I participated in a draft of 40124 Winter Fun and 40125 Santa's Visit recently (my first actually) and this is what I got!
I got the trans clear 1x2 bricks and grass stalks through trading. And the flat silver 1x1 round tiles, black 1x1 cheese slopes, black 4L bar, and Mixel joints were all gifts from the sorter.
Had a lot of fun participating, the guys I did it with were active and good to work with. I'd do it again anytime!
Chicago is hosting the annual NFL draft. On the plaza by the Chicago Tribune building, they had giant team helmets where fans mingled by, many getting their picture taken by their favourite team. Go Packers!

in a pasture on the Biltmore Estate. These very large and strong horses give carriage rides to visitors to the Estate, and are cared for royally.
I know almost nothing about photographing moving subjects, so attempting to do justice with my camera to these gorgeous animals who are constantly moving is a whole new world for me. Using the right settings would help, lol! So much to learn!
Its not very often you could see a Class 156 and SR EMU in the same photo. However, due to door problems on the Class 155s, a number of new 156s were drafted in to Canton to help cover services.
PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR.

NS 1065, the S&A, leads northbound manifest train NS 14Z through Stuarts Draft, VA as the train passes the famed N&W signals that in just a few months time would be replaced for “modern” signals. Even though the signals themselves might be gone, the memories and photos of Stuarts Draft will live on.
This is an early "first draft" version of the Vector starfighter.
Although the finished fighter came out very different, I did carry over the nose section as the twin hulls of the Vector.
After last year's Simon Drafting, we knew we had to do it again...
Round one was won by Kyle with his 'spaceship'. Round two, after building his third 'space pimp' goes to Evan... and (Adrian rule) buddy built by me.
What's Simon Drafting you ask? for those those that forgot the rules:
Rule 1: Simon makes the rules
Rule 2: All rules may change at any time, including Rule 1.
Rule 3: Prior to Drafting the sets, we must play with the set and do an Alt Build.
Rule 4: Simon gets to decide which alt build is 'the best.'
Rule 5: Simon reserves the right to keep said build.
Rule 6: For winning, the best build, as determined by Simon, gets first pick.
Rule 7: The best build, ALSO gets to play for free.
Rule 8: Simon can win, but can't go first.
Rule 9: The Adrian rule: If you're done, audience members may jump in and build with your remaining parts - if that build is deemed better than the original drafter's build, that drafter forfeits the spot to the clearly better builder.
Rule 10: I can't stop this feeling... deep inside of me. Girl you don't just realize what you do to me..... .... Awesome Mix Vol 1 must be played and sung. By everyone.
My father's F.P.I. horse hair desk brush and paper weight from his patent drafting career. The paper weight is one of a few he made and the brush features a twine job he did on the handle. After that much effort it makes sense to mark the items with your initials.
These Roman numerals on the bow of the Picton Castle are useful for determining the draft (or draught) of the ship. The water line is right at X and the upper numbers are reflected over the numerals I - IV.
Another vehicle, this time detailed enough to guide an actual solid model. Again, 1:35 scale.
This one is a small utility vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell for power. In the theme of Industrialpunk, or Hibernia, whichever. I'm not totally sold on the cab, but now that I have the dimensions down, I can play around with the shape. I may try out something closer to this, this, this, this, or this.
