I guess I was having a Bill Gates moment. Or, really, I should say Charles O'Rear. Granted, my hills weren't rolling anywhere except towards me.
Seen attending the Southsea Spectacular Bus Rally in June 1998 is Thamesdown Dennis Dominator / East Lancs H45/31F 77 F606RPG. This bus was new to London Country (South West) in 1989.

It goes out quite a lot, which is a very nice thing for us car enthusiasts. Seeing one is such a privilege!

So I hit 77 followers a few days ago, yet I forgot to upload this picture. I want to say thanks for 77 followers (cause, well, Schwa77), and I have a couple questions I'd like you to answer and two announcements!
1. What is your favorite purist minifigure I've made?
2. What is your favorite brick-built bigfig I've made?
3. What is your favorite non-purist minifigure I've made?
4. What is your favorite non-figure MOC I've made?
5. What is your favorite custom 3D printed minifig/bigfig I've made?
6. What do you want to see from this page?
I'm sure the first one will make people extremely upset, but I am announcing the cancellation of all of my LDD projects for the foreseeable future for one simple reason: I just don't like building in LDD. I infinitely prefer building with normal bricks. So I'm sorry if this upsets you, but it's for my own good.
Now for the good news: new contest! I know the Noir one has yet to end, so this starts the moment I announce the winners for that. In honor of 77-->1977 being the release year for the original Star Wars movie, the contest is to make Star Wars mashup characters (basically combine a Star Wars character with a preexisting non-Star Wars character, or reimagine a preexisting character in the Star Wars universe)! Please do not upload pics until after the Noir contest, but feel free to start building!
Thanks again, everyone!
Lets hit 100 followers!
I don't like uploading pictures if I don't really like them but I havent had much time these days :/ The good thing is that inally holidays are here and I'll have one week for thinking and planning cool photos
Went to the castle today. The sun set too quickly for much of a shoot, though.
However, got to play with the new lenses.
For some reason number seven became a favourite number in my family. However, I confess that I prefer it as a single digit occurrence.
Something different today featuring one of my favourite Jamaican tunes of all time. The album of the same name was released in 1977 and included the classic title track single linked below.

New York Bureau.And Little Children Line The Rail. France - A huge crowd of 1600 residents of Grandcamp, Little Normandy town, gathered in the main square to help Yank troops of occupation celebrate Independence Day. It was a day of independence for the French inhabitants also. Suffering under the heel of the ruthless Nazis for four years, Grandcamp is grateful to the Americans who liberated them. Town was the first freed by the Yanks. Note the little children lined on the rail anxious to see the celebration. Credit: ACME photo by Bert Brandt, War Pool Correspondent. Date: 7-9-44
Bureau de New York. Des petits enfants alignés derrière une balustrade. France - Une foule immense de 1600 résidents de Grandcamp, petite ville normande, se sont réunis sur la place principale avec les troupes américaines pour célébrer le Jour de l'Indépendance américaine, le 4 juillet 1944. C'était un jour d'indépendance pour les habitants français aussi. Souffrant sous le talon des nazis impitoyables durant quatre ans, les habitants de Grandcamp sont reconnaissants aux Américains qui les ont libérés. La ville a été la première ville libérée par les Américains. Notez les petits enfants alignés sur le muret qui ont hâte de voir la cérémonie. Crédit: ACME photo par Bert Brandt. Date: 9 juillet 1944.
Commentaires :
La ville a été libérée le 9 juin en fin d'après-midi et n'est pas la première ville libérée par les Américains.
Compte tenu de la date de la photo, la prise de vue doit dater du 4 juillet, jour de l'Independence Day.
La scène se passe place de la République, devant la mairie voir de nos jours :

Les enfants chantent l'hymne britannique le God save the King, ce qui est cocasse pour fêter leurs libérateurs américains, est-ce le même jour ?
