpet
I found what appears to be a gray screw right of center, which I suspected is a gun (not a whole turret). I also lost count of all the hairs I found.
I looked at this so long that I started seeing shapes in the carpet pattern 😬😵💫
Yeah, after seeing where OP posted where it was, this one seems a bit unfair with how difficult it was. I was struggling to see it, zoomed in, and knowing where to look. Also it's the barrel of the turret, which is worth noting since it makes it very different to search for.
Hope the model turned out well, though!
I didn't find it, but I did find a shit ton of hair strands in your rug.
I found more hair than the item haha. Took Me a while 🤣
Under the dresser in the other room
I build scale model kits and this is basically what I spend half my time doing.
What is this? A turret for ants?!
I'm building a 1/350 destroyer escort. Yeah, probably 10 percent of the turrets and ammo batteries have "been lost in battle." Gray flectone carpet here .... 🤦
If I could use my bare foot, I'd find it in one second!
I don’t do well with these magic eye posters
Found a pube faster.
Looks like a gun barrel, not a turret
Don’t tell me what to do!
Find it yourself.
I found hair
So much hair!
The real battleship is the friends we made along the way
Clean all that hair off your rug
Is that piece the body of a AA gun for the Trumpeter Graf Zeppelin 1:700? That turret shape is familiar.
I haven’t found it but it’s clear your dog is shedding
I feel like I just watched an episode of the Forensic Files.
The real question is do YOU know where it’s at?
No
Nahh, I cheated for this one. I have to play this game enough with my own bits as it is 😂
I’m a model maker and I do this all the time :(
You'll find it walking to the bathroom tomorrow night
That was very small
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we don't do crafts of carpet.
Too many pubes. Can’t find.
I finally found it after counting 7 pubic hairs.
How to gain karma? Like this comment please.
The fact that I’ve been searching this for 5 minutes now and I can see each individual strand of the carpet, but cannot find the turret, makes me very upset…
take my angry upvote and live in peace…
Lot of pubes
Lots of hairs.
You dick did you just take a pic of the carpet? I’m too high for this
Found a pube
I found a pubic hair middle top. I gotta win something for that, right?
No, but I found several hairs and a toenail clipping. Does that help.
Not sure about that turret, there’s a hair that’s distracting me.
I just so happened to zoom directly into it. I feel like that definitely should’ve been harder than it was lol
I did not find the turret...however, I saw at least 3 hairs.
I hate how much time I waste on these. Keep ‘em coming.
Aaaaand there goes an hour of my life
I see some hair
Pretty sure I zoomed into the quantum realm and I still can’t find it
Next time, take some painters tape and start dabbing the carpet
Dude that thing is tinyyyy😂
Tough one!
