On the right is the Minotaur class destroyers. Three 5in guns, two quad 40mm installations and two double 18in torpedo launchers. Top speed of 33 knots, equipped with sonar and an optional mine layer.
On the left is a destroyer leader, Veraesa class. Four 5in guns, six quad 40mm turrets, top speed of 34 knots, the same torpedo armament as its smaller cousin, and. All the tech a destroyer leader requires.

To keep things simple I only added me "torpedo turret". But unless you want me to claim two 35in torpedoes on each destroyer just let me have two smaller turrets. Thank you.
I got it from E-bay for $40. the description said it was from the "Edwardian" period so I assume it's from the early 1900s and from Britian.
Got my Micro Scalextric Jaguar XJ220 V Cup set out for first time in 8 years so thought I should do a video of it.
My first micro-scale Blacktron ship. I plan on making a full minifig scale (Or minifig illusion scale) someday. This one is pretty much 1/6th scale.
Eurostar comin' thru'. - it was issued in a special 'National Geographic' packet, altough it's got wheels on, it doesn't fit the track. Galoob would have been better putting the body on a TGV chassis and making TGV coaches in Eurostar livery, it would have been a great model.

It took me a while until I found someone who could help me ID these aphid-sized dipterans.
I actually just assumed them to be long legged black aphids until I had a closer look and noticed the peculiar white haltere.

I am happy to announce my two new master classes -
1. The "INKredible Polymer 2" Pack &
2. The "INKredible Macrame" Pack
www.polypediaonlineexpress.com/inkredible2-inkredible-mac...
In the two "INKredible" packs I am featuring all my latest designs & techniques using polymer clay & alcohol inks.
The pattern sheets were used both to create earrings ("INKredible 2" pack), as well as beads knotted into micro macrame ("INKredible Macrame" pack).
The results were beyond my imagination.
I loved it & had to share it with you all.

The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a plant in the Solanaceae or nightshade family, as are its close cousins tobacco, chili peppers, potato, and eggplant. The tomato is native to Central, South, and southern North America from Mexico to Peru. It is a perennial, often grown outdoors in temperate climates as an annual, typically reaching to 1–3 m (3 to 10 ft) in height, with a weak, woody stem that often vines over other plants.
The leaves are 10–25 cm long, odd pinnate, with 5–9 leaflets on petioles[1], each leaflet up to 8 cm long, with a serrated margin; both the stem and leaves are densely glandular-hairy. The flowers are 1–2 cm across, yellow, with five pointed lobes on the corolla; they are borne in a cyme of 3–12 together. The word tomato derives from a word in the Nahuatl language, tomatl. The specific name, lycopersicum, means "wolf-peach" (compare the related species S. lycocarpum, whose scientific name means "wolf-fruit", common name "wolf-apple").
Early history
A variety of heirloom tomatoes.According to Andrew F Smith's The Tomato in America,[2] the tomato probably originated in the highlands of the west coast of South America. Although Smith notes there is no evidence the tomato was cultivated or even eaten before the Spanish arrived, this thesis is also questionable. Other researchers have pointed out that many other fruits in continuous cultivation in Peru are not present in the very limited historical record. Much horticultural knowledge was lost after the arrival of Europeans.
There is a competing hypothesis that says the tomato, like the word "tomato", originated in Mexico, where one of the two apparently oldest "wild" types grows. It is entirely possible that domestication even arose in both regions independently. Diversity data suggests the center of diversity for wild tomatoes is located in Peru, while the that of cultivated tomatoes, in Mexico. Thus, it can be hypothesized that wild tomatoes were introduced from Peru to Mexico, where they were domesticated.
In any case, by some means the tomato migrated to Central America. Maya and other peoples in the region used the fruit in their cooking, and it was being cultivated in southern Mexico and probably other areas, by the 16th century. It is thought that the Pueblo people believed those who witnessed the ingestion of tomato seeds were blessed with powers of divination. The large, lumpy tomato, a mutation from a smoother, smaller fruit, originated and was encouraged in Central America. Smith states this variant is the direct ancestor of some modern cultivated tomatoes.
Two modern tomato cultivar groups, one represented by the Matt's Wild Cherry tomato, the other by currant tomatoes, both originate by recent domestication of the wild tomato plants apparently native to eastern Mexico.
Apparently these tiny little bits of plastic do far more damage than larger man-made objects in the sea. Animals eat them and so don't get enough real food and/or die.

It's hard to see what "beach cleans" and the like can do about the stuff that washes up on beaches - it's far too tiny to pick up every bit.
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.
This teeny tiny swoon block finishes at 2" square - which means the HSTs finish at 1/4"!! I set it on point inside a thing pink border and matchstick quilted it with some variegated thread.
