Aaaand here I was, building away in blissful oblivion, leaving the part that made me start this build for last: Gandalf the white's hair.
Just as I finished, surprise. TLG in their infinite wisdom decided "You shall not use that part unless you make Gandalf or Santa. Or random old guy with beard." The bloody beard's glued to the hair.
Hence my China not-so-White fig.

31229 801025 Birmingham International Motor Show 1O15 0924 Manchester-Poole
Looks like the operating department were a bit stretched on this day 25th October 1980 which was the second Saturday of the Motor show at the NEC
March allocated 31229 was turned out for the 0924 Manchester to Poole between Birmingham and Reading. With so many additionals knocking around it was a fair bet something unusual would turn up.
Regardless of how one feels about pleading for help at intersections, this phenomenon is here to stay and that makes it cultural. Thanks for having a look!
The spring is just about beginning here. Vegetation shows no signs of anything green though, so I had to. :D
Oh... The focusing thing. Many of you probably know this stuff but maybe it will help someone. So how do I make sure what I want is in focus?
Here is how I generally work when doing FDT shots:
1. Set up the tripod and the camera, adjust the angle, zoom, aperture, shutter speed etc. Set the time release. Make sure the tripod is well locked (all the adjustments tightened) so the camera will not move.
2. Focus. I usually use the auto focus in live-view to focus on something that is where I'm going to be. If there is nothing to focus on on my soon to be face-down spot, I will put something there (glove, bag, stick or anything that's easy to focus to). After that I'll use the enlargement function (kind of a zoom in thing but without using the zoom on the lens) to see that the spot I wanted to be in focus is in focus. Adjust the focus manually if needed. Sometimes I just have to focus all manually if my chosen focus point is too near the edge of the frame (my camera has a limitation there).
3. Turn the lens to manual focus (if it isn't already). This is the key part! As I have focused the camera previously where I want it, this makes sure the auto focus doesn't mess up my efforts.
4. Take a preliminary test shot and examine it. Adjust shutter speed if it's too bright or dark (maybe aperture too). If the focus is off, go back to focusing.
5. Take the FDT shot. Examine it. If it's no good, go back to the step that needs correcting. (Yes, if I see a problem that's related to step number one, I'm likely to do them all again, although usually it will be quicker.)
6. Pack your stuff up. Go home. Edit.
So the focusing part is steps 2 and 3, but I just had to write the whole routine... (OCD I guess...) Generally the key is to set the camera on manual focus so the auto focus can't mess it up.
Oh:
4½. Change to the clothing you want to be in your shot. Usually I don't really change or like today, I took some of my clothing and the boots off. (It was really not that warm yet.)
5½ Change back to the clothing you had. Usually means I'll put my coat etc. back on.
So... I hope you found this at least amusing if not that informative. :)
The counters suggest that this might have hit the explore... Here's a message:

Anything to do with pirates and I am in! Though I had not heard this before and find it very intriguing, especially considering by the War of 1812 our Navy was outnumbered 40 to 1!
When I was a kid my mother gave me a book of true facts for Christmas and I was instantly fixated on random, useless trivia and true facts. I used to read the Trivial Pursuit cards on road trips (nerd alert), and to this day I still have a passion for the unusual and bizarre factoids.

Year Seventeen Of My 365 Project
A US Army Utah Air National Guard Boeing AH-64A Apache arrives to join several others at West Jordan ANG Base just outside Salt Lake City back in 1996
The Apache is probably the most feared western helicopter of all time with an extraordinary amount of fire-power.
Without even pointing the helicopter at the target, that chin mounted gun can be fired from all directions simply by the crew using their helmet-mounted sights to look at the enemy position and the amount of rockets and missiles this killing machine can unleash is not even worth thinking about!
There is simply no-place to hide when an Apache arrives on scene.
