Aight, this one's been in the works for a while. Started off as an IRL build that I transitioned into a digital build due to the usual lack of parts. I made this (I think) around the time I made the Fire station, but it's been in my mind since at least 2018, probably longer.
It's changed quite a bit since I first thought of it, it's more elaborate than it ever would have been if I'd done it IRL.
So, what's it got? Technically It's got four storey's but only the first three are usable as the roof is pretty packed due to how the digger buckets are connected. Back when I built this, I was building my Modular buildings a little bigger, hence why it's so tall.So the Ground floor is where the florist is, and the rest is the flat above. It's got a surprisingly big kitchen on the first floor, despite it's small size, and a bed on the second. And that's it as the floors are only....8x16? Minus room for the stairs. I could fit more in, but I haven't as yet.
Oh, and I should also point out the fence, which I'm very proud of. Might show off the technique I used separately at some point, as well as the rest of the interior. Should also point out that the flag bit would have the shops name on it, but due to a few factors it doesn't...mainly me not wanting to use part designer tbh.
And that's about it for the Florist. It's nice that I finally got it all rendered and uploaded. I really did go a bit mad with the modulars about a year ago, so there's still a few more to come.
This picture is so old, i've just not got round to uploading it.
I've always wanted to do a series of square format photos in black and white at night.
Square composition is very different to that we usually see. I think this works well, the frame dominantly taken by the scrap and what little negative space there is, filled by the moon and a few clouds and static stars.
I love how it looks, how the moon almost burns in to the rust on the digger bucket.
What does everyone think, more like this or, never do this again! haha

"The re-thinker"
"Re-thinker" by Lucas Dew 2014. Made from half a tonne of recycled steel, collected from recycling centres around Aberdeen.
The creation was inspired by Rodin's classic sculpture The Thinker, an iconic image that has been reproduced many times, but never using waste materials. The metal items, including pipes, bedsprings, spoons and a digger bucket, have been transformed into a work of art in a bid to change the way we think about rubbish.
The 6-foot high metal figure is on public display at Hazelhead Park Aberdeen.

Took Phil and Fran back to a location i've been shooting at for 4 years now, It was always the same for years then suddently became really dodgy, someone really doesn't want people getting in here! But despite warnings and such it was an alright night, shame it didn't get out starry as I wanted to trail the abandoned house here, lucky we called it a night when we did because when we got back to the car it started to rain.
This gave me a change to test out my new wireless flash triggers with my second flashgun, they are awesome, the range on them is immense and it allowed me to light paint inside something I would not usually be able to with such ease.
Famous words from Toy Story in the title, I've seen Toy Story for too many times now because it's my Son's favourite film of all time.
We'll be back here soon enough i'm sure, on a cleae night hopefully.
Unedited as always.

Who doesn't like a rusty tractor? Notable for the view towards Deufaen quarry, an unsuccessful 1870s project to win slate - or was it to win a competition for the most unpromising location for a quarry? The site is directly up from the digger bucket just below the crags where a ledge and some zig-zags still remain..

Fishkind Code : CRAB.
Lot no. : 2102.
Diagram no. : 1/570.
Design Code : ZC513A.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
The BR Civil Engineers Department were adept at converting and adapting redundant former revenue fleet vehicles for engineers use. That said they also sort to update some existing engineers stock with life extension work including a re-bodying programme. A classic example of this is the ZCV 'Crab'. These wagons were rebuilt for the BR Southern Region RCE Department. The donor vehicles being ZBV 'Lamprey' plus some ZBV/ZBO 'Grampus'. The work involved new steel floors and stronger fixed sides replacing the drop side doors which were often damaged by digger buckets. Surprisingly the end doors were retained for some reason although never used. Most also gained Oleo buffers and roller bearings while unfitted donors were rebuilt with vacuum brakes.
From lot no.2102 covering numbers DB 991301 to DB 991320 a total of 16 ZBV 'Lamprey' out of 20 built were rebuilt as ZCV 'Crab'. 231 ZBV 'Lamprey' were built for BR in total in three lots. Of those 58 were eventually rebuilt as ZCV 'Crab' in the 1983-84 period.

