Here is a fairly young rubbish compactor station provided by Veolia to a homemakers shopping centre in Artarmon. The big blue Wastech hook lift container has been there for a while and receives cardboard recycling from a stationary auger compactor. On the other hand, the mini hook portable blade compactor had only just been delivered and installed for mixed waste, which I’m sure consists mostly of plastic packaging. The 1100L on the left was part of a small group of bins awaiting removal after being replaced by the mini packer, they would sit under that pair of grey chutes coming out of the wall. In this photo you also get a look at the independent power system which allows the mini packer to function, sitting just to the left of it. Usually the motor, pump and hydraulics are all integrated into portable packer units, but this mini packer (I guess due to its small size) has the drive system existing externally as a separate system. In most cases the collection worker disconnects a single electrical plug when removing portable units, but in this situation the driver has to disconnect the “packer in place” plug and also unhooks two hydraulic lines, seen sitting just above the red bucket which is there to catch any hydraulic fluid that drips out.
The confluence of the Rivers Llynfi and Ogmore, Aberkenfig, South Wales. Taken with a compact camera back in a snowy early March 2018.
First finished attempt to create as compact as possible 2-seater car using 2-seater detail (30149) back from Adventurers' theme. Idea came a year ago while playing with real bricks & now I returned to rethink first trials
The car was created to be stable. According to this placement of wheels the clearance can be lowered with one plate hight. I will test it in some streetracer tuned cars. But even so it's not enough to match the minifigure scale and car hight. We all knew that fact before. So I made the car's shape & ptoportions look like real to minimize this effect a bit
I haven't used LDD for half-year & was amazed with coming of new details. Finally this car was painted red to fit the really existing bricks (black & white also possible for this parts kit) but I liked medium/dark azur more
Hope for more such stuff to build)

Compact Battle Rifle (CBR) variant of M7.
The amount of gunpowder isn't so much, which means it has a very low recoil.
Pretty darn accurate due to obvious facts.

For the folks at GC, obviously it will be used at later times. So there is no need to be upset. K? K.

