Yesterday I made miniature pencils for my dolls. It's very good for the MSD and YoSD scale. I decided to let Elise model the pencil. ^ v ^ )b
I've finally added the last details to my SD size crossbow: the feathers on the arrow and the string... Now it is finally complete!

I began going through and trying to catalog all of my re-ment last night. This isn't all of it....I have 7 storage cases that are completely full, need to buy another tomorrow. About 10 sets that need to be opened and put away, about 10 different storage/furniture pieces and then all of the sets that are in Blythe towers and the Cafe etc. I have an addiction to miniatures, I love them. Hubby bought me 4 new sets today haha
The Southsea Miniature Railway first opened in 1932 as a 9.5" gauge line operated by a pair of Bassett Lowke 4-4-2 steam locos. After the war it was taken over by new owners and reguaged to 10 1/4" and operated by a pair of steam locos built by Guest and acquired secondhand from Dudley Zoo. The railway was a huge success .....for example, over 7,000 passengers rode the train over the August bank holiday weekend in 1946.
During the late 1940s/early 50s a company called Southern Miniature Railways built three similar steam locos - 'Valiant' and 'Victory' went to Southsea while the third, 'Vanguard' went to their own railway in Poole Park...in 1951 they also took over operation of the Southsea line.
In the early 1960s the railway built a couple of petrol locos and the steamers were sold off in 1964.
The railway closed at the end of 1976 and the two petrol locos were sold to the railway at Sandham Castle on the Isle of Wight. The line at Southsea reopened the following year as a 17" gauge third-rail electric operation. In 1985 it was rebuilt back to 10 1/4" but finally closed in 1989.
The two old petrol locos were later scrapped when the Sandham Castle railway closed down. The steam locos, Valiant and Victory, spent some years in a scrapyard before being rescued, the best bits of the two were incorporated into one locomotive and this now runs on a private railway in Lincs.
Where was the railway situated? The station was located close to where the aquarium now stands. It then ran down beside the sea wall towards Southsea Castle where it turned around a loop and came back again. Back then this area was known as Children's Corner and in addition to the train there was an outdoor swimming pool, boating lake, amusements and even a zoo. Everything is now gone and apart from the aquarium the remainder of the site is now just an empty field.
I was moving my dolls house and all the pieces on the shelves in the basement room fell off :(... well I guess thats a good excuse for a sort out before I put them back on the shelves:)
It was a kitchen and restaurant :(

It have been a really long time since i've post a tilt-shift effect photo so here is one ... I really believe that it works great on this shot as the people looks tine and the train as if they were toys which is what miniaturization all about :)

Wir vergessen es im Alltag gerne, aber der Hund ist ein vom Menschen geschaffenes Geschöpf. Und seine menschlich gesteuerte Evolution ist längst nicht abgeschlossen. Die Rasse der Miniature Bull Terrier ist dafür ein gutes Beispiel. Sie wurde erst im Jahr 2011 vom Internationalen Verband anerkannt.
