Yay! A new set of kelpies for my office. I can't remember who posted something about making a mini for your workspace, but here, here! And yes, there are two, mirror images to be exact. (see them big for all the hand stitches)
Blogged here.

Strobist: one Interfit Ace 100
A mini-scaled building in the style of one I did 5 years ago! At the time I thought I'd build more buildings of this size, so I included technic bricks with holes to start some sort of modular mini-scaled street. Then I never got around at building another one, until now! This build took quite a while and has a rather intricate inside to enable diagonal building. I actually explored a lot of different diagonal and SNOT techniques during the process of building this. I might upload a breakdown of the inside and some additional assemblies that didn't make the cut later.
Wow, I can't believe I haven't uploaded anything in six months! Of course, busy is always the excuse, but I must admit I had to rediscover my building motivation a bit. Right now summer is starting and that means I'll have more time to get building again. Hopefully see you soon!

Parisian, built to the same scale as set 10230: Mini Modulars. I took a lot of influence from other builders on this one, so credit where it's due: the front roof design is a very gently modified version of Chricki's brilliant design on Rebrickable, and the general window spacing/proportions are based on fgee's model.
I realized only as I was editing the photos that I made the dumpster's lid light gray instead of the dark gray that it should be. Oh well!
Having just dropped off the caboose (out of picture), the crew will pull forward to clear the switch and then head down into the sand pit to build the mini train.

It's Christmas and our last day on Costa Bella's beautiful Brampton Island! We have had this sim to ourselves for a whole week already so I finally asked Fang to take me horseback riding. We get to the rezzer and I am feeling some type of way! 😒 Look at the "horse" it gave me! I know I am small but COMON! 😂 How am I supposed to dash through the snow on this!!!!

Another carriage for my upcoming Ghost Train MOC, this time, it's mini pirate themed.
Now to decide on themes for three more...

Here's another picture of the mini AT-AT I designed for the photo Hothward Bound. I had planned to have Luke riding as if it was a horse (or even Taun-Taun), but I as I built the AT-AT, I realized it was simply too big. So I changed the concept a bit, and I think it worked out for the better.
Very happy with the foot design for this AT-AT, but of course there are always compromises to be made when you're building at mini/microscale. The ankles, sadly, bend side-to-side rather than front-to-back. I could have addressed that by changing the way the legs were constructed, but that would unfortunately make the legs longer and thus out of proportion with both the feet and the body.

Just a rather unassuming roster shot in the old Great Northern Railroad's Balmer Yard in Seattle's Interbay neighborhood. The 80 acre yard stretching a mile and a half is wedged in the valley between Queen Anne Hill to the east and Magnolia Hill to the west. Named for a former GN vice president the yard has more than 40 tracks and includes a 16 track mini hump built in the 1960s which is a true oddity in the modern era. Closed in 2020, I believe it reopened and I think it is still in use though hopefully a resident expert (Chris?) will chime in. I know the switches are powered though I'm not sure who controls them, presumably the hump conductor. I'd also like to know if it's just a straight gravity hump or if it has passive dowty retarders as I don't believe it was every equipped with fully automated retarders. One very cool thing about this yard is that it's readily visible to railfans from adjacent roads and bridges and there is even a public bike path running mere yards from the yard office and hump!
Sitting on the hump lead is BNSF 1655, a rebuilt RCO equipped SD39-2 originally blt. Jun. 1978 as Burlington Northern SD40-2 number 7057 in Cascade green.