I have to admit that last time i really don't know how to take this little cute guy.Now hopefully it is better.Shot this at Mabul house reef under Seaventures rig.Inon D2000 + Inon M165.
another 0.6 pistol. i've decided that the only thing i can do in 0.6 is pistols, none of my rifles come out very good.
Made in France ... nicht China oder eine andere fernöstliche Herkunft, wie man vielleicht – vorurteilsbeladen – beim Anblick solcher Plastik-Geräte denkt. Porst ließ sich diese Kassettenkamera Ende der 1970er in Frankreich fertigen, das Original hieß Fex Indo 126 EL compact.
Erstaunlich ist die sehr ordentliche Verarbeitung: nichts scheppert oder quietscht oder passt nicht. Die Rückwand z. B. rastet ohne das geringste Spiel ein, auch der Transporthebel wackelt nicht im geringsten. Der Auslöser funktioniert fast wie die Sensor-Taste von Agfa: Bei moderatem Fingerdruck wird (offensichtlich durch Federdruck) der Verschluss betätigt.
Vergessen sollte man aber die fingierten Belichtungsmesser-Zellen, die ebenso wie die "Serien-Nummer" des Objektivs eine höhere Klasse vortäuschen sollen. Auch der Blitzschuh wirkt wie nachträglich aufgesetzt, an dieser Stelle war bei einem Schwestermodell ein Blitzwürfel-Sockel.
Das Fixfokus-Objektiv hat die Lichtstärke 8 und eine Brennweite von 45 mm. Die Bedienungsanleitung sagt dazu: Mit dem Schnappschußobjektiv Ihrer Kamera gelingen scharfe Aufnahmen von 1,5 m bis unendlich. Die besten Aufnahmen werden im Schnappschußbereich (1,5–3 m) gemacht. Dafür ist Ihre Kamera speziell eingerichtet.
Die Belichtungseinstellungen sind überraschend vielfältig, zumindest für diese Art Aufnahmegerät: "Sonne" bedeutet 1/150 s und Blende 11, "Wolke" stellt 1/100 u. Blende 8 ein und "Blitz" lässt es bei Blende 8, aber mit 1/50 s.
Der Preis des Sets (Kamera, Schlaufe, Film) war 49,- DM im Jahr 1979.
Zum Abschluss der Begrüßungstext der Bedienungsanleitung:
Sie haben eine Kassetten-Kamera gekauft, mit der Sie ganz einfach gute Bilder machen können. Die Kamera ist so klein, daß sie nicht nur in jede Tasche paßt, sondern auch im vollsten Handschuhfach noch Platz findet. Sie sind also in jeder Situation schußbereit und man wird Ihre Schnappschüsse bewundern.
Da lassen wir uns doch gerne bewundern. ;-)
honda motocompo on display at the virginia british motorcycle club rallye - 10.01.06
the motocompo (ncz50) was an air-cooled, one-cylinder, 2-stroke, 49cc scooter, produced by honda from 1981 to 1985. it was never sold individually (nor in the u.s.), but rather as an option for the honda "city" motor car, and was designed to fold up and fit in the trunk. in total, 53,369 units were produced, with a price tag of 80,000 yen (around $675). the motocompo was available in caribbean red, shetland white, and daisy yellow.
I saw this little Superior Pak self contained hook lift compactor at the local shopping centre of the western suburb of Belbowrie. I reckon its an auger type, but not fully sure. Can't remember who owned it, but it was either TPI or Sita.
Here we have it, one of the most iconic little cars in the whole of history. A machine that revolutionised the concept of the city car, and what has now become a pure symbol of Englishness!
This little machine is simply known as the Mini! :D
Construction of the Mini first began in 1959, with the car designed by the British Motor Corporation's (BMC) chief designer Sir Alec Issigonis, who envisaged a car that had as much space as was humanly possible devoted to the passenger so as to combine the practicality of a big car with the nippy nature of a Dune Buggy. The result was that 80% of the car's platform was available for use by both passengers and luggage. The car was also designed to be fuel efficient, built in response to the 1956 Suez Crisis which resulted in rising fuel prices and petrol rationing. During this period it became apparent that German 'Bubble Car' equivalents such as the Heinkel Kabine and various Messerschmitt designs were starting to corner the market, and thus the Mini project was launched under project name ADO15 (Amalgamated Drawing Office project number 15). Great care was taken to make sure that as much space was saved for the passenger, including the instalment of compact rubber springs instead of conventional metal and the small but powerful BMC A-Series four-cylinder engine tucked away at the front.
In April 1959 the car was launched to the press under the designation of both the Austin Seven and the Morris Mini-Minor (due to the amalgamation of the Austin and Morris brands under BMC). By the time the car was let loose thousands had already been sent abroad in an audacious promotional campaign. Things however started slow for the Mini, but this rising star soon became an icon during the 1960's, selling 1,190,000 by 1967.
But, behind all the shining sales figures, there were some major problems for BMC and their wonderchild. Baffled by the car, Ford bought one for the base price of £497 and took it apart, desperate to know how their rivals were doing it for the money. As it turns out they weren't, and were able to determine that BMC was losing at least £30 on every single car they sold. Novelty was the only way to get the car properly moving in this competitive new world, and the Mini was all about that. By 1970 the car had appeared in a variety of movies and TV shows, the most famous of which was their charge to glory in the 1969 film 'The Italian Job', where a trio of Minis were used to plunder gold from under the noses of the Mafia and the Italian Authorities. A Leyland Mini holds a place in the heart of British TV under the ownership of Mr. Bean and his various clumsy antics, usually involving an unfortunate Reliant Regal. At the same time it was a car of choice for TV and Music Stars who wanted to show off their quirks!
From then on the car continued to keep up its notorious status as a British symbol of motoring, with a huge variety of cars being made including a spacious van, a country camper, a pickup truck and the Moke dune buggy! There were also two almost identical saloon versions of the car known as the Wolseley Hornet and the Riley Elf that were built between 1961 and 1969 as more luxurious alternatives to the original.
In 1969 the first major facelift came in the form of the Clubman, designed under British Leyland to give the car a new lease of life, but ended up being something of a mongrel. Although functionally the same, the boys at British Leyland couldn't help but get things off to a bad start by relocating construction from the Cowley Plant to the Longbridge Plant, which meant that all kits and tools had to be moved too and thus initial sales were very slow. British Leyland's reliability reputation was soon to follow, with the unfortunate Mini becoming a victim of the shoddy workmanship that had mired so many of its other products.
Eventually the Clubman was killed off in 1980, although the original Mini design had been built alongside and was still selling strong. British Leyland however had plans to kill off the Mini in 1980 by introducing its new small economy car, the Austin Metro. Built very much to the same principals of the Mini, the Metro was a much more angular design but still a capable little family hatchback. But the angular lines and big bulky body did nothing for the Metro, and the car failed to sell in the numbers domestically than those of the Mini internationally!
Towards the end of the 1980's and 1990's, the car came in a variety of different 'Special Editions' as the car became less of a mass-market machine and more a fashion item. The iconic nature of the car had sealed its fate with new owners of the Rover Group, BMW, who intended to keep the car going for as long as possible. At the same time the car was a major seller in Japan, which gave a boost of sales in the early 1990's with 40,000 new cars being exported there.
Eventually however, the design was starting to look very tired and with Rover Group making heavy losses, the Mini and its spiritual cousin the Metro were killed off in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Rover was granted the ability to run-out the model to the very end before Rover itself was sold off in 2000. During the breakup, BMW designed a new version of the Mini which was launched in 2000 and is still being built today as quite a sleek and popular machine, a little bit more bulky than the original but certainly keeping the novelty and charm. The originals however ended on the 4th October 2000, with a red Mini Cooper S bringing an end to 5,387,862 cars.
However, although the original Mini is now very much dead, the novelty that surrounds these tiny little cars is enough to keep thousands and thousands of these machines preserved or in continual everyday usage. Older Mini-Minors are a bit hard to come by and the Clubmans rusted away before you could get them home from the showroom, but the later Mini's sold in the 1980's and 1990's are still alive and kicking on the roads of Britain, and can still draw the attention of passers by even 56 years after the first ones left the production line!
