Please also note the two people on the terminal rooftop, probably doing maintenance work.

Rusty and Robby are always enjoying taking things apart. But Borgy is not always enjoying their efforts.

Thought I'd try out a Diptych format for these two images. I'm not sure if they really should be presented like this but I'm keen on learning.
This is the image that has started my fascination with diptych's. The process will just have to run it's course and I wonder where it will take me.
I've wanted to create a piece like this for as long as I've been using the LDD program, to add a scene to one of my models, instead of just a white, or coloured background. Unfortunately these seem to take a substantial amount of time, as I always over engineer them, and add great amounts of detail, but with my current free time being slim, I'm unable to put a background that I'm happy with to any of my models.
I've been thinking of a way to compromise, and although I'm happy with this project, I think it will be my only one like this. If I am to build any more, then I will simply have to put the time in wherever and whenever I can, and create something worthy of the effort.
My inspiration for this particular build came from when I saw Alex Sonny's contest entry piece, which is a simplistic, yet stunning piece of work. Even before I started building, my intention was never to copy his work brick for brick, but simply the concept, and so I sent him a short message just letting him know my intentions, and asking permission to use his idea. Both me, and Alex agreed that he didn't own the concept of a tank in a state of maintenance, but he was still very grateful that I asked first, and was kind enough to give me the go ahead.
You can find Alex's beautiful scene here, please do take a look.

The first thing you might notice about this area, is that it seems to be rather busy, and that is because the country is currently not officially at war with anyone, so workshops such as this are not as crowded as they are during wartime. Minor border skirmishes are still common, so troops, as well as tanks and other vehicles are still sent to border regions with countries that are considered a threat. Even during peacetime, tanks such as the Marauder are still deployed in considerable numbers to deter any envious neighbour nations from thinking we've become lax behind our walls.
This particular Marauder tank was one of the early models off of the production line, and has been in service for three years, but now during peacetime, the chance to recall such early models and upgrade them to newer specifications is ideal. Even though war machines are expected to be lost, and their life spans can often be short, regular maintenance is critical to keeping your armed forces running, and fighting. Even though it's not always possible to pull front line vehicles out of a fight just to oil the gears and change air filters, every effort is made to make sure that vehicles are serviced to a certain degree. Being in a well equipped workshop like this, there is nothing that can't be fixed, replaced, or improved. Every need of the tank is met here, be it from simply replacing worn track pins, to completely updating the entire operating system of the tank, and everything inbetween.
Tanks are driven into the workshop under their own power, and then lined up onto a long stretch of independent free moving rollers, until they're hooked into a conveyor system, which is controlled by a terminal located at the side of the line. The tank will be pulled to pre-set stops on the line, where various tasks will be completed, such as removing the gun barrel, hoisting the turret off of the hull, and removal of the engine. As this is an early model, it is in need of many upgrades, including a new braking system, but those bolts can be stubborn, and may require a little heat to be persuaded. The engine will be moved to a specialist area of the workshop for a strip down and full rebuild, this can take the longest time of all the separate jobs. It takes two men to push the engine down the line, a wheeled carriage does make it easier, but still not easy. A faulty fuel sender in one of the auxiliary fuel tanks has been causing trouble for some time, and if you're going to replace one, you might as well replace them both. Worn mounting brackets on the gun barrel can cause misalignment at longer ranges, but the Marauder has found to seldom suffer from this problem, however, while the tank is in the workshop, it makes sense to replace such a crucial part while you can. A barrel cleaning is something that can be done in the field, but it can be done with much greater care and detail in the workshop.
Getting that guy up that ladder was a bloody nightmare. Even the workshop needs repairs from time to time.

a vital tool in sewing machine maintenance
i needed to remove the needle plate under the needle to get to the dog feed to clean out the lint debris. the dog feed moves the fabric along when sewing craftingagreenworld.com/articles/replace-the-sewing-machi...
problem - my short handled screwdriver was too long to get under the covering of the sewing machine to get to the screws holding down the needle plate.
a you tube search said use a small coin. i tried but that was too thick for the screw head
i visited a building suppliers at the top of my road. the owner had died at the end of last year aged 56 heart attack. his wife and son have been in the shop selling everything off before renting the premises. i explained the problem to the son. i was shown the same short screwdriver that i have at home
luckily for me his mother over heard my problem. she went under the counter and in a few seconds found this screwdriver. 'that'll do it'. she was right. it made my day :)
i'm a complete beginner at dressmaking. posting photos of progress to encourage myself to continue www.flickr.com/photos/connect2012/albums/72177720305370633/ i'm not making any recommendations ...
37250 with a p-way train consisting of track panels and ballast wagons heads past Argyle St Newcastle on 29th April 1984. We enjoyed something of an EE fest, in the space of a few minutes there was firstly 37100 with another p-way service, 37250 as seen here and finally 40009 working the Heaton to Red Bank empty newsvans.

- R14 de-icer car RD340, built in 1949 and the last of its kind in service in the system, identifiable by its clerestory roof.
