Oxford Diecast's first venture into the large 1/18 scale was a model of the Messerschmitt KR200 microcar, and shortly afterwards the same vehicle was released in 1/76; the latter is a tiny model, less than 1.5 inches long, but superbly detailed for its size. I believe 627 CD was the car driven by Philip Glenister and Ant Anstead in a recent episode of 'For The Love Of Cars'. Incidentally, the commonly-held belief that Messerschmitt cars used left-over canopies from WW2 fighter planes is a myth; the design is similar but they are different parts.
Keeping with tradition I made a miniature version of this years Lego display. Really happy with how this one turned out especially the truck. It was very difficult trying to get the details I wanted but I got there in the end. I really enjoy the problem solving that comes with building miniatures even if I do pull some hair out along the way.
Here's my finished entry for the Eurobricks “to sail the technic sea”-contest: A small port, with 9 functions, all powered by a single XL-motor, and just 17x21 studs small! You can control the functions with the switches in front of the actual port. Each switch resembles one function, but all switches are
This micro port has 9 functions. 6 are controlled by driving rings, 2 pneumatic, and the last one is running constantly. I marked all of them at the picture below.
1. Left crane back and forth
2. Left crane up and down
3. Left crane open and close (pneumatic)
4. Right crane up and down
5. Right crane turning
6. Right crane open and close (pneumatic)
7. Transport car back and forth
8. Boat forward and backward
9. Pneumatic pump

Like crack cocain for the tiny house builder. This book kept me awake half the night revisiting my desire to build something. I so loved Deek's first book because it was filled with such playfulness and imagination. This book with its full color pictures and eclectic sensibilities is even more inspiring. Still there are his comic book drawings of wacky shelter ideas, but the pictures of the actual building feats are so deliciously real that my mind enters another realm.
The book distinguishes itself with a broad scope of buildings from simple shacks to ones on trailers to tree houses to push carts. Not only is it a collection of notable like minded shelters across the country, but it includes many of Deek's own wonderful builds. Deek delights the eye with his sense of color and design. Coupled with his frugal salvage-collecting sensibilities every project embodies an eco ethic and available-materials driven direction that makes every build a unique work of art.
The handful of solution oriented plans at the end push the envelope as to what it is possible to live in in terms of real world utility. In particular the Woodsy Wagon pushcart and the Permatent with its outside kitchen and shower that inspired my rethinking of my own vision. These plans drawn up by Deek and others conjure up the spirit of the tiny house community in terms of a larger movement. But this is the book that really makes me want to get up and build something for the pure joy of it. Deek shows me in photos of every detail of these micro shelters and in his layman's terms (and plenty of made up ones too), convinces me how easily it can be done.

No English name found for this micro.
Wingspan 14-18 mm. Although extremely variable, this species can usually be distinguished from its near relatives by the strong indentation or lacuna in the median fascia above the middle and in dark forms this indentation tends to become obscure but is seldom totally obliterated.
It can often be disturbed during the day from vegetation along woodland fringes, verges, grassy fields and hedges.
When to see it
Later in the evening is the moth's normal flying time, when it can be attracted to light. It has quite a long flight period, from May to August.
The larvae feed on a wide variety of herbaceous plants.
A very common species throughout Britain. In the Butterfly Conservation’s Microlepidoptera Report 2011 this species was classified as common.

Een zeer algemene soort. Zij kan beschouwd worden als een van de algemeenste soorten bladrollers, die ook overdag vaak wordt aangetroffen. Er is geen exacte habitatvoorkeur, de soort is tevens zeer polyfaag.
Vanaf half april tot begin september, in doorgaans twee generaties - met soms een derde. Een variabele soort. De grondkleur is roomkleurig tot olijfgrijs met glanzende kwikzilveren schimmen en in dwarse golflijnen, soms ook donker waarbij de zilveren schubben nog sterk aanwezig zijn (Muus, 2008b). Het wortelveld is sterk zwart gestippeld, zijn rand met een uitsnijding in de vouw; middenband breed, benedenwaarts verbreed, uit talrijke zwartbruine golflijnen bestaande of massief, bijna zwart, gevolgd door een zilveren lijn, die drie takken dwars door de middenrand zendt, tot aan zijn midden; een lichtolijfkleurige of olijfgrijze streep uit het achterrandseinde, schuin naar boven; voorrand zwart met witte haakjes. Achtervleugels zijn purpergrijs (Bentinck & Diakonoff, 1968a, bewerkt).
De rups leeft van september tot na de overwintering in april en mei. De tweede generatie leeft in juni en juli (Bentinck & Diakonoff, 1968a), de derde dan ook in juli tot aan de eerste helft van augustus (Muus). De rups is variabel, van roetzwart of donkerbruin tot grijswit, geel of groen. De kop en nekschild zijn zwart of bruin (Bentinck & Diakonoff, 1968a). Zij leeft in een bijeen gesponnen deel van de plant, vooral de jonge loten en delen van de bladeren. Gedurende de winter in samengesponnen resten van de plant.
Een zeer polyfage soort die gevonden kan worden op een reeks loof- en naaldbomen (beuk - Fagus, berk - Betula, lijsterbes - Sorbus, wilg - Salix, Larix en spar - Abies) en ook veel kruiden en struiken, veel te vinden op brandnetel (Urtica), munt (Mentha) en spirea (Filipendula) (Razowski, 2003a). Boterbloem (Ranunculus) en distels (Cirsium) (Muus, kweek).

Racine had a car show for vintage micro cars; i.e., cars with a motor of less than 700 cc, three or four wheels, weighing less than 1,000 pounds and having been built in the 1950s or '60s.There were several dozen cars of assorted sizes and shapes.
These are all different makes. Some I couldn't identify as they had no sign on them, including this first one, which I thought it was really cute!
Update: According to rotec.holger, this is a Mikrus MR300 from Poland. Thanks.