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : York Leeman Road CCE Yard.
Date : 09/04/1990.
Type : Open Ballast/Spoil Wagon.
Weight : 30t GLW, 9t Tare.
Number : DB 970026.
Number Series : DB 970000 to DB 970059.
Builder : 1987-88 by RFS Industries Ltd, Doncaster.
TOPS Code : ZDV (later changed to ZCV).
Fishkind Code : TOPE.
Design Code : ZC003A.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
With large numbers of vacuum braked HTV coal hoppers being declared surplus in the mid to late 1980's the BR Engineers Department took large numbers that would otherwise have gone for scrap. Because of the sheer numbers of vehicles involved most were promptly stored all over the country pending possible reuse. On a positive side they were braked vehicles rather than unfitted and many had roller bearings plus the underframes were on a reasonable 12ft length wheelbase. The driving factor was it would allow BR to eliminate remaining unfitted engineers stock.
BR came up with three variants for civil engineers use and issued new numbers in the DB 97xxxx range rather than retain original numbers with changed prefixes. The "new" wagon types were the 'Rudd' which was an updated version of the Grampus with drop side doors, the 'Clam' which was a solid open box body for new stone and finally the 'Tope' which was just a cut down coal hopper with the hopper discharge handles removed.
It's not unfair to describe the 'Tope' as the "Turkey" of the conversion programme, BR proposed a fleet of 2000 of them as they were a much simpler and cheaper conversion from the standard HTV hopper. The bodywork was lowered in height to reduce overloading risk and end guard plates were added to reduce spillage over the buffers when loading. The hopper doors remained in situ but were sealed shut and their operating handles removed and that was it. Their Achilles heel was the fact they retained the hopper body shape with sloping sides and ends, this made it impossible to empty the wagon with a conventional clam shell grab or digger bucket. The bodywork would get badly misshaped or punctured and a fair part of the load was not reachable in the hopper bottom. As a result most were used purely to carry waste ballast spoil rather than dual use with new stone as new stone could get contaminated from a previous spoil load. None the less BR managed to convert 815 HTV's into ZCV 'Tope' before halting the conversion programme.
The wagon depicted was ex HTV no. B 425714 and is from the first batch converted by RFS Industries Ltd and initially entered traffic with a ZDV TOPS Code which was what had been used when the vehicles still had their HTV running numbers but had been transferred to the engineers fleet for storage (i.e. DB 425714 ZDV). This was soon changed to ZCV although many from the first batch of 60 ran around with ZDV still on them, a hasty repaint of the D to a C is visible on this one.
My fan concept of LEGO City subtheme desert explorers
Minifigure: 4 desert explorers and 2 paleontologist
Price: $100
Pieces: 897 (+1 new element needed for excavator)
Note: the treads cannot connect all the way in Stud.io.
The vehicle are pretty much based on Volcano Exploration Base (set 60124). The first thing I started making is the excavator, wanting to size it down for the truck and temple to look bigger. As this is smaller a new digger bucket piece is needed to fit with the size of it.
The truck and trailer pretty much have the same base as Volcano Base but the trailer have the base of the excavator. To make the truck a bit more different I added horns for decoration and an add-on armor as the fuel tank.
The playability is of the exploration team digger into the temple and retrieving the coffin, but there are traps within to keep an eye out for.

Location : Carlisle Kingmoor Yard.
Date : 06/10/2018.
Type : Open Ballast Wagon.
Weight : 46 t GLW / 13.6t Tare.
Number : 391482.
Number Series : Random examples in the 391000 to 391 082, 391101 to 391160 and 391201 to 391698 number series.
Builder : Rebuilt 1996-2004 by Marcroft Ltd / Toton C&W / Tees C&W / Barry C&W / RFS Industries Ltd.
TOPS Code : MFA.
CCE Code : 'COALFISH' (see footnotes).
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
The MFA's are colloquially known as "Coalfish" but the Engineers Department Fish name has been adopted for many of the 46 tonne 2 axle ballast/spoil wagons. A true 'Coalfish' is a conversion from an MGR hopper with an MHA or MPA TOPS Code. The MFA's have a 1 tonne higher capacity at 32.4 tonne than a true Coalfish and are a relatively small fleet of ballast spoil wagons converted from MEA open box wagon. The underframes were ex HEA house coal hoppers built by BR Shildon Works in 1982 and unlike the MHA Coalfish the MFA's can run at 60mph loaded or empty. The high sided MEA's were unsuitable for use on ballast sites as a digger bucket didn't have enough operating room under overhead power lines to load the wagon so EWS the owner after privatisation set about cutting down the height of the sides thus the change of TOPS code from MEA to MFA to reflect the change of use.
