Filler post: a holy grail

I have not posted here for a while, since I have been mainly occupied with making ships, but stumbled across this video today and had to post about it to let others know. It's from eight years ago, but I suspect that many others will be like me and never have seen it.


"You can even smell the haggis in it." Superb.

I have ordered a can in each colour.

    1. Isn't it. Mind you, even if such a thing were possible, I think that I'd stick to attempting them from 'scratch'.
