I may have failed this year but next year I will be back and ready to SHIP!
I have learned a few valuable lessons from this year and from my first (still in progress) SHIP:-
1) Dedicate a few extra days (not just weekends, like this time) to actual building!
2) Have my collection sorted and ready to go, BEFORE September (I lost at least a day and a half sorting bricks so that I could find things).
3) Use LDD to sketch out ideas early in the process (rather than the more hit and miss 'start building and see what happens' method that I used this year) so that I know what I am working with and aiming for, and tied to this......
4)..... work out earlier the bricks I need from Bricklink so that I don't end up having to make important but late orders (which shot me in the foot this year - I am still waiting for my final order to come!!)
5) Maybe ease back on the play function details :-s As much as I love to add them, it does take me time to sort them out and get them working (I spent waaay too much time on my harpoons this year!)
6) Make sure that I get involved next time and have at least as much fun as I had this year! Even though I didn't finish in time, I have really loved the whole vibe of SHIPtember. It has certainly given my building a much needed boost and it has been great seeing everyone get fired up about building SHIPs and turning out some outstanding creations (even the unfinished ones!)
Are there any more months with building challenges? I know that we are now in MA.Ktober, but I am not sure I can do that one :-s Perhaps GARC does need a month? (even though it is still badass!)
The assault has begun. The young warrior has waited weeks for this chance at his revenge at the king, and now is his chance. He waited hours for the exact time to strike the guards and enter the kingdom gates where hundreds more soldiers lie protecting the great castle. He only has one chance, for if he is caught by a single guard and fails, the king will make sure that he has no chance at living again.

Haven't been posting for a while because of so much school, but I am trying to get some time for building in. Sorry for the slightly blurry picture, I didn't have much time to take it. Please comment if you favorite. Enjoy!
47145 assists a failed limestone train at Chinley East Junction on 10th March 1986.
37283 was pulling the eastbound train from Peak Forest and it had slipped to a stand just after making it onto the main line at Chinley.
Movements Inspector Mike Addison with trademark hat and who was my signalling instructor at the Victoria signalling school in 1983, has put Chinley's 355 clamp lock points on manual operation. The assisting loco has run up the short distance from Peak Forest to access the rear of the train and push it over the Hope Valley. The guard can be seen waiting at the rearmost vehicle.
The loco was withdrawn in July 1999 and reinstated in 2002 to Fragonset, Freightliner and then DRS.
It was gone for good in August 2009 and scrapped at Stockton.
BR Standard 3MT 2-6-2T 82029 on parcels duties at Waterloo station, on a cold sunny day in February 1967.
The loco lasted until the end of SR steam, in July 1967, and actually hauled one of the very last steam services from Waterloo, after being substituted for a failed loco at short notice.
82029 was scrapped in early 1968, and none of the class were preserved, but there is an active project to build a 'new' example, at the Severn Valley Railway.

LOLz this is for you Justin.

More to come...I'll catch up with everyone real soon!
So, we begin our journey through The Huntington Library with a fun photo, properly cooked up in HDR for Slider Sunday.
I was feeding this guy a few pecans as I was sitting on a bench resting and then he hopped up on the bench with me to look for more.
When I got up to shoot a couple of pics, he decided to investigate where the pecans were coming from by diving into my purse.
You gotta hand it to the little guy, he has good taste. Went right for my last Justin's dark chocolate peanut butter cup!
However, when he yanked the package out of the side pocket, he only had hold of the liner tray so the rest of it fell gently to the ground, right side up.
I proceeded to enjoy a mean girl moment only seconds after this shot was taken by picking up said peanut butter cup and eating it while pointing and laughing at poor Mr. Squirrel. LOL
Now, this is not to say Mr. Squirrel didn't have plenty of pecans...

The Oriental dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), also known as the black-backed kingfisher or three-toed kingfisher, is a species of bird in the family Alcedinidae.
This is a small, red and yellow kingfisher, averaging 13 cm (5.1 in) in length, yellow underparts with glowing bluish-black upperparts. A widespread resident of lowland forest, it is endemic across much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
The preferred habitat is small streams in densely shaded forests. In the Konkan region of southwest India, it begins to breed with the onset of the southwest monsoon in June. The nest is a horizontal tunnel up to a metre in length. The clutch of four or five eggs hatches in 17 days with both the male and female incubating. The birds fledge after 20 days and a second brood may be raised if the first fails. The young are fed with geckos, skinks, crabs, snails, frogs, crickets, and dragonflies. The rufous-backed kingfisher is sometimes considered a subspecies.

Film: Impossible PX600 Silver Shade
My new exhibition failaroids opens on Saturday April 1st c/o CUCO Cucina Contemporanea in Via del Melarancio 4r, Firenze.
The exhibition is part of the international panel of EXPOLAROID events.
Guaizine and I are pleased to invite everyone for the opening to be held at 6,30pm, April 1st..
failaroids is an idea I have been working on/collecting for during the past 10 years, now taking shape as a selection of 55 failed photographs on integral film.
The exhibition, collecting a selection of 55 failed photographs on all types of integral films, is part of the panel of EXPOLAROID international events. More details on the exhibition are coming in the next days, so stay tuned for more! Also coming soon more informations on how you can purchase these rather unique pieces.

A creation made last year, but I've never finished it. Lots of flaws, may rebuild it, but better.
Based on this: www.hourofwolves.org/?view=armies&which=gk&pic=5
Firstly, I did not make this image. My husband made it 10 years ago when his Sony Cybershot died. He was testing it and shot the window. You may be able to see the kitchen chair. This was the last image he made with it, and it turned out as a really cool abstract.
I have no problem hiking, walking, running etc is heels. But - um - the heels weren't quite up to the challenge.
I needed a support out at the corner of a print. I did not see this happen, so I'm speculating.
It looks like the support was never used, and that somehow my printer managed to turn a 90 degree corner in the middle of a "bridge".
Highly unlikely.
Someone else noted that what most likely happened (and reviewing the gcode would support this) is that the first layer above the support barely touched the tower (but did - just enough to enable the corner). Then as the layers were added and cooled, the material shrunk (as it's prone to do) pulling away from the support tower.

Cup + Wall + Enemy talking = Fool proof plan...right?
Sometimes, even the most simple of spy techniques fail...mostly due to a lack of windows.
Hooray for failure. This time the lesson was "8 wide trucks look extremely silly on 8 wide bodies". So these are now officially ditched and won't return in this design. (I blame BBB M-wheels for being exactly 1 stud in width so that brick build shrouding can't be recessed!)
Do feel free to copy, cause turns out my idea wasn't original either ;)
I was on a mega early (04.45-14.50) on Thursday and my plan, knowing that full sun was nailed on, was to do a one-shot move after work for the 17.31 BIF - CAR in the Bootle area.
Whilst en route I discovered that 6K73 was in the system. On checking a TOPS list I found that 37611 / 688 were rostered. I knew that 688 had trailed up from Crewe on C53 and should be leading so worked out that I could just about intercept the train at Bootle station without compromising my main target.
I arrived as the signal-man was about to close the crossing gates to traffic, ditched the car, grabbed camera & ladder and legged it sharpish across the road.
Although I couldn't yet see it I could hear the train approaching so zipped up the steps, knowing it was load 2, composed a nice shot with semaphore in the background and waited.
Bugger!
The nigger in the wood-pile was Class 20 No.20305 which at the time of the TOPS list was showing as allocated to the 7C20 / 1 Drigg trips and which had subsequently been tagged on to this train, inadvertently bollocksing up my shot.
Oh well, it was a nice idea!
